[Bad angles are nothing new from Millennial Tree Cookie’s rare video posts, but this one looks like it might straight-up have been an accident; the Gear seems to be lying on the ground, the view is partially blocked at first by black feathers and a glimpse of a bird’s foot, but when it’s clear--

Well, there’s Millennial Tree Cookie, sitting in a high-up tree branch… systematically rifling through his bag, pulling objects out, and… giving most a couple experimental chomps before dropping them on the ground. At least anything fragile he pulls out should be cushioned by the growing pile of clothing at the base of the tree.

There’s a ruffling of feathers, and Bitingbird - MT’s Toucannon, though he’s looking a lot calmer and more concerned than usual - makes a couple clumsy attempts at takeoff, as though intending to intervene, but… he’s having some trouble with the whole wings thing, it seems, and has to settle for… well, calling up to the person in the tree:] Please come down - you can’t fly right now, you could hurt yourself!

[“Millennial Tree Cookie” throws a bracelet at him.]

(( OOC: MT is around the area of Blackthorn, so anyone around there is free to run into this nonsense in person! ))

So, uh
What's up, everyone. Name's Rose.
Haven't really checked out this thing much but, y'know, desperate times and all that jazz

This is embarrassing but
I'm totally broke?

What do y'all do for money around here?
Aside from battling since that's not on the table

Back home, having funds wasn't really
a thing I had to worry about usually
I made enough to get by and that was fine

But here it's different
So, any advice would be appreciated

Not sure how long I can 'live off the land' like some kind of
feral woman but
It's been working out so far, I guess

Network Half
[There's a very tired looking Luxray being hugged by his trainer, who is currently burying his face into the fur of said Electric-type cat, muffled noises of excitement coming from the trainer. Until a couple of squawks from behind the 'gear jerks his attention back to the 'gear, which is being held by an equally tired Pidgeotto as Tooru smooths his messed up hair back into something presentable. Yet his childlike excitement is impossible to hide no matter how he tries to compose himself.

And then he flashes a shiny new Zephyr Badge up to the camera with a bright smile that definitely reaches his eyes, and then some.]

We did it, we beat the gym! Why didn't anyone tell me that getting badges would be THIS fun?

[Tooru just may have found something he loves as much as volleyball now, because he hasn't had that much fun in quite some time. He's going to end up getting even more competitive against these Gym Leaders, especially regarding the question he's now got.]

While I'm here, what's the difference between the regular and elite battles? What's so special about the elite ones?

[Obviously, he knows that something is different, but how different is another thing.]

[It was a very odd day wasn't it...right as Zuke was about to say something about it on the network...he felt a little weird.

Uh, oh...

...

The feed would click on with Zuke one it. But not your normal Zuke. This Zuke was wearing bright colored clothes and ripped jeans. A pair of shades and his hair was dyed with a red and yellow color.

What. In Arceus' name.

Anyway, he was going to start off by YELLING REALLY LOUD.]

HEY WHAT'S HAPPENING, YOU PUNKS? YOU ALL READY TO ROCK TONIGHT!! FREAKY STYLE! CALL IT THE COOLEST COLLAB YOU'LL EVER SEE! Except...ZUKE AND I TRADED PLACES!! I'M MAY AND HERE...DRUMROLL PLEASE, IS ZUKE!!

[Sure enough...in a friendly headlock, "Zuke" grabbed on to a Toxtricity that looked tired and just...empty headed as a noogie was given. Welp.]
