third splinter - video [goldenrod city]

[ well well, look who it is. the resident pointy-shades who hardly left a room for an entire month to focus on projects. dirk is wearing a protective jacket in similar appearance to this. he's surrounded by an unfortunate amount of rotoms that have taken up residence in various things. a toaster, a lamp, ...a microwave (why?). rotoms, guys, rotoms.

he put one in a very small pikabot, because dirk has no self-control and wanted to build a robot. it keeps pretending like it's going to electrocute him. he keeps putting a hand on its face and shoving it to the side. ]


Hey. [ he really shouldn't have chose video. the way he gives is a little awkward. ] Remember that idea John Egbert had back in October? Probably not. To refresh, it was poké-proof clothing for the trainers. For when your team has an asshole on it.

I figured it out. [ and then that pikabot he stuck a rotom in actually does electrocute him. he isn't harmed by it but he scowls slightly at the pokémon. ]

Fuck off, man. I wasn't doing a demonstration right now. [ there is a mechanical laughter coming from it in response. why did he built that thing? what is wrong with him? he pinches the bridge of his nose before continuing and making a one-handed gesture to the jacket he's wearing. ]

This is a prototype. I was testing it using my own roster. It's non-conductive, fire-retardant, water-proof and will protect the wearer against most low-level attacks. If your Meowth comes at you with claws or bites you, you should be okay. But I've kept the reinforcement to the vital points and there is limited resistance to a higher levels of fire-power in order to prevent a loss of comfort and mobility. If a Beedrill comes right at your inner-thigh with a stinger, you're probably shit out of luck and I may question your training technique for exposing your inner-thigh to a Beedrill.

It has a built in hood. [ that he's not going to put up. he's got good hair today. ] And small mask with goggles for poison or light protection. [ that, he'll hold up in front of his face before putting back down. ] There are matching pants. I'll be streamlining the design in the future. It currently comes in blue, black or hot pink.

If you want one, you can place an order with me. I'm currently broke and will require funds ahead of time for materials and to pay Egbert a portion for the creative rights.

John, come get your Nidoran suit. And if you know me, I owe you a Christmas gift.

Hehe, I knew you made it blue.

[John takes it and holds it up in front of him. It looks like it's about the right size.]

Uh, so does this go over my clothes, or should I go and change?
harlequinhater: (yeah this is my hood)

[personal profile] harlequinhater 2017-01-08 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
No, that's fine. I'm fine with staying non-naked.

[It takes John a few seconds to work out how to put the Poke-proof jacket on, but he soon slips it on and zips it up. He flips the hood up, too. John never has good hair; a hood can't mess it up any more.]

So how do I look?
harlequinhater: (smirk)

[personal profile] harlequinhater 2017-01-08 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[John holds his arms out so that Dirk can better see how it fits. He will be the best jacket model possible.]

Well, it feels pretty damn good too! This is super comfortable, seriously. You really outdid yourself. I bet that everybody is going to be clamoring to get their hands on one of these once word gets out.
harlequinhater: (time to think)

[John flips his hood down and runs a hand through his hair. He feels maybe a little self-conscious having Dirk stare at him so much. What if he doesn't like what he sees?

...On the jacket, obviously.]


I don't know, Dirk. It would be pretty hard to look cooler than this. I mean, it has a hood and everything!

[Clearly, hoods are the epitome of "cool" in Egbertian fashion.]

I guess pockets could be nice? But also, we carry around backpacks anyways. And I'm not sure I'd want anything valuable in a pocket of something I will be wearing when I'm doing some intensive Pokemon training.
