7th Struggle [Action/Video] New Bark Town ... Again

[pinnedbangs]

[SUN. BRIGHT, SUNSHINEY SUN. It's so bright, it's almost as bad as getting blinded by snow. But that lasts for only a minute before the gear swings into focus on a face.

A very familiar looking face. Or maybe he wasn't familiar at all and those bright blue eyes, wild black hair, and somewhat sharp teeth were a new and unusual sight.

That person with the familiar looking face had an equally familiar looking Poochyena that had, lovingly, sunk her jaws into his skull. He's dealt with worse before, but he obviously wasn't too happy about his situation.

The Poochyena on the other hand, looked absolutely thrilled to be gnawing on her trainer once more.]

She's been doing this for fifteen minutes... [Fifteen minutes before he was just getting kicked out into New Bark and realizing that he had not dreamt up his time in Johto.]

... How do I make her stop? I can't feel much of my head anymore.

I hate to break it to you, but your every word and action drips with your incompetency.

That hasn't happened to me either. ... Except for me coming back. But I guess it's almost the same since I know I was home for a while. That's really weird.

[But wow, clones. Or maybe time travel? Hopefully he didn't encounter anything like that.]

video; /o/

[pinnedbangs]

I'm not completely incompetent!

[The nerve of Karkar and his big words! .... His name was Karkar, right?]

[Domri more or less matches the speed of Rin's excited talking.]

I usually don't need to summon anything. There are always strong animals nearby in the Rubblebelt. But I can summon a lot at once! I like every animal, even the ones that aren't strong, but all you can really do with them is eat them. I like wurms and ragebeasts though. They're really strong! Maaka are too. I haven't found a dragon I can summon yet - there aren't many of them and they're hard to get close to - but one day I will!

[Slowly...gently...stay still Pooch-- wait. what.]

Wha--? You too?

[Clearly this place is fucking with his head. Again. This should be the norm for Norm but his face continues to read perturbed as all fuck. It's days like this he wishes he could've studied something other than Psychology. What he needed is something practical. Something that would piece together the incoherent clusterfuck that is this reality.

...But that's just him being bitter.





OH! Right! Lethal pooch.]

--! Ah, a doctor? Not in this town but I think we can muster something for that wound. If anything, we can check that woman's house again.

[From the looks of it, Operation: Pupapalooz-getdafuqoffmyhead is slowly in motion. Last thing Norman wants to do is yank her off and that would be (literally) Rin's head. The key now is for her to loosen her bite. Only way he could think of is to pet her head gently. But not just a half-assed pet. No sir! This petting is legit; ear scratches and all.]

I doubt it. Yamask can breed as easily as any other Pokémon, and the resulting children were never human. If every dead person became one of them, between those and the eggs they would be much more common.

[But then again, for a few days they had been- No. He crushes that thought before it can fully form itself.]

[killer_sweets]

Most people wouldn't be aware of that good for you.

It's like chewing through a toothpick for her.

[ex_cashcow493]

Well, at least you had the opportunity to visit home. How was it by the way--visiting your world, that is? Did every concern you have grow settled or is there more waiting for you when you return?

( video ) sorry this is late!

[stressed]

[ she highly doubts that koyomi would ever show up in this place, but the sentiment is appreciated. in the end, koyomi was too busy spending his time saving other girls. ]

Thank you, Okumura-san. If he is the type of person who likes spending his time with papers and data, I'll keep a lookout at the Pokemon Centres. They have a job similar to what he might be interested in.

[ there's a small pause, and she falls silent for a minute before resuming. ]

If he acts like a mother hen, he must love you very much.

[Video] 1/2

[babel_hacker]

Yep, fifteen.

[DRAMATIC PAUSE.]

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

[He just breaks into a laugh.]

Nah, I only have thirteen of them!

[video]

[pinnedbangs]

[As odd as it was, Cecil's rational made sense. But it did bring another question to mind.]

I guess so... In the end, it's more like reincarnation. The yamask are happy, right? [They get kids, a free ride with a trainer, travel... seems exciting.]

( video ) think nothing of it! I'm all for backtags!

[pinnedbangs]

They do, huh? ... That brother of mine might really like it.

[Though at the same time he seriously doubts it because Yukio might want to go out for a run or something. Like a simple salary man on a diet.

Her pause gives him a moment to think over the possibility of Yukio actually being in Johto, as odd as it was. But her comment makes him smile, just a little more.]

We're all the family we've got. [The other "family members" won't ever count. Ever.]

[video]

[paladinlost]

They mostly are, from what I can tell. I imagine an unpleasant trainer would change that, but it would be the exception rather than the rule.

[Then again, he's hasn't had the chance to talk to many of them.]

( video ) you are too kind. c:

[stressed]

If you share such a strong bond as a family, then it's very possible he'll be here soon. Though I'm sure you can handle yourself just fine, he must be even a little worried about you. So try to stay safe, I'm sure he wouldn't want to see you in bad condition upon arrival.

( video ) x3

[pinnedbangs]

[Aw, was that concern for him? It would be nice to think that, but he was pretty sure that this time it was more about courtesy.

But, for his part, he really did hope she stayed safe.]

Maybe, but I'm not going to wait around for him to come. Thanks, though. ...You stay safe too, okay?

[pinnedbangs]

[SWEET FLIPPIN CRAB CAKES WAS THIS GUY AWESOME OR WHAT --

what -

he -- he summoned them to eat them?

Did he hear that correctly? Because it sure didn't sound very correct...]

I haven't even heard of half of those animals and they sound awesome. Do you come from a world of mountain folk or something? -- And dragons seriously exist where you're from?

[Video]

[pinnedbangs]

[Nooooooooooooot too sure if that was good or not. Maybe it was a good rule of thumb to just ignore it...]

-- has she ever bitten you?

[Video]

[killer_sweets]

Yep, a few times. But it was play biting, even if it hurt like hell.

video ;

[pinnedbangs]

Oh.

[That was a hard question to answer. Rin wasn't too fond of lying but and he was no good at hiding the truth. Saber was a good friend as far as he was concerned. Even if he was a little hesitant to really talk much about it.]

There's more waiting for me, but I don't like to worry about it like my brother does. I figure I better live my life the way I want to, and be the best person I can be.
