[tensai]

[when the video feed turns on, there’s a hassle in the background, a burst of flame, some frantic jabbering in the background. a dark-skinned lad with a worried expression gestures at a sleepy camel in tow. the camel sneezes. there is fire. the Mom, her expression pleasant, is reaching for a broom. his voice filters through the speakers, frantic--]

But ma’am, you don’t understand! The camel, it’s sneezing fire! Is it allergies? No, shouldn’t this violate some kind of a safety hazard--?

[meanwhile, in the background, a redhead, smaller than the tanned kid, is fussing about, opening drawers, peeking in cabinets, turning over jars and looking underneath various furniture. he’s followed around by a tiny, fat, blue thing, picking up discarded items, sniffing at them and checking if they’re edible, then hiding them in its furry skirt-thing. they’re both not paying any attention to the flaming camel. why? because there is something much more important to do.]

Oi, Jackal, stop bothering Mom about the camel and help me find marshmallows. We can totally roast them every time that thing sneezes!

[the dark-skinned lad double-takes, makes a choking sort of sound, and turns to his companion. Mom is smiling.]

Bunta, what are you-- [a sudden, angry, scraping sound, the texture of a broom across a countertop, and Jackal throws up his arms, eyes wide] No, ma’am, please, put down that broom! Ma’am--

Uh oh, trouble!

You think?! Door, door, door--

[the roar of a mother, reclaiming her kitchen, because some things are universal. the broom swings through the air. the video catches the tail end of two teenagers, a camel and a … furry bear cub thing as they careen out the door, the redhead victorious with a jar of cookies tucked under his arm like a trophy (a soft echo of ‘dou, tensai-teki?’ in his wake.)]

OUT. Out, out, out, out, out--

[aaaaand feed cuts]

Jeez, you're telling me that this is normal around here?

( video )

[attrites.livejournal.com]

Yep! Most of 'em can do stuff like that. Though it's not always breathing fire.

( video )

[remothering.livejournal.com]

... why can't things be safe.

( video )

[attrites.livejournal.com]

'Cause that's not as much fun.

( video )

[remothering.livejournal.com]

I don't think I can agree with your definition of fun. At all.

Where are you, anyway?

( video )

[attrites.livejournal.com]

I'm in Goldenrod City! Which is waaay far away from New Bark Town, unfortunately. Most of the rest of the team's here, too.

( video )

[remothering.livejournal.com]

Damn, we have a lot of catching up to do. How many hours away?

( video )

[attrites.livejournal.com]

It's more a measure of weeks and days than hours.

( video )

[remothering.livejournal.com]

... ahaha, good one.

( video )

[attrites.livejournal.com]

I'm not joking at all, you can ask anybody and they'll say the same thing.

( video )

[remothering.livejournal.com]

You can't be serious.

( video )

[attrites.livejournal.com]

[ just... shrugs. ]

Okay, then, I'm not serious.

( video )

[remothering.livejournal.com]

... No, I believe you. You're not the sort t'joke about this sort of thing.

( video )

[attrites.livejournal.com]

But why did you think I was joking, exactly?

( video )

[remothering.livejournal.com]

I honestly thought it'd be like a few days. Hours. That's the way it seemed like in the games.

( video )

[attrites.livejournal.com]

Well, it's kinda like the games, but... not really. Reality works in strange ways here!

( video )

[remothering.livejournal.com]

So... is this how strange as it gets? Or does get even, you know, stranger.

( video )

[attrites.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah, it gets way stranger. Like the music and the ledges and stuff.

( video )

[remothering.livejournal.com]

Don't tell me-- the ledges are the same one-way things like they are in the games.

( video )

[attrites.livejournal.com]

Yep, you got it in one! Even though most of 'em are really pretty short.

( video )

[remothering.livejournal.com]

I'm not even gonna try questioning that. Sounds like it's just asking for trouble.

( video )

[attrites.livejournal.com]

Pretty much. You just kinda hafta roll with it.

( video )

[remothering.livejournal.com]

Heh. Sounds like you are my senpai in this.

( video )

[attrites.livejournal.com]

Well, I have been here for pretty long now... but don't get me wrong! [ he can't use the "senpai buy me lunch!!" method if his senpai is not his senpai anymore. ]

( video )

[remothering.livejournal.com]

[right on cue--] So is it your turn ta treat us lunch, Kiddo?
