Chapter 32; Video/Action for Violet City

[tentacletrainer]

[[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!))

[Oh jeez. That is...that is more skin than he is used to seeing on Rose. So text for now, because he can't stop staring open mouthed and his face is rather reminiscent of a tomato.]

[[Text? Why the text, John? He's replied to with video, and a very sly smirk.]]

I suppose you had best purchase yourself something water friendly. Jeans take a while to dry, don't they? And why the text, hmm?

[Gdi, Rose. Why'd you have to call him out on the text? And the video responses really aren't helping.]

Yes you really have to. You have no choice in the matter. And is it? Is there a particular reason why it's easier? After all, one would think speaking your mind would be far more simple than typing it out.

Congrats, Rose.

I'd come to your party but I don't know if I have anything water friendly to wear.

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much, Sollux, and you're still welcome to come despite! We do, after all, possess food and drink. And despite Insufferable Prick's name, he won't get you wet if you don't want to.

Of course if you'd like to join in the water activities, the clothing store here actually has quite a selection of swimwear you could purchase.

[p2iioniichacker.livejournal.com]

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.

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

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.

[Vriska's slightly frowny. She kinda wants to go, but at the same time Rose will be there, and well, she might have to interact with her. Face-to-face even.]

What exactly is water friendly clothing?

Video;

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

Usually clothing made specifically for swimwear, such as bathing suits or bikinis for girls, swim trunks for boys. But really you are capable of getting wet in anything so long as you either have a dry outfit to change into, or don't mind sitting around waiting to dry off.

[[You're welcome to come, Vriska. This is a friendly get together after all~]]

[8etterl8.livejournal.com]

[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.]

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

[[Well Vriska, if you wanted, she could help show you some not so skimpy water friendly clothing. She's more than happy to assist~]]

Come by whenever. You're always invited.

[[Oh good! Though really, you should buy it. Stealing is bad you know.]]

Congrats on the badge there, Rose -- too bad I won't be there for the party.

[He'll be too busy bunking with Soujibro and the rest at the breeding centre; moving starts soon after all!]

[video]

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

Thank you Soul, and that is a shame. We will simply have to throw a party upon our return, so that you and Jade may take part. After all, I will be gaining the badge there as well.

[[Exciting! Rose will be glad to help if she gets there soon enough.]]

[video]

[soulcool.livejournal.com]

Dude -- I'm sure we'd be up for a party any time; especially if it's late enough for food to be involved.

Get your badge here in the evening so we can cook up a big dinner, alright? I could even get Souji to help too, I bet.

[Probably not -- but the sentiment's definitely appreciated!]

[video]

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

Perhaps one of those late night barbecues? That sounds like it would be quite enjoyable. I'll be sure to do just that.

[video]

[eclectical]

Congratulations, Rose!

That sounds like a lot of fun! I wish Soul and I could make it.

[video]

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much Jade. And I wish you could as well. It won't quite be the same without you!

As I said to Soul, we will just have to have another party once we reach Goldenrod once more to remedy this.

[video]

[eclectical]

Sounds good to me!

[dead-black-eyes.livejournal.com]

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

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

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.

[Audio]

[dead-black-eyes.livejournal.com]

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

[hintcoinplz.livejournal.com]

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

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

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?

[Video]

[hintcoinplz.livejournal.com]

They do like to keep you on your toes, huh! Falkner was a challenge for me back when I just had Mr. Bear.

I sure am!
