6th Match // [video] Violet

[fuelthefire]

[The video starts off with one supremely zoomed-in eye - Krieg's eye, surrounded as usual by the eyehole of his mask. Once the device is going he pulls back to a slightly less uncomfortable distance (for the viewer, anyway, let's be real here), and announces:]

MnahahAHAHA! THERE'S NO FENCE ON THIS FENCE!

[That is one proud Psycho. He flips the 'Gear so that it no longer displays his mask-covered face (you're welcome), but instead one (1) Electrode, looking like a very smug asshole, and one (1) enormous - well. That has to be a Muk, no Grimer is that big. One Muk, looking very pleased, and...just a tiny bit demure? Well, it sure is nice to know at least one of Krieg's Pokemon has some modesty.]

The Spark Ball and the Slag Stack owned the birds!

[Spark Ball lights up briefly with a crackle of smug static, while Slag Stack seems to gather itself up as if to sit (or stand?) a bit straighter, and wave one oozing limb at the camera. They are the champions, yes, it is true!]

The bug gym is next!

[Only Krieg could make a harmless announcement sound like a threat.

...But, let's be real, here; now that the Vault Crew is taking on the Gym Challenge, the bug gym's days are numbered.]

1st [video]

[headheldhigh]

[It's always easy to tell when someone handling the gear isn't used to such technology. Case in point: this video, starting off with a very nice view of the sky! Two voices can be heard, one of them kind but a bit exasperated as she explains how to work the gear to the other. This goes on for a few moments before the video shifts, and a face finally comes into view.

It's a teenage girl, and... gees, she looks like she's had it rough. Her face and hair are a bit dirty, and it's even worse on what can be seen of her once-white shirt. There are dark circles under her eyes, like she hasn't slept in a while, and she generally looks like she's Seen Some Shit. Still, despite her disheveled and distressed appearance, a hint of awe manages to cross her face.]

This... isn't a dream, is it?

[She's already given up on that explanation. She's too sore for this to be anything other than real life, and she's not sure if that's better or worse. She's no longer atop Wall Rose, can't even see a hint of it... just what in the world is going on?]

B-But dream or not, I need to find my friends! We were able to regroup with others, but... I'm still worried. Please, if anyone can help me... their names are Reiner Braun, Bertold Hoover, Connie Springer, and Ymir. Reiner and Ymir have been hurt, I need to make sure they're okay...!

[Reiner's arm, broken and mauled was bad enough, but... she doesn't think she'll ever get the sight of Ymir fresh out of her titan out of her head; arm and leg missing, a good chunk of her side gone, steam rising in a steady cloud from her injuries... it's enough to make her shudder.

Ah, but she can't dwell on just that now. She got what she needed to out, and there's nothing left to do but wait for a response. In the meantime...]

And, um... these creatures....

[The camera shakes a little; it looks like the girl is sitting down, and almost immediately, a Larvitar crawls into her lap, leaning in veeery close to the gear, despite the girl's protests.]

Hey, stop--!! [There's a bit of a scuffle as she tries to push the Larvitar away from the camera, as the creature does not seem too happy to be pushed around. But she emerges victorious, with only a little bit of growly grumbling from her new companion off-screen.] What is this thing? I-It doesn't look like any lizard I've ever seen...
