002 ☠ video / action for VIOLET CITY

[kringlefuck]

<sub>[ We haven't really seen or heard much from Jake English since he arrived here. He found his connections, and his friends back home, and he seems to be content interacting with those that he already knows. He's pretty extroverted, really, he just gets super nervous.
Jake is nervous looking, again. It seems he's reporting from a Pokemon Center, yet again, and asking for assistance.

Are we beginning to see a pattern here?

This time, it's on video, and he sounds out of breath.
For those who haven't seen to heard him before, the teen couldn't appear over 18, and his voice carried a peculiar accent. You could say it was not-so-quite-Australian. ]</sub>

Um! Ah—
Does anybody know anything about ghost Pokemon?
Oh, drat. Where are my manners? Ummm. Good evening! How are you all? Do you have any information about ghost Pokemon? What does it like? What does it eat? How to control it? Ummm,

I think I accidentally caught one!

_{[ Yeah, he sounds pretty desperate. There isn't much else for him to go on about. ]}

Jake what the hell are you doing, fussing at your gear. Why don't you just ask Dave, he's probably seen most of this shit already.

[Dirk's been keeping his distance for the most part, but not being unfriendly. He's just never really been big on getting in Jake's personal space since he showed up. So here he is again, hands in his pockets, about a foot away to Jake's left with a quirked eyebrow leaning around to peer at his gear.]

[kringlefuck]

_{[ Jake jumps, a bit startled at Dirk's presence.
The boy stares up at him blankly, blinking a few times. ]}

Ummmm.

_{[ Really, he had no answer, so: ]}

What're you doing here, Dirk?

[heartsplintered]

[This face.]

Dude, why wouldn't I be here. We're traveling together. I'm making sure you're not getting lost.

[kringlefuck]

Well, of course! But I didn't expect you all up and here in this quaint little Pokemon Center.

_{[ A bright smile. ]}

I'm not lost one bit, fella!
I recognize the illuminating, red lights that indicate a Pokemon Center nearby, and I find this is my favorite place to refuge, granted because it's chilly-willy out.

_{[ . . . . ]}

Are you lost?

[HELLO FRIEND DID YOU SAY YOU NEEDED ASSISTANCE WITH GHOSTS? Well here's the self-proclaimed expert.]

[Dear god, John, don't look so excited about this.]

What species of ghost are we talking here?

[kringlefuck]

_{[ oh hello there doppelganger son-thing.
Jake scratches the back of his neck. ]}

Um. Not quite certain— hang on a tic.

_{[ He's just gonna look through his Pokedex here. ]}

Mis..dreavus?

_{[ though, he pronounces it like so: "mis-dreh-vuhs" ]}

video ;

[ghostytrainer]

Ah, you got one of the cute ones! Hehe, but they also tend to be one of the more mischievous species, as their name implies. So that's definitely something to be aware of, especially since that mischievousness usually manifests by way of scaring the crap out of people.

[His voice never loses its chipper, enthusiastic tone.]

But that actually serves a purpose, aside from just being fun for them I guess. See, they feed off of fear. [He gestures to his neck.] With those little pearl things. But you can feed them normal food too, just like you would any other Pokémon. So I wouldn't advise discouraging it from trying to scare people and Pokémon but you might want to set some boundaries with it.

<sub>[ John you talk a lot and it's hard for Jake to keep up. He nods through John's entire spiel, though he does honestly get lost somewhere in the middle of it.

The last part of John's talk gets his attention. ]</sub>

Boundaries?
How so? It seems pretty strong willed.

[styxiedust]

...How do you accidentally catch a Ghost Pokemon?

[Vaguely British-sounding chick seems v unimpressed over here.]

video ;

[kringlefuck]

Ah, um, hello.
It.. kind of followed me, I guess. I mean, that's how it all started.

video ;

[styxiedust]

Hello, dear.

[A pause.]

Yes, all right, but...accidentally? Did you throw the first thing you could think of at it or did it fly into the Pokeball?

video ;

[kringlefuck]

Well. It kept taunting me, I think throwing a Pokeball was the easiest solution, but I'm not sure if that's precisely what I wanted to do.
It wasn't weakened or anything— as soon as the ball hit it in seemed to not put up a struggle at all!

I was hoping it would at least buy me time to run away from it.

[imthe_shit]

You accidentally caught a Pokemon?

video ; 1.2

[kringlefuck]

_{[ Give him a second.
There is something extraordinary about this man.
It's so extraordinary, he doesn't properly answer his question. ]}

video ; 2.2

[kringlefuck]

Sir! If I can be so inclined to say, you have the most spectacular mustache I do believe I've ever seen!
Aside from those in the movie-pictures, but those aren't always real.

_{[ NOTHING ELSE MATTERS.
HE'S JEALOUS. ]}

[ video ] sdfkjsdjfshd

[imthe_shit]

....

... You like it...?

video;

[lullabytes]

What it likes...depends on the species. I think...

[ That response comes with a little yawn.

She's a bit tired at the moment, forgive her. ]

video;

[kringlefuck]

_{[ ooooh, sleepy girl. Jake blinks a few times before replying. ]}

Um!
It's a little ghosty with no arms and it really likes scaring the bejeebus out of me. I think it's called a Misdreavus.

video;

[lullabytes]

Misdreavus...the Screech Pokémon. ...Misdreavus loves being mischievous by pulling people's hair and shocking them.

[ .......Pokedex entries, WHAT UP. ]

Is that what it's doing to you...? Or is it crying out to scare you...?

[dressofheaven]

[Hello Jake, the Dusknoir looming in front of the camera on this gear would like to attempt to help you with your problem.

By staring ominously at you for several moments.

And then shrieking like some sort of unholy beast from the depths of hell.]

GOTT IN HIMMEL! [Yes, the offscreen trainer of this ghost (a young girl by the sound of it) is so mad she fell into German for a moment there.] Orpheus, cut it out!

[kringlefuck]

<sub>[ Okay, if that Pokemon was not evolved and still a Duskull, he might REALLY like that. But since it's this scary thing, of course he's going to scream right in unison with it, then cover his mouth.

He stares wide eyed at his device, trying to decipher what is going on. ]</sub>

[dressofheaven]

[Fortunately for him, in short order a young white-haired girl has shoved the obnoxious ghost to the side and recommandeered the gear. She glares daggers at her Dusknoir.]

What is it that got your attention this time? [Turning her attention to the gear, she notices Jake... and if she were less angry right now his reaction would probably be a little funny. As it is, though, she just sighs.]

Are you the one my Dusknoir decided to harass today?

Action!!!!

[gardentrainer]

Did you name your Pokemon yet? Is it a girl or a boy?

[Jade wants to knowwww.] Are you having trouble with it?

8') cutie

[kringlefuck]

_{[ Oh, and here comes Jade, trotting over to where he's seated in the Pokemon Center. He scratches the side of his cheek. ]}

Erm. Well, not this new one. I haven't taken it out yet, but the Cubone is a boy, and I decided to name him Golgothas.

_{[ there's a grin! ]}

I dare say I think I'm getting accustomed to his antics!

She is excited for Jake okok

[gardentrainer]

[She plops down next to Jake.]

What kind of antics does he have? My Absol is kind of serious and he likes to protect me, but I found that he really likes to play fetch!

You should take out your new one soon. Maybe it'll want to play.
