bamfsecretary: "Nemo" by Nightwish (now I really wish)

fifteenth form; fixing up, working hard, chilling out {video/action}

//action A

It's early morning, and, for whatever reason, you found yourself wandering around the southern edge of Goldenrod, right where Route 34 meets the city, that open expanse of ground where the path is clear from the forested hills to the east all the way to the shoreline at the west. You hear laughter, and banging noises, and the sounds of Pokemon not normally found in this region. So you decide to meander on over to the sea side, and see what the cause of this calm commotion is.

There's a worn path, bare of grass, with the odd flat stone embedded in the earth every now and again, and you follow it along as it winds between a small copse of trees, and emerges next to a short, old picket fence that may have once been white once, but is now a sort of greyish hue. You look around, and there it is: a lowset bungalow, with water marks up and down the walls, and a roof that's still made mostly of many-coloured tarps. There's a Gyarados with a sheet of roofing iron in it's mouth, and a Lunatone with a toolbelt slung over the hook that it's crescent-shaped body provides. An Alakazam carefully manipulates a hammer with telekinesis, and Ise Nanao steps out of the door, and tosses a ruined roll of carpet to the cratered ground.

"Hey, what's happening?"

//action B

It's late evening at the Goldenrod Pokemon Centre. For whatever reason, your character has found themselves there, for any number of reasons. But, once there, the first thing you see is a slim female figure, clad in a nurse's uniform, smiling benignly from behind the counter, unfailingly polite.

"Good evening. What can I do for you?"

//video, unfiltered

{The video flicks on to the view of pieces of eggshells in many different colours - black, blue, silvery and iridescent, purple sherds so thin they're nearly transparant, and white, red, and green. There's a faint squeaking sound in the background, and Nanao's voice is low.}

Hey there little guy - aww, look at you, you're so cute! {The mic picks up a slithering sound, and a blunt white snout comes into view - it nudges the 'Gear gently, knocking it over, and the nose  - belonging to a Dratini - lets out a little squeal, catching the attention of Nanao.}

Ah, Shiryuu, be careful, won't you? {She scoops both the babby Dratini and the 'Gear up, and one the camera stabilises, the network is treated to a view of six tiny baby Pokemons, all new-hatched and tiny and exhausted from breaking out of their eggs. The Dratini is placed down on a towel, and the Drifloon that's bobbing in the breeze grabs on with tiny hands and goes to sleep. Two Ralts are dozing, curled around each other, and there's a baby bath near, where a Lapras that's the size of a dinnerplate is snuffling quietly as it sleeps.}

There we go, now, that's better, isn't it? {The camera angle shifts once more, and there's a puppy Houndour spread out on a towel on Nanao's lap, and it's suckling quietly at a bottle, as she rubs a finger over thin ribs oh so gently. She laughs quietly at his hunger.} You're a little bit greedy, aren't you?
As you can see, all of my eggs have hatched, and they're all in good health. But... I am curious as to where this one came from. I can't remember exchanging anything for a Houndour, after all.

{{OOC: I may be on hiatus, but feel free to tag this post. I'll keep an eye on it, and tag every now and again.}}

[That is ... a lot of babies.]

Looks like you're going to have your hands full.

{Babies everywhere!!! She smiles softly at Cooper - she clearly cherishes this moement.}

Indeed. Happily, they're all sleeping now, but when they wake up...

[Aw. He appreciates it too, really, especially on seeing her happy about it.]

There'll be quite a ruckus.

{The houndour pup in her lap hiccups sleepily, and she pats his back gently.}

Well, I'm used to it, luckily enough. I had to keep an eye on an entire division of adult children back home. Surely these little ones can't be nearly as bad.

I wouldn't count on it. Considering their abilities they might keep you more busy than you'd think.

[video]

[identity profile] used-glare.livejournal.com 2011-04-22 12:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I have fixed the fence up, and this room has screens, so the Drifloon can't be blown away... I did try to make a playpen type area first, so that when they hatched I would be able to work, and know they weren't going to pull a Shunsui on me.

[video]

[identity profile] used-glare.livejournal.com 2011-04-23 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
Ahaha, sorry. It's an expression we used back where I come from. My Captain, Kyouraku Shunsui, is the laziest beast known to us, and is always and forever finding a way to skive off and avoid his work. Henceforth, his name is associated with the act of escaping and just generally running amok.

...It's a rather, uh, different neologism to what you are used to, and I'm sorry if I confused you.
tapestodiane: (coffee)

[video]

[personal profile] tapestodiane 2011-04-23 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
That's quite alright. Sounds like an undesirable trait in a Captain.

[He'd just been curious, and having gotten an answer, onwards to pointing things out. It's what he does best.]

[video]

[identity profile] used-glare.livejournal.com 2011-05-04 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
You have no idea. It's hell to try and get him to sign more than three documents in a row.

{Hooray for such skills!}

Well, paperwork is torture.

[He would know.]

[video]

[identity profile] used-glare.livejournal.com 2011-05-05 09:20 am (UTC)(link)
Only when you put it off for too long. When it piles up, that's when it gets torturous.
tapestodiane: all of these are mine unless otherwise noted! (almost smile)

[video]

[personal profile] tapestodiane 2011-05-05 01:11 pm (UTC)(link)
It has an uncanny ability to pile up without any help on my part. [And no, not trying to defend your Captain here, which should be apparent, just musing on the mysterious ways of torturous paperwork.] Not that that's any excuse - then again, few people are fortunate enough to have the abilities to prevent them.

[video]

[identity profile] used-glare.livejournal.com 2011-05-05 01:18 pm (UTC)(link)
That is true, I suppose. I've always wondered as to how it does that... {She lapses into silence for a few seconds as she muses of the oddities of paperwork.} Yes, blessed are those who can avoid the dreaded stuff entirely.
tapestodiane: (smile)

[video]

[personal profile] tapestodiane 2011-05-05 01:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[A small grin.] Amen to that.

[identity profile] used-glare.livejournal.com 2011-05-06 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
{Have an answering smile!} Perhaps we should form a club.
tapestodiane: (coffee)

[video]

[personal profile] tapestodiane 2011-05-09 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
Last time I heard, forming clubs involved paperwork.

[A light teasing note to his voice, there.]

[video]

[identity profile] used-glare.livejournal.com 2011-05-10 01:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh no, what ever shall we do? Here I had thought that I had finally escaped the dratted stuff altogether.

{Two can play this game, Mr. Cooper!}
tapestodiane: all of these are mine unless otherwise noted! (almost smile)

[video]

[personal profile] tapestodiane 2011-05-10 02:05 pm (UTC)(link)
The simplest solution would be to not form a club. [Raising an eyebrow, he smiles lightly.]

[video]

[identity profile] used-glare.livejournal.com 2011-05-10 02:15 pm (UTC)(link)
But then what would be our justification for complaining about paperwork over coffee and pastries?

{Clearly these two are the most under-appreciated people.}
tapestodiane: (coffee)

[video]

[personal profile] tapestodiane 2011-05-10 02:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[Points! Awarded with a smile.] How about just taking a coffee? As conversation is normally included, there's nothing excluding the opportunity to complain a little.

[video]

[identity profile] used-glare.livejournal.com 2011-05-10 02:42 pm (UTC)(link)
A conversation over coffee - you know what, that sounds absolutely divine. It's been quite a while since I've had one of those.
tapestodiane: all of these are mine unless otherwise noted! (almost smile)

[video]

[personal profile] tapestodiane 2011-05-10 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
That's hardly acceptable, Lieutenant. Coffee is a must. Consider it a standing invitation.

[video]

Thank you, Cooper, that's very kind of you. I shall be sure to keep it in mind!

Whoa, that's a lot.

Just a few, yes. I have a rather strong mothering streak in me, after all.

I think a few is kind of an understatement, but if you like it...

[identity profile] used-glare.livejournal.com 2011-05-04 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
I can handle it, don't worry. After all, I had to keep an eye on an entire division back home.

video;

[identity profile] used-glare.livejournal.com 2011-05-04 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
A military division, if that makes more sense.

...although they were the laziest soldiers I have ever met.
skillspanner: (Default)

[personal profile] skillspanner 2011-05-04 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
Oh... [Wait.] So you were in the military where you were from, then? I guess I could see what you mean.

video;

[identity profile] used-glare.livejournal.com 2011-05-04 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, that's correct - although our military has a rather unique purpose than what you might be used to.

...

Unfortunately, mine was the most disorganised division. Ever. I wish I was exaggerating.
skillspanner: (Default)

[personal profile] skillspanner 2011-05-04 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
I'm starting to think nothing can really surprise me in this place, so uh... shoot?

Wait, disorganized? Isn't the military supposed to be... you know. The opposite?

Re: video;

[identity profile] used-glare.livejournal.com 2011-05-04 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
It was the army of the afterlife. You can only join if you're dead. {Now connect the dots!}

Well, when you're dead, other things tend to take priority over training. Such as gambling. And other vices.

[personal profile] skillspanner 2011-05-04 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
[The dots are pointing to ZOMBIE UPRISING but he kind of thinks that's probably wrong.] Wait... seriously? I mean. Wait, why does the afterlife even need an army for, anyways?

Hehe, maybe that's why they do other things... really...

{Said with a completely poker face} So we can keep demons from killing you, and so we can send them to Hell, where they belong. Obviously.

Mm. I mean, when you're practically immortal, why bother doing unimportant things, when you've got an eternity to do whatever you want?

{She may or may not be trolling you, Yosuke.}

[ Why yes, Nanao she has been drinking.

translate: Nanao, that egg!

I'm not sure what it is but I think Captain Kurotsuchi may be in there.

That totally looks like the type of egg he'd be if he was an egg. Just seriously! The colors, the design, this place seems so nice but it's so cruel...]

OH YOU || video;

[identity profile] used-glare.livejournal.com 2011-05-04 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
...which egg? They've all hatched...

And you've found a bar, I see.

Not angry, not disappointed, just... well. Rangiku likes to drink, everyone knew that, but there were so many impressionable youths around. (And she obviously means her Pokemon, and not any humans.}

[identity profile] superboobies.livejournal.com 2011-05-04 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
Tthat onegg!! Withall the colors!! OLIVESEM!



Nnooooo~, I jjest raideded t-t t-the pokesenter's fridge.

[ No, I just raided the poke center's fridge ]

[identity profile] used-glare.livejournal.com 2011-05-04 09:22 am (UTC)(link)
All of them? {She looks down at the sherds, sorting through them with little 'clinks', until she holds up a large iridescent piece, which glitters in the light.}

Is this the one you were talking about?

. . . Dear Gods, why me? Are you sure it was alcohol?

[identity profile] superboobies.livejournal.com 2011-05-07 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
OLIVE THEGG SHELLS! OLIVESEM

[ all of the egg shells. Nanao can have no clue what she's saying ]

Itwas~

[identity profile] used-glare.livejournal.com 2011-05-08 08:21 am (UTC)(link)
...I can't understand what you're saying, Rangiku. Whatever you've had to drink, you've had far too much of it.

[identity profile] superboobies.livejournal.com 2011-05-09 09:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ THUD

Rangiku has passed out ]

[identity profile] used-glare.livejournal.com 2011-05-10 01:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh. I guess she doesn't quite have the tolerance she used to have here, after all.

{Nanao smiles, and terminates the feed, but not before leaving a short message for her friend.}

The Pokemon Centre doesn't encourage passing out in public, you should know.

Of course. I'm going to start tomorrow!!!

Have you built up anything you ggot taken away from home?
