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...]

At least we're outside though!

[He seems pretty pleased with that. But he does understand what Ishimaru's saying and he nods.]

Yeah, it'll be difficult, but it's nothing we can handle together, aniki! We'll figure this place out!

Hey, the sky can be just as beautiful at night! I mean, fuck, the sky's gonna be beautiful no matter what since we haven't seen it in so long!

Yeah, 'course they do! There's gotta be some way to bring 'em here, I mean fuck, we're here! So all we've gotta do is figure it out and bring the rest here! Simple!

[Of course that's probably easier said than done. Still, there's reason to believe that they can do this and Mondo seems pretty excited with that idea. ...Even if that does mean bringing Togami here.]

Of fucking course there isn't!

[He seems pretty proud of that, actually...]

Well, no, maybe not, but we've got each other! We'll figure it all out together, aniki!

Good point! I've done a little exploring on my own, but this city is fucking huge! There's a giant department store over that way, exits from the city in the north and the south, and there's some kinda casino not too far from here. That's what I've got so far, anyway. But c'mon, surely there's plenty of other shit we can find!

Fuck yeah, now that's what I'm talking about! Where do you wanna head first?

[personal profile] diamondo 2013-04-28 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Aww man, c'mon! We totally look legal!

[Right??]

I haven't really checked, no. I pretty much scoped out the town from north to south last night, so it's possible I missed something anyway. There might be other exits east and west though, so I guess we should look there first!

[Whoa, whoa, okay, the bold says enough!!]

Why don't we go together? Two sets of eyes are better than one, right? 'Sides, this city's pretty huge and I get the feeling someone's gonna get lost.

Hey, I didn't mean just you! I got pretty fucking turned around last night too!

[Oh of course that's not the point, Ishimaru...]

[...Yeah, yeah, he knows who the leader is... Just let him catch up, alright?]

Hey, maybe while we're here we can see if there's a bike store! I mean, fuck, this is a pretty huge city, if any place's got one, I'd imagine it'd be the city!

[And he will be sorely disappointed if he can't get a motorcycle.]
