third shot // accidental video for route 30; action for cherrygrove

[hurtitselfinconfusion]

VIDEO; mid-morning, route 30

[When the video feed comes on, the first thing anyone will see (though slightly obscured by bug-sized footprints on the camera lense) is:



Watchers will also be greeted by the sound of a Pokemon crying. No, really, crying - the Caterpie is wailing miserably. Chris, unaware that her Gear has been activated, seems to be both trying to catch the Caterpie and comfort it.]

Stop crying! It won't help anything!

[Try is the key word, though. She reaches for it, and it darts away. Given something to compare Caterpie's size to (that is, Chris), it seems especially small, as if just a baby.]

Come on, now! Are you lost? Hey-! Somebody probably caught your parents! Or something...

[Caterpie pauses in the crying as Chris finally manages to catch it hand pick it up... then starts up again, loud as ever.]

Alright, alright! I'll take care of you! Just stop that crying!

ACTION; evening, cherrygrove.

[It's late evening, and the sun's starting to set. Chris is sulking on the beach of Cherrygrove, with Caterpie now dozing in her lap. Once she managed to get it a little calmer, she decided to head back to Cherrygrove to take it to the center and heal it up, just in case. Luckily, she was less than a day away from Cherrygrove, so she managed to get there before dark. Chris won't notice anybody's presence unless they bring attention to themselves (though MDM, her Absol, laying a few feet away from her, might - but he'll just lift his head and look at you), as she's deep in thought.]

Why not? It's true.

[No seriously she doesn't get the problem here.]

[video]

[femininity]

Even if it's true, it's creepy...!

[video]

[hurtitselfinconfusion]

Creepy? Really?

[She looks down at the baby. Eeeh, if you say so...]

At least it's pretty harmless.

[video]

[femininity]

But...

[ okay that's hard to argue with. after it's long, long crying fit...

it's hard to imagine that caterpie terrorizing anyone. ]

That's true. I feel kind of sorry for it... did you figure out why it was upset?

[video]

[hurtitselfinconfusion]

No. It's a baby, who knows what it's crying about... maybe it got lost or something.

[video]

[femininity]

If it's a baby... does that make you it's new mom?

Re: [video]

[hurtitselfinconfusion]

Wh- no! No! I'm just- looking after it! There's a big difference!

[video]

[femininity]

What's the difference?

[video]

[hurtitselfinconfusion]

Only adults become parents!

[video]

[femininity]

I guess that's a good point. Then a big sister?

[video]

[hurtitselfinconfusion]

Sister... But we're different species. Does that work?

[video]

[femininity]

Yeah! Why wouldn't it?

[video]

[hurtitselfinconfusion]

Would you call a dog your brother?

[video]

[femininity]

Maybe if it was a really cute dog.

[video]

[hurtitselfinconfusion]

What does how cute it is have to do with anything?

[video]

[femininity]

If I had a little brother, I'd want him to be really cute.

[video]

[hurtitselfinconfusion]

That's pretty selfish. Shouldn't you choose siblings based on who needs the help more?

[video]

[femininity]

Oh... well, yeah, I guess so.

[video]

[hurtitselfinconfusion]

Either way, I guess I'm stuck with this thing.

[video]

[femininity]

What are you going to call him?

[video]

[hurtitselfinconfusion]

Name...

[That's a good question,]

Well, I already have one Mega Death Worm... so, Mega Death Worm 2!

[Unfortunately, she's serious.]

[video]

[femininity]

[ at first she wants to laugh it off as a joke but...

no, this girl really seems serious about that. ]

Eheh... but won't that get confusing?

[video]

[hurtitselfinconfusion]

I don't think so. The first one's much bigger.

[video]

[femininity]

But... let's say you shout "Mega Death Worm!" And then they both turn around... what then!

[video]

[hurtitselfinconfusion]

I wouldn't have them out at the same time! The bigger one is [somewhat embarrassed] unreliable.
