001▼video; action for Mahogany Town

[majorbonerkiller]

[The video screen shook a bit, as Ivan seemed to be adjusting it after finally figuring out how the damn thing worked. His face took up the majority of the screen.

Amazing! This thing didn't even look like a camera, and it seemed to do a lot more than just that too. They had portable cameras where he came from, but video was a whole 'nother story.

There was a whine, obviously feral, and the camera shifted down to a small yellow rat. Or Pikachu, but Ivan preferred to call it a rat.]

Heh! And look at this thing--it fits into a ball!

[He shoves it with his foot. The "rat" protests again, sparking angrily. Ivan either ignores it or simply doesn't notice as he turns the camera back to his beautiful visage. The lens wasn't as close now, and his Soviet Major's uniform could be seen. He had refused to change into his new Rocket uniform.]

If somebody could explain to me how to get home, the only assholes I talked to--

[And that's about the last thing Ivan says (besides a surprised scream) as he gets a good shock and the feed ends.]

Barely...

[Ivan wouldn't dare let some dirty bat sit on his head and ruin his hair or the poise of his hat.]

I've been told it's a "Pikachu".

[His disinterest in his own pokemon couldn't be any more obvious.]

Say, how do these balls work anyway?

[He scowled.]

Do you have a bite to match that big mouth of yours, little girl?

[Clearly.]

[Ivan gave a smarmy smile.]

I'll see you then~

[And if China has nothing else to add, Ivan will end the feed to go attend to other matters.]

Well, I'm sure you've been told that this is an entirely different universe altogether. It is a lot to take in, though, especially on the first day.

[oh it's obvious all right. but meh, Cybil's just trying to be helpful. her Zubat's just gonna chill and lounge about on her head regardless of whether she allows it or not.]

If I knew, I'd tell you. The technology of this place is beyond me.

[video]

[volginswaifu.livejournal.com]

That's exactly it, and you believe that idiocy?

[He shook his head, facepalming.]

There has to be a more logical explanation. Maybe I'm dreaming...

[video]

[dontshootmebro.livejournal.com]

It's taken me awhile, but after being here for a little over a month, it's hard not to.

[at the very least, she tries not to think about it.]

Believe me, I've tried coming up with a better answer than what I was being told, but as of right now I'm pretty sure it's not a dream. And if it is...prepare for one of the longest dreams in your life.

_{[The wolfish grin she's wearing is answer enough by itself, at least in terms of her obvious confidence, but she replies anyway.]}

More than enough.

Wanna see?

[volginswaifu.livejournal.com]

[Ivan is hardly intimidated, narrowing his eyes in response.]

If you're so eager to lose.

[video]

[volginswaifu.livejournal.com]

[Ivan isn't very happy about that answer, obvious by the frustrated, knitted look on his face.]

...

[And when Ivan is frustrated he resorts to being hasty and rude.]

It's a dream, you're just too blind to see it--no, wait--you're a figment of my imagination.

It feels so real though...

[shocksandawes.livejournal.com]

They should have started me off with one of those.

[volginswaifu.livejournal.com]

One of what?

[He simply lowers a brow.]

video

[shocksandawes.livejournal.com]

That electric thing.

video

[volginswaifu.livejournal.com]

You want it?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

_{[She doesn't seem too bothered by his lack of being intimidated.]}

I'm in a city called Violet.

Better come quick, or I might keep insulting male strippers. And that's terrible.

[Video]

[volginswaifu.livejournal.com]

[He scowled again, realizing he was unable to leave Mahogany.]

I don't have time to waste finding you. I'm waiting for a delivery.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Oh. I see how it is.

_{[See that Cheshire grin she's got? It's mocking you. It's mocking you oh so hard. IS THE ANGRY RUSSIAN MAN TOO FRIGHTENED TO COME FIGHT A TEENAGE GIRL? PO' BABY.]}

Video

[no-nukes-plz.livejournal.com]

Stealing other peoples' Pokèmon? That's pathetic, you... you worm!

[He flounders angrily, glaring at the man. If it even was a man.]

[Video]

[volginswaifu.livejournal.com]

[Oh, Ivan sees it--and he hates it, but he has no choice. Yao was coming up to Mahogany to give him a Gyarados.]

You're foolish if you think I'm afraid of the likes of you. As soon as I have my delivery I'll get to you, brat.

[volginswaifu.livejournal.com]

Heh, I haven't done anything, so maybe you should calm down before you accuse the wrong person and get yourself into some real trouble..

[Shrugs.]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

_{[HEE HEE.]}

All right, but don't expect me to feel sympathetic if you chicken out!

_{[Was she being a cocky little jerk? Yes. But... it's been awhile since she's had a good fight. Besides, this guy practically picked it himself!]}

[Video]

[volginswaifu.livejournal.com]

Don't expect me to take mercy when you beg for it.

[RAGEQUITS ends feed.]

[shocksandawes.livejournal.com]

Well, if you don't, I wouldn't complain~

[She's totally okay with leaving him without a Pokémon. :| Good thing she's a couple towns away from him.]

video

[volginswaifu.livejournal.com]

[He chuckles condescendingly.]

You really think I would give it to you? Not after what I've learned.

video

[shocksandawes.livejournal.com]

Then what are you doing offering? Getting a girl's hopes up like that. You're heartless.

video

[volginswaifu.livejournal.com]

[He shrugs nonchalantly.]

I didn't know you would take it seriously.

[That's not to say he wouldn't have done it if he had.]
