Chapter 32; Video/Action for Violet City

[[Today you're greeted with a rare sight. Not only is Rose wet and dressed in a rather cute Dratini themed bikini, but she's outside and wearing a rather smug grin.]]

Dave, I would just like to show you this little gem.

[[And here she holds the Violet City badge up to the camera.]]

I thought I would give you a good week or so to obtain it first, seeing as I was already a badge ahead of you, but this is getting ridiculous. I think I will change my goal of only obtaining useful badges. From here out, I will work towards all of them. We'll make this a competition, how's that sound? A friendly sibling rivalry.

Who can come to possess all eight badges first? Lalonde? Or Strider?

[[Chuckling, she tucks the badge back in her bag, straightening once more.]]

That said, I felt a celebration was in order. And, seeing as it is so warm out, what better way to celebrate than with a little summer party? John, Dave, you are both expected to attend, and I will not take no for an answer. You might want to dress water friendly.

Anyone else in the Violet area is perfectly welcome to come as well.

[[From here, the camera is turned, apparently to show of various attractions as she begins explaining everything.]]

We're equipped with Insufferable Prick, resident sprinkler system. The newest addition to my team, Haze, can offer plenty of cooler temperatures being an Ice Pokemon. Halos is more than willing to fetch you snacks or beverages if you'd like.

[[Back to Rose.]]

And of course your Pokemon are all quite welcome too. The more the merrier, right?

[[With a tiny wave, she shuts the feed off.]]

((OOC: Badge is mod approved!))

They're cuter. [[Shaking her head at the mention of a Haunter design, she laughs.]]

Please John. Do you really need more Haunter themed clothing? Why not a water type? After all, they're swim trunks.

Didn't have the room to, back home? Or just never enough time?

[Because either way, he is so going to start doing that more for you. :|]

[identity profile] usedtherapy.livejournal.com 2011-08-08 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
More like not enough reason. It was just mother and myself living at home, and we lived quite a ways away from the nearest city. No friends or acquaintances to really invite over.

And mother...well. If I wanted one, she would have given me one anyway, but I have a feeling it wouldn't be the same without friends to enjoy it with and nothing but a passive aggressive alcoholic to keep you company.

[He blinks a bit at that, but nods; almost understandingly. Considering Wes was the same (minus the alcoholism) and his parents nearly ignored him...]

We'll just have to drag you out of the house a ton then, huh?
I'm sure Maka'n Jade wouldn't mind having you hang around a bunch.

Hopefully you wouldn't mind having John along as well either, as I will be bringing him along too. And Dave, I'm sure, would love to follow.

[There's an eyeroll on this end. And eyeroll that you can't see, Rose, but it's still there.]

Rose, please. You and I both know it's impossible to have too much Haunter-themed clothing. Besides it's not like I have that much. Just pajama pants and boxer shorts...and that one shirt. In the end, I guess it will just depend on what they have in stock.

[snerk]

Not at all. The more the merrier, you know?

[His life basically functioned off that rule, back home. This'll be no different!]

[identity profile] usedtherapy.livejournal.com 2011-08-08 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
[[She can hear it in his voice.]]

John, variety is the spice of life, as they say.

[[And that is all she has to say on the matter. Well, until she adds in an afterthought, quite playfully.]]

I had no idea you had Haunter themed boxers as well.

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-08 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
Alright. Fine then. I'll look for Duskull swim trunks, how's that for spicy variety? [Oh snap!]

Uh...well. Now you do! [Nervous laugh.]

You are Dave Strider's sister? I don't think I was aware of that relationship.

[identity profile] usedtherapy.livejournal.com 2011-08-08 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Indeed I am. To be honest, it's still a slightly new discovery and concept for me, however it's not turning out to be as terrible as I thought it might.

[identity profile] p2iioniichacker.livejournal.com 2011-08-08 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I might have to come, then! It gives me something to do, I'm starting to get bored here again otherwise and there's only so much training I can do.

Maybe FF would like to come help me pick something. I'll have to ask her.

He has a strong personality. But then again, so do you.

Congratulations on your badge! Good luck on winning all those badges!

[identity profile] usedtherapy.livejournal.com 2011-08-09 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you very much Luke. And I will certainly need the luck, I'm sure. Falkner was merely easy because I waited until my Pokemon were well over the recommended level for challenging him. I'm sure those later on will be far more difficult.

Are you collecting the badges?

[Audio]

[identity profile] usedtherapy.livejournal.com 2011-08-09 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm, he does indeed. Though I admire that about him. [[A chuckle.]] I hadn't actually started looking at similarities between us quite yet, or really noticing more than those on a physical basis. Interesting that that's the first one you'd bring up.

[identity profile] usedtherapy.livejournal.com 2011-08-09 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
My sentiments exactly. I had a feeling everyone could likely use a little distraction.

It would likely be fun if she does, and she is of course welcome to come along too if she wishes.

[identity profile] usedtherapy.livejournal.com 2011-08-09 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Duskull? Why am I unsurprised.

And yes. Yes I do. [[Just another small smirk, this one more victorious than anything.]] I hope that doesn't make you too uncomfortable.

[Skeptical look. If water friendly clothing is looking half naked like that, she's a little unsure about it.]

Yeah, yeah okay. Maybe I'll come by.

[She will, just give her some time to shoplift a bathing suit and such.]

[identity profile] p2iioniichacker.livejournal.com 2011-08-09 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
She'd probably like that a lot, especially if you're doing water things. I think the only problem here is expecting her to wait long enough to buy me water clothes before she just runs off to go to your party, ehehe. She's pretty excitable like that.

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-09 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
Hey. Don't knock Duskull, they're awesome too. Don't even try to deny the fact that you think my Dusknoir is amazing.

But uh...no not too uncomfortable. I mean, it's not like you've seen me in them or anything. So...just talking about them is fine.
eclectical: (jade: check pokegear.)

Oh? [Color Jade curious... :3] And that works!

[identity profile] usedtherapy.livejournal.com 2011-08-09 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. Apparently, John has had a date planned for Goldenrod, but we left before he had the chance to invite me. So we're planning on going once we've reached Goldenrod once more. I'm curious...and quite excited.

[[Jade, you have no idea how long she's been wanting to talk to you about all of this. She's just been waiting for the perfect time to turn the conversation in the right direction.]]

[identity profile] usedtherapy.livejournal.com 2011-08-09 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Did I say anything about the possibility of Duskull being anything but awesome? And yes, Elliot is quite astounding.

And...that's true. That's good. I'm glad to hear that.

[identity profile] usedtherapy.livejournal.com 2011-08-09 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps wait until you've bought them before telling her what they are for? Mention that they are for swimming, and then invite her to come to the gathering with you.
