01 Video | Action for Goldenrod

[incorruptibility]

[Currently climbing on and pecking at both the screen and the person behind it, is a torchic. More importantly, the one behind doesn't look all too happy.  Not just for the torchic pecking his arm and trying to rip his hakama.]

Ow--  Is there any way to get this thing to stop?  It won't leave me alone!  I understand it's mine now, but, really, does that mean it's necessary to destroy my clothes?

And, furthermore...

[Just then, an ekans drapes itself over his lap and opens its mouth towards the torchic - which then lets out a squawk and scrambles on top of Kira's head.]

...furthermore, should this one really be trying to eat it, and is there a way to make that stop?  At least, that's what it seems to be doing...or maybe it's only trying to scare it?  It seems too lazy to be a hunter...

Ah, anyway, Abarai, if you're here, we still have a match, I'm holding you to it!  Don't decide you're too afraid of my great swordsmanship and pretend you've forgotten, or that you're not here, I'll find out!  You know how it ends when you pit your intelligence against mine!

As troublesome it may be, the little chicken thing sure does look cute. [Brief pause.] Just saying.

The giant snake hasn't tried to eat you yet?

[video]

[incorruptibility]

Being cute doesn't help here.

But...no, do you think it would?

[uuing]

Uu-, of course it won't leave you alone! It's your friend!

[ don't mind this little girl here, she'll just.. well, smile the biggest smile ever.. ]

[Video]

[seetheflower]

[ Of course there can't be only one moe contacting you - have another! ]

Hahaha, cute! That little chick Nokemon is cute and the snake Nokemon is cute too! [ Totally not aware of his discomfort, she's thinking they're all playing together. ]

Don't worry, Nokemon are your friends and they won't hurt you!

[incorruptibility]

[Oh no, small children, how does he deal with that-]

...But it's hurting me.

[Video]

[incorruptibility]

This one is! Its beak is sharp!

...And aren't they called 'Pokemon'?

[Video]

[seetheflower]

It's a way to show you affection! Actually it doesn't want to hurt you. [ Yep, 100% sure about that. ]

I call them Nokemon! [ That's what she tells to anyone who asks that question by now. ]

[Video]

[incorruptibility]

...Nokemon. That's ridiculous, why would you call them something other than what they are?

Anyway, this 'nokemon' definitely isn't just trying to show affection, it's trying to rip me to shreds!

[uuing]

.. Is it..? [ oh, now she frowns. ]

Show Maria to it, Maria will teach it a lesson for you, uu-..! Don't worry, Maria won't let it hurt you anymore!

[Video]

[seetheflower]

Because that's what they call it in my home! [ Wow rude! She pouts at the camera. ]

Maybe it's hungry! Don't you have food for it?

[incorruptibility]

[Are you serious, kid...]

I don't think you can convince it of something like that...

[Video]

[incorruptibility]

Ah, wait, did these exist where you're from? I thought it would eat worms or grass if it was hungry...not me.

[uuing]

Of course Maria can! [ why don't you trust this smile of confidence, Izuru, rude. ]

Uu-, just leave it to her..! Maria will help you right out!

[incorruptibility]

...Alright, if you say so. What do you want me to do?

Re: [video]

[brokenmemories]

[She shrugs.] I wouldn't be surprised. It still sounds terrifying though.

[Oh sure, being suffocated or possibly eaten alive sounds like a pleasant way to die.]

[Video]

[seetheflower]

I played a videogame all about them! [ y e p her pout doesn't last long. ]

Hmmm, I don't think it's trying to eat you! I just think it wants you to feed it.

[video]

[combat_butler]

... not familiar with how to use your balls, huh?

[video]

[incorruptibility]

...Of course it sounds terrifying. But this thing hardly moves, I don't think there's anything to worry about.

[Video]

[incorruptibility]

'Played a videogame'...?

[What's that? Is that like studying?]

So then it can't pull up worms on its own?

[video]

[incorruptibility]

My...?

[balls....

ah.

Definitely taking that one the wrong way. He's very unfamiliar with pokeballs.]

[Video]

[seetheflower]

Yup! Videogames! Have you ever played them?

Hmm, I don't think worms exist here in the Nokemon world! All I know is that Nokemon like berries!

[uuing]

Just show it the Pokégear you're holding now with Maria on the screen, uu-! Then Maria can talk to it, right?

[video]

[brokenmemories]

You might never know.

[video]

[combat_butler]

*alas, he has had to say it so many times by this point it doesn't even click with him anymore.*

... yes? You didn't lose them already, did you?

[video]

[incorruptibility]

So you're purposely trying to frighten me, then.
