[Video] 1/28 - So pretty and witty and --

[brokencode]

[When Angel's gear clicks to life, it focuses in on a singular blue eye. Many of Angel's friends might know that she has some strikingly wide and innocent baby blues going on but... somehow they manage to be even wider and more expressive. They practically glimmer what can only be described as a distinctly anime effect.]

Hiiee~ [Angel leans back, cocking her head to the side. Her limbs... look a little odd. They're held out limply, almost noodle like. They move about as she continues to speak, just a touch too expressive.]

It's so good to see everyone! I missed you talking to -- No, no! [She lifts a hand to her mouth, looking almost coy as she giggles.] I missed talking to you! It really has been too long!

[She leans in, head cocking to the side.]

Since I'm here, though! I have a question! [It tilts to the other side, while her loose limbs circle over her head, forming a little heart.]

Do you think I'm pretty? [She wiggles.] I think I'm pretty. [And bounces.] What about you? [And finally outright chirps!

... Unfortunately, her rather sporadic motions knock her camera by the wayside. For a moment, the feed goes topsy-turvy, spinning about rather nauseatingly before going entirely out of focus. When it finally does manage to catch something, it's the expression of a Sylveon that can only be described as absolutely horrified.

Oh boy.]

[video/action] 1/28 - It's not easy being green!

[ Crookedkit has never touched the network before. In truth, it's a wonder he hasn't lost his Gear, considering he had no clue what it was and what explanation he was able to get only confused him even more about it. When the chips are down, though, one thing he always keeps in mind best is how to get help. And right now, gauging by the utter misery all over the face of the sparkling green Rattata that appears on-screen, that's exactly what he needs right now. ]

[ His voice is familiar to those who've spoken to him, at least as much as it can be when it's choked with sobs and tears, though the lisp he has now is not only different but much more obtrusive than before. A Rattata body may be mostly familiar to his most familiar one, but those huge incisors are an even bigger challenge for Crookedkit than his broken jaw ever was. ]

[ He appears to be hiding inside a hollow log of some kind, with rays of winter sun shining down on him through cracks and holes in the rotting wood. His cheek fur is streaked with tears and a smaller pokemon - Frecklepaw the Skwovet - is pressed close next to him and doing her best to give warmth and comfort with her big fluffy tail. ]

This is all wrong!! [ His cries are loud and hoarse, enough that anyone in this area of Viridian Forest will likely hear him. ] I'm not a Twoleg, I'm not a Rattata, I'm a cat! A RiverClan cat!!

[ Wait, no, complaining isn't why he got so desperate that he learned to use the network. He shakes his head sharply with his eyes squeezed shut in some effort to force his fear away. ] N-Never mind, what's important is that the Twoleg kit that looks like me isn't me! He just ran away this morning and I'm trying to follow him but he's really fast!

( Meanwhile... )

[Video] One of these things is not like the other

[The feed clicks on to...wait...is that...Hermione? Girl, you look a little different. Hermione (?) tosses her unruly hair over a shoulder, and grins at the camera.]

Heeeeey there. So I'm looking to get a tattoo. A really cool tattoo. Like the coolest of cool tattoos. On my back. Of me. I mean....my Mismagius. Because she's like, the best pokemon ever, and I love her so much. Go Team Umbra!

Yeah so back to the tattoo. Can anyone...what's that phrase you strange people use? ...Do me a solid? What does that even mean??

ANYWAY yeah, can anyone [Hermione raises her fingers to do airquotes] 'do me a solid' and hit me up with a tattoo artist? A good one, not a crappy one.

Oh! And some piercings! What's the best place to get a piercing? That random hole in your stomach seems like a good place to get one.

[In the background, you may catch a glimpse of an upside down Mismagius floating past the camera, flailing wildly and yelling something at "Hermione" that sounds too muffled and ghostly to understand.]

SILENCE

Shut up! Shut up shut up!

_{[It doesn't matter if you were talking at a perfectly acceptable volume outside with your friends or quietly talking on your phone. There is now a squat little Psyduck waddling up to you with its paws over its ears barking curses at you. Someone has only just discovered his partner Pokemon has perpetual headaches.]}

Will you just be quiet! I can't hear myself think! Damn!

_{[His eyes begin to glow, the tell-tale sign of a Psyduck getting ready to use Psychic.]}


ACHEY BREAKY HEAD

<sub>[The park is the only place JW has found solace today. His (or rather Psyduck's) head is pounding and he's started to have little psychic power outbursts which included flipping someone's truck and exploding the windows of a music shop. Now he's sitting under a tree groaning to himself, his head swaying back and forth as he tries to soothe it.]

[Boom. Boom. BOOM.]

[That is how it feels. It's so hard to focus on anything. If he uses Psychic and lifts up the rocks around him and flings them away, it gets better--but only for a moment. And there are only so many benches he can send tumbling into the pond before the park attendants are going to notice him and do something about it.]</sub>

Ooouuugghhhh make it stoooooop.
