prank #41 | video

[When the feed clicks on, it's to a close up shot of a Shedinja floating inside what appears to be a hotel room. The ghost is just staring blankly at the screen, neither moving nor giving any other sort of indication that it's alive or that it really had any reason for apparently deciding to turn the gear on.]

[Just. Staring.]

[It's probably kind of unnerving and the worst part is that this goes on for a good twenty minutes before something else finally happens.]


Ugh, Phoebe did you hide my gear somewhere again? It was cute and kind of funny like the first maybe...three times? But that's really starting to wear off, sorry to say. Jeez, where is everyone it's like a gravey--

[John's voice can be heard in the background, and just as he wonders to himself where all his Pokémon went, his feet can be seen in the background behind the Shedinja. He sighs.]

Well that explains where everyone went at least. [The neon green argyle sock-clad feet approach the bug ghost and the camera.] Exos, what are you doing over here...oh. Ugh, not you too! Jesus what does a guy have to do, I swear... [The camera jostles as John, still mumbling to himself, picks the 'gear up. He redirects the camera to his own face, looking a little exasperated.]

Sorry about that. Exos is...well okay I have no idea what the fuck he was trying to accomplish there, if anything at all. But since this is already on, may as well make some kind of point here I guess. Umm, let's see...

Tell me about your favorite type of Pokémon. Or your favorite species, anything like that. Feel free to gush about your team and the things you have accomplished together, I don't mind. It's actually kind of fun to hear what other people have to say about their companions.

Here, I will even go first. Ghost types are my favorite and thanks to Bro Strider, I recently finished my collection of grim, grinning ghosts. I now have at least one of every ghost-type evolutionary line. My favorite species is Haunter. Mostly for nostalgia reasons but Haunters have the added benefit of just being pretty awesome in general.

Before I answer your question, would you mind telling me about that little darling that was on the screen? I don't think I've ever seen a Pokémon like it.

[It looked like a bug, but there was something...ghostly about it. Clearly that meant she needed it.]
queenbeeyotch: (Judging- Those shoes with THAT hair?)

[Wow that was...a lot to take in. She got the gist of it, sure, but somethings went over her head. Not that she's going to let that be obvious.]

It certainly does seem like a type of Pokémon I would be interested in! Although...you mentioned something about how I should be glad I never saw one. Is there any particular reason why you said that?
queenbeeyotch: (Annoyed- Oh what now?)

[Blink. Blink.]

...you can't be serious.
queenbeeyotch: (WTF- I don't know you nor do I want to.)

Have you ever seen this happen to someone else? Because this sounds pretty out there to moi.

Because stories like that aren't always real. People will say whatever they want for attention. Is this honestly that surprising?

While I doubt that machine is accurate all of the time, I'm not about to argue something that has been proven right.

[She shrugs.]

Either way, you told me what I wanted to know, so I suppose I can answer your question. Favorite type and species, yes?
queenbeeyotch: (Admiring- Well that went well.)

I'm still a bit new here, but so far I'd have to say my favorite type is Bug. I think a lot of them are absolutely gorgeous, especially Vespiquen in particular. She also happens to be my personal favorite, if you were curious.

[Which, of course you were. It's Barby, everyone should be curious about what she likes and what she doesn't. Clearly.]

Yes, that's right. In fact, I have one on me right now. Victoria darling, could you come here for a moment?
queenbeeyotch: (Victoria- Idle)

[Barely a few seconds later, the massive bee hovers over towards her trainer with the camera now focusing on her. She even strikes a pose befitting on a model...guess who taught her that.]

Isn't she beautiful?
queenbeeyotch: (WTF- I don't know you nor do I want to.)

[She clearly doesn't look too happy at the giggling, raising one of its claws in warning. In response, Barby tries to comfort it.]

Don't worry about him, dear. I doubt he meant anything by it.

[She turns back to John.]

While Victoria is indeed elegant, she also has feelings and she doesn't take kindly to someone giggling at her. I expect an apology.

[Yeah, she's completely serious right now.]
queenbeeyotch: (Happy- And not smug for a change.)

[Video]

[personal profile] queenbeeyotch 2013-05-18 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
See, I told you he didn't mean anything by it.

[While that may be so, Victoria looks a bit skeptical. Even after the apology she's still a bit huffy, but she warms up to John pretty quickly once he compliments her. Seems like this Vespiquen isn't so different from John's Froslass after all...

Barby turns her attention back to John after giving her Pokémon a small pat on the head.]


Looks like she forgave you. Isn't that right, darling?

[To confirm, Victoria nods her head before flying offscreen. Probably to go look at herself in the mirror. Again.]

Anyway, I don't believe either of us introduced ourselves. My name's Barby.

I wouldn't recommend it, no. Victoria has quite the fierce temper.

[Kind of like her trainer...]

And it's nice to meet you too, John. Shame things started off a bit...rocky.
