001. Action for Goldenrod City/Video

[ACTION FOR GOLDENROD CITY]

[Well, if you're on the streets this evening in the general vicinity of the Radio Tower, you will likely come across a figure in what looks like a cross between a white gakuran and a military uniform (no, seriously, those boots cannot be school issue, can they?); he's got his arms folded tightly across his chest, almost as though he's cold despite being nothing of the sort, and he's staring rather intently upward.

Not at anything in particular. Just looking up at the sky.

However, if you're close enough (and you're probably close enough because he is pretty much the opposite of subtle), it'll be fairly obvious that he's probably not seeing much of anything despite the intensity of his gaze, given that he's got an impressive amount of tears going on. Like, "that should probably not be coming out of human eyes" levels of impressive. Holy shit. Tears. All over. Like he's seen the face of God or something.

Someone might want to poke him or make sure his brain hasn't just shorted out or something, he'll be here all night otherwise.]



[VIDEO]

[Hello, Johto! Sometime this evening you are being treated to some serious jittercam, courtesy of one of your newer arrivals (after he's come out of whatever trance he was in earlier because good lord almighty there is sky out here). It's not quite enough to make you seasick, but more than enough to make you wonder exactly how it is your life has come to this and who gave the complete amateur a camera before everything seems to even out. The video eventually seems to settle on a rather...uh, severe-looking kid with short, dark hair, red eyes and eyebrows that go forever, and whatever he's doing, he seems deeply annoyed with it, goodness. Who invited the spawn of Satan to the Poképarty...

And then he seems to figure out that he is, in fact, filming, and his response is so immediately joyful it'll give you whiplash if you are not properly strapped in. His grin is open and incredibly genuine, the expression entirely unguarded; he sets the device down on a table in front of him, as he appears to be outside still, and he immediately starts waving at it a bit - both through utter glee and trying to see if it actually is tracking properly.]


Ha ha ha - so it does work! This is excellent news, excellent! Now, if I can get it to -

[His voice is a bit odd - it's loud and enthusiastic, but it's strangely blunted, as though he hasn't...quite worked out how voice inflection works but dammit, he's trying. He reaches out while he talks, the conversation dissolving into rather pleased muttering to himself as he tries to turn off the 'Gear and promptly...uh, sends the video, good job.]


[VIDEO, TWO MINUTES AFTER THE FIRST]

[Well, Captain Eyebrows here seems to have gotten himself under a bit more control, though the amount of volume is still going to make people why he even bothered with a video - surely he can be heard in Kanto by now. He's clearly trying to sound authoritative; the effect is just...horribly shouty.]

My name is Ishimaru Kiyotaka, a student of the 78th annual class at Hope's Peak Academy! It's excellent to have a way to contact all of you, even if the situation that's brought it about is very weird indeed!

Whoever is responsible for this turn of events, I would like to both thank you for your generosity regarding the situation, and yet express my general confusion at what it is you expect me to do here! It would be appreciated if I could thank you in person - or...speak to you properly or knew who you were...hm.

[He...seems to have lost himself for a moment, hang on - ]

At any rate - if I've learned anything in my studies of others, it's that cooperation is the best way to ensure success! If you could introduce yourselves and tell me where it is you come from, I would be very grateful - let's make the most of this weird situation by working hard and working together!

[End feed!

...Ishimaru, please...]
nostabbing: (SHINY ⚡ can i have that i want that)

Parallel universe. We all got zapped into a video game between there and here.

[Obviously.]
nostabbing: (INTERJECT ⚡ actually that's really dumb)

[personal profile] nostabbing 2013-04-25 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it's definitely not Earth. We don't have fighting mushrooms on Earth. Or teleporters. Unless the government has teleporters and they're just not telling us, but I'm pretty sure we'd know about it if there were teleporters. Maybe.

[Memo to self: ask Hardison to hack the FBI/CIA/NSA/Other Assorted Acronyms secret files and find out if they have teleporters.]
nostabbing: (NOTES ⚡ fifty points from gryffindor)

[personal profile] nostabbing 2013-04-25 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
Not yet. But nobody does.

[Although she did see those files in the Rocket mainframe about something called The Machine...]

Does it really matter? We're here. Whether or not you remember how you got here, you still got here, right? So it must've happened, or you wouldn't be here.
nostabbing: (REPEAT ⚡ but then who was phone)

[And it's that sudden burst of vague hostility that prompts Parker to pause, setting her full attention on him and staring intently for a few moments.

(If one didn't know better, one might almost think she were appreciating him.)

Then, at last: ]


What were you doing before you got here?
nostabbing: (TIRED ⚡ still the bravest little toaster)

[personal profile] nostabbing 2013-04-25 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh. Oh, jeez, this poor kid. Parker isn't always the greatest at empathy, but school + kid + incident rarely adds up into something good.

Accordingly, her expression goes less severe and more like comforting, and maybe a little sad.]


You're safe here.

[Did anyone...had anyone told him that? Someone should tell him that.]

It's okay.

[Another day, another yelling kid trying to take charge. Blake's not buying it.]

Who ordered the motivational speaker?
nostabbing: (SKEPTIC ⚡ nobody actually likes dubstep)

[personal profile] nostabbing 2013-04-25 07:59 am (UTC)(link)
What?

[No, wait, hang on, some wires got crossed here.]

No, my name is Alice.

[Look, she understands if you forgot it, considering she forgets it herself about three times a day, but where the hell did you get "Whitesan" from? Whites and what? Colors?]
lieutenantantichrist: (they will view you as conflicted)

[personal profile] lieutenantantichrist 2013-04-25 08:01 am (UTC)(link)
[The kid's chirpy optimism hits a solid wall of Blake.]

If you want to find the people in charge here, better face it now: your best isn't gonna be good enough.
nostabbing: (TOSS ⚡ superior to neil patrick harris)

[personal profile] nostabbing 2013-04-25 08:03 am (UTC)(link)
No, not Allison. Alice. A-L-I-C-E.

[BRO ARE YOU DUMB 'CAUSE IT'S OK IF YOU ARE BUT JUST SAYIN'.]
nostabbing: (LECTURE ⚡ sit down and shut up)

[personal profile] nostabbing 2013-04-25 08:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Says the guy who can't even get her name right.]

Then why aren't you calling me Alice?
nostabbing: (EAGER ⚡ but will there be chocolate)

[personal profile] nostabbing 2013-04-25 08:10 am (UTC)(link)
...You mean like where you have to stab yourself if you did something that makes your family ashamed of you?

[PARKER.]
nostabbing: (FAKE ⚡ what no this laugh is totes legit)

[personal profile] nostabbing 2013-04-25 08:13 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Whoops.

[...What would a normal socially-adept person do here? MAKE A JOKE.]

Ha-hah! Right! Sure wouldn't want to get those two mixed up! ...yeah.
