ghostytrainer | prank #10 | video / action for route 32

[The video feed clicks on at three o'clock in the morning, a curious looking Eevee's face taking up the screen. She nudges the camera with her nose a bit, as though trying to straighten the camera. She then disappears off-screen, revealing a lovely nighttime view of route 32. A little ways away stand two human figures, accompanied but a Gastly which appears to be in the middle of a battle. The image is kind of wobbly and low to the ground, indicating that, once again, a pokémon has gotten a hold of his or her trainer's pokegear. Since one of the trainers is clearly John (for those of you who know him), it should be fairly obvious who the pokémon operating the camera is. ~~Hint: it isn't Sassacre.~~]

Night Shade again, Slimer.

[John doesn't sound nearly as enthusiastic as usual. This is one of the side effects of being dragged out of your hotel room at 9pm and being forced into a non-stop grinding session. Rose, you are a slave driver.]

[Slimer however, seems to be pretty enthusiastic still (probably because he's only been the focus of this training session for the past forty five minutes or so) and obliges, finishing his opponent with glee.]

Wooo! That was good. Okay...can we go back to the hotel now, Rose? Are we done here yet?

I'm not certain, John. Has Slimer evolved yet?

...No.

I believe you have answered your own question then.

[There are a few Buneary and Eevee equivalents of giggles from nearby off-screen as John gives Rose a look that says something along the lines of "Are you serious?!" In return, Rose gives him one that says "Quite, now get a move on." Realizing that he's fighting a losing battle here, John groans and begins shuffling through the grass in search of another random wild pokemon for Slimer to defeat. Notebook in hand, Rose follows after him, eager to add more strategies to the growing list on the pages of her notebook.]

((OOC: Video tags will get a response from John, Rose, or both once Slimer has finally evolved. Rose is determined to have John level-grind until his pokémon are strong enough to take on the gym, he's not allowed to answer the 'gear till she's satisfied.))

[He stares up at her hand for a moment. Then, still grinning, he reaches up and grabs her hand, pulling himself to his feet.]

Dinner, breakfast...doesn't matter to me as long as it's food. [He's not worrying about the technicalities here, he just needs something edible!]

Good. [[She smiles...out of relief? It looks like a relieved smile. Before moving to gather her things.]]

Did you have any preference as to which restaurant?

Nope, doesn't matter to me.

[Like he said, it doesn't matter as long as it's food! He swings his bag over his shoulder and comes to a sudden realization.]

Hey, do you have Slimer? Or did you give him back to me and I just don't remember what I did with him?

[Then another realization.]

Oh my god! CASEY!

[Brb, freaking out and sprinting out of the grass to go find his baby.]

I'm sure she's fi--

[[...Stares after. And just. Follows calmly.]]

[No. No she isn't, Rose. She could have been stolen or eaten or gotten lost or run into a tree or been attacked by a colony of ants! His baby is most certainly in trouble so he is gone! Have you ever even seen him run that fast? At that pace, you'll never catch up to him.]

[[She has to wonder how, when only moments before he was drained, he somehow managed to muster such energy. Obviously Casey was no ordinary rabbit. She was definitely somebunny--er, somebody important.

Puns. Heh.

Picking up her pace, she jogs after, glancing around the clearing once reaching it.]]

John. I am sure she is fine. We left her with Guile.

[~~Such is the power of the desire to reunite with one's loving daughter.~~]

[When you finally catch up, Rose, you'll be greeted by the sight of John hugging Casey tightly. No surprises, she and Guile were right where they had been left and were not harmed in anyway. But that's not stopping John from cuddling his baby bunny and telling her he's sorry and how he won't leave her alone in the grass again.]

[Casey has no idea what's going on. As usual, she's just happy to be getting all the loves. Really, she hadn't had a problem with John leaving.]

[[She has been doing a lot of staring recently. She knew you loved Casey John, but...]]

...you are being absolutely ridiculous.

[[Don't mind her own scooping up of Guile and giving her a few nuzzles.]]

[~~Again, loving daughter!~~]

No I'm not...I was worried.

[Looking a little downcast, do you really think he's ridiculous?]

Worried is one thing, John, but really? Is all of this really needed?

...Yes. Yes it is.

[He is dead serious about this.]

Edited 2011-03-23 02:55 (UTC)

[[And she is obviously quite irritated with this, pinching the bridge of her nose with a sigh.]]

Are you quite ready to leave? I suppose at least all of this ridiculous reuniting has given the restaurants time to open.

[He nods, still holding Casey close. At least he's not cuddling her as though they've been separated for years anymore? Is that a plus?]

Yup, I'm ready whenever you are.

[[Barely. Turning on her heels, she begins marching back to town, Guile waving excitedly at Casey and John. Hiiii! Hiiiiiii!]]

Do you have any preference as to where we eat? It will likely be breakfast.

H-Hey! Wait up!

[He dashes after her, still holding Casey who is waving right back! Guile! Guiiiiillleee!!]

[[Rolling her eyes, she stops, glancing back at him. Once he's caught up, she raises a brow.]]

Should I hold your hand this time? To make sure you are leaving with me rather than so far after me?

No...I got it. [He furrows his brows, turning a little pink as a look of indignation crosses his face. He's a big boy, Rose. He can tie his own shoelaces and everything!]

[[Sometimes she has to wonder! And so, she takes a few steps forward, looking back at him to make sure he's following.]]

Again, where would you like to eat?

[He is indeed following you! ~~Aren't you PROUD?~~]

Oh, sorry. You did ask that, didn't you. Um...anywhere is fine with me, it doesn't matter to me.

You don't even have a preference in food?

[[She already seemed to know where to take him however, leading them east once they hit town.]]

[He shakes his head.]

Like I said earlier, at this point I really don't care as long as it's food. So whatever you want is fine with me.

Pancakes and waffles it is then.

[[Into one of the few restaurants that are open at this time of morning she leads, waiting for John as she surveys for a place to sit.]]

You wouldn't mind a booth, would you?

Sounds good to me!

[Wheeee, following you, Rose.]

No, I don't mind.
