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.]

What brings you all the way over here, anyway?

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

[ she accepts, tucking it behind her ear. ] We're on a rescue mission.

[grinning as she does so] Whose the damsel in distress?

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

My senpai! So don't call him a damsel.

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

Not even jokingly?

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Do you really want a bear tackling you?

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

Would I really get tackled by a bear?

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, Teddie wouldn't hold back.

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

. . .

That guy...

[restardom.livejournal.com]

...?

[bakaitoukid]

The weird bear guy. I didn't know he was a friend of yours.

Oh, Teddie? He's a teammate!

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

Teammate?

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Yep, teammate.

[ so helpful. ]

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

[with a bit of a deadpan]

That's descriptive.

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

It was a weird team. I could describe it and you still wouldn't get it.

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

Try me.

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Murders.

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

[... a beat]

What?

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

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

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

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

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

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

[ why, yes. Yes, she can. ]

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

Riiiiiise!
