4th Curse [Video] [Forward dated to Friday the 21st]

[ Todays viral video that's spreading like wildfire features a pink haired trainer handing out flyers at the Game Corner in Goldenrod. She looks sort of bored but she's making the most of it with some encouraging smiles and while you can't hear what she's saying she seems to be convincing some people to go seek out the Game Corner for a good time.

Then you can vaguely hear some shouting and as she turns around to see what's going on a FUCKING MILTANK comes out of nowhere performing a rollout attack and crashes into her legs sending her flying and her flyers going everywhere.

She hits the ground hard enough the crowd winces as the trainer of the Miltank goes running by to try and stop it. Meanwhile pink haired girl is scrambling to retrieve her flyers...a strong gust of wind sweeps them up and turns them into a rolling tornado of papers.

At this point most people might give up but this girl apparently is stubborn because she goes racing after them, leaping over a bench and catching some papers out of the air. Indeed her acrobatics are quite impressive...until she catches her foot wrong on a trashcan and falls into it butt first.

The papers are flying away and she's struggling to get out, even calling out her Honchkrow to help her.

...the Honchkrow simply starts laughing. So is apparently the person holding the camera because it's shaking and when the pink haired girl glares and waves a hand the camera person can't stop giggling long enough to get her out.

It's OK though because...CRASH! The Miltank is back and sends the pink haired girl, and her trashcan flying. When it smashes back to the ground she's running ontop of it in a desperate scramble as it rolls down hill and out of sight. The camera person doesn't seem to be able to follow she's laughing so hard.

...you might think the video is over...but then you hear a loud buzzing sound.

Running back up the hill the pink haired girl is looking terrified and for good reason. Somehow she must have crashed her can into a tree or something because a swarm of angry Beedril are now hot on her heels shooting off pin missiles. It's at this point the camera person decides to take cover inside a nearby building. When she turns the camera back to a window you can see the pink haired girl swinging a tree branch wildly while a Litten, a Torracat, a ponyta and the Honchkrow are all trying to ward off the Beedril.

And now her hair is on fire thanks to a misfire from the ponyta. Shrieking she calls out a Brionne who hoses her down and leaves her sopping wet, hair singed, stung in several places and clutching a few ruined Game Corner flyers. Finally spotting the camera person again she holds up the most legible Game Corner Flyer so the camera can see it.

How's that for Viral Marketing?

[Excuse me while I die from laughter.]

[ Jinx should have known today was a stay home in bed day when her breakfast got dumped in her lap by the waitress at the cafe she and Diana went to.]

Don't mind me I'm just going to...wring out my hair or something...ugh the tips are all crisped now. I'm gonna have to get them trimmed...

More like you'll need it shaving. [She says in an incredibly teasing tone.]

Ugh, don't even joke like that. I would not look good bald.

With my skin tone I'd probably look like one of those old fashioned aliens from the black and white movies.

[Diana's laughing again.]

[Even Jinx has to laugh at that, except she's also wincing]

Heh heh ow...heh ow...hurts to laugh...ha...ow

[Nope, can't talk, this is too funny. Everytime she tries to calm down, she looks at Jinx, or Jinx speaks and suddenly she's in hysterics again.]

Oh wow, that looked like it hurt a lot.

Yes...yes it did.

[She's got a bag of ice and she's holding it to her cheek. Her Jynx is standing nearby and decides to try and help...summoning an Avalanche which crushes Jinx and covers the screen in snow.]

[Congrats, Jynx. You get an actual video from this asshole. He's bundled up in normal clothes, sitting on a rock..or a chunk of ice, it's hard to tell, looking thoroughly amused.]

Beauty and grace~

[She feels so honored.]

Will totally kick you in the face.

[She's holding an ice pack to her head right now, her hair looking shorter now that she's cut the burnt bits out.]

You sure about that? You don't look like you're in the condition to do anything.

[His grin grows as he winks at her.]

Nice haircut.

With the day I've been having? Just standing near you should be enough to make a tree fall on us or something. Don't tempt me.

This is actually pretty mild. Back home I would have days like this every so often and they were much worse.

[Shutup you she knows she can rock the shorter hair look.]

Aw, don't be like that~

Bad luck follow you wherever you go or something?

[Hey, he's not saying it's bad. It looks really good on you, Jynx. That's just not something he'd say outloud.]

Since the day I was born.

I used to be able to control it back home. Here? Not so much.

[At least it's been pretty subdued since then. And she'll respect he opts not to directly compliment her. That just how some villains roll.]

Special power? Sounds handy.

[God does he miss his own powers.]

You a super hero or something?

[It comes out in a drawl, an eyebrow going up.]

[She snorts like that's the stupidest sounding idea in the world even though she literally was a new member of a worldwide superhero team before coming here.]

No way. Self righteous bullies wearing their supposed morals on their chests? Not my style.

I was just a girl who liked to have fun. I went to school, studied to be a big shot some day. And whenever I wanted to have a little fun my powers were...well pretty useful.

Luck can effect just about anything in big or small ways if you know how to use it.

[Of course downplaying her true origin story over the network. Maybe next time you're at Rocketbase she'll tell you the truth.]

[His lips quirk into a grin.

Oh he's definitely interested in hearing the real story.]

Sounds like tons of fun. I never bothered with school--just traveled a lot. Guess I might have missed out on being social or something.

[Not that he cares.]

I'm guessing you know how to use it really well?

Sometimes the lessons you learn out in the world are more important then studying anyway.

[She had to learn that the hard way.]

It's so natural to me now I barely have to think about it. But growing up it was a lot more unpredictable.

That's for sure. Everything I've heard about school just sounds pointless.

Sounds like me and my powers. You don't even have to think about it once you're use to them.

Well I wouldn't say pointless. Just not useful for all types of learning. After all I learned all sorts of useful skills in my classes.

What kind of powers did you have back home?

If you say so.

I could control darkness. Create monsters out of it. Travel to different worlds. Wield a Keyblade. That sort of stuff.

No kidding? I knew a girl who could do that stuff back home. Also telekinesis, other kinds of magic. You wouldn't happen to be half demon would you?

...never heard of a keyblade though.

Not unless a demon is forged out of the darkest emotions in a person's heart. I'm one half of a whole--or at least, I was before I came here.

[Now he's a real boy.]

Not everyone can wield them so I'm not surprised.

I mean...who's to say how Demons are made? I didn't exactly have a chapter in health class about when a mommy demon loves a daddy demon very much.

Must feel good to be whole now then?

[He can't help but snicker.]

I doubt anyone really wants to know how it happens.

[Her question makes him shrug, the young man seemingly indifferent about it.]

It's weird but I can't complain, I guess.

[Yes he can. Having a full range of emotions is terrifying.]

What's different about it now then back then?

I mean...there has to be some differences or how would you have noticed?

...I can feel other emotions. That's the weirdest part. Back home there was just a certain range of emotions I could feel, since I was all of the dark parts of Ven--of my other half.

And I have my own heart--it's not just a heart I share with someone else.

Hmm, other then having to adjust with emotions it sounds like you came out on top in this trade.

Got your own heart, don't have to be all dark and emo. You can be dark and fun instead.

I guess that's one way of looking at it.

[He smirks lazily.]

Does make things more interesting.

Sounds like you get to be more independent.

I can't lie, it's nice not having my other half around or the old geezer that was bossing me around all the time.

I mean...I'll give ya credit, that's some dedication to handing out flyers. You alright after all that though?

[ He would have given up on the flyers/advertising after landing in the bin, so. Props to her, she just showed off the flyer after all that shit like it was a planned stunt!

He also has no idea this was one of the Rockets he had viciously gone for during Prom,
woops. ]

[But oh boy does she recognize him. Play it cool Jinx.]

I am nothing if not a professional.

[If anything it was more out of desperation and stubbornness but she doesn't need to admit that.]

I've had worse. I used to have days like this every once in awhile back home. It's just bad luck balancing out the scales.

That's...kinda nuts I'll be honest with ya. For that kind of shit to happen to me, I have to go asking for it. [ Which he does. Kinda frequently. ]

So what, you had a row of shitty luck so you're gonna trip over a huge bag of money, have a new cool Pokemon decide you're it's best friend and good weather's gonna follow you around while being unbearable for everyone else? Or am I supposed to have great odds on the slots since, ya know, it is advertising?

[ He's clearly joking with that last part. Turns out, when you're not trying to take his Pokemon, he's actually pretty chill. ]

I mean, that would be nice, but without my powers in this world I reeeeally doubt it.

Plus it sounds like I'm not the only one having a rotten run of luck.

...that being said I think the slots really are tilted in your favor. They want more people to win and come back for more you know?

I thought it was the other way? it'll sometimes give you a win, but usually it fucks you over to eat your money so you have to keep paying up?

But man, that's a load of bull. You can't even get your good luck from all that happening? I thought that was how karma's meant to work? [ He shook his head, huffing out his nose. ] Well, here's hoping you don't have more Looney Toons bs happen today.

Oh, name's Ash by the way! Nice to meet ya.

Jinx. Nice to meet you too.

I can't go into the actual science of how statistics determine how often you can win but trust me, the odds are in your favor. I can't promise they'll always be that way but now's a good time to try.

[Lies lies lies, so many lies.]

Yeah I'm just gonna try and go lay down. Maybe take a shower first...stupid Miltank.

[ Ash gave her a cheeky smile. ]

Hey, I can't trust your word; it's your job to get me in there to spend money, isn't it?

But yeah, I do hope you feel better after a break. Where the fuck did that Miltank even come from??

Some random kid was practicing rollout with his miltank and it got out of hand...apparently very out of hand.

Good thing those cows are mostly soft and squishy or I might still be flat.

[Well, flatter]

Jesus. They can still hit pretty hard. I remember fighting Whitney, her Miltank was a monster. I was lucky I had a fighting Pokemon when I faced that thing.

So yeah, maybe take it easy for a bit. Or take up extreme sports, since it looks like you're able to take a few knocks and keep going!

Trust me, I had plenty of practice.

[How many times had she been kicked in the face by the Teen Titans? Let alone how many times she'd done the kicking.]
