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!))

He decided I looked a little warm, I'm sure.

[[But John. She was just about to tell you how handsome you are.]]

I think I can see how he may have come to that conclusion.

[Don't. Ask.]

...oh really?

[[Cue a quirk of her eyebrow.]]

And how do you figure that, hm?

[~~You had to ask, didn't you?~~]

Well, see. It's an easy mistake to make, because you always look hot.

[Yup. We're going to talk about your looks now, Rose. That way we don't have to focus on John.]

[[...............

She had not been expecting that.]]

D-do I? I hope I haven't come down with anything. A constant fever is never good for oneself.

What? No! No not sick hot...like. Hot hot. Hot as in drop dead gorgeous. That kind of hot.

[He's never trying to use a pick up line ever again. Because, obviously, he really sucks at it.]

[[John, it's not that you suck at it. Rose just did not expect that from you. John Egbert? Telling her she's hot. Oh, not even just hot, but drop dead gorgeous as well. This is just unprecidented!]]

I knew what you meant John.

[[Can you see the veeerrrryyyy light pink tinge to her cheeks?]]

I was merely teasing.

[Normally he would stick to "pretty" or "beautiful." But he just couldn't pass on that play of words.]

Oh.

[If you can't see the bright red tinge on his cheeks, then you are blinder than Sollux, Rose. He's just going to sit there and feel a little stupid now. He shouldn't have said anything.]

[[And now she feels bad. So she's going to sit there a moment before glancing away.]]

You know John, perhaps I should offer this towel back to you and allow you to hide once more.

[Confidence levels dropping at an even faster rate now. Yes, having the towel back would be great, Rose. That way he can put it over his head and pretend that he doesn't exist. And at the same time, you can pretend that you don't have a totally lame boyfriend.]

O-Oh?

Indeed.

[[While she offers it to him, she won't quite let go, trying her best to put on a charming smile.]]

Surely there have been more than a few passer-bys of the female variety who have eyed you, and I am slowly finding myself rather jealous.

[[....that is totally a pick-up line. Yup.]]

[That's fine. Even though he takes a corner of it in hand when it's offered, he makes no effort to actually take it from her. He's too busy trying to figure out if he heard her right. Hopefully she doesn't mind the blank stare she gets for a good half a second. That blank look is followed by a somewhat forced laugh.]

Ha...ahah. Good one, Rose. Funny!

...I wasn't trying to joke, John. [[Smile wavering juuuust slightly.]]

I assure you, you would know if I were.

Oh. Hah...right, uh. Sorry. [He's still pretty sure it was a joke. Or a lie to make him feel better.]

How would I know though?

My jokes are terrible, that's how. Or involve rather morbid subjects.

[[Chuckling, she sighs, leaning against his shoulder a bit.]]

Oh come on, they can't be that bad.

Edited 2011-08-14 11:23 (UTC)

You would be ashamed to have me as your girlfriend.

Rose, that's impossible. There is nothing you could do that would ever make me ashamed to have you as my girlfriend.

Alright. Which would you rather hear. Terrible? Or morbid?

How about...both?

Hmph. [[You asked for it.]]

What is worse than one dead squiddle nailed to a tree?

Uh...two dead squiddles nailed to a tree?

[ROSE WHAT IS THIS JOKE EVEN?!]

Good guess, but wrong.

[[This is the joke of Rose Lalonde.]]

One dead squiddle nailed to ten trees.
