13 - video/action for Goldenrod Inn;

[islandshore]

[Early in the morning, Riku's PokéGear clicks on, providing a lovely view of his room. Fast asleep on the bed is Riku with an Eevee on his head and a Rilo using his chest as a pillow. Next to the bed, curled up in a corner is his Charizard, Flare, quietly snoozing with his tail curled around him. The feed moves around a bit until a Hauner's face takes up the entire screen for a split second.

However, this doesn't last long; the Gear's lowered down on some hard surface with the camera focused on a baby Skarmory, a big ol' Feraligatr and, soon enough, Phantom.



Jaws the Feraligatr holds a bucket level with his chest, and he looks up at Phantom with a low roar and a frown on his face. He glances over at the bed, then points at Flare. In response, Phantom shakes hi head and flicks the bucket. If he had feet, he'd be tapping them right about now.

Meanwhile, the over-eager Skarmory's starting to get a little impatient and begins hopping and squacking, flapping his wings in excitement. What can he do? Does he get to carry something too? Huh, huuuuh?

But all his shrieking comes to an end when Phantom clamps his beak shut. He then turns back to Jaws and gestures towards Riku, making a soft, static sound that almost sounds like a splash. Reluctantly, Jaws nods and begins filling the bucket with water...

Once full, he slowly carries it towards the bed, occasionally stopping to pout at Phantom. Still, there's no way out of it, not without being spooked by Phantom! He must do this, even if Master yells at him later for getting him all wet, and even if he gets chewed on by an Eevee and punched in the gut by a Riolu. Maybe it won't be so bad! All he has to do is---


Right before Jaws reaches the bed, he suddenly loses his footing , tripping on Flare's tail. The bucket flies into the air, dumping water on the snoozing Charizard and Riku's bed.

Everything's quiet at first, but within a matter of seconds, Flare's eyes snap open, Riku wakes up from his sleep, and the silence of the room is broken with a thunderous:]

Rrrrrroooooooooarrrrrrrrr!

[Flames spew out of Flare's mouth, and soon the Eevee and Riolu join the fray. What happens next is a rather strange battle between Riku's Pokémon; although Riku tries to calm his team down, the battle goes on with flames, water, and shadow balls colliding with explosive fury, while the sounds of roars, shrieks, and hissing fill the room.

It's not until Riku fetches his Pokéballs that the battle finally calms down; all six of his Pokémon return to their balls, and Riku flops back on the bed in spite of the now soaked blankets.]

What a mess...

[With that taken care of, he turns off his gear. He's too tired to bother with that video, and it's high time he had a nice talk with his team.]

[A few hours later, Riku starts up another feed. By then, his Pokémon are out and about again, although Phantom's nowhere in sight.]

I swear, sometimes ghost Pokémon can be a real handful. Even when I try to keep Phantom in his ball, he manages to get out somehow.

[A beat.]

Sorry if he woke anyone up; next time I'll put him in the PC before I go to bed.

[He sighs and shakes his head, turning the camera towards a pile of eggs.]

Anyway, if anyone's interested, I've still got Charmander and Totodile eggs I need to sell. I'd be willing to trade them for a Scyther or Sneasel, maybe some kind of dragon type. Mainly, I'm trying to get them sold before I leave town, especially since I need to go back and get the Hive Badge.

[The video focuses back on Riku.]

If you want one, just let me know. You don't have to be in Goldenrod to buy them; if you're somewhere else, I'll just send Highwind.

[ooc: The first part of the post occurs very early in the morning. Maybe at 2 or 3 AM. The second part takes place at much more reasonable hours; maybe around 7.

Feel free to respond to the Pokémon or Riku-- I'm also cool with others in the inn overhearing the ruckus; just about anything goes.]

[ SHE CAN'T SLEEP WITH EITHER OF YOU, GEEZ. This THUNK? That was Kairi getting jarred awake and falling off her bed. ]

[action]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

[Oh, Kairi. Riku hears that thunk, and he's gonna hurry over to her.]

Sorry about that, Kairi. Looks like my Pokémon got out of hand again.

[action]

[pluckycharm.livejournal.com]

[ give her a minute to untangle herself from the blanket, sit up and figure out what is going on-- ]

... Riku? You're wet...

[ she's not quite there yet. ]

[action]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you can thank Jaws for that.

[Well, if she needs help getting up, Riku will gladly offer a hand to her.]

[[ooc:am I to assume this is the IC post for the OOC egg post you made a little while back. sorry if that's a stupid question]]

Oooh! Oooh! Eggs! Those are like majorly neatorific!

[video]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

[ooc: Yep, that's right!]

[...Heh. It's that crazy pony gal from before.]

Maybe, but I don't need all of them; that's why I'm trying to sell or trade them off.

[video]

[all4fun-fun4all.livejournal.com]

Ohmygosh! Really!? [Have this face Riku.

Pinkie's just come into this money business here in Johto. She eyes her bag critically where her savings are stored]

How much!?

[video]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

[Well then. She's sure enthusiastic...

Normally, Riku would give a fee outright, but since she's still fairly new...]

How much can you pay?

[video]

[rodeopony.livejournal.com]

[ Laughing pony is loling at you, Ree-coo. ]

Howdy, Ree-coo! Things sure are lively where you are!

[ Totodile? That sounds like--]

Oh, hey I got a friend who-- [ a pause, then a sheepish grin. ] Nevermind. She beat me to it.

[video]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Oh, believe me, it's always lively around here. My Pokémon get into all kinds of trouble.

[He groans.]

Anyway, if your friend wants an egg, I won't charge too much. She's still pretty new to Johto, right?

[video]

[rodeopony.livejournal.com]

[ A cheerful giggle. ] I can see that!

Oh, Re-coo, that's mighty nice of you, but you don't need to give her a discount! We can all pitch in and help her if you need the money.

[video]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Well, egg prices seem to change a lot. At this point, I don't even know what they're worth.

[video] jack!

[all4fun-fun4all.livejournal.com]

For really reals Applejack! You guys would help me out!? That would super fantabulous! I mean, I have some money from working in Cherrygrove and I could probably pay for it myself so you guys don't have to!

[Sora's always been the hardest sleeper of the three, but the second he hears a Charizard roar, he snaps awake with an outright scream and tries to stumble out of bed, pillows and blankets flying.]

[action]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

[Sora, you are a delicious meat shield, and Phantom is going to use you to protect himself from Flare's nasty wrath!

...Yes, despite the fact that he's bigger than Sora.]

[action]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[Sora meanwhile is still half asleep and thinking that's Dartanian somehow inside their room and roaring, so he does the most logical thing he can think of in his haze-- that is, throw the closest object he can find in Flare's direction. the closest object is a pillow.]

Re: [action]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

[...Pillow to the face right after he's been soaked?

Yeah, Flare's not happy, and he starts stomping and flapping his wings in irritation. Meanwhile, Phantom gives Sora a round of applause!

Encore, encore! He wants more madness!]

[shocksandawes.livejournal.com]

Wasn't that a pathetic little show?

video

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Like I asked.

[Oof! And just then, his silly Haunter floats on screen because hello, stranger.]

video

[shocksandawes.livejournal.com]

Like you needed to.

[Etoile peeks over Larxene's shoulder. Hi, new Pokémon.]

video

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

[Okay, Riku. Get out of the way! Out of the way! He's pushing his trainer and snatching the Gear, so he can put it in a spot that lets his whole glorious appearance show! After all, he's 5'3''.

With that done, he'll float up to the Gear and start making horrifying faces, including pulling his eyeballs out. Yup.]

[video]

[databinder.livejournal.com]

You can use the PC system to send eggs faster, I just got one from somebody that way.

[video]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Huh. Why didn't I think of that?

[Oh, hey. Data Riku. Hey, hey.

There's a little Riolu jumping up to get on camera, yipping a little and pointing at Riku. Once she lands, she looks up at her trainer expectantly, clearing her throat.]

[video]

[databinder.livejournal.com]

Does she...want something?

[video]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

[Bark, yip! That's an affirmative.]

Sure sounds like it.

[...Ah. Maybe that's what it is.]
