001; video/action: new bark town; adventure time;

[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]

But with all of us here, maybe there's a chance your teammates can pop on in, too. This place doesn't seem ta discriminate.

I'm not sure there's a system to even rig, but I guess it's better to see some familiar faces than none at all.

You said it. Though it's still kinda disconcerting to talk to people like I haven't seen them in ages-- when I just saw them yesterday. At the arcade, even.

I wouldn't be surprised. One day, you're minding your own business, and the next day you're in a new world where nothing makes sense at first.

As long as it gets better. But damn, I just wish they'd explain things better.

It gets better. I mean, it's still confusing, but you'll get the hang of it after a while.

... A while. [Aka he has no idea, because he's still not used to it either.]

[a pause. then--] Hey, you've been here longer than I've been. I'll take your word for it.

So, got any other tips for a newbie?

[identity profile] superrising.livejournal.com 2011-09-19 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
Just one.

Try not to get lost in Union Cave. There are Onixes there, and they are as huge as they imply in the game.

Also, you might want to try getting a part-time job in each place you go to. They'll let you off in five days without trouble if you need to leave soon, but the pay is really good.

Woah, you can skip between jobs like that? They don't mind?

[video]

[identity profile] superrising.livejournal.com 2011-09-20 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
Only if you keep up to five days. They get very angry if you leave before that.

Er... how angry is... 'angry'...?

[video]

[identity profile] superrising.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
Like "I will get you arrested" angry.

Time ta pay attention to all the fine-print. This place is dangerous.

[identity profile] superrising.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 08:01 am (UTC)(link)
Well, duh. It's a world with pokémon--- you know, the fire-breathing, electrocuting and freezing types.

[video]

[identity profile] remothering.livejournal.com 2011-09-24 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
And gettin' arrested would just be icing on the damn cake. Let's all be careful.

[video]

[identity profile] superrising.livejournal.com 2011-09-24 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Well, as long as you do your job and don't harm pokémon, I think it's fine. I don't know any other real rules though.

You know, it might be worthwhile ta find a police station and figure it out.

[video]

[identity profile] superrising.livejournal.com 2011-09-24 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
Might be--- There should be one in the next town over.

[identity profile] remothering.livejournal.com 2011-09-24 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
I'll go check it out and let you know what's up.

[video]

[identity profile] superrising.livejournal.com 2011-09-25 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
Works for me!

Try not to get lost or eaten on the way.
