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!))

[All of his vacant boggling. All of it.]

Action; 5/?

[At least until he cracks into a small grin. And then a slightly larger grin after that. And is that...is that the sound of chuckling?]

Action; 6/6

[Yeah, that's definitely a giggle right there. A lot of them actually.]

Oh my god.

[He shouldn't be laughing, he really shouldn't be. but he can't help it.]

Action;

[[....excuse her while she raises a brow.]]

Was it really so terrible it was funny?

[[Because she knows she's terrible. She knows it.]]

Action;

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-14 12:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Trying his hardest to control the giggles. It's working with moderate success.]

Wow, um. Okay, I'm s-sorry [A half-suppressed chuckle.] I shouldn't... [One that's much less suppressed.] That was...I can't even...you know I love you and everything, Rose, but oh my god...th-that was just...

[HOW IS SENTENCE FORMED?]

Action;

[identity profile] usedtherapy.livejournal.com 2011-08-14 12:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[[Rose merely sighs and looks away.]] Awful. That was awful. I know.

[[Wait.

Wait wait wait wait.

..."I love you"?

Cue blushing.]]

Action;

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-14 12:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Cue missing blush entirely. Also the fact that he even said "I love you" in the first place. He doesn't seem to realize that at all.]

S-Sorry! [Okay, deep breath. Caaaaalm.] It's okay though, Rose. We can fix this. I will just have to teach you better jokes, that's all.

Action;

[identity profile] usedtherapy.livejournal.com 2011-08-14 12:08 pm (UTC)(link)
M-mm. [[Okay. Calm down Rose. Just calm down. It's no big deal. Just...say that you love him too.]]

I....

[[Come on. You can do this.]]

....I would enjoy that.

[[No. No you can't. Pathetic.]]

Action;

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-14 12:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's okay, Rose. It only would have confused him as he still hasn't realized what just slipped from his mouth.]

Good! Enjoying it is important! But...I have to ask you. [This is his ~serious face~ complete with ~dramatic pause~]

Can you handle my joke lessons?

Action;

[identity profile] usedtherapy.livejournal.com 2011-08-14 12:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[[Okay good. And she takes in his question, then chuckles.]]

Yes, Professor Egbert. I am sure I will be able to handle learning under your careful eye.

Action;

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-14 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I had a feeling you would.

[He sneaks an arm around her shoulders and pulls her into a weird, one-armed, half-hug squeeze...thing.]

Action;

[identity profile] usedtherapy.livejournal.com 2011-08-14 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[[Leaning into the hug, she moves to drape the towel over both their shoulders.]]

So when do these lessons start?

Action;

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-14 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm...whenever you want them to! Just not right now. I need time to prepare, you know? Gotta draw up lesson plans and stuff. Teaching Rose Lalonde the fine art of joke telling is no easy task!

[Yay towel cuddles!]

Action;

[identity profile] usedtherapy.livejournal.com 2011-08-14 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Well take your time, John. I am a very patient learner.

[[Indeed. Aren't they nice?]]

Action;

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-14 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I figured as much. You're dating me, so that means you are basically made of patience.

[Very nice!]

Action;

[identity profile] usedtherapy.livejournal.com 2011-08-14 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Now what exactly do you mean by that, hmm?

Action;

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-14 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, just that it takes a lot of patience to put up with someone like me. You've always been good at that, though. Even before we were dating.

Action;

[identity profile] usedtherapy.livejournal.com 2011-08-14 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm. [[And that is apparently all she has to say on the matter, closing her eyes with a soft sigh instead.]]
