[a_sin_for_him]

[It's been a very rough collection of weeks. But rather than mope about and drink - tempting as it is - Lust is trying to be somewhat productive. And god knew there's been enough disheartening and mourning posts on the network of late, she doesn't need to pile on to that. Besides...this time she has Pokemon, as a living memory. Strange as it seems, that helps.]

[So the video opens on three small Espurr, sitting all in a line on a carpet that anyone familiar will recognize as the living room of Lust's home. One Espurr is wearing a pink ribbon around her neck and a bow on her head, the other two are wearing little bow ties - red and blue respectively. Lust's ankles and feet can be seen in the background.]

Alright darlings, just like we practiced.

[The Espurrs turn as one to look at her. They stand up on their stubby little legs....]

[And then it's just chaos. The one in pink toddles hurriedly off to paw and jump at Lust's ankles, while the one in the red bow tie flops onto his stomach and starts chewing on the tail of the third. Who simply stands there and wails.]

Oh for the love of...Mehitabel, move I'm going to step on you...

[There's a blur of movement as Lust scoops up the gear - as well as the wailing green bow tied Espurr - and holds it up to her own face. Which looks rather tired.]

I swear that went better in practice. They're learning to dance.

To varying degrees of success.

This has nothing to do with dancing Espurr, but I think I'd like to take an extended trip soon. I could use a change of scenery for a time.

Video:

[The video flickers to life showing an exasperated-looking Boone sitting under the shade of a tree, with a Skorupi sat beside him. He's clearly only just accepted the presence of the pokemon beside him, if barely, made obvious by the way he gives it the side-eye every so often.]

Oh, it's on.

[He mumbles it to himself, frowning. He's never worked something like this before.]

Apparently this thing broadcasts to other people. So... I'm new here. Had some things explained to me, but I figure if anyone's got any information I'd like to hear it. Kinda confused about pokemon moves and types. I figured out how to scan this thing beside me- [he nods towards the Skorupi] -and it gave me a list of moves and told me it's a bug/poison type, but that's not really helpful on its own. And, uh... if you've got any tips for someone who just got here, I'd appreciate it.

Action - Route 29:

[He's just finished battling a wild pidgey, and Boone's Skorupi is looking fairly beat up. As it turns out, bug types aren't great against flying types. Boone would rather it didn't follow him around but that doesn't mean he wants to see it hurt, so he's kneeling by it near a patch of grass, trying to figure out what to do. Some help would be appreciated; in fact, if he sees someone walking by, he'll call out to them.]

Hey, you. Can you help?

[He gestures to the injured pokemon.]
