005 - video

[The video opens up to a pleasant sunny day in what may be familiar as Olivine. Well, it's familiar once Gremlin pulls his rat face out of the way, scurrying back across what is clearly one of those tables with the umbrellas attached in the center.]

[Dimitri has a Munna on his shoulder and is being seated by his own lady Indeedee, who seems rather pleased with herself. This self satisfaction only blooms further as Dimitri gently pats her head before turning to the video.]


Hello. I had a question about Indeedee. Now, Silkie here is very pleasant, and normally a delight to be around despite how my travel party initially met her-

[You know, that month where everyone got their secrets dragged out of them unwillingly?]

[Silkie ducks out of sight for a moment, appearing almost seconds later to contentedly start setting up... Where did she get the tea set? Her eyes are also softly glowing with psychic energy, matching the exact same glow that's seeping from between Kent the Munna's closed eyelids.]


However, I have noticed that, well... Not only do I worry she overworks herself, but, today, I have noticed a similar type of Palien like herself and her reaction has been-

[Suddenly, Silkie's head snaps up and the glow from her eyes fades. This would make her look more approachable if not for the murderous look on her face, and she abandons the tea she's just set down to storm off camera. She's sure making some upset noises!]

[Dimitri immediately looks over and makes a soft distressed noise.]


Silkie, no, it is all right-

[He gets up, Munna still sleepily on his shoulder, and also leaves off camera. There are sure a lot of angry Indeedee sounds!]

[Still on the table, Gremlin the Rattata watches whatever is happening with perked up ears and a twitching tail. After a second, it occurs to him to share this drama with the network. So he scurries forward again, clumsily taking the Gear in his paws and turning the camera around.]

[The new focus? Silkie, threateningly waving a rake around in the direction of a male Indeedee - the latter of who looks rather startled at this sudden aggression. Dimitri is trying to calm his Pokemon, hands raised up placatingly.]

[Anyone who understands Pokespeak - or has Pokemon watching this post too - will understand she's yelling at her male counterpart something about.... being a homewrecker?]

[So that's fun.]

[Shinobu is vaguely tempted to get popcorn. In the meantime, his eyebrows are slowly going up as the Indeedee's tirade continues.]

That's some impressive vitriol.

Well, she did call this one a "homewrecker," so I'm assuming there's a personal element there.

I think this is the first time the male Indeedee have shown up.

Hmph. Told you she was a menace.
bestswordmaster: (postskip frown)

[personal profile] bestswordmaster 2021-03-16 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I don’t. But you can’t seriously defend yours now that you’ve seen what she’s really like under that smothering caretaker facade.

[personal profile] bestswordmaster 2021-03-18 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't say that. I said she was a menace. A troublemaker. She made trouble for you and the other Indeedee just now. Isn't 'homewrecker' a term for someone who's having an affair with a married person? I've heard people use that word for Sylvain before. That's a pretty strange thing for your Pokemon to say.
bestswordmaster: (really)

[personal profile] bestswordmaster 2021-03-19 08:43 am (UTC)(link)
Heh. Perhaps the rest of us should watch our backs just in case she decides she wants you all to herself.

[It's...not a joke, exactly, but it's not wholly serious either. Probably.]
bestswordmaster: (eyes closed)

[personal profile] bestswordmaster 2021-03-20 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Felix scoffs.] As if I would let her take me or any of us down so easily.
bestswordmaster: (postskip eyes closed)

[personal profile] bestswordmaster 2021-03-23 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
Hmph. I notice you haven't offered to defend your own boyfriends from sabotage at the hands of this pest. Don't think I won't remember that, Mitya.
bestswordmaster: (postskip facepalm)

[personal profile] bestswordmaster 2021-03-23 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Unbeknownst to Felix, that nickname still brings a faint dusting of pink to his cheeks. Even so, he glares.]

No, you can't, because you just said you thought I would fall for a sneak attack. You can't have it both ways.
bestswordmaster: (postskip really)

[personal profile] bestswordmaster 2021-03-26 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I wouldn't.

[One could almost hear the 'so there' at the end of that sentence.]

Anyway, if she whisks you away somewhere in the middle of the night or tries to murder one of us, don't say I didn't warn you.
bestswordmaster: (postskip contemplative)

[personal profile] bestswordmaster 2021-03-28 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
Would it? Have you seen the way she looks at me?

[Felix glares back at her, but then he's blinking at Dimitri.]

You didn't. It tried to kill you?
bestswordmaster: (postskip smirk)

[personal profile] bestswordmaster 2021-03-29 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
Hmph. We'll see.

[But soon Felix's full attention is on Dimitri's story. Perhaps surprisingly, he doesn't bat an eye.]

Oh. It knew how to Self-Destruct. Moralta does that, too. It was pretty disturbing the first time she did it in training. I thought something had blown her to smithereens somehow.

[Maybe surprisingly, Felix doesn't chide or roll his eyes at Dimitri's admission. He just nods.]

I've had that reaction more than once, here, too. At certain sounds, or when someone catches me by surprise. It's...unpleasant.

[He shakes his head.]

He can't possibly have put up any fight at that point. Did you catch him?

[personal profile] bestswordmaster 2021-04-07 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Heh. Sounds like your new Pokemon has some real fighting spirit. If you win his loyalty, he'll be a great asset to your battling team.
bestswordmaster: (postskip felix explains it all)

[personal profile] bestswordmaster 2021-04-09 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Indeed. When Kyphon first evolved, he didn't want to listen to me. Gyarados are temperamental creatures. You must simply rise to this Pineco's challenge and do not blink or back down until it relents.

[Either that or just pretend it's Felix, they sound pretty similar...]
