007. Video/Action for Ecruteak City

[Well, tonight will see another post from Ishimaru, and while the sun has long since dipped down beneath the horizon, the video is lit by an odd, bright purple light somewhere in front of him, and a dimmer red one that seems to be sort of sliding around slowly just out of view somewhere to his left; he's back in that white uniform, simply because it feels weird to him not to wear it, and while he's definitely outdoors, he seems to be rather high up - really, if the texture of the floor he's kneeling on is any indication, he seems to be on a roof somewhere.

Of course, if you're familiar with Ecruteak City, you'll likely recognize the view just barely visible behind him; he's up atop the Tin Tower today.

Either way, however, he seems in much higher spirits this time around; he's sort of smiling, even, though not quite - he's never really done happiness very well as far as facial expressions go, nor has he really done it very naturally - and his words are quick, rushed with excitement.]


Most of my studies deal in concrete fact - the paranormal, the theistic and the unexplained have never been anything that I've found useful, and so while I know a few of the more common myths from my own world, I've been willing to set them aside as just stories! But since coming here, I've met people who can say those stories are a reality - people who have spoken to ghosts, or been ghosts themselves; people who know of the existence of fairies and done magic themselves, or people from other worlds entirely. It's been interesting, if difficult to believe sometimes!

But it also makes me wonder how many of the myths here are true; I think a lot of it is like our creation mythology back home, just centered around Pokémon - people saw the animals here and attributed the creation of the world to their power, when that might not be the case. I think it warrants further study either way, though!

The place I'm at now...they say that one of the Legendary Pokémon used to call it home, but now it travels the world looking for trainers who are pure-hearted. I'm pretty sure that means I'll never see it, but I'd like to become the sort of person where it's at least a possibility someday.

[He'll be up there for some time longer, after the video cuts out and the feed goes dark; he's got his Litwick up there with him, and he's leaning up against one of the railings, looking out over the city skyline.

He also has a rather small Slugma up on the railing next to him; just...try not to knock it off if you join him, that'd make everyone kind of upset...]

Well, there's ghosts because there's ghost pokemon...so there's that.

Maybe they're reincarnated. Or, well, no...that wouldn't be right.

It's really weird. Have you looked at the 'dex entry for some of those ghost pokemon?

I read there are even some who used to be people.

I don't know...I've never met one. I've just read about them and their picture in the poke'dex makes them look like they're crying blood or something.

It's what it looks like to me...pokemon are weird. This whole place is weird. Isn't there supposed to be a lawnmower ghost pokemon? I don't know what it's called, but I've seen a picture.
no_ufo_ending: (thoughtful)

Oh. Oh, that's probably what I saw...that's still horrifying though. I remember we stayed in Goldenrod for a little while last year.

I actually worked in Sprout Tower for a short time. I helped clean up. It was hella spooky in there at night. Things would move around.
no_ufo_ending: (its been a weird day)

...Yeah, that was kinda hard to look at. I was always afraid the place might fall over.

This place is pretty crazy, yeah...and there's no cars. I've never walked so much in my life.
