[09] video

purramedic: (uh.... huh)

[The video opens up on a shot of a PC box chock full of eggs. Boy, has someone got good news for anyone who likes cats or foxes. Honestly, though, when he turns the camera onto himself, Anders just looks... really tired.]

A word of advice, to start: don't trust the bed of the Lake of Rage with your camping equipment, even if the weather looks to be good. [That sudden storm last week was... something.]

I've got here Skitty, Espurr, Shinx, and Zorua eggs, as well as Ice-type Vulpix and Dark-type Meowth from the Sevii Islands. [He pauses to rub at his temple for a moment.] I don't know what any of them are actually worth, but I'm not preoccupied with coin. If anyone feels inclined to pay for one, we'll say P1000 each, but it doesn't particularly matter to me so long as they go to good homes.

[[please see the ooc egg post for notes! namely, the "Espurr" eggs are actually Growlithe eggs!]]

[Video switches on, focused on Ignis. Behind him is Pumpkaboo.]

I am making a humble but firm request that whoevwr is accepting my money from this sentient gourd please stop. And if anyone knows how to lock my accounts from Pump--

[Pumpkaboo bumps Ignis. He sighs long and heavy, pinching the bridge of his nose.]

Apologies... PIMPkiboo.. please let me know.

[ The video snapped on, revealing a warm, summer garden, as the sun was setting and casting long shadows over the ground. Walter was standing, in jeans, a black tee and with a green plaid shirt left open to cover his arms, in the middle of a gathering of Pokemon who are all paying eager attention. He had evidently summoned them about something and was telling them about it...the Pokemon who turned on the camera set it down in the tree they had been hiding in, although they didn't reveal themselves. ]

-the Sun has been generous to us this year, with such a warm and bright summer. So now is our time to give thanks. To celebrate, before the September Equinox. We will need wood, for a fire to cook and dance by. Food as well. And...blood, as a sacrifice. [ Certain pokemon, an Audino and a Floette especially, look concerned about that. But others, such as the ghosts, are grinning eagerly and getting excited at the prospect of a sacrifice. Walter lifted his hands to calm them, speaking in his soft, firm voice. ] I have made plans for that already. Don't worry; there will be no death involved.

We will celebrate in two weeks, before the warmth of summer completely fades. In that time, we will prepare. [ He gestured certain Pokemon forward to give them unique jobs; gathering wood, preparing a fire pit/bonfire- when he's interrupted by Assumption, who stepped forward with a cry to get his attention. The two held their gaze, communicating without a word. Finally, Walter nodded. ] I suppose...we could invite some guests.

[ The gathered Pokemon perked up and began to shift, some roaring or cackling. A blood offering and visitors? This was definitely an occasion now! ]


(( OOC: Walter' will receive messages after his Gear has been brought down from the tree. ))

-- is it always tunnels? Let's crawl into another blighted hole in the earth! It'll be fine!

I'm never setting foot underground again.

[There's just enough glow being given off by a Luxray to illuminate one very lost human and his team in some cave or another. Shot near to the ground, it's a rather hectic scene, half the team trying in vain to reassure their trainer and the other half trying to get their bearings just as desperately.

A Meowstic's cry comes from behind the camera before the view shifts upward and closer to Anders, who's surprised and more than a little embarrassed to see his Gear turned on and floating over to him.]

Flop, what have you -- [He cuts himself off and sighs, taking the Gear and trying not to scowl into it. If it's already broadcasting, he might as well make use of the network's attention.]

Should anyone happen to be familiar with Mt. Mortar, I would very much appreciate some directions.

[There is a pile of eggs on the screen. It is a very large and colorful pile of eggs. Isn't it enchanting?]

My team has generously decided to spread their talents once more. Would anyone like to benefit from it?

[Cecil does not sound enchanted, for some reason. Maybe it's because he cannot see his bed anymore?]

I'll take P1500 for most of the eggs, with the Magikarps and the Caterpies at a third of the price. I'm also willing to trade for eggs or young specimen of the more recent or uncommon species.

[Wasn't emptying his reserve of eggs the whole point, though...?]

Any purchase would be appreciated, truly.

[Please.]

So, Lana's decided to be incredibly rude and become a repeat offender.

[Diana doesn't even give an explanation of her odd choice of words. She lets the scene before her speak for itself.

Eight little Rockruff pups run around, stumbling over each other and fighting over scraps of material. There's barking and howling and general pandemonium. The area around them is just a bomb site.

One of the puppies makes it way over to Diana and
makes eyes at her before it's tackled by a sibling, and they dissolve into brown whir of playful growls and nips.

There's a bark off screen and the camera follows them as the whole litter charge at a larger Rockruff and start tussling, two variations of Lycanroc watching them from a few steps away.]


Look at them, looking all proud and crap. For once, me and Merwin are on the same page.

[She focuses on a irritated looking Houndoom, who's also watching the chaos. Meanwhile, a Mightyena and Zigzagoon dart about between the puppies giddily, play bowing and eager to join the fun.

Diana sighs and just sounds so done.]


Please, please, tell me some of you want a dog?

[[ooc; All puppies have now been claimed, but please don't let this stop you from telling Diana to spay and neuter her pets!]]

Video, Night, Backdated to Late May

[When Angel's feed clicks on, she looks... put off. Though her expression doesn't quite border on the annoyed, there's certainly something on her mind. That something quickly comes to light as she holds out a badge -- the award for defeating Falkner.]

It seems Mari got a little excited. [From off-screen, the sheep Pokemon manages a rather pleasant bleat. Not only is the Mareep excited, but she's a touch pleased with herself as well.]

She encouraged the rest of my team to challenge Falkner. And... considering her strength alone? We came out on top.

[The siren lets out a breath, something far closer to a sigh than a simple exhale.]

I was hesitant to take on this challenge, for fear of injuring my Pokemon in some way or another. But it seems they are more than willing, perhaps even eager to take on the challenge. I guess that is why I wanted to make this video. Is this something Pokemon truly enjoy? Should I go ahead and take on the next challenge?

I... await your responses.

Video/Action, Early June, Azalea Town.

[Angel's next broadcast starts not with her, but with a soft peep from a rather odd looking bird. He might have resembled a Swablu, if Swablu were gold. Experienced trainers would, of course, recognize the creature as a shiny.]

I am a bit late announcing this. [Angel tilts her camera upward, aiming it at her face.] But I wanted to show off my friend. His name is Murphy, and he came from the eggs we received at prom. Like many others have pointed out, he appears to be a shiny variation of his breed. He is... also quite smitten with Bailey.

[Murphy let out a peep at the name, whereas, of screen, Bailey let out a defiant chirp. She clearly didn't return said interest.]

For those keeping track, we have made it to Azalea on our trek. I have... never been here before. It is quite the place, I must admit. If anyone is around here, I would be pleased to meet up. I get the feeling we will be here awhile.

[ Haurchefant sits on a bench on Route 11, looking quite exhausted and messy - but a smile grows on his lips. Curled up next to him is a baby shiny Mareep, and his Goomy is sort of. Goo-ing at the camera. ]

Whoever knew that the horses of this land would be beings of flame...? [ And then, he sees the light and nods to himself. ]

Ah, yes - it seems to be recording - hello! Until recently, I was in Digletts' Cave - how many of you have seen that creature? Forever digging in the dirt, and yet... [ he lets out a hm, shifting the device to a newly-evolved Dugtrio, talking to a Servine - any Pokemon would be able to hear they're discussing Viridian Forest. ] I cannot see if this being is a Hydra or simply multiples. No matter what, I like him.

[ It shifts back to him, as Haurchefant shifts to sitting more comfortably. It's odd, that he still wears his broken armour - but he finds it comforting, in this odd world. ]

But I did not simply turn on this device to speak of my friend. No, there's something I wonder of these other lands. It cannot simply be I - were there any else who found the typing of their starter unfitting? Or-- these types in general, have any of you found they do not match what you know of their species?

[ He's still very. Hung up on getting a Dragon, okay. Even if he knows better, it's him. Before he turns off the video, he taps one of his Elezen ears, letting out a soft hm as he nodded. ]

...Also, are there any goldsmith or... others who can tend to jewelry around? I'm afraid bracelets suit me not, and I desire to place my splendid Key Stone in another piece of jewelry - dear Estinien shall be able to use it eventually. Of course, I'd not ask without payment. Please contact me anon and we can discuss the job further.

Salutations, everyone! Did anyone else find- um. All this, this morning?

[Penny gestures at the mass of decorations behind her, just in case there's any uncertainty about what 'this' entails.]

I mean I'm guessing this is because of that announcement a few days ago, but- I'm not complaining, I just wanted to make sure this wasn't just a really weird burglar or something. Or a reverse-burglar, I guess? Since they left stuff but didn't take it.

[Look there's been weirder stuff that's happened here, it's a possibility.]

Oh, and one other thing.

[The camera turns towards her door for a second - or more accurately, the Pawniard peeking out from around the frame. It stares at the camera for just a moment before vanishing, scuttling off somewhere out of sight.]

I was wondering if anyone had any advice about Pokemon that just kind of seem scared all the time? Scarlet was- I found her during the prom thing. I've been trying to give her space and let her adjust, but I've never had a Pokemon that was this skittish, is there anything else I should be doing?

As the clock nears 10 PM on Saturday, the manor (or the parts of it that people aren’t blocked off from, anyway) is completely abuzz with speculation and gossip. What could Lance possibly be planning to announce? And why haven’t any of the Elite Four even been around? They’re fairly reclusive, but it’s safe to say that everyone is at least a little curious, if not actively suspicious.

But it’s time for the big reveal, so manor staff are bustling around, reminding everybody to be in the ballroom in a few minutes for Lance’s important unveiling of… well, whatever it is he’s unveiling! The staff all seem pretty excited, so it must be big, right?

There’s been plenty of room to dance and move around in the Ballroom until now, but with everybody packed in there at once, the space is a little tighter. Especially with the small stage and podium set up in the middle. As the last (or seemingly last, assuming there aren’t any carefree stragglers who didn’t bother turning up on time) person is ushered in by staff, complete with whispers of "Psst! Hurry up, it’s almost time!", the door to the ballroom is shut and the lights dim slightly, sending a hush over the audience.

After some fumbling from whoever’s in charge of the lights (... wait, is that Captain Garfield and his Rattata up there? He’s a theater tech too?! That guy must REALLY be a jack of all trades!), a spotlight flips on and centers on the podium, where the head staffer (who might be recognized as the one with the terrible hipster mustache who’s been doing a PARTICULARLY egregious amount of schmoozing and sucking-up to trainers over the course of the party) is stepping up to the podium.

He clears his throat.

"Welcome, welcome, ladies and gentlemen! On behalf of the Elite Four, we’re all so happy you could join us! We hope you’ve all been having as good a time as we have, because I’ve got to say, I think this is our best party yet!"

He looks around at the assembled trainers eagerly, as though anticipating unanimous agreement.

When there’s an impatient buzz (and a shout of "Get on with it already!" from someone) instead, he laughs awkwardly.

"Oh, yes, well, we’re all here for one reason, right? To see what Lance has brought you all here for! Well, folks, as you can see, he’s not here with us right now… He’s had a bit of a-- how shall we say… an accident! So sad, I know! But fortunately, he’s graciously allowing us to make his announcement for him. Which is…"

On cue, the spotlight turns stark red. If anyone has the presence of mind to look, Captain Garfield's Rattata is holding a bit of red plastic filter in front of it.

But chances are, everyone’s attention is probably going to stay on the stage, because the guy at the podium literally just RIPPED HIS CLOTHING OFF DRAMATICALLY, revealing… yes… a very, very familiar black-and-red uniform underneath.

It’s followed immediately by more ripping sounds as other staff and even some partygoers scattered throughout the audience follow his lead, and the telltale noises and flashing of Pokemon being released from their balls. And many voices, all yelling at once...

"PREPARE FOR TROUBLE! AND MAKE IT DOUBLE!!"


The music shifts.

[The beast approached -- eyes the size of hands glittering menacingly at Hawke and her companions. Varric was through, but Stroud and the Inquisitor remained. The former, perhaps the last sane mind in the Wardens, would need to bring stability to the organization. The latter was the last hope that Thedas had.]

[And Hawke?]

[Hawke was a remnant of a bygone era. She'd failed a city, failed the people she cared for by letting it fall to ruin. The Templars had cast her from her home for aiding the mages, and the mages thought her solely responsible for what happened in Kirkwall. She had, after all, had a hand in its destruction. The city had taken everything from her: her mother, her people, her cause and eventually pushed her to drive a blade into the back of her lover.]

[It had been four years since she'd heard Anders say her name. Four years since she]

[Her best friend would miss her, of that she was sure. Relayed as much to the Inquisitor as he nodded his assent and began to charge toward the fade rift.]

[Drawing her staff, Hawke turned to the beast. Lightning crackled across her fingertips, flames built at the tip of the staff that had once been her father's.]


Sorry, Anders. [She wanted to believe that somewhere out there, he was listening. Heard her grief and would perhaps accept her with open arms when she slipped into whatever afterlife awaited her.]

[She charged forward, toward the clicking mandibles and murderous eyes of death itself. The rift nearby flashed twice, Stroud and Lavellan plunging through its shimmering surface. A jointed leg smashed down, knocking Hawke to the ground hard enough to hit her head. Her vision swam, barely processing another leg racing toward her chest with blazing speeds.]

[And then... Marian Hawke woke up.]

[For once, it isn't a video or even audio feed that Anders starts, but plain text. Things are a bit too personal right now to risk the wrong shot, and it'll be easier to keep his composure not reacting quite in real time.]

I may have imagined it, but I recall hearing somewhere recently that sometimes people here become comatose for short periods. If this is true, I would appreciate the advice of anyone familiar with these incidents. I have no way to diagnose or address complications from this state without my magic. I'm particularly worried about hydration and nutrition in an afflicted person.

And if I'm mistaken, and invented this concept in my own head, I need to know, urgently.

[The moment the video clicked on, Angel let out a sigh. A small hand lifted, pinching the bridge of her nose, before lowering once more, settling onto the back of a new face-- a Glameow. Finally, she offered the device a thin smile.]

I had a plan to offer a sentimental message about growing older, but it seems I was preempted. [She laughed, but it came without humor.] What you heard was correct, today is my birthday.

[A pair of feelers announced the approach of 'Dora, the sylveon, who wrapped his appendages around her in a gesture of comfort.]

It also would appear that I've been here six months now. It's a lot to consider -- celebrating my first birthday on my own, six months after I broke free from my father. To be honest, it's the first time I've recognized it in almost a decade.

It's... a big deal.

[One final sigh, before a smile broke through. It was perhaps a little sad, but still genuine.]

My door will be open today, for anyone who might want to stop by. You can meet my new friend, Princess Smoosherella. [The cat mewled a greeting.] We can all get ice cream together!

[[Right here's the catch-all I've been promising! Feel free to put anything you need in here, in-person or otherwise! Angel's still at the Ecruteak in for a few days longer.]]

[The pokegear shows a table, a torracat who doesn’t seem to understand yet that it has gotten a bit too big for this sleeping on the end of the table, paws and tail spilling over the edge. It’s not an accidental video though; it is focused on a chess board, a pale hand setting the pieces with the quick sort of ease that comes from having done this countless of times before.

Armin’s voice is quiet and a little thoughtful as he talks.]


It’s interesting to see how some things seem to be unique to certain worlds [like the titans of their own world] while other things seem to be known in almost all worlds. It makes me wonder what makes some things so common while others are so rare. I was surprised to find this in town, but it even has exactly the same rules as back home.

[It’s not visible on the camera, but Armin smiles as he adds:]

… The pieces look a little different, though.

[Rather than the standard pawns, rooks and knights, all of the chess pieces look like grass pokemon: little oddishes and bellsprouts for pawns, a pair of venusaurs for rooks on the black side stand across two meganiums on white’s side.

Armin sits, finally in view of the camera, his finger coming to rest on the white king (serperior), glancing at the camera as he addresses it.]


Would anyone be interested in a game? I know it’s not a pokemon battle, but it has been a while since I had a chance to play.

[06] video

purramedic: (yikes but no ouchie)
[personal profile] purramedic
[Anders, still done up for work, looks rather unimpressed as he starts to broadcast from his hotel room. Without a word yet, he turns the video onto a Pokemon that no longer matches his adorable Skitty scrubs. Pinsy is flopped over on the bed, her much bigger body dwarfing the pillow she's stretched out on.]

I come home to find that somebody took it upon herself to dig a very special stone out of my bag.

I would say she looks far more regal, but she seems to be even lazier now. As if I thought it was possible.

[Just for emphasis, he extends a hand to lift one of her paws and drop it back onto the sheets, repeatedly, and the Delcatty's only reaction is a tired stare toward the camera.]

Incredible. I thought evolution was meant to make Pokemon stronger.

A: Action- Game Corner

[In the dim light of the seedy room, Dorian sat. He had his nose almost pressed to the screen, and his eyes studied the constantly cycling numbers, letters and symbols. His lips were turned down in a frown. Every now and again, he moved, either letting out a exalted cry or a discouraged scoff.]

[Viridis laid at his feet, its much larger, newly evolved form taking up a large amount of space (at least enough to make the other patrons glower at the man.]

[Finally, Dorian turned, letting out an exasperated sigh.]


I'm beginning to think these machines are rigged.

B: Action- Goldenrod Bar

[It wasn't hard to miss the former mage during the nights. Having finally found a decent source of alcohol, the man had fallen back on old habits. There were no goals in his mind, no people to save.]

[And so he filled his time with familiar vices.]

[While not a sloppy drunk, per se, he was loud, and quite enjoyed his space in the spotlight. He can be found front and center, a colorful drink in hand. Viridis, on the other hand, could be spotted in a corner, glowering at his trainer.]


C: Video- Goldenrod Inn

[The video clicked on, focusing on a particularly muscled back and bedraggled hair. A muffled groan came from the form, and slowly Dorian lifted his head to glare at the screen, not unlike the Pokemon behind him.]

I'm calling in an emergency. [His voice was hoarse and his expression pained.] Send a healer to my room in the Goldenrod Inn. Coin and company will be provided to whomever can rid me of the wretched pain in my head.
purramedic: (cute patoot)

[video]

[If you wanted a Meowstic and a Luxray purring and rumbling over each other on video, today is your lucky day. Even Pinsy the Skitty seems in a pleasant mood, and peers at the camera from atop the Luxray's head. Their trainer is also in shockingly good spirits compared to his last few public broadcasts. And look! He even shaved the beard off!

Yes, the video's a bit crowded, but what matters is the message.]


Happy First Day! I don't know if that means much to anyone here -- there seemed to be a lot of partying last night -- but it has a bit of significance in my world. It's a time to celebrate the previous year and the friends and family who made it wonderful.

So, on behalf of most Thedosians here, I'd like to extend an invitation to everyone, friend and stranger alike, to a gathering this evening at the Goldenrod Inn. Just ask for the private ballroom. There will be food -- and free drinks.

[Anders gives a wink before shifting the camera to get Hawke rather than his team in the background of his shot, though her smile is about as sardonic as usual.]

If any of our friends are unable to attend but would like to see us today, let us know and we'll do our best to meet up before this evening.

[Attached is a file noting the address and time of the party.]


[action - goldenrod inn]

[The gathering itself is pretty low-key for the setting. There are a few tables set up together in a fashion suspiciously reminiscent of a medieval banquet hall. Some hors d'oeuvres, main and side dishes, and desserts for humans and Pokemon, nothing too fancier than you'd find at a casual dinner, are placed upon the tables, and drinks of both non- and alcoholic variety can be acquired from their own bar. The only hotel attendant actively engaging is here, and only to make sure minors don't grab the rum or something.

The rest of the hall is open enough for a few dozen people or large Pokemon to move around in comfortably. Eat, drink, and be merry!]
