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.]

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?

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

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

Date: 2011-02-24 07:32 pm (UTC)[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.

[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...
