victory_road | Video/Action for New Bark Town

[The video opens to an excited teenage girl sitting on the ground just outside “Mom”’s house. She’s twirling a blue piece of fabric that was her mask that match her godly pjs in her free hand and a skitty chases after it.]
OMG, isn’t this the most adorable pokémon you have ever fucking seen? Is this the universe we created? Because lbr, this is exactly the type of pokémon I would think up. And I don’t remember it from the original games or show. Is the goal really to become the very best, like no one ever was? [Guess who loved pokémon as a child. Just be happy she isn’t singing.]

[But now on to less exciting questions.]

The mom part was fucking bizarre. She was super nice and packed me a bag and lunch. But then she locked me out of the house.Is that normal maternal behavior? Because I’m pretty sure it isn’t.
[A brief pause and frown. The skitty promptly attacks her fingers and she smiles. She seems to be speaking more to herself or the cat than the pokégear.] I hope my friends answer this quickly. [If they’re even here...but that’s a problem she will deal with when she gets to it.] Or at least someone more helpful than the NPC chilling in this town. Not that they aren’t nice. [But like the chess people who surrounded her growing up, they made her feel lonely.] Gastrell the Munificent and I have poké-adventures we need to get up to. [Really excited with a broad smile aimed at Gastrell the Skitty.] This is so much better than the last video game I entered. [Not that that’s a particularly high standard.]

[...There's so many things being said in this video that Rakka can only parse, try to understand. And it's all peaking her curiosity, which means something. And she's almost afraid to ask.]

H-hi! Um, [little wave. Remember your manners, Rakka.] Did you say something about a video game?

[Roxy's pretty open, if she mentioned it Rakka can probably ask.]

Yep. This is my second reality altering video game experience. Already it has far surpassed the last one. Zero of ten, would not recommend playing that one. This is at least a seven so far. Prolly an eight or nine.

[Thank you, Roxy, because this is kind of weighing on her, and that answer isn't helping. Hoo boy.]

A-a video game that can do... what? [She's so clearly confused but she shakes her head. this is sealing the deal in her mind. Now, hopefully she's not going to sound stupid...!]

Uh, so... do you know some one named "Dave" then?

Alter reality? Or are you asking what the point of the game was? [Are you asking about Homestuck?]

I'm totes assuming you mean Dave Strider and yes I do.

[She may be, possibly, asking about Homestuck. It's the hottest subject among her friends that they would definitely want to avoid talking about.]

Yes! I am! [:D] So, you have to be one of Dave's friends!

[Well, hope you're ready for all the shit they don't talk about.]

We created a new universe...and sorta destroyed...three I think. That was more of side effect than the point.

I don't know Dave that well, but we're...friends. And family.

[.......... goody....!]

I... I-I knew about the one, but, uh, did you say three?

[But wait!! !!]

You're family too? that's great!

I'm not actually sure. I think the trolls was one, Dave's was another, and mine was another one, but they connected. Somehow.

I'm not sure he actually knows me. [If she knows Dave, she probably knows time bullshit, right.] But yeah, we're family.

[Was there anything she actually expected in that statement? No, not really.]

O-oh. Alright. That makes sense....

[Somehow, she's sure.]

Well, have you introduced yourself yet? He should be around here somewhere.

[Snort. Roxy doesn't know the story and she knows she doesn't know, so she really doubts her explanation helped but whatever.]

No, he hasn't replied to this. I'll contact him later if he doesn't. He might know me, but... [What if the connection isn't there?]

Might?

[Hmm... Aah. Always some time to be optimistic isn't there.]

Then... you might just have to introduce yourself again! That's easy enough. Dave's always been easy to get along with.
