009 // Video (Action for Goldenrod)

[pipers_son]

[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?]

Comments

[pipers_son]

Wouldn't that be a blessin'?

[Maybe he should just ask Angel to always ride withim as a safety net...]

I've been havin' quite a few dragon types suggested ta me. Salamence seems ta be the winnin' choice, but I suppose I'll see what the Breedin' Center has up for adoption. They have lots a fully evolved types over there, which makes things easy sometimes.

[divinitea]

Ah, yes, the mysterious Dragon-type...many people have recommended them to me, too.

[Really, she's been getting comments about the strength and power of Dragon Pokemon ever since she started becoming a proper trainer, but she still hasn't obtained one! Ah, but there must be a good reason!]

They're just all so...ugly...

[...

...or, you know. Not.]

[pipers_son]

[Your priorities really are something, Celes.]

[Before Joker can answer, there's the sound of little feet going through puddles, and soon enough a certain Mime Jr. and Glaceon have joined the party. With some rather, of course, Mime-like movements, Angel uses her psychic powers to help get her ridiculous owner out of his predicament.]

[Joker's shoes clack onto the ground and he fiddles with his clothes before he grins to Celes. He carries on with the conversation like there wasn't any pause.]

Not a single one? Really?

[divinitea]

Not particularly. My Pokemon need to be powerful, yes, but they also need to be beautiful. No exceptions.

[...actually, speaking of which, the sight of Joker's two Pokemon appear to have pleased her, as she soon reaches into her sleeve and retrieves a Pokeball.]

Ah, your Glaceon has reminded me...

[And with a flash, she releases...her Glaceon?]

I decided upon the evolution I wanted. Your help was most appreciated.

[pipers_son]

[Joker's own perks up, ears raising before he immediately sniffs over in friendly curiosity. Well hello there, new friend!]

[Joker just gives a chuckle before bowing.]

Pleasure ta be a service~! Think it would be a bit arrogant a me ta say ya have good taste, considerin'?

[divinitea]

[Celes' Glaceon moves to return said sniffing, but a Look from her trainer immediately makes her back away nervously and sit neatly at her feet.

Decorum, Cynthia. You're not an Eevee any more - time to learn to behave.]

Not at all.

It's the truth.

[pipers_son]

[Ace doesn't seem to understand the issue, but a slight click of Joker's tongue has him behaving too, cuddling up to Angel. When in doubt, go to the clown.]

Then I'll say it- ya have good taste!

Care ta continue this conversation indoors somewhere? It's rather dreary skies we've got ourselves under, and I could use somethin' warm after that lil' incident.

[divinitea]

[Ooh, what's this?]

You'll find me easy to convince. I've never liked the rain...

[...is she cheating on her sort-of boyfriend if she goes to tea with you

...

who cares]

Shall we have some tea?

[pipers_son]

[It's not a wedding proposal, Celes, gosh.]

[...Nor is he signing over his soul to you, please, hands off the soul]

Tea sure would brighten up this day, wouldn't it? [He pauses only for a moment to return Torch to her Pokeball- the Charizard seems glad for that.] Any place ya like in particular? If not, I'm sure I can remember somethin', I've wandered about the city enough.
