☘ 016; [video]

[Lancer seemed to be in an infinitely better mood than when he last broadcast from his own Pokegear; being in the company of someone like Saber that actually put up with him was a wonderful remedy for loneliness.]

[Not that he was lonely. Lancer would have sworn otherwise to his dying breath. One hand idly petting the Tauros walking at his side, he spoke with a casual grin on his face.]


Yo. I got a question for you guys--see, my fight at the Azalea gym got a little out of hand.

[It would forever be known as The Incident, of which there was no record past Lancer's second badge. But this was the guy that called a berserk rage that wiped out half an army 'a rough day', so 'out of hand' was clearly A Big Deal. He was still replacing the parts of his inventory that had gotten incinerated.]

So I figured I might as well know what I was getting into for once--what can you guys tell me about the leader here in Goldenrod?

[You know what they say about 'speak of the devil', Lancer? Did they have that in ancient Ireland?]

Ohmigawd! [As Lancer and his Tauros pass by the aforementioned Goldenrod City Gym, a girl practically leaps out of nowhere--her eyes may or may not have been replaced with comically oversized pink hearts.]

Uh...yeah?

Ohmigawd I never get to see a guy as good looking as you around here! [Or she's just conveniently forgotten the hundreds of fangirl bait challengers that have gone through her gym in the past. Before our grinning idiot's ego could inflate any further, he's interrupted by the girl being distracted by OOH SHINY.] You have to tell me how you get your hair that nice!

Well, I- [You know that ponytail of yours, Lancer? This mysteriously unbalanced girl is now taking hold of it and dragging you offscreen.] Ow--ow! Hey, what the hell do you--ow, knock it off!

[Left onscreen is a mildly confused Tauros just watching this in silence. Whitney's squealing and Lancer's cursing in what sounds like a foreign language can be heard offscreen until the Pokegear shuts off.]

[Good luck getting responses. He's kind of busy.]


[Video; roughly half an hour later:]



...Y'know, there's a story in my country now about a knight that literally couldn't keep women off of him. Some kinda curse or something.

But somehow I doubt one ever pounced on him, dragged him off, and refused to let go of him until she'd brushed and braided his hair.

Who the hell was that girl and what just happened?

I don't wear weird jewelery or anything like that!

[Here's a game for you, kids: Spot the contradiction between that statement and this icon.]

Why should I give a damn about modern human fashion, anyway?

[identity profile] nankurunaizer.livejournal.com 2011-09-08 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
What about those big earrings? Most guys don't wear anythin' like that!

[Hibiki definitely notices. It's probably why she brought it up in the first place.]

I didn't say you should! You just look kinda like someone who does

[identity profile] solas-ion.livejournal.com 2011-09-08 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
They're not just any stupid earrings, they're an important symbol of the Knights of the Red Branch!

[FACEPALM. His life, man.]

I'm not. I don't even know what a hipster is.

[It's too mainstream.]

I didn't say they were stupid, just that they were pretty big, kinda like some of mine.

[Hibiki shakes her head. She's even confusing herself right now.]

I guess I don't really know what one is, either, but...you're a knight? Like for real, from another world?

[identity profile] solas-ion.livejournal.com 2011-09-08 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I am absolutely and without a doubt actually a knight.

[identity profile] nankurunaizer.livejournal.com 2011-09-08 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
[And because Hibiki believes 99% of what she is told, the conversation is now taking a u-turn.]

That's so cool! What kind of knight?! Like...one of those ones with a horse, or maybe one of those ones with a bow?

[identity profile] solas-ion.livejournal.com 2011-09-08 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
The kind with a lance. I did have a horse--two, actually. But I wouldn't be caught dead with a bow and arrow. Anybody can use one of those, it takes real skill to use a lance effectively.

[identity profile] nankurunaizer.livejournal.com 2011-09-08 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
What's a lance again? That thing is kinda like a spear, right?

[identity profile] solas-ion.livejournal.com 2011-09-08 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
They're the same thing, essentially.

[identity profile] nankurunaizer.livejournal.com 2011-09-08 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
So there is a difference, then? And what'd you do with two horses?

[identity profile] solas-ion.livejournal.com 2011-09-08 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Not really, no. And they pulled a chariot.

[identity profile] nankurunaizer.livejournal.com 2011-09-08 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
A chariot! I know what those are, don't tell me...! Those are those things people stand in, right? Like in Rome?

[identity profile] solas-ion.livejournal.com 2011-09-08 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
Pretty much. I'm not from Rome, but yeah.

[identity profile] nankurunaizer.livejournal.com 2011-09-08 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
That's so cool!! I don't have two horses, but I have an aligator, a flying squirrel, and a snake back home! And I'm an idol, too!

...What the hell--why do you have an alligator and since when do squirrels fly?

[identity profile] nankurunaizer.livejournal.com 2011-09-08 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
Huh? It's 'cause I live alone, so I want have plenty of pets. They're my family! And the squirrel doesn't fly, he has skin between his arms so he can glide!

[identity profile] nankurunaizer.livejournal.com 2011-09-08 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
To keep the snake company!

[identity profile] solas-ion.livejournal.com 2011-09-08 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
...I'm thinking of the right thing here, right? Huge, scaly, shitload of teeth?

[identity profile] nankurunaizer.livejournal.com 2011-09-08 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
Yup! He's not as big as the ones in the wild, but he's about as long as I am tall.

[identity profile] solas-ion.livejournal.com 2011-09-08 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
...okay, you know what? Sure, I've heard stranger things.

[identity profile] nankurunaizer.livejournal.com 2011-09-08 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
The animals here are a lot stranger, right?

Wait a sec, I forgot to introduce myself! Sorry 'bout that. My name's Hibiki!

[identity profile] solas-ion.livejournal.com 2011-09-08 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
Just call me Lancer. Nice to meet you, kid.

[identity profile] nankurunaizer.livejournal.com 2011-09-08 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
Just Lancer?

...What were we talkin' about again? I kinda got carried away and started talkin' about my pets again, didn't I?

[identity profile] solas-ion.livejournal.com 2011-09-08 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, just Lancer.

I think we were talking about human fashion or something weird like that.
