001; First Case of Hysteria; Video/Action for New Bark

[When the feed opens up, it’s to a shot of grey, flurry-filled sky. A pair of voices can be heard somewhere offscreen, though it’s a bit hard to make out exactly what they’re saying. Especially when the face of a Magby soon overtakes the screen, making a number of curious noises. The camera jostles a bit as the pokemon filming this breathtaking scenery responds back to the Magby. Judging by the stubby little foot that comes into view a few moments later, the cameramon is an Elekid.]

[After a few moments of squabbling and jostling and scenic views of sky, trees, various buildings in New Bark Town and baby pokemon appendages, they manage to get the screen pointed at their initial target: two sets of legs shivering in the snow.]


I don’t know who taught that bird how to mother kids, but she’s doing a bushwa job of it. Who kicks their kids out in the snow and doesn’t give them an overcoat?

I d-d-d-d-don’t kn-know. I thought mothers were s-s-s-s-s’pposed t’... [She trails off for a good minute or so, shivering increasing, the chattering of her teeth still audible even though she’s not taking.] Y’know, Dame? I’m n-not really sure what mothers are s-s-s-supposed t’do, now that I think on it.

Wh-whaddaya mean, Broad? They’re supposed to...to... [The voice pauses, the owner thinking hard on this.] Ah phooey, who cares what they’re supposed to do. But they ain’t supposed to just kick their children out like that, that’s for sure! [Or maybe not. She sure doesn’t have a whole lot of conviction in her voice.] I mean, that’s just part of being a decent person!

[The second voice murmurs in agreement.] Think we’re getting a little s-s-s-sidetracked, though. Never mind “m-m-mother”, sh-sh-shouldn’t we focus on meetin’ up with the fellas? Sleuth looked t’be in p-p-p-p-pretty bad shape.

I th-think we should think more about wh-where we are. No use trying t’get to them if we’ve no idea where to start heading... [And that’s when she seems to notice the Pokemon playing with one of their devices, as she calls them over.] C’mere you rascals. What’re you doing, huh?

[When the little rascals in question fail to move, the woman decides to take matters into her own hands by walking over and snatching the gear away. After a few moments fumbling, the top half of her appears on the screen, revealing her to be a somewhat buxom, blue-eyed brunette wearing an elegant corset over a pale blue dress.]

I don’t think that’s a toy, you know.

[A moment later, her companion appears on screen, and it’s immediately clear why she was shivering so badly. as The second woman is rail-thin and, like her companion, wearing nothing more than a corset over a sleeveless dress, pale green. She’s blonde and despite the fact that it’s not summer, is wearing a pair of outrageously cool sunglasses. The two peer curiously at the device before accidentally ending the feed.]

[How does technology.]

((ooc: Blue is Hysterical Dame and green is Nervous Broad. Responses will come from both and those in New Bark/Route 29 are more than welcome to run into them in person. ♥))

[What the fuck did he just watch. No really. His mind is a little blank here. So he just rolls with it.] She does that to everyone. I have no idea why she thinks we're all her kids. It's like an addiction with that one. See a person, oh no it's time to go kick'em out.

Like everyone else said, the professors will let you hang out there and keep warm. It's cold as fuck out.

[Off their-

...]


Who knows. Lady got probs up the wazoo and then some. Fyi this is the time you can ask anything you want from me and get an answer. [Though it might not be TRUE, it will be in fact, an answer.]
santafancier: (Well I suppose that could work.)

[Clearly, they are dealing with one OUTRAGEOUSLY COOL dude here, if his shades are anything to go by. Actually...huh. How curious is that? He seems to have the same shades as her. Perhaps this boy is from their world too!]

S-s-s-somehow I had a feeling she wasn't really our m-m-mother. What a fluky bird...

[Seriously, why would someone do that. It's just bizarre.]

Is it always c-c-c-cold like this here?
moveslikestrider: (This is how I roll.)

[personal profile] moveslikestrider 2013-01-22 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
No. You just happened to arrive in the dead of winter. You'd think 'mom' would alter to suit the seasons but that's asking for too much. [Obviously dealing with a SUPER COOL lady here since she has the same shades as he does.] Sweet shades by the way.
santafancier: (Hello there handsome.)

[She giggles.]

Why thank you, yours are p-ppretty s-swanky too. 'F-Ffraid I don't rightly know where t'beg-g-gin with the questions though. It's all a bit overwhel-lming.

Want me to cover the basics? Could be a start at least. [He flashes a easy smile that's casual and fits the shades. Sometimes he can be legit cool and not a dork.]

[It's okay, Dave. NB will likely always think you're a pretty cool kid. Just the bee's knees, you are.]

That'd be J-Jake!

[Because she understands pretty much jack shit right now.]
moveslikestrider: (I don't need to try to control you.)

[video] ok now that I've wrote a monster

[personal profile] moveslikestrider 2013-01-26 02:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Let's start with your new compadres. [He turns his gear to Lady B, and she rises up to paw at the air with her hooves. He walks over to her, rubbing her nose as she settles down.] They're called Pokemon and we're in the region of Johto. The other region is Kanto - can be reached by train (expensive) or by ferry (really cheap).

Pokemon are the whole center of society here and also what you use to defend yourself and travel be. I could ride Lady B here. Or. [He whistles and Snoop the Dragonite slips into the frame.] Fly with Snoop.

Travel time is cut depending on what you do with the fastest being flying. But if you're a training certain things are unavailable until you battle gym leaders. You first is Falkner, with his flying types. If you beat him - fire, rock, electric and anything not weak to flying can do it, you get a badge which let's you use fly outside of battle. Trainers (look on the card you got) need these to use hm moves - I'll get into that in a sec.

The gear device has a lot of niffy features which includes a map.

Anyway Hms and tms. [He whips out one tm and one hm.] Short of hidden machine and technical machine. The first, reuseable and the stuff that you need badges to use. The second are one shots but you can pass the moves on to other pokemon via breeding them. Lady B can't learn rock smash, but she can learn a lot of other things.

Type advantages are a good basic rule of thumb, as you get stronger and your buds evolve or learn more you can throw that away and focus on what they can do and can be taught. It's expensive to boost their weakest areas like speed, etc but once you've got the cash? It's a good idea.

The balls like this, [He produces a pokeball from his bag using it to snag Dragonite back in.] are how you catch others to keep and use. (Not as horrible as it sounds, ok) but don't just catch things willy nilly, you can only keep fifty six.
santafancier: (I do declare!!)

[video] but it's such a beautiful monster

[personal profile] santafancier 2013-01-30 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
I feel like I o-oughta be writin' this all down. Gosh, it's a lot to take in! Wait...

[Now that she gets a good look at Lady B...]

You say you r-ride on that horse? How?! [SHE'S ON FIRE...]
moveslikestrider: (and put on a show.)

[video] long-winded Dave monster.

[personal profile] moveslikestrider 2013-01-31 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
It is, but, you get used to it. Along with any crazy thing thrown your way. [He just vaults up onto Lady B's back and pats her shoulder.] Because she likes me, her flames won't burn me.
santafancier: (Mr. Dogg is just the bee's knees!)

[video] /throws a pokeball at it

[personal profile] santafancier 2013-02-04 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
Well, ain't that just the b-b-bee's knees! Amaz-zz-zin'! [Where can she get a magical flaming pony, seriously.] So is that a p-pretty regular thing then? Crazy happenings? Had my share of th-those back home but nothin' quiiite like this.

[personal profile] moveslikestrider 2013-02-04 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. It's pretty crazy here as far as pokemon go. You can even catch ghosts and dragons.
santafancier: (Hello there handsome.)

[video] weeehhhh

[personal profile] santafancier 2013-02-14 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
Goodness, real ghosts? An' d-dragons too, wowee! But what was that you were sayin' about a c-card? Is there somethin' else you can be 'sides a trainer?
moveslikestrider: (Moves like Jagger)

[video] /o/

[personal profile] moveslikestrider 2013-02-14 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, if it says Breeder you can just borrow hms from someone and use them whenever you want to. It lets you get more eggs from breeding your pokemon too.
