Two Ghosts

[There's a shock of dark brown hair visible at first- After a moment the camera travels down to reveal Norman looking into the gear. He offers an awkward half-smile.]

So, I guess I made it all the way to Violet City. Not alone, or anything, but- I'm still really surprised I did it. It's a lot harder than camping, and the weather was pretty gross, too.

I think we're going to stay here for a little while. I heard that the gym is pretty hard and I kind of want to try and get a badge.

Oh- That reminds me.

[Norman isn't usually one to show off or anything, but he's kind of proud of this, so he shuffles a bit shyly before he shifts the gear's camera to a Hoothoot.]

This is Hopkins. I caught him. Um, well, with help from Ellis. I don't think we would have found him if he hadn't run into that tree.

[There's a long ...sort of awkward pause where Norman doesn't know what else to say. He makes a few uncertain faces before he shrugs.]

That's all, I guess. Uh.

[And the feed ends.]

[Open for action in Violet City, as well. He's just going to be walking around with his Duskull out and about, exploring the city.]

[Hey, look, a little kid who's hella socially awkward. PARKER CAN RELATE. ...which is a rare event in and of itself.

Also that owl's pretty cool. It's like a ball. Owlball.]


Like Anthony Hopkins?

[TURTLE TURTLE TURTLE TURTLE. But she lit right up at the mention of horror movies, though. She has fond memories of movie nights.]

You met a zombie? What's a Shedinja? Does it eat people's brains?

Whoa.

[Color her impressed. Or, well, as impressed as you can be by an animate ghostly husk bug. Which in Parker's case is kind of a lot, as it turns out.]

You're really going for all the spooky ones, huh? He looks super creepy.

[Look, it's another Hoothoot - goggled, of course! Coo is the friendly one, after all. Raz isn't actually at the 'gear right now, though - he's just off-screen, in the grass of Route 7. Outskirts of Saffron, of course. He's just kind of left his 'gear there as he trains up his new Sableye and Eevee - in the background, you may even see the three battling a rather nasty Electrike. (He's got R there to help, too, of course.)

So that is why a Hoothoot is tapping at the screen, at the other Hoothoot.]
razputin: (GASP.)

[Aah!! Coo suddenly starts speaking, when she sees the other is paying attention!]
Hoot Hoot! Hello! Who are you? I saw your trainer talking to my second trainer once! Hooooooot~! My name is Coo! I'm super strong, from the very first route. I took down a whole gym by myself, which was kind of sad, because I wanted my friends to help kick butt. Hoooot.
[...Coo gets it from belonging to Kirby at first. She's a talkative one.]

Oh yeah, Ellis, I remember him, the guy who was trying to get his pig la-- [little kid, Blake, watch your fucking mouth] a boyfriend. He ran into a tree hard enough to knock an owl out?

[he eyes the bird] So that's what wouldn't shut up at night on the road. Looks like yours is missing a foot.
lieutenantantichrist: (all these mopes in bracelets)

[personal profile] lieutenantantichrist 2013-03-10 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, I already have another kid getting on my back to clean up my language.

That makes sense for owls, but doesn't explain how anybody ran into a tree.

[Blake looks into the bird's big orange eyes.] Maybe he's just stupid.

[A Snubbull's pink head shoves into the frame. Steve wants to see!]

[Of course, having out a Pokemon as rare as a Duskull wandering around with you is bound to draw some attention.

Particularly from other Duskulls, like the one currently floating over to check this out.
]

Ah! Orpheus, where are you going?

[Ilya follows the floating skull face, followed closely by a gallomphing mass of rock and spikes (otherwise known as a Rhyhorn). She stops when she sees what caught her Duskull's eye.]

Oh. Well hello there! [She beams at Norman.]
dressofheaven: (It's cute... squish it Berserker)

[personal profile] dressofheaven 2013-03-10 08:38 am (UTC)(link)
[She giggles merrily at his reaction to her Rhyhorn.]

That's a new one. Usually it's Orpheus that scares people, not Berserker. Unless he's charging them, anyway, but that only happens if we're in battle.

[The distresssingly-named Rhyhorn snorts and tosses his head while Orpheus laughs and floats around with Romero.]

I haven't seen another Duskull in forever! Your trainer has good taste.

foolishwren: but whatever the hell is wrong with him is WAY funnier (honestly i COULD fix him)

[Aw, Hoothoots. Heather has fond memories of catching one around that are, too.]

The weather shapes up in the summer. Camping in early spring is pretty much balls so you might wanna wait till it warms up to move on from Violet.
foolishwren: but carving "DIE QUICK SUCK DICK" into a tree instead of "CROATOAN" (disappearing like the roanoke colonists)

[Video] THAT'S OKAY

[personal profile] foolishwren 2013-03-18 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

I always feel bad for anyone who shows up here in winter. 'Cuz like... after a point, you can always choose to stay close to town during the colder months. But people who get dumped in New Bark have to hike just to get to civilization.

When I got here, it was the middle of summer. So I was pretty lucky.

It damn sure was a lot of hard work gettin' here, but it was totally worth it!

[Ellis is. Responding with video, even though he could probably easily go find Norman wherever he actually is.]

Man, that was a wild night, wasn't it? But totally awesome! Our Hoothoots are so cool. I'm glad we did that! Even if my nose kinda still hurts sometimes. Y'know, I think it's actually a little crooked now? I dunno... But oh well, I'd do it again if I had to!

Well... does it look crooked to you?

[Here Norman, he's just going to lean in close to the camera so that you can get a real good look at it.]

If ya see any treasure, I apologize in advance.
