Video; Suicune no swiping

[The video switches onto very shaky, jerky footage of the inside of a tent, and then a tentflap being pushed aside with very indistinct muttering in the background.

Outside, the early light of dawn is grey in a persistent drizzle. The gear (still not completely steady) looks out over a reasonably neat camp. Smokey the Ursaring would be pleased. Their old XO would only assign twenty laps. All in all, a very normal scene.

Apart from the legendary pokemon standing in the middle of camp like it does this sort of thing every day. That is a little not normal.

Have you ever seen Suicune? Have you ever seen Suicune steal a tea kettle? You have now.

The large blue legendary pokemon lowers its muzzle to nose at the kettle, before clamping its sharp teeth around it and lifting it up.]


Ah! No! No, no.

[It drops the kettle again, staring straight into the gear. For a moment everything seems to go still, even the sound of the rain drizzling down coming to a stop. It's a moment that seems to stretch, perilously thin and then suddenly it snaps, like a bubble bursting, and Suicune bends down to clamp its teeth around the tea kettle again and then it is off with a great leap, the rain suddenly coming down again with a roar.]

At least we know it wasn't Galliard--

[The Pokemon in question rumbles and snorts against his back. He is much more impressive than some kettle thief, thank you!]

H-Have you ruled out anything else that might be in the area? Or even from other trainers?

I'd... be really concerned if it was a trainer.

[Who would go around doing something like that??? Stealing kettles??]

...It didn't take any of my pots, did it? I can probably make some coffee in that.

[People, no.]

Or smelled. I don't know what was in the last batch you bought, but Marcel kept making faces at it.

[Even Bertolt did, but he's not sure if it was a case of too much of a mint flavor or a mint smell.]

Can you get the fire pit cleared out a little? I'm going to get my bag of grounds, then you can show me what it was.
