[Route 29] Accidental Video - Azalea Town

[dreamsofahero]

*The video flicks on as Sion's 'gear is sent bouncing across his bed in the local inn, eventually coming to a rest on a crooked view of his backpack.... and what looks like the back half of an eevee sticking out of it*

Eevee vee!

*Said eevee seems very intent indeed on whatever his objective is, which apparently involves scattering Sion's belongings left and right as he digs through the bag.*

Vee veeeee eeVEE!

*And finally, with a shout of triumph, the eevee pulls out something that looks remarkably like one of those boxes of chocolates that appeared back on Valentine's Day. He looks around quickly, ears twitching, then dashes off with his prize, knocking over the 'gear once again and causing it to shut off in the process*

[Varon is laughing at the sprawled out belongings. Yep, he's been there before with his two and still struggles with it.]

Looks like you're havin' some mischief. Careful that he doesn't eat those chockies. It might make 'im sick.

Re: video

[dreamsofahero]

*by the time he replies, he's caught the little troublemaker and is busy trying to wipe the chocolate off the eevee's face and paws with a small towel*

I'm a little surprised he tried. He's never done anything like this before...

Re: video

[last_to_kneel]

How long has be been with ya?

[Both of Varon's eevee now are looking at the screen with curiosity.]

When I got my two, the first day was a mess...well, take that back, first week.

Re: video

[dreamsofahero]

*Jina looks up suddenly, apparently startled by the sound, and hops back to make a valient attempt to borrow his way into Sion's shirt*

He hatched about a month ago, but, ah, he hasn't really been inlcined to make trouble, as you probably can see...

Re: video

[last_to_kneel]

Ah. He seems like he needs some exercise. They like lookin' for things. If you got th' time, I did this with my two, put a treat inside somethin' so he can hunt for it. It's not a good idea t' let 'im just walk about like he owns th' place. He'll test ya.

He's just a babe still. Have ya taken' him out for walks? They like that too. You gotta be active with 'em.

Re: video

[dreamsofahero]

*puts one arm around the eevee, idly stroking his head with the other. Jina seems to relax visibly at this*

Taking him out isn't really the problem, just that he's rather, ah, skittish around anything he hasn't had time to get used to. That's why it's surprising that he'd make such a mess.

Re: video

[last_to_kneel]

Oh. See I didn't know that. Usually eevee are pretty vibrant an' outgoin'. That's definitely a shocker.

[He looks like he's thinking and looks to Zipper.]

Maybe he's now gettin' used to ya. What's his name?

Re: video

[dreamsofahero]

Well, I suppose his father's certainly lively enough, from what I've seen...

*thoughtfully manages to wipe the rest of the chocolate off Jina's face, which the eevee squeaks at, before tentatively peeking over Sion's arm to look at the device, since it's clearly not actually doing anything other than making noise...*

Ah, and his name's Jina.

Re: video

[last_to_kneel]

Huh.

[He softly chuckles at the sounds Jina is making.]

Have ya tried some games? They're pretty high energy.

[Varon's eyes looked to Jina and nods.]

Oy, now, you shouldn't be so vocal. He's only tryin' t' help.

Re: video

[dreamsofahero]

As long as I can find a way to keep him interested, I suppose. Perhaps if I could find something he likes as much as he apparently does that chocolate...

*Jina glances up with a curious "vee?" then looks over at the 'gear again, though still not yet leaving the relative safety behind Sion's arm*

Re: video

[last_to_kneel]

Careful with that though. Too much could make 'im fat or make 'im sick. You could try a good trail mix with honey if he's got a sweet tooth.

[Adam and Zipper are rolling a ball between them, mirroring each other as they go along.]

Re: video

[dreamsofahero]

Oh, I'd make sure he worked hard enough to earn it first, of course.

*Jina is just eying the 'gear with increasing curiously. he's never actually seen other eevee before, since his dad's an umbreon....*

Re: video

[last_to_kneel]

[Varon fishes in his bag and takes out the treats for his two eevee.]

Heads up!

Eeeveee!

EEEEEVEEEEE!

[Adam bats the ball back and Zipper does the same. Varon turns and tosses them both dried fruit covered in honey and granola and the two chirp gleefully as they jump to catch the treats in an acrobatic display that looks almost choreographed, one crossing the other.]

Good job, guys!

[He turns his attention back to the screen.]

Chocolate even as a treat can cause bad habits. I got Adam from a friend and she worried that she wasn't givin' 'im enough attention. They require a lot of it. They like bein' involved.

[tearsofademon]

Looks like he inherited a tendency to go through people's stuff without permission from his dad.

[he says while petting a certain Umbreon]

Re: [Action]

[dreamsofahero]

*well, now that the wayward eevee has been cornered and removed from the chocolate, Sion is now attempting to remove the chocolate from the eevee with a small towel*

I'd certainly hope he doesn't make it a habit...

[Action]

[tearsofademon]

Wonder why he went after the chocolate, of all things.

Re: [Action]

[dreamsofahero]

I couldn't say. He's always enthusiastic about food, but not quite that much...

[Action]

[tearsofademon]

Maybe it just smelled really good to him.

Re: [Action]

[dreamsofahero]

Well, I suppose it isn't bad to see him enthusiastic about something, for once.

[Action]

[tearsofademon]

There is that. Anything that gets him out of his shell a little can't be a bad thing, right?

Re: [Action]

[dreamsofahero]

Exactly.

*pauses in his work to glance down at the eevee, almost fondly*

[Action]

[tearsofademon]

[noticing that... and looking down at his own Eeveelution with a smile and extra scritches.]

What do you think, Jiji? Think it was a good idea, giving Sion one of your kids?

["Bre~" ...Whether Jiji agrees or is just loving all the attention is hard to tell, of course...]

Re: [Action]

[dreamsofahero]

*"Vee!" Jina perks up and manages to squirm out of Sion's grasp to go nuzzle Jiji... despite still having a good deal of chocolate smeared on his face and front paws. Sion can't seem to decide whether to be exasperated or amused*

[Action]

[tearsofademon]

["Umbreon~" Jiji will nuzzle back happily! YAY NUZZLING~

As for the chocolate... well, when your fur is black, that doesn't tend to show up. :)]

Re: [Action]

[dreamsofahero]

*"Eevee eevee vee eevee!" Jina is happily chattering about how he found something that smelled really good and TASTED really good...*

You know, if it weren't so prone to making a mess, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try using something like that to motivate him a little...
