Chapter 48; Video; Possession is fun kids!

[tentacletrainer]

[[When the feed starts, there is a very tearful looking Rose on the screen. She looks like she's just about ready to start bawling, hiccuping once in a while. For a moment she just stares, and then she explains what's wrong.]]

Someone. Someone help. I...I'm...I'm really scared.

[[Suddenly the video shifts, showing the edge of a bed and then kiiiind of leaning over the edge to show the floor.]]

I-I think something is under my bed. And if I get down it'll get me!

[[And there are a few sobs, though they're off camera. She is just so scared.]]

Wh-what if it's the boogeyman?! O-or a zombie or something?!

[[And the more things she suggest, the more hysterical she becomes until finally she's wailing, the gear dropping to the bed and being turned off as a result.

If you're feeling like this is not the Rose you know, you're pretty close. She's still Rose, she's simply been possessed by a Yamask.

One who is apparently five years old or something.]]

[[She gives him a weird look before looking in the mirror.

.....all seems to be in tip top shape. Wow you're crazy mister.]]

I don't see what you mean.

[ghostytrainer]

You don't...how can you not see what I mean?! You have blonde hair to your shoulders and a headband! You're wearing a skirt and copious amounts of purple! Not to mention you have other...feminine...assets.

[Wow topic change, let's not talk about boobs.]

Um...anyway, the point is: you're a girl! Your name is Rose Lalonde and you are fourteen years old. You will be fifteen at the start of December and you've been here in Johto for almost two years! If this is supposed to be some kind of prank, it really isn't funny, Rose!

[[She looks again, then back to John.]]

You should get your eyes checked mister.

[John throws his hands up into the air.]

Gah! I give up!

[tentacletrainer]

[[.....you're really weird mister. She's just going to eye you for a bit yeah.]]

[ghostytrainer]

[He sighs, running a hand through his hair and kind of muttering to himself.]

Man, lots of people have been acting weird today. What the hell's gotten into--

[A lightbulb goes off as he remembers something he read in his pokedex earlier on.]

Say, Joshua...what year is it?
