usedgalacticpunt | Bout 010 (Video/Action): Badges upon badges. (backdated to Tue. 6/14)

[The video opens in medias res, with a casual conversation going on in the Olivine Pokémon Center. It's not quite loud enough to hear any of the words, though. After a second or two, Chie orients the video on herself.]

Oh, hey, has anybody else noticed how the gym leaders are a little... weird? Me and my friends all challenged Jasmine today, so we could get the Surf TM and cross Route... 42, I think it was? And Jasmine gave us all the same lines from beginning to end. She was all like, "Properly tempered steel won't be made rusty by things like this!" And "You are a better trainer than me, in both skill and kindness." Like she was reading off a script or something!

But anyway, we all made it! I got Ecruteak's badge too, when we stopped there on Friday, so I'm up to four! [Chie shows off two badges to the camera.]

For anybody who's following our quest to rescue Souji-kun, we're leaving first thing tomorrow morning on the way back to Ecruteak. And from there, it's through Mahogany and on to the Ice Path! Just hold on, Souji-kun, we won't make you wait too much longer!

... What? Do I got something on my face?

You'd be defenseless against any of them?

[ and promptly-- she's decided not to pursue it ] I was just thinking what you'd look like with a beard.

...Well, it would depend how cute they were, I suppose.

Aha... so your type is cute celebrities?

[In a way, he's both glad and annoyed. Glad, because he'd rather not talk about it, but annoyed because he knows that it couldn't have gone by unnoticed.

Damn it.]

... The fuck?

It wouldn't really work on you-- you'd still be scowling like you sat on a hundred needles.

... Good to know? Man, I don't plan on gettin' a beard, believe me.

[...]

And it's not like I scowl constantly, thanks.

Hmm, maybe~

Awww, you're gonna play mysterious?

I wonder what makes liking and disliking something so different.

... Besides the obvious?

No, most of the time you look bored...

I suppose this means that you don't yet have a girlfriend.

Either way, you hold a strong opinion on the object.

The emotion's entirely different, though.

But the underlying force is the same. Repulsion, attraction - aren't they the same push-pull?

Is it? That's a bit unfortunate.

'Cause this place can get pretty boring, you know?

Aren't you making it sound too scientific here?

I know, but sometimes I don't mind that.

... Yeah, I guess the peace ain't so bad.

[... Better than what they've got going back home, in any case.]

Mm, maybe I should use water as an example, then. Upstream, downstream.

Nothing quite as inspirational as opening up a head and taking a look at what's inside.

More or less. Though I guess the rush is making the 'figuring out if we do, indeed, get along' part a bit difficult.

See? It might be boring, but it's better than everything falling to pieces all around you, right?
