♦ 002 ; video / action for ecruteak

[skirtchases]

Hey guys! It's been a while since I've been on here, huh?

Um...right now, I'm in Ecruteak to help out with the play that the lovely Minnie's putting on. So if you're around, come on and watch it!

[Hm...he's thinking about it for a moment. In the background, there's Zidane's Aipom with one of the newer additions to his party - a Ralts. Right now, the small Pokemon was sleeping with a doll, and the Aipom was attempting to steal it out of the Ralts' hands.

Taking after his trainer, huh? Well, Zidane's oblivious. In fact, he's just going to keep going:]

You know, I'm curious. How many of you guys are theater people out there? It's okay if you're not going to be here, but...what's your favorite play to watch? Other worlds have got to have different plays, right?

Just a thought!

[And the feed cuts with him still oblivious to the Aipom's thieving.]

[usedshooshpap]

Oh man. Theater is such a fucking obsolete art form on our planet. Ever since the movie industry kicked off, and well with the adults being shipped off, there wasn't much point in reviving it.

voice;

[skirtchases]

Is it? I wouldn't have thought there'd be a time where theater would be obsolete...

[But--]

Movie industry?

[What are movies?]

voice;

[usedshooshpap]

It's like watching a play only with amazing graphics and shit on one of these screens. Only bigger.

voice;

[skirtchases]

Huh, that sounds kinda cool to me. But I don't know, I think it'd still be nice to see it in person sometimes.

voice;

[usedshooshpap]

Ha ha. Fuck that. I have no desire to be in the same breathing space as an adult troll until I am one.

That's fucking dangerous.

[video]

[paladinlost]

Are you? I'll have to-

[Well, that's not very nice.]

Young Aipom, if I were you I'd stop that immediately.

[video]

[skirtchases]

Huh?

[He looks around, and then gasps.] Hey, stop that!

[Zidane disappears from the screen for a few seconds, and there's a commotion as he drags the Aipom away from the feed and away from the still-sleeping Ralts. There's a little bit of fussing in the background, before he finally returns.]

Thanks for catching that, Cecil. He takes a lot after me, don't you think?

[video]

[paladinlost]

He should take after the parts of you that are less likely to lead to his arrest. Or a painful Psychic attack, depending on his target.

[video]

[skirtchases]

[Oops. He's just going to laugh a little nervously.]

Haha...good thing his victim was sleeping this time, huh? And do they even arrest Pokemon?

[video]

[paladinlost]

I've no idea, though I doubt you wish to find out.

[KITTEN CHILD ATTAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK]

ZANE! ZAAAANE!

Action

[skirtchases]

[OH WHOA.

He stumbles a little bit, and then looks down. Oh, it's Chi!

He grins, rubbing her head a little bit and laughs.]

Hey there! So we finally meet in person, huh?

Re: Action

[usedscratch]

[NONE OF YOU ARE SAFE.]

Myaaaa! Chi is so happy to see you!

Action

[skirtchases]

[OHBOY. Not that Zidane minds though, really.]

I'm happy to see you to! I'm glad you got here safely!

Re: Action

[usedscratch]

Is Zane's tail back yet? Chi's is not.

[foolishwren]

_{[... Oh man. Aipoms... As someone who recently inherited one, Zidane has all her sympathies. ... But she's not going to say anything about it, because when it's not happening to HER, it's hilarious.]}

I was never really a theater kid, but I always thought I could've been pretty good if I tried.

Musicals're pretty fun to watch.

Like, the older ones.

West Side Story and Singin' in the Rain and stuff.

[Video]

[skirtchases]

[Not that he minds the Aipom too much; birds of a feather and all that. Basically, he's Zidane as a Pokemon.

Which...might be bad sometimes, but he doesn't generally mind it.]

What're those about? I don't think I've heard of them before...

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Gangs that fight using rad dance moves, and the death of the silent film industry, respectively.

[Video]

[skirtchases]

Huh. The gangs I get, but the silent film industry...I kinda don't.

I guess it's just something in your world, huh?

[video]

[notcrackers]

My world doesn't really do plays, I think. It's hard to tell when you're stuck in a nowhere town so far north nobody ever visits. [Ritz is smiling crookedly at the video feed.]

I mean, we had some old, boring 'classics' they'd have us read the scripts of in classes, but those were usually some kind of ridiculous moral story.

[video]

[skirtchases]

I guess that would put a little bit of a damper on things, wouldn't it?

[Hm...]

Classics aren't always that bad, though. It just depends, really.

[video]

[bluedespitebeing]

I love theater! Back home, I wanted to be an actress.

[video]

[skirtchases]

Oh really? That's a pretty good aspiration, there!

I hope it happens for you, when you get back home.

[video]

[bluedespitebeing]

[Oh... Right, that. That could be complicated for a few reasons. Lisa puts on a week smile anyway.]

I'm afraid it's not very likely...

[video]

[skirtchases]

[Oh.]

I said something wrong, didn't I? I'm...I'm sorry.

[He hadn't meant to upset her. :c]
