Lost Chapter 1; Video, action, text? Fourth Wall.

[tentacletrainer]

[{When the video starts, it's being carted around in the air by what sounds like a very excited Mismagius. From the looks of it, Goldenrod seems to be the setting, and the subject is a rather annoyed looking Rose Lalonde.

Annoyed, and...well. Different. Sorta...

Grimdark.

You're probably pretty glad that grimdark is a real word, so that when people look like this they may be described as such.]]

Os'tiiva, L'u htopikh chirs ursmk urb'iur hirf.

[[She sounds awfully annoyed too, even if...you...can't really understand what all that gobbledygook means. You can likely guess from her tone of voice though, right?

The video flips off pretty quick after that, but for those in Goldenrod, you can still see her trying to retrieve it from the errant Ghost Pokemon.]]

((OOC: I'll translate what she says, but if you'd like to have fun guessing and remaining in the dark, mention so in the subject line! She can write and text in English, but you'll have to get her to think of that first.

All replies will be made by broodfester!

[Oh, don't mind the pink pony nearby trying to figure out what you said, Rose! She looks like she's concentrating pretty hard. She doesn't think much of Rose's appearance, and seems to be under the impression what she said is like a puzzle or something!]

[broodfester.livejournal.com]

[[Really, it might as well be a puzzle. Don't think too hard though, little pony. Ancient tongues are hard to decipher.

She doesn't mind the pony, but doesn't notice her until she finally gives up on the Mismagius, sighing as it cackles and carts off the 'gear elsewhere. She watches the pony a moment, before approaching with a questioning look.]]

B'tfthir?

[["Hello?"]]

Hiya!

[Okay that one she may as well understand. The tone and body language and whatever totally give it away!]

I don't know if I can guess what you said! It's a pretty hard riddle.

action

[broodfester.livejournal.com]

[[At first she's excited by the prospect of someone understanding her! But...then she mentions it being a riddle and the excitement drains. She chuckles none the less, however.]]

[["It's not a riddle really..."]]

[partyofwin.livejournal.com]

You sound like your mouth is full of marshmallows!

[It makes Pinkie giggle a bit, but she still wants to actually be able to understand Rose.]

Oh no, are you cursed? This one time I thought I was cursed and my tongue got really big and spotty and I sounded kinda like you do right now.

[partyofwin.livejournal.com]

It sounds really neat, whatever it is you're speaking! It makes me think of fishies for some reason!

[Why could that possibly be.]

[broodfester.livejournal.com]

[["Fishies, hm?" Why ever could that possibly be indeed.]]

[There's a small, orange monkey hiding from around the corner, but he stares intensely at her, watching carefully.]

[broodfester.livejournal.com]

[[She doesn't notice the monkey just yet, a little too preoccupied with trying to catch that accursed Ghost.]]

L'u nwtim urhir urb't yhirhs...

[["I swear to the gods..."]]

[trouser-chimp.livejournal.com]

[The monkey watches a little more, and then picks up a small rock, throwing it at the ghost.]

[broodfester.livejournal.com]

[[The ghost drops the gear with a few upset noises, zipping behind a nearby tree to hide. Rose picks it up, then glances in the direction the rock came from.]]

B'tfthir?

[["Hello?]]

[trouser-chimp.livejournal.com]

[The monkey 'eeps', and then tries to hide from the corner again... though his long tail is obviously sticking out.]

action; do go ahead with the translations

[deltentabeast.livejournal.com]

[Of all the things anyone expects to see, it's probably not these two meeting up. Two Roses, neither herself, both darker in skin and few other things besides. The one here has her broodfester tongues and cloak of oozing (grim)darkness; the new arrival has... well.]

[She's a troll, two tall horns just slightly curved - they resemble Gamzee's - extending from her head. Black hair, grey skin, as standard, but a fanged skull in black and white is painted over her face. A black t-shirt with an indigo triangle that near resembles a heart. A grey skirt smattered with lighter grey circles. Striped black-and-grey socks, purple sneakers.]

[And a rainbow sash, patterned so colorfully by something obvious: the distinct odor of blood. Maybe that's what her nails are painted with too, with their multiple hues. In one hand she clutches a pair of needles, similar but not the same to the Thorns of Oglogoth.]

[She's tailed by a Persian.]

My, my. First another trip to a world unknown, and now I am greeted with a vision of my own past self, here in the flesh. I daresay I'm tempted to give up on logic altogether.

action; o/

[broodfester.livejournal.com]

[[It will be a few moments before she answers. She's far more focused on taking in the sight of this...troll version of herself. Or what she assumes is herself. Past self though? Whatever does she mean by that?]]

[["...How curious. Giving up on logic would likely be a wise decision whilst within the premises of Johto. Things rarely make sense here."]]

action; and headcanoning a bit since she *was* grimdark once

[deltentabeast.livejournal.com]

[She takes a moment herself, letting the mix of sounds slosh through her mind and, slowly, her eyebrows raising at it, resolve itself into sense.]

... Curious indeed. I can still understand you. Though I'm unsure I could fashion my tongue into the shapes needed to create those noises anymore, so do pardon me if I stick to something more... if not human, then normal. Though if anything, the teeth might make it easier than it could have been.

[Her black lips curl, showing amusement along with a glimpse of fang.]

A proposition: let us engage in a round of questions that we may sort things out. One to the other, an answer, then another to the first who asked, back and forth. I doubt we'll get anything done otherwise.

And if I may be so presumptive as to start first--what, or where, is Johto?

[The Persian comes up alongside her now and sits, blinking leisurely up at grimdark!Rose, while troll!Rose scritches behind an ear with her empty hand.]

[There's at least one person apparently unimpressed by this grimdark development, if the unchanging deadpan expression on his twelve-year-old face is any indication.]

_{[Here, have a four-armed blue koala who also can barely speak a word english. He's crawling around on all fours six, dragging his face along the ground and muttering to himself.]}

[[She's going to watch this koala for a moment, along with her ghost Pokemon, before leaning down to poke him as he crawls past.]]

_{[Said koala will then proceed to jump up on his hind (?) legs and hold all four arms out, held as if they were guns]}

Meega-o-itume!!

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

[Have a guy who speaks pretty much every language ever stepping out of a blue police phone box nearby and looking you over, Rose.]

Now that is something interesting. Some kind of corruption--yes, that might just be grade-A corruption on a physiological level. Maybe not mental, you seem okay on that much. Possibly. Probably. Not looking too genocidal, so that's a good thing.

[broodfester.livejournal.com]

[[Oh, hello there. Don't mind her raising a brow questioningly at that observation.]]

Khirur ytkhirgl'uhift iur ift, L'u ismt chirs.

[["Not genocidal at all, I assure you."]]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

[Don't mind him missing that look completely.]

Oh good. Good to hear, that's really not usually the case. Something gets corrupted, people usually start getting maimed or killed and it tends to ruin a perfectly good vacation spot.

[broodfester.livejournal.com]

[[....wait.]]

Of course I can understand you.

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'd be surprised if I were you as well. That's an oooold language, sounds like. Luckily for you I happen to speak it. Well, I speak everything so I suppose it just stands to reason I'd speak that too.

[broodfester.livejournal.com]

[["Everything?" She looks a little impressed by that.]]
