Who: Dimitri and you
Where: Goldenrod
When: Throughout the week of Jan 10 - 11
Summary: Dimitri has decided that he's not totally into such huge cities as Goldenrod... What, with the random fangirls, and the Pokemon Rights Activists. That doesn't mean Dimitri isn't going to take advantage of the city for what it's worth.
Rating: T, mostly for Option B at Fight Club
Notes: Feel free to hit up any of his options with prose or action tags, I'm game for either.



A - Video Network Post, Jan 13

[As is often the case with Dimitri, he starts up the video maybe a little clumsily, with the camera shaking a little bit and focusing... on what looks like a grooming station of some sort? Three, as a matter of fact, and each station has crowds of groomers in uniform cooing over three different Raticate.]

[Seriously. They seem to love what should be a common pokemon. But that makes sense for those who spot the Superatte sign in the back hanging on the wall. Yes, there are stores and groomers dedicated purely to Rattata and Raticate, and, boy, do they sure seem to love their job! Cofgodas, the first of Dimitri's Raticate, is somehow even fluffier, which is a direct contrast to Hob, who looks... a lot more slick than most Raticate! Sometimes fur obeys gravity, who knew.]

[Once he's certain that the the camera is functioning, Dimitri speaks up.]

My companions and I finally arrived in Goldenrod, and I must admit... This is indeed an extremely large and dense city, with more things and places than I ever could have imagined. One of - [He audibly fumbles a bit.] - of the people I travel with showed me this place when they discovered it while daring to venture out, and they treat Rattata and Raticate extremely well...

Yet, despite its conveniences, our arrival has been... difficult. Is it... normal to be mistaken for different people of some fame, and be stalked by young women and men? Mostly women... And, has anyone else had paint thrown on them...?

[Dimitri, are you doing okay?]

[The answer is no, but that's why he's not showing his face on camera to reveal the dark circles which have started to become prominent under his eyes again.]

[Anyway.]

Also, I was hoping that I could receive some advice on the use of... TMs? I understand they allow knowledge of an attack that a Palien might not otherwise know, but I was hoping to hear of people's experiences with them, recommendations, and perhaps what their first TM was?

[Some of the Raticate groomers are starting to whisper, and it's just barely audible over the sound of brushing, and Cofgodas getting a pretty set of bows in her fur. Something like... "I'm telling you, I'm positive! That's definitely a member of TEXO! Look, I'll pull it up on my Gear, but anyone would recognize that eyepatch-"]

[Dimitri lets out what sounds like a death rattle, and just.... shuts off the video.]

[For anyone wandering around, they'll likely be able to find Dimitri at Superatte for a while... or, you know, the ever shifting but definitely present hoard of young adults (indeed, mostly women, but some men and other people too) that are definitely hanging near him. They're not yet swarming him.... but Dimitri's tired expression says that he's expecting this to happen eventually.]
