Luna Lovegood | Harry Potter - Breeder - Voice Testing

[looneylovegood]

Azalea

[Luna was fascinated by the Slowpokes, honestly. She could have stayed there all day. Her Spinda was quite happy just hanging out and watching them with her, and Luna could feel the contentment from the pink creatures just ebbing into her. At some point, she found herself just sitting in the grass, surrounded by them, one in particular having decided to rest its head in her lap as it snoozed.

Luna quite happily just rubbed its cute little ears and gave another one a berry while Spinda just chowed down on a berry of its own.

She wasn't going to necessarily call out to anyone walking by, but, if someone noticed her or said something interesting in earshot, she would definitely say hi or even offer up some commentary in regards to whatever they're talking about.]

Network

[The video seemed to have just come on by itself. But there was a startled gasp followed by a somewhat dreamy sounding soft voice with a light pitch.]

So, that's how it works. Muggle technology is quite amazing, really. What they do to compensate for the lack of magic...

[There was an answering, "Spin. Spinda da. Da." Then, the scene shifted as if someone was rotating the Gear around until they could be seen. The girl on the video wasn't very extraordinary, her pale blonde hair framing her face on the left side with messy unkempt curls, but her bright blue eyes, while slightly dreamy looking, held something more behind them, indicating she was likely wiser than people probably gave her credit for.]

Hello. I've heard that this can allow me to communicate with others out there. My name is Luna. And this is Ella. [She shifted the Gear so that the Spinda could be seen next to her. The perpetually dizzy looking rabbit-like creature gave a wave, and then rolled over on to her back. Luna turned the Gear back to herself.] I'm new here, and apparently I've been given a handbook about breeding the creatures of this world. I've never been much of one for handbooks, though. [She paused.] I do like to make my own path. [And then she smiled again.] But this place does seem rather lovely. I guess I'm just looking for some tips.

Network

[crystalmaster]

Hi, Luna and Ella. I'm Radley. I'm a breeder too.

[He's currently holding three Eevees on his lap, somehow. One is climbing up his shoulder.]

What kinds of tips are you looking for?

[looneylovegood]

You are? [Luna smiled at that.]

Well, things like the best conditions for getting Pokémon to breed, and seeing which species are compatible. There's so much information in the handbook already. Do you have a preference for what kinds of Pokémon you like to breed? Is it best to focus on one type or is breeding different types a good path to consider?

[crystalmaster]

The best conditions are ...

[Radley laughs as the Eevee reaches his shoulder.]

Hey! You silly girl!

[He reaches up and pats her paws. The Eevee nuzzles his hair.]

The Pokemon need to be happy. They have to like each other a lot to want to breed together. I've been focusing on Eevees, but any Pokemon in the same egg group can breed. They always take after the mother, though, so you need to make sure the mother is the species you want.

[looneylovegood]

After the mother. Oh, that is interesting. I'll have to remember that. Thank you.

[Luna smiled at the Eevee.]

Are Eevees your favorite? This one is called a Spinda. Apparently, they have various spot patterns.

[crystalmaster]

Sure.

[Isla the Eevee warbles happily. Evie and Evan continue to lay on Radley's lap.]

They've definitely become one of my favorites, but I love all my Pokemon. I haven't ever seen a Spinda before. That's cute.

[looneylovegood]

It resembles a rabbit in a way, which is kind of like my Patronus. [Really. This was a different world, right? Did it matter if she talked about magic spells? Probably not. She was okay with that.] The Slowpokes are cute, too. I've been in Azalea for a couple of days now, and part of me almost doesn't want to leave.

[crystalmaster]

It does look like a rabbit.

... Patronus?

Azalea's a popular place. I need to get over there and check it out.

[looneylovegood]

Mm-hm. It's something creating using a Patronus charm. A protective spell. Mine happens to look like a rabbit when I can summon a full one. It's very advanced magic, though. It can be hard to learn.

[She smiled at the idea of someone else visiting the Slowpokes.]

Oh, yes. And you should definitely visit the Slowpoke well while you're here. It's a little chilly inside, so I do recommend having a light jumper, but spending time with the Slowpokes is very relaxing.

[crystalmaster]

That sounds pretty cool.

[Another magic user? Interesting.]

I'll do that. They sure seem like the kind of Pokemon who know how to relax. That's usually the opposite of Evie here.

[Today Evie just wants to stay close to Radley instead of romping and playing.]

[looneylovegood]

I haven't met any truly excitable Pokémon, yet, but I imagine it's a lot like having a puppy or a kitten.

[crystalmaster]

Pretty much! Eevees are closer to cats in personality, I think, but there's some dog traits in there too.

[looneylovegood]

It's strange. There are so many creatures here who are so much more fantasy like and magical than a standard Muggle pet. Yet, they still have others that seem so much more like what most people would have for a pet.

[crystalmaster]

Yeah, the Pokemon are pretty varied.... Uh, a Muggle?

[looneylovegood]

[Ah, right... the magic thing again.]

Yes. That's what wizards and witches call people with no magic. Well, people outside of magical families with no magic.

[crystalmaster]

... Oh. So you're from a magical world?

[Interesting. Another one....]

[looneylovegood]

Mm-hm. I've seen a few people here who are from the same one.

[crystalmaster]

That's great! I'm glad you know people here from home.

[He still wished his friends from home could come.]

[looneylovegood]

It certainly helps to make it an easier adjustment.

[She considered his statement for a moment.]

Do you have anyone familiar here?

[crystalmaster]

I found some people from home, but we didn't know each other before. There's no one here I actually knew before.

[looneylovegood]

Oh. [Luna nodded slightly.] Well, that does sound a bit lonely. But, it is a good opportunity to meet new people.

Network: I've been DYING to tag this!!!

[logical_lioness]

[Hermione had been poring through more Pokemon history books when she heard her Pokegear vibrate. She blinked blearily for a moment before her eyes suddenly widened. She knew that voice! Hermione launched herself over to grab her Pokegear, almost tripping over a pile of books on the floor of her room. Her face appeared on the screen, her hair looking a little more disheveled than usual.]

Luna? LUNA! Merlin, you're actually here! Wait, where exactly are you? I'll come right away!

[While speaking, Hermione is frantically tugging on her boots, and throwing stuff into a satchel as she gets ready to go.]

Yee!

[looneylovegood]

[The somewhat panicked tone on the other end of the Gear definitely got Luna's attention, and she peered closely for a moment, a smile forming on her face as she did.]

Hermione! [Another familiar face! She'd seen Harry earlier that day.] I am... wherever 'here' really is. It's a strange place. But I'm glad to see some familiar faces. [She shifted the Gear awkwardly to show her surroundings, definitely not someone used to doing that sort of thing with such a device. There was a fleeting shot of a Spinda, and then quite a few lazy Slowpoke that seemed to be just hanging out with her.] I'm in a town called Azalea. Though, there doesn't seem to be a lot of azalea bushes. Just these cute lazy pink creatures instead.

[logical_lioness]

Yes, it definitely is.

[She's commenting distractedly as she crams stuff into a bag. The camera on the gear jiggles as she runs downstairs.]

There's a plant theme for most of the town names in Johto, while Kanto seems to run on a colour theme, with the exception of Pallet, however when you think about it, Pallet is likely based on the word palette, you know, like an artist's palette. Oh, and the pink pokemon is called a Slowpoke.

[Trust Hermione to give a geography lesson now of all times. The gear straightens up as she calls out her Altaria, Nimbus.]

Hold tight Luna, I'll be there in under half an hour!

Nimbus, we need to go to the Olivine Pokemon Centre.

[There's a chirp and a rustle as Hermione clambers onto Nimbus' back, the gear showing lot of white cloud for a moment.]


[OOC: Will switch from Network to Action for Hermione's next tag, when she arrives in Azalea :).]

[looneylovegood]

[Honestly, Luna didn't mind. She just listened, letting Hermione ramble on. It was kind of nice, really. Familiar. And it was information that she would likely need later, knowing Hermione. So, she'd keep a hold of it for herself and absorb anything else the other girl was willing to share.

She also noticed those clouds. She propped her elbow on her knees and then her chin on her hand, gazing at it for a moment and watching how it moved in the background of the video. 'Nimbus'. Appropriate. The name got a smile on Luna's face.]

I'll be here. The Slowpokes are very friendly, and are keeping Ella and I good company.

["Spin!" Ella the Spinda kind of rolled past, her teetering gate making her look perpetually dizzy.]

We're on the side of town with the well, just enjoying the grass and sun.
