[003] Video

[oldestfriend]

[Dee has a look of quiet contemplation on her face as she turns on the Pokegear, but her trademark smile is back soon enough.]

Things have been a bit slow-going for me; turns out I twisted my ankle a bit last time. You know, I can't really say I like pain that much. Still, at least Ronmeer has been helping.

[The screen turns around, showing that she's sitting down against a tree. As it focuses on her ankle, a Magikarp just stares at the screen. Endlessly. Without blinking. Into your soul. Oh, and it's just kind of laying on her ankle.]

He makes a handy ice pack. Are all Magikarp supposed to be this cold?

[The screen turns away from the soul-staring devil fish (who may or may not be in a coma) and back to Dee.]

I think I'm getting close to the next town, so that's a plus! It'll be great to have a bed again. I wonder if this is what Heather was thinking about before?

((ooc: This is my excuse and I'm stickin' to it.))

[video] I CAN ENGLISH, REALLY sob

[Cas has decided that perhaps it's better if he doesn't question the logistics of pokémon. So, he's just going to ignore that fish on your ankle there, and instead be more curious about your pain comment.]

You haven't felt pain before?

[video]

[oldestfriend.livejournal.com]

I know I have before, but it's been a really long while. Years.

_{[A nice cozy century, as a matter of fact.]}

Usually anything really bad, I can't remember. Just kind of fades to black. Everything minor is more neat than anything.

"Neat"?

_{[What his coffee buddy is injured? How and why did this happen?]}

I hope you'll let someone check up on you when you get to town.

_{[He smiles a little.]}

Where are you?

_{[She rode a Missingno like it was a mechanical bull is what and regrets nothing.]}

Will do! I'm still on Rouuuuute 30, I think it is. But I'm close, I checked the map.

It doesn't hurt as much now, so I think I'm getting better. Ronmeer has been the best help.

Re: [video]

[tapestodiane]

<sub>[she WHAT.]

[He takes a moment to check the map himself.]</sub> So your destination is Violet? That's where I'm at, actually, and I'll most likely be staying through the festival. I suppose you will be as well?

I'm glad to hear it. He ... certainly looks helpful. _{[The slight hesitation there is one of amusement.]}

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

Yeah, it sucks getting hurt here. [He himself has (visible anyway) a nasty yellow-green bruise on one shoulder, and a large half-healed scrape above his left eye. Woo missingno fights.] So what happened to you?

[video]

[oldestfriend.livejournal.com]

_{[Anyone who's someone was fighting them.]}

Rode a Missingno. I took a rib!

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

Really? I guess that's kind of impressive. [He grins at her.]

Was it one of those flying skeleton ones then? [Now he looks somewhat smug.] That's the kind I fought too.

[video]

[redcinematics.livejournal.com]

I too had to grow accustomed to my lack of endurance. Do rest up, my lady.

[He ponders his next question.] What is the closest town?

[video]

[oldestfriend.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the concern, Grell. I will.

Violet City is next on the map. I have a friend waiting for me there, so it won't be too bad.

I'm sure Dee-san will recover in no time at all! As long as you keep the weight off your foot as much as possible, it should be fine after a few days.

[Video] Why do I imagine hearts everywhere when these two talk?

[oldestfriend.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Fay-tan! I'll be sure to get better soon.

I'm close to a town, so there won't be much to worry about at all.

[Video] Because it would totally be hearts and sparkles everywhere!

[usedclamp.livejournal.com]

I have no doubt of that! Dee-san is so perseverant, after all~ Once you get to a town, you'll be able to properly care for it.

[video]

...

[ Kisa looks a bit concerned, possibly for both the lady (who may be pinging reincarnated tiger senses just a wee bit) and the soul-staring devil fish. Because it looks somewhat dazed. ]

[video]

[oldestfriend.livejournal.com]

I think it's his way of showing he cares!

...Are you okay?

_{[Dee has pinged into that she's a bit strange sometimes.]}

[video]

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

[ Kisa quickly nods; aside from still being unable to make herself speak, she's perfectly fine. And she's not the one with a fish ice pack. ]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Wellp, I'd say most people don't like pain... _{[Also ugh that Magikarp ugh. Heather's already decided that those things are creepy as hell. She got rid of her own eerily-wall-eyed one a good while back.]}

And ahahah, believe me, once you lie down on something that's not covered in roots or rocks, you will enter a state of ecstasy unrivaled by anything I can think of.

It's that good.

_{[Heather knows what she's talking about. A whole month is a long time to go without sleeping indoors. At least when you're used to having a bed.]}

[Video]

[oldestfriend.livejournal.com]

_{[The stare will never leave you, Heather. It will haunt you forever and ever. NO ESCAPE. This thing cannot possibly evolve into a Gyarados, it will evolve into a Silent Hill thing, that is how bad it is.]}

Ecstasy, huh? I wouldn't mind a little bit of that- I had some coffee in Cherrygrove and it was great.

The way you talk about this sounds like it's going to be even better.

_{[Dee has some pretty low standards when it comes to a great time.]}

[Video]

[disdainfortrash.livejournal.com]

[Offering help doesn't come naturally to him. But he doesn't really have any issues with 'Dee'. After nearly thirty seconds of silence, he finally speaks. Quietly]

I can help you if you need it.

[Video]

[oldestfriend.livejournal.com]

_{[Oh hey there, strange little smile again. She's just as quiet right back.]}

Are you sure it wouldn't be too much of a problem for you?

[action] I hope it's cool he's nearby still XD

[greedismyname.livejournal.com]

[Greed walks over with his pokemon in tow, Scout peeping over his shoulder at Dee as Lucky trots beside him]

How's that ankle doin', pretty lady? I think it's just another klick 'r two t' Violet. [Grinning, he sits down beside her, careful not to disturb her ankle.] If you want, I c'n carry you.

((ooc: btw, this is a bit random, but I don't think Greed knows his Sentret, Scout, is female. This may produce hilarity later XD))

[action] Totally, I should have put that in the post orz

[oldestfriend.livejournal.com]

[She puts away her gear as he approaches, smiling widely as usual.] It's getting much better. I'm probably not helping it by being so restless, but I'm doing okay anyway. Ronmeer is great!

[She reaches down to pat the Magikarp, whose eyes roll into the back of his head. There's an awkward pause, and then they roll back.]

...I wonder if he's chemically unbalanced...? [She shakes her head before looking back to Greed.] I hope you remember you're human; you can't carry me all the way to Violet.

_{(ooc: Oh, Greed. XD That'll be a fun surprise. Dee's here for all your breeding needs if you need 'em!)}

[originofawesome]

[Prussia's used to his own Magikarp staring into his soul. Damn thing.]

So it's useful for something.

[He's still humiliated with being stuck with something so useless.]

[oldestfriend.livejournal.com]

_{[Clearly their Magikarp should meet. It can be a horrifying romance.]}

Everything's useful for something. You just have to get creative every once in a while.
