[Video 03/Action]

[seasaltkey]

[The blond pops up on the screen with a background that is clearly not anywhere in Kanto. Heck, to the trained eye it's clearly Goldenrod. The Goldenrod Department store roof to be exact. Of course he'd find the tallest building in the entire place before anywhere useful, like a hotel.]

I got a question!

[He adjusts the screen as something off screen gets his attention.]

We can do that later, Demyx. [Attention back to the viewer.]

Are you supposed to tell people before or the day of that it's your birthday? Because I forgot to do it before leaving! I picked today! Sorry, Naminé and Xion. I was gonna tell you! I swear!

[His gaze drifts off of the screen before flicking back to the feed.]

Oh yeah! Where's the best place to take bird Pokémon in Goldenrod?


[ACTION]

[Roxas turned off the feed and stood there watching the sky for a while. Goldenrod wasn't as nice with the circus not in full swing. That had been fun. Maybe he could find something just as fun for his self-made birthday. Rin wouldn't be here for another week at least, so Roxas will take his time exploring.

He tells his Pokémon not to fly off too much in case he needs them, heading down to the bottom floor of the store to exit. Maybe he could find that Honeyed Soul place and get something sweet for himself. You're supposed to have cake, right?]

I don't know what a Honeyed Soul is supposed to look like...

Ooh, isn't it great up there? It really feels like you're flying! [Henry smiles brightly.] I had to leave Goldenrod about a week ago because I was really sick of all the gross polluted city stuff, but those skyscrapers sure have their benefits.

[seasaltkey]

Polluted? Is that why the city smells weird?

[This city is way different from Celadon.]

video

[cawsforalarm]

Yeah. It burns your nose, doesn't it? I dunno why that happens, but I sure never smelled anything like it before coming to Johto... but then again, this whole region is way different than what I had back home.

Not nearly as much concrete. Or metal. Or tall buildings. ...Or people.

Re: video

[seasaltkey]

It's a lot different from my home... I don't think I'll stay here that long, not if I can help it!

Re: video

[cawsforalarm]

Would not recommend staying. I've been living around there for a while, and it gets really old. Now I'm heading back down towards Azalea, because one of my Pokémon wanted to take on the Gym and I heard that Whitney is really tough.

video| yay! you're not gone!

[seasaltkey]

Oh yeah! I wanted to challenge her, too! I should do that... where should I go next?

video | nope, still here! i just missed the posts about AC because i untracked the comm somehow

[cawsforalarm]

Uh, after Whitney? I don't really know. This whole Gym Challenge thing still kind of rubs me the wrong way, but hey. If Chariot wants to do it, I'm not gonna be the one to stop him.

[seasaltkey]

I got the Rainbow Badge from Celadon so I could use Fly. I don't really need other badges... well, maybe the one that lets me use Surf!

[Practical!]

If your Pokémon wants to battle, you should let it. It'll make it happier.

video

[cawsforalarm]

Yeah, I know. I've never really had one that wanted to battle before, and I never really liked the idea of putting my friends in harm's way just for sport, you know?

But now I have one who actually wants to battle. So maybe I'll ask the others about it.

video

[seasaltkey]

I've got a couple of those. They know that they want, so I don't really stop them.

Ask them? Do you have a psychic type?

video

[cawsforalarm]

No, I can talk to Pokémon.

[You know. No big deal.]

video

[seasaltkey]

Really? That's cool!.... like, all the time?

video

[cawsforalarm]

Yep, all the time. Since I was born.

When dogs start howling in the dead of night about how much they want a mate? I hear that.

video

[seasaltkey]

... I don't want a power like that. It's hard enough when Fuu and Sky decide to sing to the moon at night. I don't wanna know what they sing about.

video

[cawsforalarm]

Oh, don't get me wrong! I think it's a great power! I'd be miserable if I lost it.

video

[seasaltkey]

Yeah, but doesn't it get annoying?

video

[cawsforalarm]

Well, yeah. Same as breathing gets annoying when you smell something gross.

Doesn't mean I want to stop breathing forever.

video

[seasaltkey]

That's true... I guess you're used to it. It's different.

video

[cawsforalarm]

Yeah, exactly!

You'd get lonely if you stopped being able to talk to people, right? So would I, if I stopped being able to talk to animals.

video

[seasaltkey]

Do you like talking to animals or humans more?

video

[cawsforalarm]

Animals! Definitely. Far and away. Animals, 100%.

Humans are okay, but they have sort of a bad track record with me.

video

[seasaltkey]

Humans aren't that bad. Not the ones I've met here, anyways.

[Being a real human is weird.]

video

[cawsforalarm]

Yeah... I'm starting to see that the ones here are better.

But almost everyone at home? I could do without 'em.

video

[seasaltkey]

Uhm.. can't really say anything about back home. I like it here a lot more.

video

[cawsforalarm]

Eh? What do you mean, you can't say?
