Chapter 49; 4th Wall; Video/Action for Saffron

[tentacletrainer]

[[There is a very smug girl on the screen right now. She's currently sitting somewhat cradled in one arm of her Dragonite and there should be something a little different to notice about her. It may not click right away, but eventually everyone will likely realize that hey.

Her blonde hair sure is longer. In fact, it's so long? It's going off the bottom of the shot.

She's not the camera man, so perhaps you'll get a better shot at what is up with that. For now, however, she's got something important to say.]]

I believe you said something about being the most fabulous with long hair, Dave. It seems that Johto has been kind enough to allow me to end this silly delusion of yours early.

[[With that, the camera moves to follow the long, long, long, incredibly long trail of platinum hair that cascades from the Dragonite's arm, down onto the ground, and sort of pools around his feet. Rapunzel, eat your heart out. At the Pokemon's name - apparently it is camera Ampharos Halos today - the view is brought back up to her.]]

What now, Dave? What now?

[[She proceeds to give the viewers a finger pistol and a wink before opening her hand to take the gear back, turning it off thereafter.

Anyone around Saffron will be greeted with...probably a pretty cute sight. There's this girl, see, the one in the video, with a gaggle of her Pokemon trying to help put her hair up. Or braid it. Or something. Or maybe you'll see her walking along, the same gaggle of Pokemon keeping her hair off the ground as they follow along behind her.

Do you approach? If you do, all she asks is that you try not to step on her hair!]]

Dave, would you really think that I would cut your neck open? Honestly. [[She chuckles, shifting a little in her spot.]]

I see you have found a mount befitting of your title.

[moveslikestrider]

nah. I think you'd go, oh Dave look at this, if we push your hair down right here and curl it you look just like mom. [Which he unfortunately does at times.]

She doesn't seem to mind it too. Lady B gets to race across the land and I get to be all knightly and awesome. ...but man how the hell did your hair get that long. Has john seen it yet?

[tentacletrainer]

Nonsense. Even if you do kind of look like Mom at times. [[Snicker snicker snicker.]]

Well, it started out at about half this length. Turns out if I cut it? It grows back plus a foot or something. And no, not yet, but I'm sure he'll turn up.

[moveslikestrider]

Yeah? Sometimes you kind of look like Bro. I bet if we spiked your hair a bit you'd be able to pull off the shades. [A snort because he's teasing.]

Ok. I could maybe dial back the time on it. That might do it.

[tentacletrainer]

Do I? [[She stores this info away for later. Note to self: Bro impersonation in the future sometime.]] I suppose that's no surprise. If we didn't look somewhat like them, it'd be much harder to believe that we're related.

And you can certainly try. I won't mind.

[moveslikestrider]

Ugh, sometimes it's still such a head trip to think about Bro as our dad.

[Where ever she is, he slides into view, from the left. He stuffs his hands in his pockets and nods once.] Alright, let's see if this will work.

[He turns and red gears burn into existence as he tries to dial back the time on his sister's hair.]

[tentacletrainer]

[[She wishes you luck, sitting patiently as he works. And at first? It really seems to be doing so!]]

How goes your work, oh shining knight?

[moveslikestrider]

[It really does! He's a bit hopeful here.]

Pretty sweet. I've seen Aradia a few times while I was racing around. Oh, and seems the exile that was assigned to me is here. Big surprise he's a trigger happy law officer.
