victory_road | [Video]

[The video coming on is somewhat accidental. Whoever is fumbling with it was clearly trying to get it out of wherever it was--a pocket? A bag?--and they must have flipped it on in the process. After a few seconds they manage to get it out of wherever it was stuck and the video goes a bit crazy as the ‘gear clatters to the ground.

A soft glow illuminates the room briefly as a Minior comes into view, the red little star Pokemon smiling dumbly at the screen before it’s suddenly grabbed--well, more like hugged, actually, as a little girl comes into view.]

Did it break, Little Dipper? Oh, hey, I think it’s recording--hi everyone that can see this!!

[Mabel grins and picks her ‘gear up with her free hand, her Minior currently tucked underneath her other arm and looking rather pleased about it.]

I’m Mabel and this is Little Dipper! Oh and this is my brother Dipper!

[Cue her turning the camera on her brother.]

Dipper say hi!

[There’s a boy in the background, with a Phantump floating next to him. They seem to be studying where they are. At least they were, before Dipper turns to see the gear pointed at him.]

Mabel! What are you doing? No one needs to see this!

Don’t be such a spoilsport, Dipper! It’s just a new adventure!

[Under her arm, Little Dipper thrummed though whether it was in agreement or just because he could was hard to say.]

Plus we can’t be the first people to end up here…

[By now it should be clear that they are in a jail cell. Dipper folds his arms]

For trying to steal an old ladies kittens? Or should I say, accessory to SOMEONE trying to make off with a bunch of kittens?

If you had helped we totally could have gotten away but noooo!

You shouldn’t have been doing it in the first place! Now we have to break out of jail! ...uh...ignore that last part people ….. I meant serve our time….

[Whispers to Mabel.]

I really think you should stop broadcasting this now….

[Insert a snort from Mabel as she turns the ‘gear back on herself properly and playfully rolls her eyes.]

Don’t mind him! He’s just nervous because the Jenny ladies said we have to stay here for a few days. Anyway, maybe someone out there watching knows how we can get out of here, Dipper! Did you ever think of that??

[Cue her sticking her tongue out as Little Dipper thrums again.]

Yeah and their advice is probably going to be, you got arrested, do your time.

[Meanwhile his own pokemon is examining the bars and lock. Dipper is just going to move to hide the pokemon from the view of the gear.]

Maybe, maybe not! Only one way to find out! [A pause as she looks over at them and narrows her eyes, slowly grinning.] What’s Crafty doing?

Uh...nothing...nothing...just um looking around! Right Crafty?

[The Phantump looks over and nods...very normal]

...You two are trying to break out aren’t you??

Mabel turn the gear off!

Oh you are so going to break us out of here! Go Crafty go! You can do it!

Mabel!

[There is a sudden child scramble for the gear and in the chaos it gets turned off.]

[ooc: replies will be from both Dipper and Mabel. Threadjacking is a possibility.]

Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh I get to play MATCHMAKER!!!!

[Mabel dissolves into squeals, spinning around with Little Dipper hugged close. Excuse the video while it goes wonky, Sasha.]

Oh man this is going to be so much fun!

But you have to feed them all! Don't forget Pokemon have to eat too!

[Be a responsible backyard breeder, Mabel.]

Right! I'll feed them and make them all sweaters and love each and every one of them!

Sweaters? I never thought of putting my Pokemon in sweaters, but I do know how to knit...

You can knit too? We should knit sweaters together! Then we can knit them for your Pokemon so they can be fashionable and warm!

I can knit and sew and crochet!

You think my Sherbert would like a sweater? She's an ice Pokemon but she's still a baby so maybe she gets cold.

[Mabel's eyes practically sparkle.]

You and I are going to get along great!

[So. Many. Crafts.]

Of course! Who doesn't like sweaters! Babies especially need sweaters because--[Snorts]--come on, babies can't really do much to keep themselves warm.

My Pichu could use a hat too! With holes for his ears cut out. And a scarf for my Sylveon!

[Mareep farmers, be advised: demand will soongo up and supply will react in kind.]

You know what I'm thinking?

[Sasha glances from side to side, wondering if Mabel actually expects an answer.]

No, because I can't read minds.

[Oh, Sasha, sweetheart.]

[Mabel giggles, smile widening before she throws her arms out wide.]

CRAFTING PARTY!

YEAH, CRAFTING PARTY!

[Wait a minute...]

What are we going to do at a crafting party?

Make crafts of course! We can make sweaters for all our Pokemon and stuff for ourselves and I'm definitely going to need make this backpack that lady who called herself my mom gave me look better because it's really boring.

[Sasha glances down at her backpack down on the floor. Well, it does look pretty... functional. Functional is good, right? Sure, if you had rules to abide by, but she doesn't have any rules about bags here...]

Mine is boring too. What should I put on it?

Things you like! Rainbows, unicorns, GLITTER--anything! We can make it look amazing!
