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.]

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.

[ Rise tends to not do the expected when she isn't following a direction. As such, she only offers him a quiet smile. ]

Or you burn out... but you're probably not the type.

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

[chuckles, though it's perhaps a tad darker than usual] No, no I'm not.

[ the thoughtfulness in which she studies him goes hidden under Rise's usual layer of cheer and harmless curiosity. Not the time to pry. ]

No, I'd say you're more the romantic type. Tall, dark, and mysterious? Then there's the glasses--

[video]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

[grins!] Oh, good, I have gotten the point across, then~

[video]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

But now I'm curious!

[video]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

That's also the point, yes.

[video]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

You're no fun, Yuushi.

[video]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

What? Really? I am wounded, Rise-chan.

[video]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Then I'll just figure it out myself!

[video]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

Figure out what, exactly?

[video]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

I wonder.

[ calmly. ]

[video]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

[just chuckles.] Well, good luck with that.

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'll keep at it.
