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...]
enjoymyatelier: have fun storming the castle, kayneth (a totally honorable mage duel)

I believe so, actually. There was some sort of altercation shortly after I arrived when, I believe, people encountered the legendary beasts Raikou, Entei, and Suicune. Unfortunately, I can't recall who met these creatures, but it does seem as though it happened.
enjoymyatelier: it kind of smells (wow that is just really gross)

I heard about it from a reliable source, and the situation was quite unusual outside of that - environmental disasters, bizarre storms associated with their respective types... those sorts of things.
enjoymyatelier: kayneth looking smug as hell in a mocking way (well who's this douchebag?)

[...he kind of forgets what he was told

uh

OH WELL HE DOESN'T LIKE THIS KID ANYWAY, TIME TO BE A DICK]


Oh, come now. Surely you aren't just expecting me to hand that to you, are you?
enjoymyatelier: imagine that in italics (heh.)

Enjoy spending over a year barely learning anything regardless of how much you apply yourself, then.
