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!]

[viiru2alert]

Eh, yeah, I guess. But since when have Pokémon been "probable"?

[islandshore]

...Point. It's hard to top living ice cream, at any rate.

[viiru2alert]

So... what's this 'statistical data' for? Looks like your friend Sora [thank you Pokégear name function] is having a field day with messing up the results.

[islandshore]

We took a bet. Loser has to embarrass themselves over the network, simple as that.

[And yes, Sora's totally messing with the results, darn it!]

[viiru2alert]

[He laughs out loud at Riku.]

Got anything in mind yet?

[islandshore]

Sure do.

[He snickers.]

Loser has to sing Christmas songs for everybody.

[Public karaoke! What could go wrong?]

[viiru2alert]

...oh god, are those like Twelfth Perigee's carols?

[Sollux fakes a look of horror.]

Those are dangerous forces, dude. You could kill a guy if you're not careful.

...Or make them faint, as the specific case may be. [He still doesn't want to admit that people cannot die here.]

[islandshore]

Possibly. They're definitely dangerous, not to mention obnoxious.

[And a good chunk of 'em are flat out repetitive for good measure.]

They usually involve stuff like bells, snow, good will, Santa Claus, and reindeer with glowing, red noses.
