108. [Video/Action for Mahogany]

[foolishwren]

<sub>[There's been a lot of people leaving lately.]

[Which means a lot of Pokemon left behind.]



[Today's video is brief. Like maybe six seconds long, and it starts outside the PokeMart in Mahogany Town. You know, where delivery people sometimes show up with mail too big to be sent through the PC. Someone else is holding the camera-- possibly Henry.]

[There, sitting right down there in the dirt, is Heather.]


[Surrounded by approximately five million Mightyena.]

[... Okay, more like six.]</sub>





WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH ALL THESE DOGS?!!

Just saying you could.

As an option.

voice;

[foolishwren]

Great, wow, yeah, thanks.

If I ever need any other big life crises resolved, now I know I can just go to Ironhide for his stellar advice. Have you thought about writing self-help books?

voice;

[show_my_cannons]

Kid, just get rid of them. Not hard. Someone probably wants a bunch of canines.

voice;

[foolishwren]

I can't. They belonged to a-- .... a friend.

It'd be a crappy thing to do.

voice;

[show_my_cannons]

What did they expect you to do with them all...?

voice;

[foolishwren]

I have no idea.

Maybe he didn't plan it.

I don't know.

He's gone.

_{[And she's sadder about that than she thought she'd be-- Sheriff Harry was a good guy. And a friend of Cooper's, to boot.]}

[show_my_cannons]

Hn.

... You want company or...? Someone to sit on those dogs, at least?

voice;

[foolishwren]

_[HUMPH.]

No.

I got it under control.

voice;

[show_my_cannons]

You sure, kid?

voice;

[foolishwren]

Yeah.

I don't need help with everything, y'know!

_{[It probably comes out a li-ttle harsher than she initially intended.]}

voice;

[show_my_cannons]

...

Suit yourself.

voice;

[foolishwren]

...

... Ugh...

I'm sorry, Ironhide.

It's just frustrating.

voice;

[show_my_cannons]

Yeah.

I know it is.

voice;

[foolishwren]

He was showing me how to ride horses.

... The trainer who left these guys to me.

voice;

[show_my_cannons]

Thought you were not fond of horses, kid.

voice;

[foolishwren]

I'm not.

But I had to start learning. And he offered.

voice;

[show_my_cannons]

Why did you have to?

voice;

[foolishwren]

_{[A deep sigh.]}

Haven't we been through this?

voice;

[show_my_cannons]

Humor a forgetful old soldier.

voice;

[foolishwren]

_{[Another sigh.]}

... I had an issue and the best solution I had involved Carousel. I figured I could make it even more effective by actually being able to ride her instead of just sending her out and having her fight.

Turned out to be a non-issue.

But I wanted to be prepared.

_{[And even now, she wants to be prepared... even if it never happens again.]}

voice;

[show_my_cannons]

Hn.

[He's quiet for a minute, absorbing that one. She'd mentioned the issue with the horse...]

[Hopefully he'll be able to apply some kind of tact here.]

Anyone else know how to handle one of those animals?

voice;

[foolishwren]

Yeah, sure, there's people.

Carmen knows. She showed me a bit. But tying her down to one place to teach me probably isn't something either of us want.

I dunno.

I'll learn on my own.

voice;

[show_my_cannons]

Not even to get the basics down?

Kid, you are not a fool. You learn quick. Might be worth it, just to learn how not to fall off.

[He's trying. If he knew how to do it, he'd offer, but horses don't exactly exist on Cybertron.]

voice;

[foolishwren]

I know the basics.

Believe it or not, I did in fact get as far as sitting on her without dying instantly.

voice;

[show_my_cannons]

How was I to know what you knew?

Just... saying.
