[ The video opens to the image of something completely engulfing the screen. It shifts through all seven colors of the rainbow in about four cycles.
Does that feel funny to stare at? It might. Are you tingly? Do you have a headache? Maybe your saturation settings are up too high.
Again, the colors move before being pried away from the 'gear forcibly by Mari. Don't mind him, it's just a Big Ol' Starmie. Her Big Ol' Starmie. Spinel's all grown up and he has apparently developed an affinity for trying to hypnotize people through the screen with his colors.
Feeling lightheaded or pukey may have resulted in staring for too long. ]
Gah-- Sorry!
Hey guys! Mari's getting ready to leave Celadon soon!! I saved up soooo much money working a ton of shifts at the Pokemon Center that I could get Spinel evolved into a Big Star! Haha~ Get it~?
So!! That brings me to this: While I was working at the Pokemon Center, I got to have a lot of free time to study my own Pokemon. I was scrolling through my 'dex, reading journals, and all sorts of stuff. It was pretty craaaaaaa~aaazy when I learned that Starmie and Staryu are not actually starfish! They're some kinda alien from outer space! They're always trying to contact something up there from the ocean floor with their gems.
It turns out that there are a lot of things we might gloss over when it comes to our own friends. If you dig a little deeper, you'll find that there is more to them than what you think!
Have you learned anything about your Pokemon that you hadn't thought of until after you had spent time with them or did some reading?
Ahhh~ Mari wants to be a Professor AND a Contest Coordinator someday! I never want to stop learning!! I could do it forever and eve--!
[ The feed suddenly begins to short out and Mari's voice glitches to nothing. After a five seconds of silence, the 'gear is filled with Spinel's gem again... Shifting and shifting through the colors. It abruptly cuts in some static, ending the transmission entirely.
If you tune in later at night-- say 2am --and happen to run across Mari's feed being active again, you will find the same shifting pattern of colors cycling and cycling nonstop for roughly an hour. A sound that isn't quite a voice thrums at the back of your brain or at the base of your spine, causing some real negative ASMR situations. You might want to turn it off or change the channel as quickly as possible. Are your Pokemon put off because of it? Is something FISHY going on?
Hm. ]
ooc: A weird spooky goofball post from me! Have your character reply whenever they'd like and how ever they would like. If they spotted the GOOFINESS Spinel was up to overnight or their Pokemon had a problem, Mari is completely oblivious to her starter getting a hold of her 'gear and trying to scare everyone.
I know I fell off the planet last month but if you have me on Plurk, you'll know why. I started a job and have some stressful IRL things going on rn. Consider this my formal apology and if anyone needs anything, contact me here! Thanks for your patience! ))

[Video]
Behind her looms Bahamut the Mimikyu, his eyes glowing purple as a thin, wispy black appendage reaches out towards the screen, hovering there just in case.]
You're tricks will not work. Be gone, demon!
no subject
Spinel reads the tone put before him and his gem glimmers, shifting to what looks like a mess of cool-toned galaxy like colors for a second. ]
There are no tricks.
Just speak.
Let me learn.
[ Learn about what?
He refuses to move and the next thing we know, Mari's voice is being sleepily heard from where she is resting on the bed. ]
Heeeeey... I didn't leave that on... [ Spinel stops his bullshit immediately and flops out of video while his Trainer crawls to pick up her gear. She is dressed in Mimikyu jammies and is all bleary-eyed. ]
Huh? Is everything alright, little guys...?
no subject
Why would we teach you anything?
[She doesn't get her answer though and as soon as Mari comes into view Sierra is relaxed, ears perked forward and her head tilted slightly. Bahamut bobs back and forth behind her and while his eyes are still glowing purple it's softer now and he looks like a cute little ghost. See how cute he is?]
All is fine, child. Beware of demons and you will be fine.
[...Sorry, Mari.]
no subject
Is she hearing shit now too? ]
What're you doing up so late, huh?
no subject
Protecting the world until the Fire comes. You are in danger, girl. Strange stars haunt you.
[The Vulpix's ears go back and the Mimikyu behind her seems to shudder, his eyes glowing brighter.]
Beware the stars!
no subject
Beware the stars? Stars are my favorite. They're my trademark and everything. So shiii~iiiiny~
Are you trying to tell my fortune or something?
no subject
[Behind the Vulpix, the Mimikyu's eyes glow brighter before it draws it's hand back underneath it's disguise and hunkers down behind it's mistress. Said fox's tails stop swaying and her ears perk forward.]
Beware the Stars and where they come from. Trust nothing that hails from the cosmos!
[Mari. Mari just shut the 'gear off. Don't indulge this insane creature.]
no subject
[ Here comes two Raichus; one is the 'Kanto' variety, sharp and clearly electrified. She flexed to Mari, showing off her physique. But the other is an Alolan Raichu, with much softer angles and a way more chill look about him. Also he was floating on his tail, what the fu- ]
Here they are! This is An Tintreach; she's a 'kanto' Raichu, pure Electric type. And this is Holokai; he's an 'alola' Raichu, which are Electric and psychic types!
no subject
I love your Raichu! I read about the differences in some species of Pokemon based on their region! Like Riko-- [ Who she pardons herself to release from the ball. A gorgeous Alolan Ninetales with the most luxurious coat anyone could ask for. ] Riko's an Alolan Ninetales. She's the total opposite of the Fire-type ones you see everywhere else.
[ Riko nuzzles her face into her Trainer's leg. ]
Hey! Maybe I can tell you a little something about your Pokemon if I search around in my 'dex here. I can be your own personal encyclopedia~
no subject
Oh man, if ya want to! I usually just go with the flow and let em surprise me...okay let's see here.... [ As he pondered, a very tiny Joltik ran up his arm, up to his shoulder. From there it spotted Mari and perked up, waving to her with a leg. Hi! Ash noticed and beamed at it adoringly. ]
Leanbh! How you doing Leanbh? [ Yeah, he's cooing to his teeny tiny spider in Irish. The Joltik was delighted, especially as Ash pet him with a finger. He turned to Mari, snapping out of his 'too-close-to-adorable-spider' moment. ]
Ah, how about this precious little guy? He's a Joltik!
no subject
I keep seeing those everywhere with people!! I want one pretty bad--! I haven't heard such cuddly things about their evolution though, haha.
So, I have a question. How do you, like, find the other variants of Pokemon? Do they just pop up?
I'm super curious about the Marowak variants.
no subject
Oh, so from what I've heard it's something to do with the Sevii Islands. The different climate out there changes some Pokemon to evolve differently, or to just be different, like the Vulpixes.
I dunno what the Marowak variant is like; I've only ever seen a Cubone. And I only realised it happened when I evolved Holokai out there. I thought he was gonna be the same as An Tintreach.
no subject
no subject
Maybe there's an army of them over the planet.
[ GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSP ]
And that's why they can't breed like normal Pokemon!
Oh, man... Do you have one too?
no subject
Just wasn't expecting weird alien stuff to pop up here, you know?
no subject
no subject
I'm not sure why I'm ever even surprised anymore when my starter can literally transform into whatever it feels like, but here we are.
no subject
[ She taps her chin. ]
You don't have any spare Ditto jigglin' around, do you?
no subject
...Nnnnnno, just the one? Uh. Why?
no subject
[ Her lips sink into a frown and are her eyes getting teary on purpose? They sure are. ]
Ah, that's okay...
no subject
[Oh.]
I mean, um. Well, of course I can't exactly give out my starter, but do you uh... want to... borrow them?
no subject
Sorry if that came on a little strong.
no subject
I'm just an anxious person in general, don't, ah... don't mind me.
