[ Annie has damp hair she's wearing in a braid draped over her shoulder, sitting next to Krieg at a wood table, water glasses and what might be alcohol in frosted glasses before them. They're both facing the camera. Annie isn't smiling, but she's holding her one hand up making a victory sign in the least enthused manner ever. ]

Puck, just take the photograph already.

[ Krieg, bemasked as always although presumably?? Also drinking?? Is a little more into this whole photo session than Annie - he leans in next to his buddy and also flashes a victory sign...behind her head. Classic. ]

You gotta say "CHEESE", Honeyshine!

[ She starts frowning, eyes slanting to look askance up at him. ]

Why the hell would I shout cheese—

[ She's cut off as the sound of singing begins, a cupcake with a candle burning brightly in the middle being placed down in front of her. Puck shifts the camera to show the serving staff gathered behind the two diners, everyone smiling as brightly as the candle burns. Happy Birthday to you~ Annie is almost cut out of the frame, but what can still be seen of her face has her eyes going from blinking down at the cupcake, to wide open with the whites showing. What the legitimate fuck?! ]

Because when you say it you smile! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BIRTHDAY GIRL!!!!

[ The servers finish the song with a loud, “Happy 18th Birthday, Annie!” which anyone who knows she just turned 17, actually, might tip off about why she has a beer. Annie has hunched her shoulders, and the camera's starting to shake as Puck laughs silently. Annie gives Krieg a flat look, plucks the still burning candle out of the cupcake, and without a hitch in her movements, shoves the pretty, frosted cupcake into his masked face.

And blows out her candle.
]

Happy birthday yourself.

[ Krieg, his mask now caked in confectionery, just laughs. ]

PffffmnahahahahAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[ The video ends as a small, barely there smile curls her lips up at the corners while he laughs and the servers look on in slightly distressed confusion. ]

Now that's a pretty good haul, if I do say so myself.

[Hey everyone, remember that weird kid complaining about not being a bird anymore? Seems like she's mellowed out a bit and decided to use the video feature this time around, though instead of a video of herself, the gear is instead turned towards a trio of pokemon, near what seems to be the shore of the lake surrounding the Sprout Tower in Violet City, close to the Pokemon Center.

The first is a Skrelp, who seems to be enjoying showing off for the camera; zipping from side to side in the shallows of the lake, puffing out its chest and shooting out small bursts of Water Gun like... well. A water gun. The second is a Ralts, standing a bit away from the shore. If it had fingers it would clearly be wringing its little hands with the way it seems to be fretting frowning and reaching out towards the third pokemon in this little group; a Trapinch, which seems to be chewing happily on... a Bellsprout?? No, not a real Bellsprout... it looks like one of those tacky tourist souvenirs, the kind that will wiggle around like they were dancing if you leave them in the sun or play music close to them. This poor little dancing Bellsprout seems to be the former, if the way the toy still pathetically wiggling in the Trapinch's jaws is anything to go by.

It's an interesting trio, and if the way Lena is giggling behind the camera is anything to go by, she's pretty happy with them.]


I gotta say, though... those ruins outside of Violet City were kind of a bust, aren't they? I mean, alphabet soup monsters? Nnnnnot really my idea of spooky ruin-dwellers. I've heard of way worse.

[Webby talked her ear off about Toth-ra, and there was all that stuff she put her to sleep with in regards to Scrooge's adventures, so when she and Demyx decided to take a day trip into the ruins, she was expecting... well. Something like that. Like, actual monster-looking things.]

So are ruins like this a thing here? They kinda seem... I dunno. Out of place.

[When Lust appears on the 'gear, she's looking a bit less put together than usual. Not much makeup, still-short hair falling naturally and without any pins or styling. She looks tired.]

I'm sorry have to say, but..

Wrath is no longer among us.

[She leaves it at that. Nothing further she wants to say is anything she's about to put on the public network.]

lordofthefries: (→ calgon take me away)
[personal profile] lordofthefries
[The feed starts out dark, but not quiet, as there's Sasha's voice in the background, sounding as if she's reciting words that are unfamiliar to her. She's halting and pausing at certain times, usually right before she sounds out a word, taking it syllable by syllable. It's the clear tone of someone not very skilled in reading, much less doing so out loud, but trying their best anyway to learn in the privacy of their own home.

Only it's not private due to one one roly poly Togepi who is fussing with the 'gear until the camera catches a proper view, though upside down in those tiny hands. Sasha's sitting on her bedroom floor with a stack of books next to her with various titles like The Ugly Ducklett, The Phantump Tollbooth, The Tale of Peter Buneary and The Egg-Sitters Club. Along her other side is an Arcanine and an Eevee, watching her with expectant eyes because this is clearly story time and not just Sasha practicing her reading on a non-human, non-judgemental audience.

That's her story and she's sticking to it.]


Piplup had not for-got-ten her father. He was a sea captain who sailed on the great ocean, and Piplup had sailed with him in his ship until one day her father was blown oh-ve-board in a storm and dis.. dis-app-ear-ed. But Piplup was ab-so-lute-ly certain that he would come back. She would never believe that he had drowned; she was sure he had floated until he landed on an island in-hab... in-hab-eye-ted by cannibals. And she thought he had become the king of all the cannibals and went around with a golden crown on his head all day long.

[Sasha huffs and tosses the book (which turns out to be Piplup Longstocking) aside at the constant mention of cannibals--she got enough of that at home with the Titans, thank you very much--and picks up another one from the pile, The Wonderful Whismur of Oz.]

Doo-roo-thhhy lived in the mid-ths of the great Kan-sass prah-i-ries...

[No, this one has even more words she's unfamiliar with and on the first page too. What the hell is a Kan-sass anyway? Tossing that one away, she picks up something that looks a lot thinner with a whole lot more pictures in it and begins reading out loud again.]

One corphish, two corphish, red corphish, blue corphish. Black corphish, blue corphish, old corphish, new corphish...

[Much better. Easier too! Why doesn't everybody write books that don't give her a headache?]

Keith and Romelle are gone.

I've got their starters. And Keith's Skarmory. If anyone has any of their other pokemon I'd appreciate knowing.

Going to Cianwood City. Missed that badge. Sorry to anyone waiting on the Island.

That's all.


[That's. Really all. That's all he knows how to say about the situation. All he thinks to say without dumping more feelings out.]

[So clearly... it's back on the road.]

Anyone got a recommendation for good batteries in this damn place?

[ the video feed opens not on jack's face, but on a hotel room desk. he's got several batteries that look like they could fit into a flashlight or other types of utilities sitting on the desk, spread out. the only other things visible are his scarred hands and most of his upper body, wearing a black shirt. the feed cuts off at the shoulder.

his skitty, crybaby, is also in the shot, gently batting at some of the smaller batteries. ]


Every single one of these has died after an hour of use, maybe. Some were dead when I put them in.

Back in my world, batteries actually lasted for a decent amount of time.

[ jack makes a scoffing noise and leans down out of sight of the camera to get something. meanwhile, the skitty on camera stiffens, and then wiggles, running across the screen to chase something, clattering some of the batteries.

... that something being a joltik, bouncing across the screen as crybaby chases it to the other side.

jack can be seen looking up, a flash of a scarred face and white hair. ]


What are you --

[ he reaches up to turn off the gear as he gets up after his skitty. ]

so hey, what's with the weird alien stuff
i mean i figured any kind of weird shadow world would be pretty wonky but this is a whole other story
with the lack of feathers and beak and the weird feet and all that
and it's a lot more colorful than i thought it'd be??
crazy


[She's going to stick to "shadow world" instead of "afterlife", because... mmm. That's not something she's willing to unpack just yet. She's still trying to deal with the fact that Magica sucked her back into her shadow; the whole hit point black with a murder-spell later is something she's just. Going to repress for now.

It's good, it's fine, she's used to trying to repress the horrific stuff that happens to her.]


is waking up in a weird place and then being booted to the curb and told to go on an adventure, like
a thing here
because it's a pretty weird thing
and trust me, i know a lot about weird things

[Hello everyone, around early afternoon today, you will get a completely normal looking series of text.]

HI THIS IS THE REAL RAY STANTZ AND I AM REALLY MESSAGING EVERYONE

I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT MY NEW POKEMON DOPPELGANGER, A REALLY AMAZING DITTO, IS GREAT AND DESERVES MORE TREATS THAN I AM GIVING THEM

I SHOULD GIVE THEM A WHOLE CAKE


[A pause.]

AND IF YOU DO NOT THINK I AM THE REAL RAY STANTZ, HERE IS AN ACTUAL PHOTO OF ME

[After a few minutes there... sure is a pic sent of what appears to be Ray, except he looks a little off. His smile is just a bit too blank and he looks a tiny bit too stiff. It's a little unnerving, to be honest.]

THERE I AM

PROOF THAT I AM RAY STANTZ


[Another few minutes pass, then-]

So I kind of have a problem.

[Mabel doesn't look too pleased. Which is odd for her.

She actually looks rather annoyed.]


I think I got kidnapped. And not by Jeff.

[Said Drifloon drifts into view behind Mabel, glaring at the 'gear as he waves his tendrils about. Another Pokemon comes into view, floating in the air as well but this one is a rather new addition to Mabel's crew.

An Abra.]


This weirdo kidnapped me and now I'm on a train and I had to pay for a ticket even though I didn't want to be on the train!

[Mabel glances up at the Abra as it slowly turns upside down in the air, sighing.]

Dipper, if you're seeing this, I guess we're flying solo now!

I've been doing a lot more reading lately and in turn it's been making me think a lot about something coming up. I know other places have different holidays and some of them have happened here, but I've never actually celebrated this one before - I think it was called "Valentine"? The one focused towards



couples and stuff like that


I was hoping I could ask what people normally do on that day because some of these books aren't exactly clear or they all seem to involve something really over the top and flashy which isn't quite my 'thing'. I know chocolates and things like that are involved too and I want to make something myself, but I'm also not sure what I could do.


[Which is ironic considering he does most of the baking for FCAB, but this is different.]

Does anyone have any suggestions? Some of it'll probably be sold at FCAB too.

[personal profile] lifebloomsanew
Hello trainers, I'm afraid I need to ask for a bit of help. Not for me, but for Poochy....

[Rose sighs and turns the camera. What the hell is that thing she points it at? Something that doesn't want to be recorded, that's for sure. All you can see is a lump of bare grayish pink skin and tufts of sad, patchy fur attempting to re-grow. Poorly. There's a very cheap ragged scarf wrapped around it.]

[Yup, that's a poochyena that was depilated. Someone had a very rough Mischief Night, and currently is trying to make himself as small and invisible as possible.]


He's so embarrassed....and cold. He needs sweaters - nice sweaters to make him feel good about himself again. He won't listen to me or the others that it doesn't matter. And it's starting to get cold. I don't have much money yet, but surely some of you wonderful people can spare a warm sweater or two...

I tried making him one but I don't know what sweaters are made out of. Or how to sew.

I saved the scarf I used, though!

[It's late evening when the video appears on the network and whoever's behind the 'gear is trying to stifle giggles as they focus the camera on a bench underneath a streetlight. A shiny Zubat is settled on the bench munching on berries that are being brought to it by a much larger Golbat who practically has hearts in his eyes as he waddles up to the bench and drops more berries before the lovely lady.

The Zubat inspects the new offerings and that's when the camera person finally speaks.]


Will she accept his tokens of affection? So far she's been so coy! So picky!

[It comes out in a low whisper though anyone familiar enough with her will know that it's Mabel.]

I've been watching this love story unfold for the past two days and it's been magical!

[The Zubat let's out a happy squeak and takes a bite out of one of the berries which prompts the Golbat to do a little jig in excitement. The camera goes a bit crazy for a second as Mabel let's out an excited squeal, fumbling to turn it around and press her face right up into it now.]

Guys guys GUYS DID YOU SEE THAT?! IT WAS SO CUTE!!!! EDGAR AND BELLA ARE SO CUTE I'M GONNA DIE YOU GUYS!

[Sorry not sorry.]

[The video is clearly not being used by a human. It's too close to the ground, and a quick camera check to see that it's working will show a Gothita. Namely, Moon Child, belonging to one Dipper Pines. Who you can now see as the hidden camera is now pointing back to show....a room with drawn curtains?

Well there's Dipper with a map of the city on the wall covered in pins, lines drawn with markers and is he wearing an over sized trench coat and hat? Apparently yes. And he's addressing a group of pokemon in front of him. Notably an Alolan Vulpix and a Phantump.]


Okay you all know the plan. Blizzard. You'll provide cover if things get too....heated. Crafty, I've devised the most likely movements of the competition based on these equations.

[A sheet is pulled off a white board and dear lord how much math is on that? It's....a lot? What is all this planning for?]

Study them and make sure you know they by heart. Now then, I have disguises so that even if we are spotted, we'll be able to have plausible deniability. 

[Well that sure sounds ...bad. Dipper meanwhile seems pleased.]

All we have to do is follow this simple 28 step plan I've created and this will all work out fine Nothing will stop us from purchasing the latest ABBRA album....nothing!

[And insert evil? (wait is this even evil?) laughter and wait Moon Child is on the move because she's been spotted. The camera goes shaky as the pokemon tries to hide it, fails and then hands it over.]

What are you doing? You know this is secret....what do you mean the video is still going?

[Dipper then glances down at the camera.]

Uh....You saw nothing! Um....this isn't Dipper it's....

[He turns the camera away and then back and oh dear, are those fake glasses with the nose piece. Yup.]

His evil twin...other twin...wait no, um, clone! Who likes pop music, so, totally not him ...um...yeah- 

[100% sold it. Anyway the video cuts short there as it's quickly turned off. YOU SAW NOTHING.]

[The past month seems to have both rushed past and been the only month there's ever been, spanning forever, simultaneously.]

[There's been no shortage of updates from Heather over the weeks, mostly in the form of photographs and brief phone conversations-- snapshots of sunsets and sleepy Pokemon around the campfire and far-off lights on the horizon at night. But, she'll be the first to admit it, those updates started drying up a bit as the trek went on. Long video essays about what they'd encountered that day eventually just turned into the occasional photo.]

[Being out there by yourself for so long makes the rest of the world seem in stasis-- or gone. If it weren't so exciting, maybe the easiness with which the wilderness just swallowed you up might have freaked her out a bit.]

[But a little radio silence aside... all journeys have an end-point.]

[Remember that crazy coffee shop commercial that aired awhile back?

Well this isn't anything like that but it's definitely commercial-esque.

The video snaps on with Mabel seated at a desk--who's desk you ask? Who knows--wearing a very pleased looking grin as she keeps her hands folded in front of her very professional like. She's wearing an orange sweater with yellow and white stripped sleeves (like candy corn) that has a very happy looking bat on the front of it. She's also wearing a pair of very thick horn rimmed glasses that..are definitely not hers. They probably belong to whoever owns the desk actually.

In front of her and set off to the left just the slightest is a handmade and very glittery sign in orange and black that reads "Halloween Expert".

Oh boy.]


Hello ladies and gentleman! My name's Mabel Pines and I wanted to let you all know about an important service that I'm here to offer to you!

[She reaches up now to tilt the glasses down so she can peer over then, grin widening.]

Halloween Costume Expert!

[The glasses are pushed back up and Mabel stands up on the chair, her head out of view of the 'gear briefly before it's readjusted so she can be seen again, a Gastly appearing over her shoulder all spooky like as she throws her arms up.]

That's right! I'm here to help you put together the most amazing costume ever! Need ideas? I can help! Need help making it? Don't look anywhere else!

[Mabel's eyes go wide and she puts a hand to her cheek.]

But Mabel, what does this kind of thing cost? --I bet that's what your asking yourself! [She's grinning again and yep. Yep she's definitely related to Stan Pines.] All you have to do is provide materials and snacks and I'll take care of the rest! So don't hesitate to give me a call and I'll be your totally awesome Halloween Professional this year!

[She throws her arms up as the Gastly behind her let's out a happy, shrill cry, tongue hanging out--

just as the sound of a door opening can be heard.]


Hey--what are you doing in here?

[Both Mabel and Wisp's eyes go wide, the pair momentarily frozen before Mabel is launching herself across the desk to grab her 'gear.]

We've been spotted! GO GO GO!

[The video turns on the reveal a glowing egg smack in the middle of Viridian. It's at an angle that indicates the user is on the ground, not that it seems to matter because once the egg finishes it's glow, it reveals an Onix.

Hope clearly needed to do more research because --]


Whoa, it's huge!

[And that long, nearly 30ft rock snake was leaning in to the camera and Hope. Hello, world! It rumbles a bit and then quite suddenly, Hope is dropping the 'Gear is the massive rock head is snuggling him and, now seen from the ground, lifting him right into the air! Hope clings a bit to the ridge on top while Minccino is yelling at it to clearly put their trainer down!]

O-Onix, please! I don't think now is the time for this!

[Someone help Hope get down from the affectionate Onix? Its tail is rubbing at Hope's back, yup, very affectionate. Also, ow, that kind of hurt.]

Oh I hope I'm doing this right!

[That sure is a very large, very pink woman filling the gear screen. Entirely filling, she's holding it rather close to her face as she beams into it with an expression of pure wonder. Say hello to your newest trainer: Rose Quartz.]

It's just this is all so strange! I wasn't expecting any of this at all!

[Rose isn't entirely sure what she had been expecting. It wasn't the sort of thing a mind, even one like hers, could really conceive of. Mostly she'd had a general idea of...warm pink nothingness. A swirling emptiness, which didn't make any sense, because emptiness and nothingess weren't things that could actually be experienced.]

[Waking up in a cute little human house with a cute little human woman named Mom - what a funny name for a human! - was about as difficult to conceive. But here she was. And beyond the strangeness of finding herself here, still existing and entirely herself...she's entirely human! Really really human! And she's already made new friends, even though it feels like she's only been here for a few minutes. Even as a human - or maybe especially as a human - time was so strange.]

[But it's all so wonderful!]

[Finally pulling the gear back some, Rose smiles brightly. A red trainer's cap is perched atop her mountain of pink hair. While there's a great deal she doesn't know, she does know that this little communication device will let her talk to all the other people who live here. Or at least the ones like her, who weren't born to this planet. And how amazing to think that humans existed somewhere else! There was so much more to the universe than she'd ever imagined, and her knowledge and imagination were vast things.]


Hello, Pokemon and Trainers! It's so wonderful to meet you all! I'm Rose Quartz. I'm still not sure how I can even be here, but I'm so happy I am. This is such a beautiful world, I've seen so many new things already...

I can't wait to get to know you all and learn all about...everything!

[Hello, world of Pokemon! It's your local cheerful reaper, all smiles and energy as usual for her. She seems to have dressed up for the occasion in a perfectly normal-looking light purple kimono with a simple cloudy pattern across it. Until one gets to the obi around her waist and realizes it's covered in little ghost Pokemon and also has a Mimikyu charm hanging off of it.

At least the cookies she's presenting look normal, though they are also slightly spooky.]


October is upon us, everybody! It's time to show appreciation to your local ghosts and have a little fun with tricks and treats! We're only just getting started over at Honeyed Soul, so if you're 'round the Goldenrod area please do pop in for a visit, we always like seeing people!

[Who's "we" exactly? Probably the Mimikyu in the foreground with a green ribbon tied around its neck, the various Phantump floating around in the background, and the Sylveon already nicking some cookies for himself to eat. Might be safe to say this lady has company indeed.]

For everyone that's new: hiya! I'm Botan, resident ghost lady and Pokemon breeder--I happen to run a sweets shop on the side, so if you were interested in work or wanted a sampler, I'm always free to chat! I can also chat with your Pokemon if that's needed, though I should hope it's not if you're getting along well!

[Yes it's safe to say Botan is in good spirits.]
