[ Video ; Action ]

[imthe_shit]

[ Snake's in Goldenrod, since he arrived about last week and decided to hang around. He wanted to go to Ecruteak, but he figured he could at least relax for a while before making the trip to Violet again.

Sitting on a bench near a hot dog stand, Snake takes out his PokeGear. ]

[PRIVATE CALL TO OTACON]

Otacon, what can you tell me about Team Rocket?

[/]

[ Switching frequencies, he decides to make an update for the rest of his friends. ]

This is Snake. I'm in Goldenrod, I'm going to Violet either tomorrow or the day after... I haven't really decided yet. At any rate... Heather, are you interested in going to Ecruteak..?

And Claire, where are you now?

Hey, you don't sound very happy to see me! [Pout. When did you become such a mean old man? :C] Are you busy? I was just walking around so I thought I'd come over!

[Walking around. All alone. :' | ...Well, aside from her Pokemon but they're in the ball.]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Nno, I'm not busy.

[ Takes out a Pokeball, eying it. ] Have you caught any new Pokemon lately?

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

[Well Grandpa...She shakes her head with a smile]Not since my Pidgey, Ran. [She releases said Pokemon and it looks at Snake curiously from its perch on Vanille's shoulder.]

I'm not very good at battling so I don't catch Pokemon very often. [Oh, hey, you took out a Pokeball. She points to it] Is that new one you got in there?

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Hn? [Looks at the Pokeball.] No, it's just Marlboro. [He, too, releases the Pokemon, and a Torkoal pops out, sitting at Snake's feet and looking large and warm as usual.]

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

! He's cute! [Gets on down to the ground.] Hi there, Marlboro, I'm Vanille! Let's be friends, okay? [She looks up at Snake] What kind of Pokemon is he?

[Use your Pokedex, children.]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

He's a tortoise. [ that is the best answer you're going to get. ]

[Marlboro looks at Vanille through squinty eyes and slowly moves back into his shell, startled by her FRIENDLINESS.]

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

Oh, one of those. [:| She smiles at Marlboro and laughs at how he goes into his shell, pulling her arms close to her body like she's going into one too.] Kfff kfff!

[CRIKEY, NOW THIS, IS A TORKOAL. IT'S A FIRE POKEMON. YOU'RE ALRIGH', YOU'RE ALRIGH' NOW I'M JUST GONNA GO UP TO THIS TORKOAL. /Vanille croc hunter]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

[Watches both of them with a blank stare. Marlboro eyes Vanille from within his haven before blowing out smoke from his nostrils.]

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

Woah! I can't do that! [She sits back on her butt] Don't be scared, Marlboro, I won't hurt you! Where did you find a Pokemon like this, Snake?

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Marlboro hatched from an egg I got on Christmas. [Shrugs.] Apparently he lives in caves with lots of coal.

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

A cave? How scaaary~ you must be pretty brave to live in a place like that! [Disregard trainers, talk to Pokemon. She laughs[ But not so much outside of home, huh?

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

[Marlboro slowly moves his head out of his shell somewhat to tilt his head a bit at what she's saying.]

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

That's okay [She leans in to whisper] I'm not very brave when I'm away from home either. Being in a different place is more scary than home...Even if home is a dark spooky cave.

[Nope, not talking from experience at all.]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

[ Marlboro tilts his head again, then looks at Snake. ]


... Marlboro's never lived in a cave himself... That's just what the Pokedex said about his species. He's been with me ever since he hatched.

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

Sn-Snake! It's not polite to listen in on people's conversations you know! [AKA stop listening to mun'sher fail] If you wanted to talk to me you could have just said so~ [She spins around on her heels and rests her fingertips on the edge of the bench seat] So what do you want to talk about?

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

... Right.

[Shrugs.] Well... How are you, I guess?

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

[She hesitates going back to her lying. But she does anyway.] I'm good! It's been pretty nice out lately so I even went to the National Park.

What about you, Snake? [She inspects him. He LOOKS fine but...]You haven't...fallen or your Pokemon haven't gotten into lots of troubl, right?

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

.... I've been fine... Though... I just heard about the attack on the Radio Tower.

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

Did you see what happened? I...I wasn't really paying attention[AKA she was hiding in her room until she could figure out what was happening] Everyone's okay, right?

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Nno, I wasn't in Goldenrod at the time... I didn't even have my Gear on.

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

At least that means you were safe. It was scary! Suddenly all the radio stations changed and it was weird not hearing the music! I thought for sure something horrible would happen...

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

... Hnn... [Something horrible DID happen... To Otacon anyway.]

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

I guess we just got lucky then, huh? [Well Otacon is Otacon.]

hello eaten notif

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

I don't know if luck had anything to do with it.
