50 - video/action for Olivine;

[islandshore]

[The feed clicks on with some radical footage of two teenage boys cruising on waves. Some may recognize them as Sora and Riku, both of whom have forgone their usual attire for swim trunks. Now, at first everything seems fine and dandy, until a particularly gigantic wave sneaks up on them, smothering them and dunking them below the water's surface. A blastoise decked out in shades zips by, trying to contain her laughter. The feed ends momentarily.

Cue another feed with both boys performing noticeably better. Riku looks to the camera and flashes a smug grin. They perform a few more tricks before returning to the shore and addressing the network properly.]

[ the first to formally pop his head in direct veiw of the camera is Sora, shaking out the sea water from his hair. ]

So glad that the snow melted. I mean, I love snow and all, but having it ruin our beach plans wouldn't have been cool.

[In the background, a fairly disgruntled Weavile wanders by, slurping some sort of smoothie. He stops just long enough to address the feed with a fake, stuffy accent.]

Tsk. Frankly, I would have preferred an entire week of snow. This summer heat is simply too much.

[Suddenly Riku regrets bringing an ice type to town. Heaving a sigh, slips into view just a few seconds later, rolling his eyes at his Pokémon.]

Well, at least it's gone now. At any rate, if anyone's hanging around Olivine, Sora and I are setting up camp out here by the shore. If you don't mind some rough waves, feel free to drop by. We're planning on whipping up some barbeque in a bit.

[Those in the area are free to drop by Olivine's beach, where the two KH dorks will be hanging ten, among other things.]

That's what he gets for being an ice type.

[islandshore]

[Sora, that just gets a huff from captain stuffypants, followed by a glare.]

I will have you know that being an ice type does have its perks.

[Riku jabs the little bugger with his elbow before using him as a convenient arm rest.]

At least he can keep us cool, right? Plus, if we need cold drinks, he's got us covered.

Only if you say please...

action

[heartdive]

[ Sora motions for Oshy to join them. with something up his sleeve of course.. ]

Awww c'mon, Slash. Like I'd forget something like "please."

[ griiiiiin. ]

See, I'll do it right now. Could you please make a snowcone?

[Video]

[killer_sweets]

Well what do you know you've finally gotten around accent, congrats. I'm hope you've been advanage. [He take him a moment to realise something else about this video.]

Which one of them is your trainer by the way. [He just a bit curious about that.]

[Video]

[islandshore]

Mmm, if only my skills went more appreciated. I fear that I have been reduced to a portable snow cone device.

[He pouts, folding his arms over his chest. Riku snaps the 'Gear away soon after.]

As for his trainer, that'd be me. Hope Slash hasn't been pestering you or anything. He's kind of a handful.

[Video]

[killer_sweets]

That must be annoying, but you could charge for them if you want.

[When Riku shows up, he give the guy a grin.]

No, he is cool, I talk to him before when his accent was still pretty thick.

Action

[falseshore]

[Rep's been watching them for a while--he's been on the beach though, and his Gear's in his pocket. He's just watching them from the safety of the beach for a while like a creeper, but will approach when they get out of the water.

Silver-haired kid with a Jigglypuff hat joinin ur party guys.]

Action

[heartdive]

[ er... sorry man. you're not going to escape Sora's "affection" either. while HE'S waving at Rep... Oshy the Dewott is darting across the beach to give the guy a very special "welcome."

hope you guys don't mind getting a little soggy. ]

[falseshore]

[He wasn't intending on going swimming yet, so he does mind a little bit. There's a grin on his face as he waves back at Sora, quickening his pace, but then the grin goes away when he notices the approaching Pokémon.

Aaand now moving in the opposite direction, away from the Dewott.]

[video]

[soggypastry]

[Camp out, huh? If the weather goes nuts again the Center isn't too far from the beach, but...well, Minnie had that house for everyone. Far be it for Lightning to not follow in those footsteps best she can.]

If you two need a place to stay while you're there, there's a spare key to the house taped under a loose board at the top of the back deck. It's not hard to find.

[If they don't mind undoing duct tape, anyway.]

[video]

[heartdive]

Oooor you could find a way to come and see us.

[video]

[soggypastry]

[headshake....but that is indeed a slight smile on her face.] Can't. I'm in Kanto, Sora. It's too long a trip to make it before you two leave.

[video]

[islandshore]

Might have to take you up on that offer, Lightning. I know I'd rather stay inside a house than risk getting snowed on all over again.

[Because, seriously, that snow was ridiculous for an island kid like Riku. Summer's supposed to be warm.]

[video]

[heartdive]

What? Can't handle a little weather? Too delicate to camp out now?

[video]

[soggypastry]

[A amused little headshake. She knows exactly what he means.]

Just clean up after yourselves and you can stay as long as you want. The power and water are paid for already.

[It's all set up. Beds included...though the pillows may need some airing out. They did leave a while ago.]

[memoryborn]

I'm glad you two are having some fun. [ Beat. ] Looks like Riku found something to keep himself busy for a time.

[ Oh, she'd love to be at the beach right now, but... Plans and things. Yes. ]

video;

[heartdive]

Better than letting him get moody because he's bored.

video;

[memoryborn]

That seems to be a recurring problem with him. Hopefully this one lasts.

video;

[islandshore]

For a while, anyway. Provided we don't get piled under six feet of snow, it might keep us both busy for at least a few weeks.

[But that stupid snow... augh.]

video;

[ghostytrainer]

Hehehe, I am with Slash on this one I think. I wouldn't have minded a week or two of snow.

[Especially since he missed quite a decent portion of the day passed out in an attempt to catch up on several day's worth of sleep. It was worth it though since, save for the faint shadows under his eyes, John both looks and sounds considerably better than he did the other night. He also looks a few years older than the last time he video-chatted with either of the KH dorks. But Riku, at least, is probably used to weird shit like that by now.]

Speaking of, sounds like somebody's been practicing their English!

[It's been a while since John last heard Slash speak, after all. And while it wasn't BAD there was definitely room for improvement. He definitely can't say that anymore (though that accent, why.....)]

video;

[islandshore]

[...Yeah, that is kind of weird, but he'll roll with it. All things considered, a little aging is nothing compared to the oddities they've faced thus far.]

Yeah, well, you probably didn't grow up on a tropical island. I don't do well with the cold.

[Oh, and is that somebody praising him? Slash hops up in the background, trying to get into the video feed.]

More than practicing! I have perfected it and have ascended beyond the role of mere Pokémon! I am--

[Riku muffles his mouth. Guh, his gloating's ridiculous.]

video

[shadowdive]

[Oh. Oh hey, surfing. He recognizing it, knows what it's called, but seeing it actually makes him shut his mouth about making fun of the first wipeout. Snorting at the end though, he ends up cracking a half smile.]

How long did it take to learn to do that? [He'd ask in person but seeing as he's at the other beach on the other side of the regions..also screw the bright sun, Vanitas needs to get himself some shades.]

video

[islandshore]

Few years of practice.

[He shrugs.]

You grow up on an island, and you learn a few tricks. Believe me when I say it's a lot tougher than it looks.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Man, I miss Olivine.

Not that I have much reason to go back there at this point, but that place has some good memories.

_{[There's a pause.]}




.... SO did I experience some temporary insanity or did that Pokemon just talk?

_{[Guess who hasn't been exposed to talking Pokemon beyond a crow that screams "PENIS" in the middle of the night for shits and giggles sometimes?]}

[Video]

[islandshore]

Hey, you could always take a temporary vacation sometime. Not like Olivine's going anywhere fast.

[As for her question, Riku nods... and that Weavile once again tries shoving himself in the spotlight.]

Fear not, you are not hallucinating! You have simply bore witness to my remarkable skill.
