ohmyarceus | August-September Testo Doraivu!

[Video]
[The video opens to an excited teenage girl sitting on the ground just outside the lab . Like “this is the best day of my life” levels of excitement. She’s twirling a red headband in her free hand and a skitty chases after it.]
OMG, isn’t this the most adorable pokémon you have ever fucking seen? Is this the universe we created? Because LBR, this is exactly the type of pokémon I would think up. And I don’t remember it from the games or show. Is the goal really to become the very best, like no one ever was? [Guess who loved pokémon as a child. Just be happy she isn’t singing.]
[But now on to less exciting thoughts.]
The mom part was fucking bizarre. She was super nice and packed me a bag and lunch. But then she locked me out of the house. And packed me really impractical clothing. Is that normal maternal behavior?
[A brief pause and frown. The skitty promptly attacks her fingers and she smiles. She seems to be speaking more to herself or the cat than the pokégear.] I hope my friends answer this quickly. [If they’re even here...but that’s a problem] Or at least someone more helpful than the NPC chilling in this town. Not that they aren’t nice. [But like the chess people who surrounded her growing up, they made her feel lonely.] Gastrell the Munificent and I have poké-adventures we need to get up to. [Really excited with a broad smile aimed at Gastrell the Skitty.] This is so much better than the last video game I entered.

[Action for Route 29]
[A teenage girl is running around battling all the trainers, traipsing through the tall grass, even arguing, or attempting to argue, with Joey over the superior of Rattatas. Obviously felines are superior. But she will drop all of that if she sees someone capable of holding an actual conversation. She's followed by a skitty that spends most of its time chasing its own tail and an Espurr that will stare down any stranger.]

Isn't this like the coolest thing ever?

-FLOWERS-

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?

[A very large, muscular woman is currently batting flowers away from her face with both hands. There are petals of all sorts of colors stuck in her long thick mess of light hair. Meanwhile her nose is just a little more pink than it should be. (Though given that her nose had previously been a gem, she might argue that this is now the case all the time.)]

This is an assault. Who's responsible?

[She sneezes loudly, sniffling and wiping at her now dripping nose after. Her next line is muttered.]

This might actually be worse than Earth.

-HAZE-

[Jasper is on all fours, feeling around in the grass for something with a frown.]

Where is it...?

[It's clear after another minute or so that there's nothing to be found.]

I could have sworn I left it right - oh. [Her backpack slips off one shoulder and she stares at it. This is apparently what she'd been looking for all along. Tugging it off her back, she begins slowly digging through its contents.]

And what are you supposed to be?

[She snaps at the geodude hovering concernedly nearby.]

[Video]

[The feed wobbles as it's turned on, and it displays a Sunkern resting in a gap of light between the branches of a shady tree. Its eyes are closed, and it sighs contentedly. The feed then shifts to the holder, a pale, white-haired boy with wide, reddish eyes in a green and yellow striped sweater. He looks nervous, as if he's still not quite used to his own skin yet.]

Um...I have a question. [His brow furrows, and he shifts.] Sunny likes to sleep a lot, but he doesn't act sick. Is he...Pokemon-sick? I don't want him to be sick...he, he's supposed to be my friend, right? So I've got to help him!!

[There's a note of panic in his voice at the last bit. If there's anything he can do to keep a friend from getting sick, he'll do it! Just let him know!]

[Action]

[Asriel can be found on Route 29. His Sunkern, Sunny, has been returned to its Pokeball, because he's just...running around, and jumping, and even taking the time to roll through the tall grass, laughing and scattering Pidgey and Ratatta in his wake.

He's alive. He may not be a monster, but he has a SOUL, he can feel it - it's so warm! - and he's alive and himself and not Flowey and he can stay on the surface, no one's there to stop him!

But uh. Someone might want to keep him from hurting himself, or he might just roll right into you.]

[Video]

[The camera settles, wobbling a little, on Miko’s face, and she is not looking happy. She gives a slightly strained grin that only lasts a moment before speaking up, nearly shouting to be heard over the AWFUL SCREECHING ringing from somewhere off-camera. It’s not right near the Pokegear, fortunately for everyone, but it can’t be coming from more than a few yards off.]

Hey, so, I miiight have a tiny bit of a problem? Just a small one. A small, loud one.

[She glances over her shoulder, then swings the camera around to point it at a pale little Whismur who is very definitely the source of the screaming. He’s kind of… sticking out of Miko’s backpack, with a jacket wrapped around behind him. It might have been completely covering him at some point, like she had figured that it might work like covering a bird cage, but it’s been pushed off by his squirming.]

It was kinda cool at first that Mumbles here could do this at all, y'know? But now it’s getting kind of annoying. He started it up when this bug thing jumped out at us earlier but it’s been gone for a while and, surprise, he’s still going!

I don’t know if he’s sick or what but if anyone knows how to make a purple rabbit thing stop screaming, that’d be great.

FLOWER GIFT (action)
[There's a large, shirtless man sprawled asleep near the path along Route 3. He's a bit difficult to see currently due to the foot-and-a-half tall layer of pink rose petals completely covering him - and everything else along the route.

He'll sleep peacefully away into the day unless he's inadvertently kicked or stepped on, which, let's be real, given the limited visibility offered by the still-falling flower shower and his poorly-planned proximity to the road? He's gonna get kicked.

(he's kind of a masochist though so chances are high he'll actually thank you for it)

Engage the sleeping beast Y/Y?]

[Video:]
[The video opens to a young woman of dark olive skin and a firm muscular build. She has wide shoulders and strong arms but her face is soft and feminine. Her eyes are bright and yellow and full of curious delight. Nervously a large hand moves to her hair (tight curls and stand out on end, framing her face), pushing it out of the way so she could play with a large stone loop in her ear.]

Greetings and good day.

[She draws back, shyly a moment, but smiling down at her knees.]

I know not what to say. Everything here is so new to me. I give thanks to the pokémon I have met thus far. As well as the mother who packed me a lunch and a travel bag. I have never step foot from the Balmera before now. The beings here have been so welcoming thus far. I look forward to discovering my destiny here.

I look more so towards making friends here. Though... I do not understand. Why do I look so much like my friends, and so little like a Balmeran? It is a queer and curious turn of events. I was assured I am alright but I take very little comfort in that assuredness.

For now, I will press on.

[Flowers:]
[Flowers are new to Shay! Then again so very much is new to Shay, like her new appearance and her new ears, and the lack of her people or the Balmera to speak to. The color of the sky and the color of the ground below them. The strange beings that wander the grasses and tag along with people. The strange little Cubone creature that tags along with her...]

[And right now, the flowers. They seemed to fall from the sky and fall into her hair or into her hands. Soft and pretty. The smell was wonderful as well. Even trying to eat one seemed all right. It had a sweet and earthy taste to it, which was a surprise.]

[Out on a road she spun around, giggling to herself as she stared up at the sky and the falling flowers.] What a wonderful sight! I never knew a sky could cry such sweet things!

[When she looked down again the large woman was sure she saw someone looking at her. She smiled their way and called out to them:] Does this planet always do this? It's amazing!

[[video]]

[The gear turns on to reveal a large human, with tufts of hair that look like a bear’s ears. Rest assured, they aren’t the real thing, but it’s very clear that this person is not used to being a human. He’s standing outside of the starting route, blankly staring out at the grassy area, then back at the camera.]

“Ice Bear woke up here randomly. But why? Ice Bear is no longer a bear either.”

[Speaking of bears, there’s a Cubchoo at his feet, eager to get the journey started by pulling at his trainer’s pant leg. Ice Bear doesn’t budge or show any emotions while this is going on.]

“Why does ice Bear have a mini-Ice Bear as well? Where is Ice Bear’s real brothers?” [And to make a point, he turns off the video for a brief second to show off a drawing he did on the Poke’gear earlier. It’s a basic sketch of a brown bear and a much smaller panda bear playing on a cell phone.]

“Ice Bear wants answers.”

[[all those Spinda]]

[So, it’s taken Ice Bear a while to get on the road, mainly having to process this whole ‘I’m human now and where’s my family’ feeling. It’s not a good one, and he’s still mad about this whole thing, even if his stoic face doesn’t show it. His new Pokemon companion is taking this fairly well, one adorable Cubchoo is walking next to Ice Bear, eager and happy at the prospect of having a new trainer.]

[The Route narrows, and as far as Ice Bear can see, it’s flooded with Spinda. All those derpy, spinning panda bears seem to have no care that they’re blocking the path. Not even this incident gets the bear-turned-human to break his emotionless gaze.]

“Ice Bear sees the irony in this. Ice Bear is not amused.”

[The question is, what should he do? These Pokemon like to fight, right? Or maybe they can just be shoved out of the way? For now, he’ll just stand and watch the Spinda play, unless someone else has a better idea on what he should be doing.]

[Video]

[This is a very, very large man. He could easily be intimidating, but his expression is concerned, and he's cupping one big hand carefully around a tiny Sunkern.]

Ah, excuse me? Is this the Internet? [It's probably the Internet; this resembles the phone Alphys made him.] I found this little monster hiding in the bag I was given. Are their parents around?

[Swarm]

[There's swarms of Illumise and Volbeat out this evening. Seedy is out of his ball, but he's just sitting on Asgore's head. They aren't going to fight anything tonight if he can help it; they're sitting on a hill, a little bit above the action, watching the lights dance.

Asgore looks contemplative, not quite seeing the Pokemon he's looking at. What a strange situation. He's human, which is...complicated, and he's separated from Frisk and the others. But perhaps that is for the best. His people don't need him in the same way they once did. They have Toriel again now, and even Frisk. And this world is not so terrible. He's on the surface, isn't he?

He's alright.]

[Video]

[There's a moment of shaky-cam as Ford positions the Gear and then steps back into frame. He's still getting the hang of this device but, like most things, he's picked it up quickly.]

Good day, all. I have recently discovered something fascinating and I wanted to confer with the rest of you on how wide-spread it may be as a general phenomena. Eleanor here will demonstrate.

[He gestures to something out-of-frame, and there's a moment's pause.]

Ellie, don't be shy. Come on now.

[An Elgyem floats hesitantly into frame. Ford pulls a berry from his pocket (please don't keep those in your pockets, sir, jeez) and holds it out to her.]

Now, observe as she eats -- despite having no visible mouth. I have observed her since I first arrived and I have never once seen any orifice even resembling a mouth, not even during an examination specifically with the stated intent of finding one.

[He doesn't seem disturbed by this. If anything, he's absolutely jazzed.]

Is this common in other Pokémon, or is it specific to her species?

[Flowers]

[Ford has seen a lot of odd things in his life, and so when the sky starts raining flowers it doesn't bother him much. So they get in his hair and catch in the collar of his coat and he has to kick through flower drifts as high as his thighs to move forward; he's faced far worse.]

I wonder if this is common weather for this dimension... [He laughs softly to himself.] At least it's not the universe where it literally rained cats and dogs.

[It took him weeks to get rid of the fleas.]

Edited 2016-08-14 07:14 (UTC)

Flowers

[There were a lot of things Jolyne would handle in her lifetime. After battling Whitesnake and having to dig through a pile of gross snails, flowers shouldn't be a problem for her! Although, as time went one, she couldn't deny that it was getting all the more difficult to walk through ocean of flowers before her!]

You've got to be kidding me...! [She mumbled under her breath as she tried her best to carry her Joltik through the pile of flowers!]

Who's bright idea was this to rain nothing but flowers on us?! It's doing nothing but making my allegeries worse! [All the whole sniffling through her nose]

Worry Seed

[And here, she thought having to swim through a pile of flowers was worse. However, this definitely tops everything she ever had to do! No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't sleep! It was only pissing her off with each passing second and it didn't help that her fellow bug pokemon was trying to help her out!

As much as she wanted to yell at it, she just couldn't bring herself to. Instead, she just mumbled under her breath and just started to walk. However, should someone bump into her? Be warned, she's definitely a cranky young woman right now!]

[A]

[The dark-haired man on the screen smiles brightly. He has a heavier accent, but not in a way that makes him hard to understand.]

Yo! Is this some kind of comm device? Anyone out there? I am sure this is some kind of dream, but communicators do not work in dreams, do they?

If it is a dream, it is a good one! It is like something out of an old, old video game! And look! I even have my own companion! Say hello, Higurashi!

[A big silver and green cicada-looking bug waves its antenna thoughtfully from his shoulder, mostly-sightless eyes staring off just past the camera.]

I, ah... Am not sure where to go from here. If this is a video game, then there must be a level progression some way! Your help would be much appreciated.

[Genji out]

[B]

[Oh boy, civilization! Time to make a nuisance of himself. Have you ever seen a grown man scale a wall, or execute a perfect backflip onto a balcony? Because the dark-haired man is positively bursting with boyish energy, skirting the rooftops and climbing straight up walls.

He's also definitely not watching where he's going, flitting back and forth like a sparrow in flight.]

Oh! I am sorry, I did not see you!

[Help a- what ever I am out]

From the moment he wakes, to the reception of his pokeball with it's little treasure inside, to the stumbling around outside, Kion has no idea what is going on. This world was not the pridelands, these animals were not familiar. These legs- these legs!

To anyone around him Kion looks like a boy, some ways into preteen and teenager, the oddest mix of growing into yourself and wow this kid probably works out you've ever seen. Despite his striking appearance, dark skin with... That's got to be dyed, the most noticeable thing is the fact that he's tripping all over himself and seems to feel more comfortable crawling on the ground. "H-Havi Kabisa, what is this?"

Edited 2016-08-18 06:58 (UTC)

[ He's in hell. There's music.

He was hit by a truck, and he was already bleeding profusely when that happened, so Maine isn't sure about the music being real.

But this is really hell, despite the rain of flowers that keep falling on his head.

He thinks the other place was supposed to have music and flowers. He was never going to end up there. This must be hell.

Maine growls. ]

Flabébé?

[ The flower demon that won't leave him alone darts between his legs to hide from the sound. It's followed him for two clicks, and now it sounds like it's crying. He's never hated anything more.

Maine nudges it with his foot until it's been pushed into the pile of flowers in the side of the road. The only reason he doesn't kick it is because his brain tells him that flowers are too pliable to get a good impact on.

It returns and seems to hug his leg. No.

He points at the other flowers and grumbles again. The thing whimpers. ]

Flaaaaaa.

[ Someone shoot him. ]

[Video]

[The Pokegear screen crackles to life, displaying, somewhat surprisingly to the girl on the screen, not as a blue-tinted projection, but a standard video. For a few moments, she is silent, blinking and gazing at her own reflection in mild surprise, as if surprised by her own appearance. She lifts a hesitant hand, grazing the right side of her head. She pulls her hand away from the closely shaven patch, gazing at her own fingers for a moment. After a few moments, she turns her attention back to the screen, looking somewhat sheepish.]

S-sorry. This is... entirely new to me, I'm afraid.

[Lowering her hand, the girl offers a small smile]

I am currently broadcasting from a place I believe is called New Bark Town? According to many of the locals, this is in the region of...

[Her brows furrow together, her expression resembling that of someone who has consumed sour food]

Jow-tao?

[A laugh]

This device, this place...

[She glances to the side, toward a rather bulbous tuft of fur that she can't quite seem to get off screen.]
The creatures. [Laughter] Like I said. It is... new.

[Now her smile fades in the slightest, and her gaze seems to waver.]

I am broadcasting in the hopes that someone out there, perhaps someone I know, or perhaps someone new, is listening. I want someone to know that I am alive. I want them to know that I am free.

[Action]

[A gentle breeze ruffled the grass, kicking up bits of detritus and sending them off into the sky. Away from the town, Angel stood, legs submerged up to her ankles in the cold water of the channel leading away from the town. She gazed down at her feet, small and attached to rail thin legs (the left curiously marked by a series of tattoos, much in the way the rest of that side of her body was). Gone was the purple tinge she had grown so used to seeing on her skin, chased away by whatever entity had also purged the persistent weakness from her body]

Gone, gone, gone.

[She smiled for a moment, as if pleased to hear the sound of her own voice. It took but a moment for the smile to wobble, however. She pulled her arms tightly to her, hugging herself as tightly as she could. Her heart raced beneath her skin, her only evidence that somehow, for some inexplicable reason, she was alive.]

[Taking a deep, quivering breath, Angel found that she could no longer control herself. She bent over, still clinging to herself, as a handful of sobs wracked her body. Her reflection observed it all quietly, with furrowed brows and, by some miracle, the ghost of a smile.

[For the first time in ages, she was free. Despite the fear coursing through her veins, despite the unfamiliarity of it all, she finally felt like she had a chance.]

[Video]

[Image flicks on to show the top right quarter of a man's face. He's looking intently at the device, prodding it with his stylus. He's clearly recording by accident, if the way the camera keeps moving around and showing absolutely nothing helpful should suggest.]

Man this thing is confusing...

[He leans in closer, giving a good view of his pointy beard and the tip of his tongue sticking out in concentration. Then he notices he's recording.]

Oh! I'm recording! I thought maybe this was some kind of social network... Um. Hello everyone! Kotetsu Kaburagi here! Is there a user guide for this thing? It's not the kind of phone I'm used to... I think I'm doing something wrong with the proddy stick...

[Someone help this embarrassing dad.]

[Flowers/Action]

[Kotetsu was not in a hurry to get out of New Bark Town. It reminds him of the home he grew up in, out in the country and quiet. After all of the shit that went down, and how busy he's been at work, it's nice to have a little vacation thrust on him. His communicator has been blessedly silent, even if he misses his kid and his partner, it's nice to be totally free of emergency calls.

So he enjoys the lazy pace of things, resting near the docks with his Bunnelby, watching the water. Which is where he is when the flowers start to fall.]

Hm?

[He looks up when he sees a petal flutter by, in time to get a flower right to the face. He scoops it off curiously, sniffing it. The lovely aroma makes him smile, and he offers it to the Bunnelby. It takes a bite out of it.]

Okay, fair enough, [He laughs, patting it on the head as he looks back up to watch the flower rain.]

This place is so beautiful.

SPINDA SWARM

Aw, what a cute lil guy!

[ Janey looks absolutely delighted to see the little... bear? Thing? It seems kinda out of it, though. She's just gonna poke its tummy, and-- ]

Whoa, careful! [ She steadies him; he's pretty darn tiny, actually... Smaller than a Spinda normally should be?

Catch her meeting it or her walking around with the little Spinda following--stumbling--behind her. ]

HAZE

Erm... what was I just doing?

[ Janey had just been wandering around Violet City, but... she can't remember how she got here? Funny. She's usually not bad at forgetting things... It must've been something important, though, because there's a little itch at the back of her mind. Maybe she was going to meet someone here...?

... The little Cyndaquil at her feet looks worried, though. ]

Quil...

Aww, cheer up! I'm sure we'll be just fine, yeah?

NETWORK

Hiya, everyone!
Janey Springs here, your favorite junker and children's book author!
I've got a proposition for you all. How about if you find something that looks like junk, send it right my way, and I'll fix something real nice for you.
For only a teeny tiny fee, of course!>

WILD CARD

[ Choose your own adventure, my guys! ]

Video
[So uh. Emmeryn definitely has absolutely no idea how this communicator works. Go figure?? She's from fantasy medieval anime Europe, give her a break???

So there's a video stream happening right now, but it's just...slowly, uncertainly focusing in on a pretty flower. And then the frame shifts to a different pretty flower. And then it's panning to a crooked view of New Bark Town, slowly shifting towards the path out to Cherrygrove—she's just sort of pointing the camera at things she thinks are nice and trying to figure out how it works from there??? Eventually the camera jostles and the frame falls as Emmeryn drops her arm to her side, and her fancy robe takes up, like, half the frame, but there's the sight of a Bagon nudging gently at her ankles.]

Oh, don't think I've forgotten about you, darling. [She's crouching to pat its head and it's making weird dinosaur noises of contentment, but she's still...got no idea she's broadcasting...... technology is hard]

Surf
[For the next few moments, the sight of a woman in a lovely green dress carrying a basket of groceries and walking down a city sidewalk alongside her Bagon is practically picturesque, up until she makes the mistake of walking by a puddle. There's a dull roar and rumble beside her and this is all of the warning she gets before a goddamn tidal wave just busts out from what totally should have been an ordinary puddle oh god

The basket goes tumbling to the ground when Emmeryn scoops up her Bagon and clutches him to her chest, whirling around and taking the brunt of the water when the wave crashes over her.

Thanks to her protection, her dear Bagon emerges from the situation fairly dry! Meanwhile poor Emmeryn has a tiny Jellicent stuck in her hair.]

Spinda Swarm
[Emmeryn's still adjusting to things here, but her ever-curious companion has taken the swarm in stride—that meaning, there's a Bagon hopping and spinning around among a decently sized group of Spinda while Emmeryn sits on a nearby bench, watching them play fondly like a mom watching her kids run around at the park. Every now and again she gets up to help set her poor Bagon upright when it's gotten too caught up in all the spinning, or to help a Spinda back up because her reckless Bagon has knocked it over, but otherwise she's cheerfully letting this happen. There's room on the bench for two and she's smiling brightly at anyone who stops to watch this nonsense!]

I've never seen so many of them. They're such charming creatures.

video;

[ Lev's having trouble aiming the communicator, so at first everyone just gets a good look at a long, pointy ear. Eventually, he manages to point the thing at his actual face and zoom out enough that he's not disturbingly close to the lens.

He's cradling an Espurr in one arm. The Espurr has his glasses in one paw and Lev is thus squinting at the camera myopically. ]

Found this little gal following me around! She won't, like, stay in the, er, the Pokeball? Is that what you, um, call those things? And she keeps stealing my glasses? Are they all so interested in mortal things? Or is mine just, er. Special?

[ He looks down fondly at the Espurr. His long hair falls forward to reveal the three gently glowing amber eye-spots on his forehead. ]

I'm unclear what I'm supposed to be doing here? I suppose I want to get the little one some friends ... cats do better with a friend? Where would I find more? I'd rather not catch them, though ... that seems mean. I want them to come with me freely ...

surf's up
[ Lev and the still-unnamed Espurr (he just can't decide on a name!) are on a beach route, sitting by the sea. Lev has found a ridiculous 1920s-style bathing suit somewhere. Because it's Lev, it's covered in a pattern of lilacs, rather than being stripy. Of course.

Lev's enjoying watching the waves and the people who run shrieking from them. The Espurr is enjoying sitting on Lev's head and occasionally batting at Lev's ears (it's the earrings — they glint and jingle) and at his glasses.

A particularly large wave rises up and this time it reaches where Lev's sitting. He doesn't bother moving—why be at the beach and avoid the sea, he's not Jay—and lets the water soak him. He sputters and giggles. The Espurr, less than pleased with this turn of events, yowls.

The wave recedes. It leaves an Inkay in its wake. Lev picks up his walking stick, laboriously gets to his feet and totters a few steps closer to the ... octopus? It's probably an octopus. He sits down beside it and reaches out a hand, not touching it but giving it the opportunity to come closer if it wants to. ]

Hi, small friend! I'm Lev.

[ He's quite oblivious to anyone who might be watching his attempts to bond with the Inkay. The Espurr, in the meantime, makes a disgruntled cat noise. ]

Swarm - Spinda

[A very irritated looking redhead is just sitting there surrounded by what she thinks are the most annoying bears in the world. She has a Dratini curled around her who just seems to be trying to intimidate the Spinda. Nari doesn't know how or why she wound up here, without powers, and she's pissed beyond belief about the last part. She's relying on a little blue dragon snake on protecting her.]

Fuck this I want to go home now. Don't even have my bow, so guess who's not getting a nice bearskin coat.

Swarm - Illumise and Volbeat

[Great. It's happening again. Nari is even less happy about having all of these weird little bugs around that remind her of really messed up Teletubbies. Her Dratini is trying her best to fight as many as she can, but since she doesn't have an effective move, all she's mostly doing is crowd control.]

God dammit. I know animals, and apparently bugs, like me, but I am not a Disney princess. Leslie, move aside. Time to kick these things.

[If you come across Nari... she's literally trying to shoo the bug types away with her foot, even kicking a few in the process. Nooooo, she's no violent at all. Nope.]

Video

[At least no Pokemon are being harmed during the broadcast.]

Heya people. Can anyone tell me why I have a blue snake with wings on its head following me- no offense, Leslie, but you look weird- because I thought for sure I'd get some badass huge dragon. And why I can't use any of my abilities here?

[Leslie the Dratini is far from offended. Just curious about what her trainer is up to.]

Also, where an I find a badass huge dragon.

video

[the video pulls up and it's holtzmann in what's definitely a lab of some kind with a gastly floating around behind her. holtzmann is grinning, like she's about to make an announcement. she is.]

Hello there, denizens of Johto and Kanto! It is I, Jillian Holtzmann, who some of you know may know from encounters. [she says this rather ominously, like its supposed to be spooky scary] I am here to announce a rather exciting new endeavor. So here it is:

[she clears her throat for dramatic effect, and changes her voice like she's a radio/tv announcer]

Are you suffering from ghost-type pokémon? Are they in your home where you just can't find them? Did you lose something in Lavender Town and you're too scared to get it back? Finally! An answer to your calls - the Ghostbusters. We will take care of any ghost problem big or small.

[she gives the number to call and then relaxes, still smiling]

Oh, and F-Y-I, when I say "take care of," I really mean "catch and love," not "destroy and maim." No Pokémon will be harmed in this process. Promise.

haze

[witness jillian holtzmann, phd & ghostbuster standing in the middle of the street. her back is towards the pokémart but she's scratching her neck like she's forgotten something]

Potions, berries, soda....what else...

[she paces back and forth for a moment, not paying attention (apologies if she runs into you, i'm sure!) before finally putting her finger in the air]

I've got it! Pokéballs. Very important! Excellent job forgetting, Holtzmann.

[sarcasm aside she turns herself right back around and heads back into the shop.]

Come in, you assholes. North! York! Carolina! [No response yet.] Tucker?

[Something taps Epsilons leg. He looks down for a moment as the watcher hears 'Cubone!' a few times.

After a moment he looks back at the screen.]

Ah fuck. Gimme a break. Way to go, everyone can see you! Well if that's the case. [He clears his throat.]

Does anyone know why I'm back here? Also, can anyone send me real food. Like a burger or Mac and cheese. I am not spending three days eating trail mix like a fucking hiking enthusiast.

[Worry Seed]

[This whole buzzed like he's just drunk eight cups of espresso feeling wasn't wearing off. HE HADN'T EVEN HAD A SINGLE CUP TODAY. Epsilon had been pacing back and forth for hours now in his hotel room. Now he's taken it to the street.

Anyone passing by him will notice a man and his Cubone pacing back and forth, occasionally spitting out angry remarks at how fucked up this situation is.

Why can't he sleeeeeeeeeeep....]

[Video]

[This balding guy's a bit weird, showing up in a full Ghostbusters jumpsuit. It's unzipped enough to leave show off a plain black t-shirt, but his colorful outfit doesn't seem to match well with the look of sheer disdain in his eyes.]

Hey, kids. [He offers a small wave.] Doctor Peter Venkman here, and you had better believe that I have several questions. I'm sure you guys get a lot of "whos" and "whats" and "whys". As a scientist, I'm expected to ask many of those same questions, and I would first like to ask where a man can get a very stiff drink around these parts.

By the way, really appreciating the background music, guys. Really. Keep that up.

[Flowers]

[Venkman is out smoking when the flowers start to fall, and it catches his eyes for only a second. He turns his nose up and the cigarette nearly drops out of his mouth in the process, before he finally exhales.]

Valentine's Day is so far away. [He speaks in a dry, sarcastic tone. To nobody in particular, really.] Shame. If this happened on February 13th, I definitely could've saved some money this year.

[What a happy looking... little girl? Young woman? For some reason, it's really hard to put a finger on her age, but she certainly acts young. There's a Beldum behind her too, but it's hard to see since the shot is... mostly her face. She is very close to the camera.]

Hello, there, strange new device! I see that you're recording me! Do I look good? I have literally no real way of knowing since my brain is human now and all this new sensory input is really messing with my "hot or not" functionalities! [And possibly her "AI or Not" ones.] You don't have to answer that, by the way, I'm just teasing.

Anyway, hello! I am Gortys, and this [She gestures to the Beldum!] is Not Gortys! [A stage whisper towards the camera. There is no possible way Not Gortys can't hear this.] I've never named something before and I kiiiind of panicked? Oops.

Anyway, hello! Oh, I already said that. What's your name?

[...]

Take your time!

[Action, Route 29]

What a beautiful day to capture several monsters at the behest of strangers who stuffed me into a fleshy body! I really like the color scheme on these "Pokeballs" [Jesus she did full and exaggerated air quotes.], they remind me of me before all the everything happened! Anywho, let's go, Not Gortys!

[The Beldum makes a happy noise.]

I think I'm going to name my second Pokemon... Susan.

[Wildcard!]

WHAT ELSE YOU GOT LET'S GO!!!

[Hey look guys it's... a hot lady! With a Vulpix in her lap that she's sort of absentmindedly petting. She's sitting on a bench somewhere?]

You know, I'm not used to streaming in a way that's so... safe for work. But I guess when a girl gets sucked across dimensions and already has an ex walking around, it's important to keep it clean, at least for first impressions.

[A sigh. The Vulpix looks up worriedly, and she frames the next section as though she's talking to it and scratching under its chin.]

Oh, sorry, Rubi. It's just been a long day, sugar. Lost my business and all my customers, that woman wanted me to call her mother without even buying me a drink first, you're the only silver lining so far.

[She looks back towards the camera.]

So if someone out there wants to give me a rundown of how this place works, I'd be awful thankful. And if anyone has any tips on how to get myself a liquor license, and where I could set up a bar, I'd make it worth your while~.

[... with a free drink, but she's not about to say that.]

Action, New Bark

[Rubi's running around her legs, and Moxxi is sort of... walking around. Which could honestly be enough to justify coming up to her, because I mean look at her, but.]

So you're gonna fight other animals for me, huh? Maybe there was some money in the Creature versus Creature Circle of Slaughter after all...

Vul?

Don't worry, Rubi, you're a little too cute to fit in something like that.

[Video]

Hello?

[All anyone watching will be able to see is one very large green eye, the frame wobbling as she tries to see what's inside the screen. Probably a spirit? That's the only thing that makes sense, right?]

Hello? Is someone in there? You can come out now, I mean, if you'd like. I know I'm not very exciting, but I'm friendly, and the little creature who won't stop following me is too. I think. Well, I hope.

[The display goes through a dizzying blur of grass, trees, grass, half of her face, more grass, and a patch of clouds before she manages to get a happily bobbing Phantump into the frame.]

Haunted trees usually aren't so nice, but this one is very small. I think it likes me!

...There is someone in there, isn't there?
