Anyone got a recommendation for good batteries in this damn place?
[ the video feed opens not on jack's face, but on a hotel room desk. he's got several batteries that look like they could fit into a flashlight or other types of utilities sitting on the desk, spread out. the only other things visible are his scarred hands and most of his upper body, wearing a black shirt. the feed cuts off at the shoulder.
his skitty, crybaby, is also in the shot, gently batting at some of the smaller batteries. ]
Every single one of these has died after an hour of use, maybe. Some were dead when I put them in.
Back in my world, batteries actually lasted for a decent amount of time.
[ jack makes a scoffing noise and leans down out of sight of the camera to get something. meanwhile, the skitty on camera stiffens, and then wiggles, running across the screen to chase something, clattering some of the batteries.
... that something being a joltik, bouncing across the screen as crybaby chases it to the other side.
jack can be seen looking up, a flash of a scarred face and white hair. ]
What are you --
[ he reaches up to turn off the gear as he gets up after his skitty. ]

At least he's not there to see it.]
Relax, I'll pick up some bug spray on my way back.

No need, I've already caught him. Say hi to Gizmo.
[ and jack, like an asshole, lifts the little creature in his palm. it eyes the pokegear warily. ]
video
They're just gross and he doesn't need them touching his food.
In fact, he doesn't like anything touching his food. Bugs are just...better at making that happen. Little assholes...]
Seriously?
[SIGH.]
I mean, as long as it's just one...
video
Haven't seen any other ones, but you might wanna check your pack too.
[ gizmo clicks his mouth mandibles together. he was the only one! he didn't want anyone getting in on the delicious batteries. he waves one of his legs around, as if to tell them both this. ]
no subject
Listen. If there's anything crawling around in my crap, Martini would've eaten it by now.
[The confirmative cries of a deino can be heard in the background. Thankfully it's like Gizmo said, he was the only one.]
I dunno how the hell you went that long without noticing it, though. You could've had that thing since day one.
no subject
[ jack's just pointing out she's not exactly discerning in taste, here. the joltik bounces up and down. he'll fight her too!! ]
It was hanging out in my batteries, or deep in my bag. I wasn't going for those every ten seconds.
[ the joltik chirps again. it's been in his bag since violet. ]
