Re: 002; video/action for Violet

[keychained]

[good evening, Johto! on your 'gears tonight is a kid with a thousand problems-- and his pokémon are at the moment every single one.]

-- Hey, guys? Quick question.

[Sora points the feed toward a cozy spot of trees near the exit to Violet City, and the entrance to Route 31. a giant boulder-sized Skarmory is contentedly perched amongst the trees, though when her gaze catches the 'gear, she gives it-- Sora, presumably-- a rather dirty look.]

I found Metal Chocobo! [judging by her hardened stare, she wasn't too thrilled with him up and disappearing on her, either. instead of pecking at him disapprovingly like one might expect, however, she's elected to just sit there. glaring.]

But... what do you do when one of your pokémon steals your other pokémon and refuses to give them back?

[upon closer inspection... yes, that would be a yellow paw on the ground directly beneath where Metal Chocobo is roosting. Roxas the Jolteon knows better than to attack without Sora's permission, so he is just... silently enduring being sat on like an egg.]

[heck, there's even an egg there, too. Sora didn't get a chance to read who it was from before Metal Chocobo swooped in with an metallic grinding squawk and snatched it right out of his hands, though.]

[GRAAAAAR, graaaar! Terror keeps roaring, even as Flare beats her down.]

Probably because you left, Sora.

[He sighs.]

Need some help dealing with her?

[No, this does not mean violence.]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

... Yeah. If you don't mind, Riku.

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

[Sigh. Riku slowly turns to face the jumbo bird, crossing his arms. Flare's also gonna look her way, pinning Terror down with his foot, as he snorts smoke from his nostrils. C'mon, birdie, let's not make this difficult.]

Hey, Metal Chocobo. Ever thought that maybe Sora didn't want to leave?

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[SQUAAAAWK. he still left, metal-color-haired friend of Trainer! and I was all by myself for months!]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

[...Man, he shouldn't have left Psyche back in the room. He's such a useful translator!

Ah well. Riku can... probably guess what she's getting at.]

If Sora had the choice, he probably would've taken you with him. He's not the kind of guy to leave a friend hanging.

[Hopefully he's not too far off the mark!]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[Sora can't help but duck his head at that, just a smidge bashful-- but Metal Chocobo leans her head forward, watching him critically, chirping. you would have, Trainer?]

[... and after a moment, he pipes up.]

Riku's right-- I would have taken all of you with me if I could have.

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

See? So there's no reason to treat him like trash.

[...Maybe a bit harsh of a description, but still.]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[SQUAAAAWK I'm not treating him like trash! I'm just punishing him!]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

[Too bad Riku doesn't understand that, nope.]

Okay, maybe that's a little harsh, but my point still stands.

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[I'm not budging until I get an apology from Trainer, metal-colored-hair friend of Trainer.]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

[In that case... Flare is gonna nudge Sora and snort, pointing up at the big ol' birdy.]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

... What?

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

[GRUNT.

He gives Sora a very, very serious look, placing a hand on his hip.]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

... I don't understand.

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

[...Facepalm is go, and then he nudges Sora closer to the big ol' bird!

Riku looks just as baffled here.]

I think he wants you to talk to her.

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Ohhh...

[that's actually a pretty good idea! hold that thought, Sora's going to attempt to inch closer without getting pecked.]

[brace yourselves!]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, Riku's gonna watch carefully, and if Sora needs help, Flare's not afraid of jumping in.]
