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

[usedgalacticpunt]

[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!


[OOC: You may have already won the chance to be tagged by others in Chie's traveling group! This is a limited-time offer, so comment today! Or any time, really.]

Long story and a lot of walking short, the Ice Path.

Do you normally get your inspiration from head trauma, then?

I would certainly imagine she does. Are you all getting along?

You've got something else to protect.

[foolishwren]

... JEEZ. That's... that's like on the other side of the continent. What're you going there for?

Don't go dating celebrities, Yuushi-- okay? ♥

To pick up our leader! He got tossed there whenever that... weird weekend happened!

Really? The uh-- Souji, right? What a shitty place to wind up...

It's his second time, too.

I can still think they're cute, you know?

Well, it's a good thing you're single.

[... a beat]

What?

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Exactly! It's a long story, and I don't really have the time to tell it right now.

[bakaitoukid]

-- oi! You can't say something like that and not elaborate!

Oh, I should see if everyone wants to do ramen tonight--

[ why, yes. Yes, she can. ]

[He looks startled at that—for as good of a liar he is, he's honestly taken by surprise by that.]

[And then he regains his composure, smirking.]

Sorry, but that 'knight' kind of crap ain't really for me.

[ Rise doesn't respond this time-- because she saw that, and something's telling her that she needs to remember it. So for now, she'll just study him thoughtfully. ]

But what if one asks? I'd be defenseless to say no.
