001 ♟ audio/video

[secondhandsome]

[There's no video for this broadcast, just audio. Well. There's background noise, anyway, for a few seconds. Then someone awkwardly clears his throat.]

Um, is this... working? [Huh, funny. Isn't that voice familiar? The tone's a little off, but the sound of it's definitely the same as that Jack guy, right?] How... How do I know if it's...

Oh! Wait, the light's on, that probably means people are listening and... hearing me talk to myself... like an idiot. Great. Cool.

[...He quickly clears his throat. Right, yeah, let's not keep talking to himself like a moron, that's no way to make a first impression.]

I mean. Hello there, youuuuu, ah, lovely... people. Oh god, that was terrible. This is... Jack. Handsome Jack. That's... me. In the flesh. I mean, not that you can see that, but--

Just. Just got a quick question. I... These Pokémon things, they're supposed to be like... animals, right? Um. I'm just gonna turn on the video for this, one sec... [And then the video feed clicks on, showing off one very excited Ditto, smiling right at the camera.] So... Seriously, what the hell is up with this thing? This is just... I don't even know. Someone used some jello for a science class and something went wrong or whatever? It's kinda freaking me out a little...

[The Ditto doesn't seem bothered being talked about like this, still looking as happy as can be.]

I... don't really know what to do with it. Do I like... feed it? Does it eat? It doesn't look like it eats, but... don't wanna kill it by mistake.

Yotsuba likes all the colors.

Well, be careful. There's a lot of wild pokemon in the grass. They'll eat your food!

[secondhandsome]

[Oh god this kid is kind of adorable.]

Ha, well, colors are pretty great.

Oh, yeah? Well hey, that's good to know. Definitely don't want to starve out there. Uh... they don't get too big and dangerous out there, right?

[4leafhair]

They're mostly small. Like the size of a loaf of bread or a beach ball. But some are the size of a big dog, and some might be even bigger!

[She's never seen a gyarados or an onix, so she doesn't really have much comprehension on how huge these things can get. However, just the idea of a pokemon big enough to ride on is exciting, and her voice picks up the pace, that energy clearly coming through on the pokegear.]

Maybe there's even one the size of an elephant!

[secondhandsome]

Uh, jeez... Size of a dog... That might actually be worrying. Guess I better keep an eye out for that. But smaller than that, well, I should be able to handle that.

[Or, y'know. Athena can handle it, because that's who he's gonna be sticking with.]

That big might get a little scary, though, don't you think?

[Ha ha, there's no way anything here gets that big though, right? Right. Yeah.]

[4leafhair]

The wild ones are usually little, though. I've only seen a big one with Snake.

[Suddenly she has a brilliant idea.]

You wanna see my pokemon? Yotsuba thinks this thing has a camera!

[secondhandsome]

Uh... Yeah, alright, sure. Let's have a look.

[Might as well find out what else is out there.]

[Audio>Video]

[4leafhair]

[There are some fumbling noises before the camera flickers on, revealing... Yotsuba's face, green hair and all. She breaks into a grin so wide it might be off her face.]

I think it's on now!

[She takes a moment to lean back before extending a GIANT BUG towards the camera.]

This is Cicada-chan! She's a ninja cicada!

[secondhandsome]

Whoa!

[ALRIGHT THAT SURE IS A BUG, WELP]

Uh... Wow. Alright. She looks... friendly?

Kinda like a Tork, except less... murder-y.
