003. Video/Action for Cherrygrove City, and also one other thing
[PRIVATE VIDEO TO COLONEL ARCHER]
[The video is short, only a few seconds long; the most that can really be gleaned from the background for the time being is that it sounds like there's ocean nearby, the surf splaying up against the rocks in the background. Ishimaru isn't really wasting time; he's here to say his piece and then move on, clearly.]
Good afternoon, Colonel Archer! I've done what you asked of me, with regards to getting Pokémon to be researched - I'm awaiting further instructions!
Thank you in advance for your time!
[VIDEO]
[For once the feed is showing somewhere other than Goldenrod when it flickers on; Ishimaru seems to have taken up refuge on one of the larger rocks near the beach in Cherrygrove. He's not too high up, because there's no sense in risking literally falling into what would surely be a really anticlimactic set of injuries; his expression on the video is still rather severe, but that's moreso due to just being how he is rather than him actually being displeased with anything.
Dear lord, though, is it overcast out here.]
While it troubles me to see how little people prioritize education and proper study over everything else, I understand that most see pointless activities as a -
[...he hesitates for a moment, flinching back a little and blinking at something that can't exactly be seen on the feed; he shakes his head after a second before moving on, seeming to decide that whatever small stimulus caused that isn't worth bothering with.]
...r-right, anyway!! People have been trying to explain why they engage in such senseless activities and that they don't see them as a...
...
...waste...of time...
[He twitches a little again, swiping across the bridge of his nose with two fingers and studying them intensely, as though understanding whatever he was swiping away is fundamental to saving the damn world.]
Is it raining...?
[It's about then that he looks up, and...]
...Kyohei, shut that off for a second -
[VIDEO, ABOUT TWO MINUTES AFTER THE FIRST.]
[Well! Ishimaru's no longer in view - it seems he's decided to hold the device instead - so it's a bit hard to tell if he's still got that immensely strict expression going on; however, the camera is slanted sharply skyward, toward that overcast sky. The angle isn't an error; rather, it's showing off some...rather thick white flakes falling from on high.
Snow in June? Snow in June.Thank you, mods.
Ishimaru can be heard laughing a bit in the background; the sound is oddly blunted, but it still the sound of a person that is approximately a thousand percent done with the day.]
This makes no sense whatsoever. None.
[At least it's too warm to stick for very long, though the moisture on the device is contributing to some awesome JJ Abrams lensflare effects.]
Tell me - is it doing this where any of you are as well, or...?
[The feed will shut off immediately after that's out there; those wanting action can find him wandering around Cherrygrove, looking incredulous as hell and, as Parker would describe it, he's definitely appreciating the sky today because good lord he cannot stop staring at this.
A thousand percent done.]

It's still a waste of time, you know! But maybe I'll humor you when the time comes - we'll see!
no subject
It's not a waste of time! Entertaining yourself's never a waste of time! You can't always do productive shit!
no subject
...you just said it's not a waste of time, yet it's not productive, either - it not being productive is what makes it a waste of time in the first place!

Like I said, no promises! But maybe I'll join you, if the others are participating!
no subject
Uh, right. But yeah, you really should try it at least once!

[Let's move on, you can have another shove.]

[Yeah, well you can have a light punch in the arm!!]
