001 | New Bark Town | Video;

[Good morning, Johto! Today, for your viewing pleasure, we have...what appears to be the rather dark and damp interior of a Poochyena's mouth, complete with glistening teeth and a tiny smear of drool at the edge of the camera feed. Not a very decent view, but that's okay, because there's plenty of audio to make up for that — and it seems we've tuned in right in the middle of some rather belligerent ranting...]

—ow what kind of game you're playing here, lady, but I have neither the time nor the patience to stand around while some overzealous kitchen marm tries to stuff me full of animal crackers and ship me off to elementary school. I want to know who you are, I want to know where I am, and most importantly I want to know how the hell you got me here to this godforsaken boondocks in the first place. I have plenty of work to do, and I do not have time for your inane prattle. Just give me some answers so I can be on my way.

[There is some background chatter here, which careful listeners may recognize as Mom's standard speech.]

Listen, June Cleaver, I'll make this very clear: I could not care less about these Puggymans you insist on rambling continuously about. The question is simple: where the hell am I?

[More background chatter! Are we sensing a trend?]

Hn. Forget it.

[Footsteps begin to tap across the linoleum, and in response, the camera begins to shake; evidently, the owner of those teeth is trotting over to give her own greeting to this rather angry newcomer to Johto. And it appears, when the footsteps pause, that he's just noticed her.]

What do you want?

[More shaking of the camera, and then suddenly there is bright light and a whole lot of twisting and rotating as the man apparently takes the Gear out of the dog's mouth and turns it over in his hand, twisting it every which way and tapping it as he inspects it. People who get motion sickness, this is really not the video for you.]

...what is this, a toy or some kind of Star Trek — HELLO.

[And hopefully no one had their volume turned up on their gear, because the man holding it is using his Outside Voice as he addresses the microphone that is apparently about three inches away from his face at the moment.]

I DON'T SUPPOSE YOU'VE GOT SOME ANSWERS FOR ME, MR. SCOTT?
punchandkiss: (Let me axe you a question.)

Action!

A what meal? [She bristles. She wasn't that short!] I can take care of myself. I've been training to fight since I was a little kid. It's sort of a viking thing.

Plus I've got him.

[She points out the Axew who is currently romping around with the stick.] ...I guess, anyway.
punchandkiss: (Astrid Does Not Approve.)

Action!

[personal profile] punchandkiss 2012-07-27 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sixteen, not some little kid. I've already fought dragons before, I think I can handle whatever is out there.

Besides, you don't know any more than I do what's between here and the next town!
punchandkiss: (So what's your problem anyway?!)

Action!

[Astrid just rolls her eyes.]

Of course I know how to make a fire. And forage for food. And find water. Or fish if I have to. [She's not the biggest fan of dull activities.]

And I'm pretty sure people wouldn't be saying 'just follow the road' if it was actually dangerous. What's the point in dragging us here just to get us eaten by bears or something?

[She has no idea what 'infection' is, so she skips over that.]

Well...then you have a bigger pokemon. Pokemon gains enough levels, glows, gets bigger, bam. New Pokemon.

[This has been Pokemon 101 with Professor Townshend!]
punchandkiss: (I know you're there!)

Action!

[personal profile] punchandkiss 2012-07-28 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
Someone told me it's a game. I'm not sure exactly what they mean, but...the little pokemon things get stronger, and you have to keep fighting other, stronger ones.

[No, she doesn't think it makes a lot of sense, but with what she's seen so far, it makes more sense than the other stuff she can come up with.]
foolishwren: so, like queer eye except the gays fuck up the lives of men who deserve it. and also I'm one of the gays. (me pitching a show to netflix:)

[SHE CAN, but it's nbd. He'll find out the reality of this place soon enough. ... But hopefully not via soul-stealing Shedinja.]

... True story.

Well. {SOMEHOW swallowing down all this anger because she might as well be productive even if he grates on her nerves in the worst way possible.}

Is there anything you'd like to know about this place? And before you ask, there is no way to return home that we are able to control.
pianokeys: (Really?)

You didn't want me to answer it?

[He seems to debate this for a moment. It'd be easy enough to say that Windom Earle was in that very same dream - but quite frankly, it doesn't feel like the right moment to bring that up.]

That's something I'd rather discuss between four eyes.
tapestodiane: (I'm gonna let you in on a little secret)

[He appreciates that Albert chooses to let it go, momentarily though it may be. He knows it wouldn't calm either of them to let him in on the full story this early on, after all. For now, there's enough things to break Albert in on as it is.]

No more than ten hours, I believe. You'll be spending quite some time in the air.

[And he kind of has to sound a tiny bit gleeful about that because he's Coop and also dragons.]
tapestodiane: (gun range)

[More of an "you'll get to" - in line with Albert's distinction, absolutely. Coop's gotten fairly used to it by now considering all the dragon rides he's gotten with Carmen.]

I'll call you back with the details.

[Well done Coop, forget to tell him about your hideous mutations.]

Don't be too hard on the locals.
