009 // Video (Action for Goldenrod)

[From the looks of things, Joker is somehow stuck in a tree. Also from the look of things, he fell in it.]

Well, that was a bit of a failure, far as things go.

So, any folks wanna suggest somethin' of the flyin' variety? Me and Torch gave it a try but, well, she's a bit too fond a goin' fast and doesn't care for the gloomy weather.


[Action]
[Anyone actually in Goldenrod and passing through the local park... Well, you can probably spot Joker still stuck in the tree. Every now and then he gives a bit of a wiggle, shifts to the one arm, looks down... and then apparently decides to stay stuck. The Charizard flapping about and giving dismissive snorts doesn't seem impressed.]

[Could you look any less uncool, trainer?]

[That will actually elicit something of a smirk from her, because she knows what those people are like.

Don't tell her she's one of them.]

Oh, when I meant civilized, I meant people well-adjusted enough to use their skills and talents for the better of society. Not morons and commoners who just happen to be born with a silver spoon in their mouth.

[pipers_son]

Eh? So don't you yerself fall inta that category?

[Look at that shit eating grin.]

[konpeitoqueen]

[She knows exactly what you mean, and gives Joker a glare to match that grin.]

I fall in the former category, of course! Nothing like my mother, who was only born into a high position with no talent to back it up, or the greedy underlings of split branches that had neither.

[pipers_son]

If ya say so. I obviously don't know a lick about that.

[konpeitoqueen]

You obviously don't.

[Before things potentially turn sour, she turns away.] Well, I wish I got a few pictures of you stuck in the tree, but there's no use crying over spilled milk. [Not anymore.]

[pipers_son]

Next time it happens, I'll be sure ta let ya know in time.

Like hot chocolate? [Sudden swerves into subject changes, let's go.]

[konpeitoqueen]

[That topic change...]

Speaking to you is getting boring. Since you're no longer entertaining me, I'll take my leave now. ['No longer entertaining me' means 'you're no longer being stuck in a tree'.]

[pipers_son]

And here I thought this weather was awfully cold, but it ain't got a candle ta yer heart, huh, Hiyo-chan?

[But he won't go to stop her. What? He's not going to hold her hostage in exchange for conversation.]
