50. Accidental Video

[foolishwren]

_{[When the feed flickers on, it's first displaying a somewhat unsteady view of Heather's back. Occasionally it swivels back and forth shakily-- showing a blurry view of what looked like a lot of cracked eggshells. There were a few towels lying crumpled on the floor, as well. Her voice, muffled and slightly blotted out by the constant clicking and rattling noises resulting from the Totodile claws that are grappling to keep hold on the camera.]}

--thought you weren't gonna make it before the first day've the New Year was over. Guess you like cuttin' it close to the wire, huh little guy?

<sub>[There's something small but fuzzy and ragged-looking draped over her shoulder, jostling slightly as she rubs it down with a towel.]

[It's white, mostly-- with spiky, damp hair and something indistinct sticking out of its head-- something black and sickle-like. A reaper-y blade.]</sub>

Guess it's appropriate, though.

_{[She sits back and the camera's view scurries forward a little bit, swiveling upwards insistently. Catching sight of it (and its carrier-- guess who) out of the corner of her eye, Heather turns with a quirked brow.]}

Wh-- Zilla, put that thing down, you're gonna break it.

_{[She uses one hand to better support the fuzzy white thing cradled against her shoulder and makes a sort of halfhearted grab for Godzilla and the 'Gear with the other-- he dances out of reach, but she does hit a button and the Pokedex function comes online.]}

ABSOL, the DISASTER POKEMON. It has the ability to predict disasters and impending danger. Its tendency to only appear before humans prior to disasters has earned it a reputation as an evil omen and often caused it to become a target, leading to the species becoming even more shy and reclusive.

... Predicting disasters, huh.

Guess I'm safe, then. _{Mine's already happened.}

I know just what I'm gonna call you.

_{[Curious about the newest addition to their little motley crew, Godzilla inches forward with the camera once again, zooming in on the little creature's face. As the view gets clearer, a single red eye-- the one not obscured by a limp mop of white fur-- drifts open.]}

How do you feel about 'Alessa'?





[ooc: TAGS WILL COME TOMORROW-- I just realized I'm running a fever and shit's starting to move that really shouldn't. SORRY ILU GUYS. I'll-- .. um, I'll be back later. 8(;]

... whoa. Eerie...

[video]

[foolishwren]

Just a little.

I kinda like it, though.

Makes me think of home.

_{[She said it with a healthy dose of sarcasm.]}

[ so you remember a certain coupon that happens to promise girl time and ice cream? Guess what's being waved on the screen like a banner. ]

[video]

[foolishwren]

_{[OH BOY. HERE WE GO. No complaining, Heather. REMEMBER.]}

Shall I fetch the ice cream?

[video]

[usaginouke.livejournal.com]

They really do seem to predict disasters, you know.

[video]

[foolishwren]

What, did a ladder fall on you after yours hatched or something?

_{[Alessa blinks back slowly, although she seems less curious and more wary.]}

[ video ]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Huh. Sounds pretty useful.

[ video ]

[foolishwren]

Yeah, like a canary in a mineshaft.

_{[Her tone is a little dry.]}

[video]

[usednastyplot.livejournal.com]

Interesting. A somewhat popular present it seems.

[Please ignore the crashing and smashing in the background... please.]

[video]

[foolishwren]

I haven't been paying much attention to the network, but yeah, looks like a lot of people've.... gotten them.... what's all that racket?

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

Makes sense, that humans would mistake a warning for the cause. [He shrugs, but he does look very interested in the Absol.] Still, that sounds like something good to have around.

Happy new year, though.

[video]

[foolishwren]

Yeah. You'd think we'd learn after awhile.

_{[She knew good and well what it was like to be mistaken for the cause. She'd learned it a long time ago.]}

Happy New Year.

Doin' anything cool?

[action] awwww, poor bby. >:

[philanthrotaku.livejournal.com]

[Nosy nerd is nosy. Have an Otacon with a Chatot on his shoulder hovering about.]

I think it's cute.

Though it's a little late as far as disasters go.

[action]

[foolishwren]

_{[The Absol doesn't seem anywhere near as lively or active as, say, the baby Totodile that Heather had hatched several months ago. It's almost a little worrisome how quiet she is. Still, she lifts her head and sniffs at Otacon slightly.]}

Yeah, she is.

And heh, you don't have to say THAT twice... I guess it could come in handy though, yeah?

Voice

[no-nukes-plz.livejournal.com]

Predicts disasters, huh?

[He could have used something like that himself. It might have helped him avoid the future Hal had told him.]

...Alessa's a nice name.

Voice

[foolishwren]

'Pparently.

And heh, thanks...

_{[It had taken her awhile to ever consider the name that Dahlia had given her two lifetimes ago 'nice', but... she did now. It sounded peaceful. Her existence as Alessa had been anything BUT, but...]}

I dunno, I just thought it seemed fitting...

[video]

[cheapblusuits.livejournal.com]

It...predicts disasters?

[A pause.]

_{...can I borrow that?}

[video]

[foolishwren]

_{[She grins toothily.]}

Don't worry, if she starts turning in circles and making siren noises, your room will be the first place I look.

[pillowichooseu.livejournal.com]

Well that pokemon seems pretty useful. I think you need all the disaster detecting you can get. [A playful smirk.]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Heeeeey, I'm not that bad.

_{[She's grinning, though.]}

I guess it'll be nice to have some prior-notice before shit goes down, though...

[video]

[callmeadam.livejournal.com]

Seems like a rather useful trait. She's cute.

[Here, have a Ponyta sticking her face in the camera with a deadpan look!]

[video]

[foolishwren]

_{[Heather raises her brow, smirking a little. Hearing military dudes describe stuff as cute never ceases to amuse.]}

Thanks.

<sub>[... And then suddenly her eyes widen and she sort of backs up-- because ANOTHER Ponyta is edging into the frame to investigate the one on the other end of the line.]

[HERE, BOSS. MEET CAROUSEL.]</sub>

[video] GET BETTER SOON <3

[darkenedgales]

... An optimistic little being, I see.

[video] THANKS I feel better now. <333

[foolishwren]

Yeah, well, you can't really expect a stormbringer to be all bright and sunshiney, can you? _{[Her tone is fond, though.]}

[Video] I have no idea what you did with the blade-thing but it looks pretty cool. Also, GWS, bb.

[used-slackoff.livejournal.com]

Seems like a lot o' people a'e gettin' those. Gotta wonde' if it's the wo'ld's way of sayin', "Watch out, guys, you're about to get royally screwed over."

[Video] XD; Er, thanks! And yes, I feel much better. <3

[foolishwren]

... You know, that really wouldn't surprise me.

{Video}

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

{Cough, hack} She's... beautiful.

This may sound odd, but she looks vaguely familiar. {Frown.} I can't think why.

...

Are you that person who hollered at me on my first day here? {AWKWARD TIMING GET.}

{Video}

[foolishwren]

Familiar, huh?

Aaaaaandddd ..... maybe...?

_{[Heather bothered a LOT of people on their first day.]}

Were you the one who had a snowball fight with the teleporting thingy?

In that case, yes.
