Video - September 6th

[Hank plants his Pokegear in front of him on his desk.]

I put together some more missing cases. These are the ones I can't get to, but I'm pretty sure are easily solvable if you have a pretty attentive flying pokemon or something with Odor Sleuth and are close by.

[He turns up a card with a bunch of article snippets pasted to it, held pretty evenly in front of the Pokegear so that all of them can clearly be seen.]
the card )
[And after holding it up long enough for someone to easily go back and pause on if they wanted to, he puts it down on the desk and looks blandly off to the side.]

And now for the not-family-friendly bit. I need to have a fuckin' drink with someone. I mean as drunk as you can get in fuckin' magic pokeland drunk. I'd planned to spend a quiet day in but I just wanna get out.

[Today is his birthday, but that part he doesn't want to say out loud, because he feels old enough.] Anyone willin' to give me the time, this is where I'll be. [He shows another card, this one with the address of a Goldenrod bar.] See you there. I'll get back to this later.

[Probably with a hangover.]


Action - September 6th

[Hank sidles into the bar of his particular choosing, hauls himself up onto a stool with an exceptional amount of weight on his shoulders today, and motions to the space in front of him as he speaks to the bartender.]

Bottle of whiskey. Whole bottle. And a glass. Cheap, dirty. Nothing good. Don't worry, worst case scenario I have an Arcanine that can drive me home.

[He should probably spoil himself but, eh. As he discussed recently? It all goes to the same place. If anyone shows up? He'll be settled in drinking. Idly he wonders if anyone ever found that fucking Jigglyperp.]

[ If one looks closely at the video, one might see evidence of the beak currently holding the camera as Arlert is attempting to film this for posterity. Annie is riding an unfamiliar Flygon, one with a banner on its side visible behind her knee. Annie is wearing goggles and a backpack. The savvy will realise it's straps and the rest heavily imply it's... a parachute. ]

Arlert, I told you it was going to be fine.

[ Annie says, glancing back toward the Hoothoot in question, but all it seems to be is her looking at the camera, while Arlert has apparently been flying alongside Annie this whole time. One might wonder who her jump instructor is... until one realises........... it's the Flygon.

On a called out trill, Annie and the Flygon go into a roll, Annie falling from the Flygon's back and spreading her arms out to her sides. The Flygon does the same, leading from lower down, and Arlert follows after hovering higher above for a heartbeat.

The falling seems to go on for a while, and then the Flygon calls out another trill, different this time, and Annie pulls the release, jerked back as far as the camera sees as her chute deploys and she's left floating in the air, the Flygon wearing their "Skydiving Instructor" banner and Arlert now lower down, circling below, until they catch a thermal and glide on closer to Annie once again. She turns her head, smiles at Arlert (at the camera), for once in her life apparently unguarded.
]

Peaceful after the fall.

[ And she wonders if that's not the best her life is ever going to give, anyway. ]

I want to ask--how many of you believe that aliens exist?

I am trying to prove a point to one of my partners who keeps trying to show me so-called "evidence" that extraterrestrials exist in this dimension.

This is never an easy question to ask anyone. But it needs to be done.


Can anyone tell me if they found one of Jean Kirschtein's pokemon found their way to their box?

And

Has anyone seen his coffee shop? The boxcar that... moved around on its own.

Thanks.

[Drifter's been keeping himself pretty well kept, lately. Decent clothes, clean, etc, because he doesn't have to sleep in Hydra corpses and live off Legionary meat in the far reaches of the solar system. But today Drifter is looking more like his true self, and he's covered in grease from working on his projects, wearing jeans and a denim jacket and a diamond print button-up shirt that almost looks like reptile scales.]

[He's not in his bar, he's in his rented room/lab space, where he has armor for five body types half-assembled and maps pinned on the wall and even a type chart bulletin board complete with deranged yarn patterns.]

[He makes a frantic motion at the camera when he turns it on.]

Alright! So, here's my plan.

Each month there'd be a 'disadvantage' type. The main combatants that gotta face all the challenges, right? Now, do people prefer races? Obstacle courses? Last man standing? Collect and conquer...

[His strangely blue-gray eyes go wide as he's thinking about that.]

Hunter-Prey. Just got it. Strong type advantage has to chase down three or four disadvantage types. Ninety percent stealth oriented.

[He shakes a finger.]

Alright, alright, alright. I can make that work.

[Guess who is striking a pose in front of his house in Sevii Islands? That's right, it's Shiro. Sporting his usual beach attire of a horrible, loud, Alolan shirt. But hey! At least he looks well-rested and happy, right? His Umbreon sits at his feet, waving her tail for the camera.]

Hey, so, we've got a lot to celebrate in this house, coming up. A couple birthdays, at least one arrival anniversary...

I don't know who remembers last year, when our house hosted a bonfire party. But, looking at the calendar, I think we're due for another one. We live on the beach, we're out in Sevii, we might as well make use of the space, right?

I'm thinking next weekend. We'll make a real party out of it -- fire, food, music. That kind of thing.

[There's a pause, and his Umbreon regards him with the most skeptical look an Umbreon can possibly give a man.]

... don't worry, I won't be the one cooking.

So, what do you all say? You in?

Hello everyone!

I'm going to be tackling my very first Gym at the end of the week and I was wondering if anyone has tips for the one in Ecruteak?

I've only ever battled trainers I meet in town and on the roads, but it's very important I get the Fog Badge.

[Her whole summer depends on it!]

But my team and I are very excited, and any advice would be very appreciated. Once we get the badge, I'm going on my first human vacation!

[personal profile] castlethrasher
fuck how do you. hold on... wait. i think i got it—

[The video begins shakily as someone off-screen fumbles with their PokeGear, but is eventually corrected. Once properly focused, viewers are greeted with a rather odd incredibly cool-looking girl and a tiny shark gremlin relaxing in a mud bath.

Her face is heavily obscured by two things: a large mass of bushy, dark purple hair; and a ridiculous-looking super dope mask. There are a few differences though—the scaly pattern is purple in color, and the teeth are yellow instead of red. There appears to be a zipper along the front, hidden in the fabric. The only part of her face that's really visible are two piercing, amber eyes.]


'sup.

So I, uh. Wasn't planning on posting anything since I figured I'd be out of here by now. But since it's been a week and I'm still stuck in "Johto" or whatever, I figured I'd at least say hey, I guess.

And yeah, I know it's been a week and I'm still in Cherrygrove. Kiss my ass. I've been hanging out for a while. It's chill here.

[In actuality, she'd visited the Pokemon Center, then tried to book it to Violet City. She realized quickly though that she was in over her head (especially with only one Pokemon that wasn't in a shell) and made her way back to Cherrygrove to figure out what to do next. The spa she'd passed up the first time through would probably be a good place to figure it out.]

When I do yeet out of here tho, I'd like to have more than just one Pokemon with me. Might be a good idea. [She turns to her Gible and pats it on the head.] Don't worry about it little guy. Y'did great.

Ssssooooo........anybody know when these are supposed to hatch? [She motions toward the eggs resting on on the edge of the bath.] They've been shakin' around 'n' shit, but nothing's really—

[With just about perfect timing, one of the eggs starts to shake. Then it starts shaking a bit faster. And then,

it shakes itself off the edge, and into the mud.]


FUCK

[She reaches for the egg quickly, only to recoil when a bright light smashes the egg apart from the inside.

When the light fades, viewers can see her amber eyes twinkling in awe as she gazes upon a small, red sword.]


Red Buster.....

[It's not really clear what exactly her quiet whisper means, but she snaps out of it quickly and faces the camera.]


SO UHHHH.....THIS IS SICK AS HELL

This one looks different than what I saw in the egg catalog—is that okay?? Did I fuck up iS THIS BECAUSE I DROPPED IT IN MUD

[She doesn't seem like she's usually the emotive type, but right now she looks equal parts real worried and absolutely ecstatic.]

[The video feed opens on what appears to be a confused looking Houndour that's obscured by a thumb covering half the camera. Honestly, it's pretty clear that whoever's doing the filming doesn't do a whole lot of selfies and all that jazz.]

This thing even on? ]

[Have two loud thumping noises as Keith taps the mic with his fingers.]

Okay. Don't know what's going on here. But I'm trying to get back inside to get this lady to answer some damn questions--

[The camera's moving away from the Houndour and now focusing on what looks like "mom's" house in New Bark Town.]

And this ,,,Houndour [??? readily audible as his voice goes up at the end.] -- doesn't seem to get how to use tackle. C'mon buddy it's like this.

[BLURRY MOVEMENTS followed by a hard thump against the door. There's a loud sigh as the feed settles again. This time Keith turns the camera to show his exasperated looking face.]

All the dogs here like this?

[ACTION: ROUTE 38, 4AM | HARALD]
Closed Prompt in Here )
[VIDEO | STILL A BIT AFTER 4AM...]

[The occasional 'yawn' can be heard from behind the pokegear camera, and Carly is certainly not the source. Instead she's excitedly on screen, raincoat-over-nightclothes, crouched on the ground before a semi-violently shaking egg.] It... The second one is hatching..! I got three eggs, and I couldn't film the other one but now we can-

[It shakes. A chip flies free. And with a brilliant glow that threatens to wash out the entire screen...

'Explodes', more or less, the way all evolutions and such seem to go. And what's left behind is..!

Hm,
]

HEHHH!! [That's a fish. A fish that, after shaking off the mild shock of hatching, is apparently just righting itself with no problem. Just, you know, a fish out of water. Nothing to see he-

Carly grabs the fish about two seconds after getting over her shock.
] Y- Y-

You can just stand up like that?! Really?? If I'd known you were going to be a fish I would have had more water, we're in the middle of the woods you know, you're doing something incredible here..!

[It's hard to tell with its lazy eyes, but Feebas seems thrilled about this praise coming immediately toward it!

Carly, still holding the fish like a prize from the heavens, turns to the camera.
] These guys are really strong for just coming out of eggs huh..!

[ The video opens from an angle, filming what looks like a film crew and a man wearing a very large cravat talking with Annie. Both faces can be seen from the side. ]

So get this, [ he says, lifting his hands. ] you start out by seeing everyone's bare feet—

[ Annie stares at him, unblinking. The man's smile fixes in place, and he continues on. ]

[Just a disembodied voice.

The drawl really sells the extra enunciation.
]

Does anyone have a horse.

Cutting to the chase: I've been running around in picturesque nature, getting that fresh air for about eight solid hours and all I'm seeing is bugs and small birds, plants with faces. Lots of little mammals. Real beginner garbage stuff. Which makes sense, seeing as I'm at the beginning of this game. But I'm not going to pick something up and train it all the way to its no-doubt underwhelming final form and discover it needs replacing like two days from now. Or two weeks from now. Or two months from now. Or whatever. I don't know how long this game is or its scaling.

Don't care either.

If I'm going to be here, I at least want a horse.

[Those are his terms. He'll figure out the rest as he goes.]
forsaintcecilia: (that's not quite correct...)

Well, uh... This was kinda unexpected.

[Kazuki lifted his fist to his mouth and cleared his throat. He looked a bit bashful about something.]

Maestra, my Furret, showed up in the backyard with a clutch of eggs the other day. Four of 'em! I asked my Pokemon if they knew who the father was, but none of them did, so I just assumed she found a boyfriend out in the wild or something. Which is fine! And she wanted to hatch the eggs herself, so I let her. I figured maybe she found another Furret she liked, but, uh...

[Kazuki turned his camera around to a rather comical sight. In the yard, three little Sentret were bouncing about and running around like baby Pokemon do. And in the center of their furry tornado, was an...]

[...An Absol? It was kind of small, indicating that it was young, but otherwise, it was definitely an Absol. Huge claws, menacing horn, lithe build... It sat in the middle of the gamboling Sentrets with a look of aloof indifference on its face. They climbed all over it, pulled on its tail and gnawed on its horn, but it gave no sign of interest in their play. It stared dully into the space in front of it and heaved a put-upon sigh that ruffled the part of its mane that fell in front of its face.]


I had no idea Furrets could have eggs with Absols.

[No one would fault you for it, Kazuki. Furret was a round, soft coil of fluffy snuggliness, and Absol was angles at every joint, with plenty of pointy parts that it wasn't afraid to use if it felt like it.]

Sorry, Annie. I didn't know Maestra was interested in Lute. Uh... Does anyone want to adopt a Sentret? Free to a good home?

ooc: [Kazuki is keeping the Absol, but the three Sentrets are up for adoption. They each know the following moves: Scratch, Foresight, Pursuit, and Slash.]

hhhhhhhey uh probably a weird question but i think the egg i got from those dudes in exchange for those pictures from the big cruise is|

i think it went bad or something cause it finally hatched and i dont think dogs are supposed to be... you know.


[Attached is a picture of a blue Rockruff with a white muzzle and white paws, standing triumphantly over what looks to be the tailfin of a Gyarados.

did i mess something up?? cuz the first egg i had hatched suuuuuper quick and the turtle came out looking like the ones i saw on tv and junk but this funky little dude has been in that egg for ages. he didnt like

overcook in there did he?





also did anyone lose a big gyarados and a manta ray looking thing?? they were in my computer and i cant find the dude they were listed under originally

[The video turns on to show Cherrygrove City at the beach and focuses on a man that hasn't posted to any network yet. He's seemingly early middle-age with some facial scars along his cheeks half hidden by his beard, sleeves on a new button up shirt rolled up, wearing a twined snake necklace with a red string, barefoot in the sand and flanked by a Seviper, a Psyduck holding its head. Another unseen Pokemon is doing the filming. He's also surrounded by a mostly-empty box of donuts, a milkshake he's still working on, some fruit rinds and cores, a plastic container of some rice dish or another that's now down to a few grains, and a watermelon that's been reduced to hollow green hull halves.]

[He has torn through this meal in one sitting.]

So I gotta admit, I was sorta expectin' the other shoe to drop, but I ain't ever seen anything like this in a long, long time. [He has a thick southern drawl when he speaks.] I walked all the way here, three days, without a single thing attackin' me. No ambushes. No crazy four-armed assassins outa nowhere. No floating angry three-eyed women throwin' fire.

[He doesn't have any of his guns, though. That bit bothers him but as guns don't seem to be a big thing here he'll just be grabbing berries instead of scrounging for ammunition and weapons.]

Now, I guess I gotta amend that thought. I did read that supposedly there's things that'll throw fire but this lady? [He motions to the Seviper over his shoulder, who is just basking like a happy reptile in the sand.] Her name is Fortune, and she's been takin' care of everything. [He gets the gist that she's supposed to, and that it's like having a game rep going into battle for you (something he's very used to). This is so much of a better situation.]

So uh, me an' Fortune are gonna be makin' our way all to one of the bigger cities. But I read about this one called an Ekans? I really wanna get my hands on one, if someone could do me the favor. I heard there was some breeders that might be amenable.

[As he talks, he pulls out a single jade coin and walks it over his fingers. Though with some monstrous slight of hand, that one coin is followed immediately by three more being passed over his knuckles. Just a casual fidget as he talks, and someone with a keen eye might notice the coins are double-sided with two wrapped snakes that match his pendant.]

You can call me Wu Ming. ...And don't worry, I'll take care o' this mess. [He won't leave garbage on the beach. He can't afford to deal with fines right now if he's caught.]

[Well, it's taken some time, but since the year is officially on its way to summer (even if it is raining today), Thida's back in mainland Johto. Thanks to Krieg, she has a little more experience in the water and a marked improvement in overcoming her fear of it; it's a process, but there's been progress.

It's just a shame there's one less person to surprise with that progress.

So, of course she's got out her father's guitar. Of course she's playing it. But there's an incredible improvement from the last time she (unknowingly) played it on the network; this time it's deliberate, the 'gear on and resting steadily as she tunes and checks the sound of everything. A lot of her smaller Pokemon are gathered around her to listen: Babie the Sobble watches her fingers on the strings with wide eyes as he wiggles his own little chameleon hands, Rase the Paras is asleep and pressed flush against his trainer's crossed legs while Poko the Tepig trots back and forth, a little miffed that the guitar is in Thida's lap and not him. Kuro the Umbreon is in a rare moment of calm as his ears twitch, attuning to the sounds, and Asyu the Morelull is perched between them, staring, of course, right at the 'gear as if wanting to be unsettling on purpose. Rami the Sableye and Keccha the Pumpkaboo are sitting together to the side (or, well, Rami sits while Keccha rests her pumpkin self on the ground next to him), a willing audience.

When Thida feels that she's done enough tuning, she lets out a breath and looks at the 'gear.]


Wanted t'play a song. For friends who leave. Even if they can't hear...it's for them.

[And she proceeds to play. The song is a bit slower than what's presented in the video, and obviously only the acoustics; occasionally Thida hums, but since the words that come out of her mouth aren't in Inkling she doesn't want to try singing. Still, it's a nice song, bittersweet in a way, soft and sad and longing.

It's. It's good. Nice to listen to. Pulls on the heartstrings a bit. It's definitely pulling on Thida's, if her dewey eyes are anything to go on, and all her Pokemon cease their fidgeting and listen, some bowing their heads in respect for the music. When she finishes, she sniffs and pats the body of the guitar gently.]


Mm...thanks. [She looks back to the 'gear, seeming to remember her other audience.] Ah, sorry...but thanks, if y'listened. 'M sad, but...I didn't wanna cry.

[Today you may see a video that's rather shaky and traveling through a house at a fairly fast pace. It's also fairly close to the ground, which is a pretty good tip-off that it's a Pokemon handling this 'gear, not a human.

The video stops and tilts up to focus on Yuuko. Once she notices she's being filmed, she starts to look annoyed.
]

Is that where my 'gear went? Twizzle, what have I said about-- [However, she's interrupted by excited chirping from whoever is holding the 'gear. The screen shakes even more as the Pokemon bounces up and down, and then turns towards the front door.]

You want me to follow you outside? Well, okay... [Yuuko sounds a little intrigued and not as annoyed as before. The camera goes to the door, and then a long white feeler with a pink and blue tip reaches up to turn the doorknob and open the door wide.

Yuuko's Pokemon are all standing in front of the small house Yuuko recently rented, making all kinds of excited noises. They're holding up a banner with the words "HAPY MAMA'S DAY TO MAMA" messily painted on it in bright colours.

The screen turns to Yuuko in order to capture her reaction. Her hands are over her mouth and she's tearing up. There's probably a lot of thoughts going through her mind right now--especially of home--but right now, it's mostly disbelieving happiness that her Pokemon would do this for her.
]

I completely forgot today was--you really made this for me?

[Twizzle lets out an affirmative squeak, and the others make sounds of their own. Yuuko lowers her hands with a watery smile.]

Thank you so much. All of you. [Her Pokemon immediately explode into cheers at that.]

...by the way, where did you get the paint for that?

[At that point, the video turns off. Twizzle probably doesn't want to answer that question for some reason.]
