[zukeini]

[Those who knew Zuke's apartment in Azalea would recognize it as a janky video would click on. The camera was shaking on on the screen soon would show an EXTREME close up on Zuke's bandmate and shiny Toxtricity, May. May was completely frantic on screen, yelling obscenities in Pokespeak. Behind her, Terbangan the Rillaboom would reach for the camera and yelp something in Pokespeak too. He would grab the camera and go to the other side of the room.

Sitting in a chair was what looked like Zuke, but it was from behind. So his hair and clothes were all that were visible.

Nadia, the Gardevior, was usually calm but there was a shocked expression on her face.

A freaked out Galarian Linoone and a Slowbro would be on the very soft and modest bed, looking right at "Zuke".

Zuke would slowly turn his head and well...

In the camera.

Ya'll know what a Ditto face looked like. "Zuke" cocked his head at the camera. A panicked Toxtricity would take the Gear and, since she was the only one with decent typing fingers...]

Zuke gonettthis is here. This is nnnot Zuke.

[ZUKE WAS FINE. He told them he was going to the Farmer's Market real fast and he was still there. This "Zuke" came home for now. Zuke would return to react to this...soon enough.]

video: mareanie troubles

[ the feed cuts in to jinx and razor, slowly entering what some may recognize as the entrance of middle segment of the temple. though there's sunbeams peaking through, it must be around sunset as they walk in, taking in everything with the awestruck eyes of children seeing something truly magical. a peculiarly colored phantump hugs jinx's shoulders as they walk, and something is clearly carrying the gear for them since both of their hands are free- given the slight weaving bob, probably something flying... but whatever it is, it's trying to keep the camera steady. while jinx is watching the way the light reflects off the walls, the way the walls are built and crystals glow, razor has taken to hitting one of the crystals with a wooden sword, testing it on multiple levels, as wolf boys are wont to do as they move further into the temple and one of the branching rooms. a midday lycanroc is at razor's feet, jumping up a bit to try and catch the light reflections on the walls, while a boltund hovers near a deerling as they wander. ]

It's beautiful in here- I'm glad I brought another camera... Freesia, careful, you don't want to bump into anything.

[ unfortunately, the childlike wonder is quickly cut in as something hits the camera-ribombee, drawing out surprised and defensive noises from the kids. unfortunately, it's not enough- viewers can see something quite literally getting the drop on both of them, the phantump crying out in surprise and shock, and purple-tipped blue spikes can be seen in the camera's edge, before the screen darkens and only a harsh "Get back here!" and rough barking can be heard- the feed cuts to static, with occasional bursts of blurry, half-covered instances of life once more- a troupe of mareanies fleeing, the sounds of dog pokemon, a ribombee and a phantump- not to mention their trainers- giving chase and fighting as they run, traps setting off, before the gear gets dropped, skidding to a halt before a toxapex.

after some time, the screen blinks to life again. jinx looks thoroughly annoyed, and both teenagers have clearly been running for a while now, not to mention whatever battle just occurred... the camera is closer, so the gear must be in her hands, but it's easy to see razor behind her, as well as an unimpressed shiny trevenant- did it evolve? it sure did. and it seems of the trouble makers, at least one has warmed up to it's would-be victims, sitting on razor's leg as they're relaxing on the floor after the battle, humming cheerfully as he pets it. it sure is venomous! and he sure does not care! all the pokemon seem pretty satisfied with themselves, otherwise- including the lanturn jinx is leaning against. the ribombee seems pretty peeved, though. ]

I can't believe we got jumped by a bunch of starfish.

[ ooc; threadjacking may occur from jinx or razor! ]
