2nd Evolution - Action/Video for Rt. 30
[Impmon isn't happy as the video feed clicks on (shocking, truly); taking a bite out of a small bun like he's settling a personal grudge. He's somewhere at the water's edge and his Magikarp can be seen happily splashing in the shallows behind him. It's still somehow flat on it side, which seems frankly unhealthy, but Impmon has resigned himself to its apparent normality. A Dedenne and a Zigzagoon are seated next to him, digging into a pile of fruit and individually wrapped baked goods and snacks.]
So-
[He swallows a mouthful of bun before continuing.]
I'd been planning on going back to New Bark this weekend, t'see if I could find anything weird in that house we all woke up in, right? 'Cept it turns out that SOMEONE'S got sticky fingers and lifted a bunch a' crap from one of the stores in Cherrygrove an' royally pissed off the owner.
[He shoots a very obvious accusatory glare at his Dedenne, who looks up and takes a huge bite of apple. She's not sorry in the slightest.]
So, uh, goin' back through the city might be off the table for a little while.

IT'S ANOTHER ONE ANOTHER ONE
ANOTHER ONE A-NO-THER OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE
And what's that looking through the video? A veritable horde of Dedenne, all chipper and all fighting for as much control of the small screen as possible. It's surprising how theur collective energies haven't shorted out the device yet...]

[Riku pinches the bridge of his nose, sighing softly. He knows this kinda situation all too well.]
You try punishing her? Maybe that's all it'll take before she gets a clue.
no subject
Uh-
[But before Impmon can say anything himself, he's interrupted as his Tyrunt shoves its snout excitedly into the camera, snuffling and investigating the sounds.]
Ru! Rurururu!
[OH SWEET ARCEUS SO MANY NEW FRIENDS, COME THROUGH THE SCREEN AND PLAY-]
Re: [Video]
Lemme guess. They grab shiny stuff?
Re: video
[He hadn't really considered that yet, somehow. His idea of punishment usually involves some kind of physical attack, and he's not about to do that to a little orange rodent thing, no matter how much of a pain in the ass it's being.
Plus it DID bring them all this food.]...Any suggestions on that? It doesn't seem to care about much.
[Man, he feels uncool having to ask this kind of thing.]

But the other three sit and stay and squeak right back NEW FRIENDS FRIENDS FRIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENDS HI HI HI HI HI HI HI HI HI HI HI HI HIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHHIHIHIHIHI WE WANNA PLAYWEPLAY WE WANNA PLAY DO YOU KNOW HIDE AND SEEK --
their non-stop chatter doesn't get any better when the herd regroups, realizing that the tyrunt is nothing to fear.]
[Video]
If it glitters, it's theirs.
And good luck getting it back.
Re: [Video]
[Priorities.]
Cause as far as I can tell these two just kinda wandered around grabbing stuff an' then waved at the cashier when they followed me out.
no subject
[Impmon would like very much for his life to NOT be a cacophony of excited monsters, and to not have a very sharp-toed mini-dinosaur climbing over his lap to get at the Pokegear, but neither of those things seem very likely right now.]
[Giruko, meanwhile, is absolutely beside himself because YES HE WOULD LOVE TO PLAY HIDE AND SEEK, HE WANTS TO SO BADLY.]
Here, just gimme- HEY!
[Impmon tries to readjust their positions so maybe he won't get trampled by his own Pokémon; unfortunately that means he has to move the gear away from Giruko, which in Hyperactive Lizard translates to "let's play fetch with this thing in my hand".]
[So that herd of Dedenne is now being treated to the scenery of Route 30 rushing past at high speeds, slightly obscured by Tyrunt teeth, with Impmon's shouts for the return of his Gear mingling with the usual background music.]
[Video]
Or at least mine is.
C'mere, Wren.
[There's a croak and then a sleek blue-black shape hops onto Heather's knee.]

NEW FRIEND GO FASTER GO FASTER GO FASTER WE WANNA FEEL LIKE RUNNING TOO! WE CAN RUN AND JUMP AND PLAY AND PLAY AND PLAY AND HIIIIIDE US WE'LL FIND YOU YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYYYA!!!
-- But (fortunately) someone finally overhears all this chatter.]
...Just what are you guys up to?
[Rin isn't too bothered that his pokemon have the gear. What's bugging him is that he can feel the static growing in the air. His hair is standing on end.]
Re: [Video]
[It's not theft if you don't get caught, right?]
[And yup, that's definitely pretty close to some kind of crow.]
Yeah, it looks like it could be pretty sneaky. Where'd you get it?
[And Impmon is taking almost the entirely wrong message from all this.]
no subject
That's- not- a toy-
[Impmon is breathing a bit hard as be catches up and tugs the gear out of Giruko's mouth. He's in pretty good shape, even as a human, but those stubby dino legs can move surprisingly fast.]
Oh, EW that's a Kitts drool-
[Video]
You can catch 'em almost anywhere in the wild, though. Even when you're in towns and cities.
Just like real crows.
no subject
[He doesn't take kindly to insults, sir, especially if they seemed to be aimed at his little dedenne. The Static Gang cheers again, prompting Rin to come forward. His face can be seen above the sea of Dedenne paws, cheeks, and whiskers.]
