Chapter 33; Accidental Video

[tentacletrainer]

[[Today, when the gear turns on, you get a lovely view of the sky and the calming sounds of water nearby. It's a beautiful day, for those of you not outside.

This serene setting is broken by a squeal from a Pokemon and a splash, then all falls quiet and calm again.

It's a few minutes before you hear something again. This something being another splash. And then on screen appears a Dratini with a quite pathetically wiggling Magikarp in it's mouth.



With a happy chirp it disappears off camera again, only to return a few moments later to rub all over the 'gear. And then off it goes. There's a squeal, a splash, and a few minutes later the familiar sight of this Dratini with another Magikarp, struggling in it's grasp. It disappears, it reappears to smother the Pokegear, rinse, wash, repeat.

This show goes on for some time, until finally - during one of its rubbing sessions - it stops and looks up. And then it simply begins to trill in excitement. Almost like if it doesn't make noise, it'll explode. It's also wiggling.

There is so much wiggling from this Dratini.]]

...V-vodka...what are you doing?

[[It seems this Dratini is none other than Vodka Derptini - also lovingly known as John - belonging to resident Rose Lalonde. And said trainer has found the little dragon Pokemon.

She appears momentarily on screen, picking up the 'gear, before turning to look at...oh.

It seems all those Magikarp the little wiggling dragon type had been collecting are in quite the pile of flopping. Meanwhile, the aforementioned culprit of this karp congregation is sitting next to said heap, wiggling as if waiting for praise.

Apparently those fish are a gift for his trainer.]]

...That's...very nice of you, John. Thank you very much. How sweet.

[[A few pats to the Dratini's head, followed by a multitude of elated chirps, lilts, warbles and purls, and the 'gear is shut off.]]

[ She's just... looking for now. A little confused ] Are they Pokemon? [ She's looked through her handbook but it has yet to all sink in ]

[And why wouldn't John appear behind Rose a few moments later? Gotta stick to your travel buddy, you know! Stopping next to Rose, he boggles at the pile of flopping Magikarp.]

Um...

[Casey, meanwhile, is clapping and bouncing up and down a little. That's so sweet Derptini!]

[ If they're still on the road, this can be action, idefk anymore. :/a

Watanuki peers at the flopping pile in consternation, his Dragonite looming over his shoulder. ]

Ah...its intentions were good. [ Wise nod. ] Will you need help getting the fish back in the water, Rose-san?

[oh. It had a fish. 8( Why couldn't HE have a fish.]

[The video feed shows basically nothing but a big pair of green eyes staring forlornly at the screen.]</sub>

[ Safe to assume Dave's not far off, but it's also safe to assume he's lazy. He may even be within shouting distance. ]

do you pat john on the head when he takes you out for sushi
or is that a special treatment reserved for the cute ones

Action; I somehow missed this entry, what?

[Vriska peers skeptically at the pile of fish, and toes one with her boot.]

Great. It's a pile of useless flopping fish.

[Kinda reminds her of a certain dead friend. Useless and flopping.]

[eclectical]

[Jade is staring at the screen, her face a mixture of incredulity and amusement.]

Wow... That is a lot of Magikarp.

[Clapclap!]

Your Dratini is a fantastic fisher it seems!
