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.]

Well, if she really is an NPC, she probably can't. How tragic.

[restardom.livejournal.com]

It means the real cute girls stand a better chance.

[video]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

But of course. That's how it should be~

[video]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

But of course!

I'm not sure why someone would want to date a gym leader, anyway. They can't be very interesting.

[video]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's like being attracted to strong people? For the fame, maybe.

[video]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

Hm, I suppose that could do it. You wouldn't get a lot of time together, though, what with all the battling.

[video]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Well, that's like dating anyone famous! If it's not battles, it's sports or your work... I think that'd be hard for a lot of people, dating a celebrity.

[video]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

I guess that's why they so often end up dating each other, then. At least that way they're used to it already.

[video]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

I guess, but... I don't know if I'd want to do that.

[video]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

Oh? Why not?

[video]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Double the tabloids and the crazy schedules and who knows if I'd get asked out for being me, or if it was just because you get even more noticed if you date another celebrity--

[video]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

...ah. Fair enough.

In that case, how do celebrities ever date at all?

[video]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

I don't think a lot of them are long-term, but that's a good question!

[ single lady here. ]

[video]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

It sounds rather trying...

[video]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

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

[video]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

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

[video]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

You'd be defenseless against any of them?

[video]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

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

[video]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Aha... so your type is cute celebrities?

[video]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

Hmm, maybe~

[video]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Awww, you're gonna play mysterious?

[video]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

It's what I do best~

[video]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

... You must be exhausted, then.

[video]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

[short pause-- that was not the expected reaction.]

Mmm. You get used to it.
