41 - video/action for Goldenrod;

[islandshore]

[Well, while Riku waits for Ven to get his act together so they can go grab Sora, Sasuke, and the others, he'll pop open the PokéGear.

After all, it's December. The perfect time of month for what he has in store. And oh, the chance to prove his best friend wrong is too much to pass up.]

So, Johto, Kanto. It's December again, and that means Christmas is right around the corner. And if you're a kid, that usually means waiting for presents under the tree-- supposedly from Santa Claus.

So, here's a question. Do you believe in Santa?

I'm trying to get some statistical data here. And believe me, I've got my reasons.

[With that message outta the way, Riku can be found over by the Department store, buying gratuitous amounts of TMs, swinging by the Breeding Center just to see how things are going, and dropping by one of the cafes later on for a bite to eat.

And maybe he'll stop by Route 34 for good measure in order to spar with his team. Because, while watching his Pokémon fight each other is nice and all, nothing beats getting in on the action. He'll be accompanied by his big ol' Charizard regardless of where he is.]

[ooc: Just gonna make a note here since I realize his icons are misleading-- but Riku is actually 17 in Route-- almost 18 and about 6' tall now. Minor detail, but I'll probably pin that somewhere later. There was just some confusion during 4th wall about his age.

Also, Sora will possibly be threadjacking!]

...Halloween Town.

[Oh my fucking god.]

[heartdive]

You've never met Jack, huh?

[viiru2alert]

Nope.

Does he live in Halloween Town?

[heartdive]

Yeah, he does. He's in charge of Halloween.

[viiru2alert]

Oh my god.

[Face, meet palm.]

You're actually serious about this, aren't you.

[heartdive]

Well yeah... Why wouldn't I be?

[viiru2alert]

Well, I just find it hard to believe that there's any world out there that's seriously, unironically called Christmas Town.

you know there is a town around here called Santa Claus, right?

[heartdive]

Why?

I do now!

[viiru2alert]

Because it seems like the kind of thing that people would do in, like, a grub's storybook, not real life.

But maybe you live in a fuckin' storybook.

Who knows.

i went there today 8)

[heartdive]

No, I just have been to a lot of different worlds.

omfg... why didn't you take me with you 8(

[viiru2alert]

...

[Sollux takes a moment to consider this.]

Not all worlds can be designed by sane, reasonable people, I guess.

you live too far away 8(

[heartdive]

Uh... What?

sorry 8(

[viiru2alert]

Well, someone had to be the one to name that world, right? And I guess they just decided to base their entire civilization around a holiday, making everyone in that world look like total dumbasses on the 364 days of the human calendar that isn't that holiday.

[Confound this keyboard. It drives me to typo.]

sob. cry myself to sleep over it

[heartdive]

You make it sound like a bad thing.

i'll be with you in your dreams.

[viiru2alert]

I know if I walked into a place themed around Christmas, I'd laugh at it.

creepy

[heartdive]

Until Santa gives you a present.

creepy

[viiru2alert]

Well, that ain't happened yet. [ :| ]

[heartdive]

Then I will have to get you one. You seem like a cranky kind of guy. That should cheer you up a little.

[viiru2alert]

Do you even know who I am?

[And do you know that you deserve a metal for putting up with this shitstain?]

[heartdive]

Can you tell me?

[viiru2alert]

...

[SIGH]

Sollux Captor.

Though really, if you can't figure it out through the Gear network, I just want you to know that I judge you even more than earlier.

[heartdive]

That's not fair...

[viiru2alert]

Even rudimentary skills can figure me out by the ID number. I'm not even anonymous.

[heartdive]

I really just don't know how to use the Gear all that well.

Really, even Goofy is better at this computer like stuff than I am.

[viiru2alert]

Yeah, it's kind of a shitty piece of technology, all things considered.

I'm not even going to comment on 'Goofy'. [What if it's a nickname? It has to be a nickname. Definitely a... nickname.]
