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!))

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Indeed. Flareon the fire type, Jolteon the electric, and Vaporeon the water. [[Petting Haze idly, she chuckles.]] And don't take it personally, John. She's like this with everyone. She always has been, from what I could tell.

[[...i-if you say so. ono]]

Take it personally? Never! If she's shy then she's shy, there's nothing wrong with that.

Alright. You just seemed a little sad is all.

[[And off Haze goes to snuggle with her mother. Or sunbathe with her anyway.]]

Well, maybe a little but now that I know it's because she's shy and not because she doesn't like me or something...

Not at all. Don't worry.

This is me, not worrying. See? [And with that, he flops onto his back and looks over at her, grinning.]

[[Chuckling in return, she sighs and closes her eyes, crossing an arm behind her head and resting the other down to take his hand.]]

Good. I hate it when you worry.

[Too bad he forgot that Sassacre was still sitting on his head. He probably should have worried a little before flopping back like that. There's a disgruntled as the small snake lands flat on his back and wiggles a bit, trying to roll himself over. It's hard to do that when you don't have limbs, but with the help of his wings, he manages to right himself and begins floating away towards Prick.]

[Raising his head up a bit, he turns to face the tiny snake, slightly distraught.] Oh god, Sassacre I'm so sor- [John's cut off by a whap to the cheek from the Dunsparce's drill of a tail as he passes by. He loves you, John, but that was really quite rude.] --ry. Ugh. [And laying his head back down, staring straight ahead.]

Poor Sassacre. [[Squeezing his hand a little, she smiles over at him.]] At least it was merely a pap from his tail, and not an attack of any sort. You aren't too injured, are you?

[Return hand squeeze.] Yeah...I'm fine. I just feel bad because I upset him and possibly hurt him. And I didn't mean to I just...forget he's up there half the time because I've gotten so used to it.

I'm sure he's alright John. And I'm sure he'll forgive you.

Yeah. I'm sure he will too, he's not one to hold grudges or anything.

[But unfortunately, he is one to occasionally pull pranks, calm and sophisticated though he is. Insufferable Prick, would you mind helping a dear old chum out? He thinks his master could really use a good dousing as that fall was not only somewhat painful, but rather undignified. He was left rolling on his back like a Squirtle, for goodness sakes!]

[[Hey. Prick is never one to deny a pokebro when he needs some help. He'll just waddle on over there...]]

That's good. We can stop by a Pokemon restaurant on the way home and get them dinner too. I'm sure that would make it up to him. Hmm? Oh, hello Dave. What are you up t--

[[Here John. Have a good dousing, rousing a squeak from Rose.]]

[If he had any arms, Sassacre would likely indulge you in one of your "pokébro fistbumps", dear Prick. You are a true gentlemon and pokéchum. He's not the type to laugh, unlike Slimer or Tera-Geist, but there is a small, satisfied smile on the normally blank face.]

[Meanwhile, John is just...going to lay there. Soaking wet, looking stunned, and wondering why in the world he decided to wear a white shirt to a water party. ~~Good thing he's not a girl.~~]

[[........

And Rose is going to try and hold in her laughter.......]]

[Thanks, Rose. Thanks. :T]

Okay.

I...probably deserved that. [He pushes himself into a sitting position again, holding his arms out a little, with a look that pretty much just says "Uh. Soaking wet. What do?"] Um...you wouldn't happen to have an extra towel, would you? [Because guess what he forgot?]

Mmm in my bag. But do you really need to dry off just yet?

Well I kind of need to at least wipe off my glasses. And...yeah, I would rather not sit here dripping.

[Not cool. ;;]

Here. [[Taking his glasses, she gently uses a corner of her swim skirt to dry them off. They're a little smeared, but you should be able to see. Placing them back on his face, she chuckles.]]

Sun bathe. You'll dry off.

[He's just...going to resist the urge to say something about the glasses. That really didn't help things and he hates it when they're smeared or dirty but he doesn't want to hurt Rose's feelings. He really appreciates the thought just...slkjfdlsg. He'll just...deal with it and clean them when he gets back to his room.]

Yeah, but...that would mean that I would have to take my shirt off...

[Remember how much trouble you had trying to get him to even pull it up for you after the Shedinja fiasco? Well that was in private. This is in public.]

If you must John, my bag is over by that tree.

[[Not too far away, just a few feet.]]

Feel free. It should be rather easy to spot. It's Eevee print.

[Do you really have to say it like that, Rose? If he must? He can't help it, he just doesn't particularly like being wet. This is why he wasn't exactly excited about the prospect of a summer water party. He glances over towards the tree, catching sight of the bag in question.]

Thanks. Be right back. [He gives her hand another little squeeze before getting to his feet and walking over to the bag. So, what's he going to find in there when he opens it?]

Alright, take your time.

[[He will find a multitude of things. A few evolution stones, a small green knit squiddle and the start of something knitted in a dark red, a few of her journals...seems the towel is under all of this!

Actually, it's under more than just that. There also seems to be a new garment within the bag, judging by the fact the price tag is still attached. If he dare take a peek at what it is, it seems to be a sundress. One in a light blue, with jumpluffs floating along the bottom of the skirt.

Underneath that however is what he's searching for. Eevee print! ...or well, there are a few Eevee print things there.

Two of which he proooobably shouldn't touch, if he cares that much about being a gentleman. But the towel is sure there!]]

[Why do girls always carry so much stuff in their bags? Why? Is it really even necessary? How do you even...though the squiddles are quite adorable, he must admit.]

[And...what is this blue thing? Why is it oh my god it's a sundress. Fffff. He gets to see her in this, right? Please let this be something she bought for herself and not for Jade or something. Please say she plans to wear this at some point. Please say-- wait he was looking for a towel, wasn't he? Okay, that's enough being distracted by thoughts of Rose in adorable poképrint sundresses.]

[...maybe just one more mental image...]

[Okay. Towel. Towel, towel where are you of course you're on the very bottom of the bag, aren't you? Yup. You sure are. Other Eevee print articles at the bottom of the bag? What other articles? John sees only a towel.]

[A towel which he is now going to use to dry his hair! Best place to start right? First his hair and then his...well crap. A towel can't exactly dry a shirt now can it? What in the world was he thinking? Oh, that's right: nothing. John has been thinking exactly nothing for a while now because, haha...girlfriend in a cute bikini. Dammit there goes his mind off on a tangent again. Focus, Egbert, focus. Drying off.]

[As much as he doesn't want to, the shirt's going to have to go. Almost immediately after stripping it off, he drapes the towel over his shoulders. His shirt, meanwhile is laid out on a convenient rock to dry. After a few more moments of drying off his torso, John turns and walks back over towards Rose, the towel still draped around his shoulders and doing an amazing job of covering even more than his shirt did. Arms? John Egbert has no arms now, they are under the towel, holding it closed around him. Once he reaches her, he sits down on her other side, not wanting to sit back on the wet half of the towel. With a whump noise, he flops onto his back once more, still wrapped up.]

Much better!

[[She stares at him a moment.

....and then begins tugging at the towel.

Guess who got a bit of a sprinkle while you were gone John?]]
