☘ 005; [video]

[This morning the video shows Route 30 from ground level; judging by the sounds, a Venonat is the one messing with the 'Gear today. Her trainer sitting on the ground nearby hadn't seemed to notice it was on just yet. Lancer's hair wasn't even tied back, and it looked like he'd been asleep until not too long ago.]

Some holiday. Leave it to humans to come up with something this ridiculous. [The former Servant spoke mostly to himself, running a hand through his dark and disheveled hair.] But knowing you, you probably would have done something for it.

[Rummaging through his backpack, Lancer kept talking to himself.] If I was even with you for this long, I imagine you'd have made some kind of excuse or just told me to shut up and take whatever you gave me. But you seemed to be kind of a pain like that.

[Smirking, he took out a small object and set it on the ground. Beside it, he stuck half of a broken fishing rod into the ground as a marker of some sort--it wasn't a lance, but it would serve its purpose.]

Just my kind of woman. [A sigh.] I know it's not going to get to you, but this is the best I could manage. I don't expect we'll meet again even in this place, so...farewell, my friend.

[His back to the camera, Lancer stood up and ran a hand through his hair again before finally tying it back. The Servant looked over his shoulder, a small smirk on his face.]

It's about time for us to get going. We should find that Cecil kid if we want to get to Violet soon.

Let's go...Fragarach.

[The Venonat gave a happy sound in response, knocking over the Pokegear and turning off the video in her rush to hop over to her Trainer.]

Is that so? I've only seen the evolution, but the one I know is rather loyal and friendly. Is yours the same?

She's a load of trouble when she puts her mind to it, but a good companion. I can't really complain.

Does she play pranks, or is she merely energetic?

Pretty energetic--she likes trying to set things on fire.

...Namely, my shirt.

...You might want to look for fireproof shirts, just in case.

I did come here wearing a little armor, and I kept it just in case. That's the closest I've got.

With the number of Fire-types around, they should have a fireproof clothing industry. They have the market for it, at least.

Maybe one of the larger cities has something for it.

If any of them do, it would be Goldenrod. No city in Johto has as much choice in clothing and other products.

Goldenrod pretty much sounds like the go-to place from what I've heard. I'm kind of interested to get a look at it.

It is more lively than Cherrygrove, Violet, Azalea and Ecruteak put together. The Department Store seels products that are much more helpful to trainers than the usual potions.

Sounds like my kind of place. I haven't seen many modern human cities, so I admit I'm kind of interested to see how they work around here.
paladinlost: (soft)

They work impossibly. Goldenrod is by the sea, yet it has no port to receive the goods it then sells. Neither does it have the industries needed to make them.

...huh. Well, I can't say I'm stunned; this whole place is impossible.

Yet it still makes more sense than it did during the last weekend of October.

Hm? What happened then? I've only been here since January.

All the music was replaced by an eerie melody, the world turned blocky in twenty colors, the routes suddenly became much shorter, the locals and the Pokémon lost any trace of personality or independent thought, and we were attacked by blocky abominations and skeleton.

Okay, you got me. I wasn't expecting that one.

None of us were expecting that one.

So what happened? How did things go back to normal?

Midnight struck, and Johto was itself once more. It happened suddenly, and it disappeared just as suddenly.

...I'd really hate to meet the magus or magi running this place. They must be insane.

Insane or sadistic; people's opinions vary.

Somebody could just as easily be both at once.
