NEW LEGENDARY DISCOVERY [REAL][NOT CLICKBAIT][WHAT ARE THEY HIDING]

[A video on StaryuTube has gone viral within the last day. Posted by the official Legendary Seekers channel with the title NEW LEGENDARY DISCOVERY [REAL][NOT CLICKBAIT][WHAT ARE THEY HIDING], it seems to have generated all sorts of chatter on the network. Hmm....

The video opens with one of the lead legendary seekers, apparently unable to hide his enthusiasm. He stares straight into the camera, grinning widely. Apparently, this was a livestream VOD uploaded only a few short hours ago. His words come out all in one sentence with little variance in cadence, as if reading off a prompter.]


Hello, legendary seekers of the world! MynameisJacksonandI'm HERE-- [He points at the screen.] --to inform the world of an amazing NEW legendary with never-before seen footage and evidence gathered first hand by our intrepid field researchers! As you know, Kanto, Johto, and the Sevii Islands have been plagued by Orthworms over the past month, digging holes through buildings and the ground willy-nilly. It was, if I may under-exaggerate, a little disruptive to our day to day lives! But you know what else is disruptive? Having hackers invade your PC because you didn't protect it! That's why today's sponsor is--

[He pauses, squirming in his seat. Then, after a moment or two, throws his papers into the air and excitedly grabs the camera.]

Oh, screw the sponsor! Just roll the clip already!

Fifth Glow [Legendary Seekers Video]

[The camera... doesn't pick up much light at first. Looks like someone is underground, possibly in one of those new, definitely unstable tunnels.]

All right, it's fine, Allura. Just keep going with Water Pulse, keep a map, and you can get out. You have plenty of rations for just such a scenario...

[Chumirra the Azumarill takes a second from Water Pulsing with Tirlan the Quaquaval to give Allura a quick nuzzle. Echolocation can wait, it's important to give Trainer emotional support. Allura gives a soft sigh, but also a smile a a light ruffle between the blue ears.]

We'll be all right. Although I have sharp words for Shiro after this... [Another deep breath.] At least we aren't trapped, just... turned around.

[Aaand then she notices the light on the top of her gear is blinking.]

Is this broadcasting? [She'd tried at the start; maybe they have a good enough signal now.] Hello? Can anyone hear us?

Okay, I need to ask this, but people better not get all sappy.

Does anyone else ever have a hard time saying something more when you really mean it? Like it's harder for you to bring stuff up when it really matters, or it's really emotional? And if it is hard for you, how do you get around it?

Being sincere is harder for me, but that didn't bother me because I didn't think being sincere was very smart. But now, there's times I think it would be better.

It's not like I never mean anything I say, or anything weird like that! It's just that being really open about feelings feels kind of scary. Maybe that's dumb?
