001 : Day One, Can I Go Home Now? (video)

[standingonmyneck]

[Your video suddenly clicks on. Someone's already started their journey and hadn't bothered coming online yet, and only was on accident. There was a scene unfolding before you, a girl with thick glasses and really pale skin sat by the base of a tree and had a book in her hands. She appeared to be barely attentive to a stranger in from of her. The stranger was obviously a trainer, but the girl was in no rush to get up and engage. She obviously wasn't holding the camera, something else was.

The scene would go as follows:]

"Come on...just ONE go? We both got one Pokemon, I only see one ball!"

"Your eyesight does indeed work. But I told you, I'm not interested."

"But this is where trainers hang out! Why come where trainers go if you're not battling?"

"This is a good spot, no one said non trainers weren't allowed. But if you look just around the corner, I bet you'll find thousands. So why bother with me?"

"Don't you want to have your Pokemon DO stuff?"

"Fitzgerald is just fine. You're seriously barking up the wrong tree, I'm not making him fight if he doesn't want to."

"Aaaaaabraaaaaa..."

"Look, we'll double the wager. I really want to see what my Haunter could do!"

"Your Haunter."

"Yeah!"

"Haunter is a Ghost type."

"...Yeah?"

"So...Riddle me this, why bug me to battle your Haunter with my Abra? A Psychic type. Putting up a good wager on top of it."

"...Uh."

"So I take the bait with a high chance of you winning this glorified cock fight, and taking away money. You win, I lose. That's what I call glory."

[The trainer then turns around, very quickly. The girl then gets up, exasperated. She placed her book in her backpack before motioning over to what had the camera the entire time. Expressionless, and appearing apathetic, she dusted off her black skirt.]

"Let's get out of here, Fitzgerald. Before other trainers attempt at being smart. I'm feeling a bit too claustrophobic."

"Aaaabbraaaaaaaa."

Holy shit, that's a cool Pokemon! And a cool shutdown.

[ Hey it's a fellow newcomer! Although he's taken to this whole scenario a bit more enthusiastically than Daria had. ]

So he's floating cos he's psychic? What else can he do? Ur, if ya don't mind me asking.

:>

[standingonmyneck]

[That enthusiasm was well noted. It was just harder to deal with chipper people, even if they aren't rude to her for not being so. So there would be more genuine social awkwardness here.]

Well, other than teleporting out of convenience or inconvenience; he takes the longest naps I have ever seen a living thing take.

[rambling_runner]

Like a psychic koala? [ That's awesome and pretty damn cute. Danny, Ash's Riolu, jumps up to stand on Ash's shoulders, holding onto his hair so he can see Daria and Fitzgerald. ]

Oh right! This is Danny! He's not psychic but he can sense what people are feeling somehow. Oh, and I'm Ash. It's nice to meet ya both. [ Danny grinned and waved in greeting to them both, with a happy Rioo! ]

You just got here too?

[standingonmyneck]

[Can Danny feel the feeling of pure indifference and discomfort? She was feeling that right now.

Though Daria awkwardly waved. Fitzgerald wasn't around, he actually teleported so the camera wouldn't get him. Lucky son of a gun. Daria was so jealous.]

Daria. I would say it was more akin to a fox but to each their own.

[rambling_runner]

[ Danny wasn't strong enough to use his abilities through the gear, sadly. But Ash wasn't a complete idiot, as he suddenly remembered the tail-end of the video. Where Daria had said she was feeling crowded in and was going off to read. WOOPS. ]

Oh damn, I just remembered; at the end of the video you said you were going off to read by yourself. And then I called you up. [ He's definitely sheepish about that. ] Sorry about that, I got excited cos of your Pokemon and how coolly you handled that other guy.

I'll leave ya to your reading if you want!

[standingonmyneck]

[How to make of this guy: he's really nice or he's out there in his own world she can't go. This was where introversion and being so reserved was a double edged sword.

He did seem to acknowledge it? Maybe a little? Well.]

It's fine, I mean you could be the kind of person that would try to swindle money out of me.

[rambling_runner]

Well, I reckon you'd show me where to go if I even tried that. [ He knew several sarcastic types, including his own Dad, so he wasn't going to jump into a battle of wits with her. ]

Anyway, was nice meeting ya and Fitzgerald. Cya!

[ And he clicks off the Gear to leave Daria to her book. Maybe they'd end up crossing paths in the future! ]

[standingonmyneck]

Uh, yeah. Same to you.

[Well...that wasn't...bad. Huh.]
