[Route 29] Video/Action - Celadon City ((backdated to the 7th!))

[dreamsofahero]

[Video]

*at first, the video appears to be accidental, the 'gear held somewhat off to the side in one hand and thus giving a slightly crooked, odd-angled view in which one can make out Sion smiling and waving goodbye to some of the girls from the Celadon gym. Once the farewells are finished, however, he turns his attention back to the 'gear, now holding it up to better focus on the image on himself. The horns he acquired from the outbreak-inflicted mutations are plainly visible, to the point he's not even bothering making the futile effort to hide or disguise them*

I must say, if the trainers and leaders of the gyms here in this region are as pleasant as the young ladies here, collecting the badges will hardly feel like any trouble at all. Perhaps I'll have to consider paying them a visit again sometime once I've finished...

*he pauses, then adds*

Ah, and by the way, if you're free, would you care to join me for a drink sometime while I'm in the area, Arturia?

*he moves to turn off the feed, glancing up at a distinctive "swa~" from overhead as the video cuts out*


[Action]

*those who are in the immediate area outside the Celadon gym, meanwhile, might be just in time to see a swablu swoop in and land right on Sion's head, settling in quite comfortably as his horns provide a natural nest, much to Sion's apparent chagrin*

And just who let you out, Whisper?

*the only response he gets is a content "blu~"*

Wasn't me.

[dreamsofahero]

And you expect me to believe that?

[Action]

[tearsofademon]

She probably just came out on her own.

Re: [Action]

[dreamsofahero]

What have you been doing, anyway?

*since you obviously weren't challenging the gym yourself...*

[Action]

[tearsofademon]

Well, Rose found this restaurant down the street, and I guess she wanted to try their desserts or something. And, well... you know how she gets.

[...okay actually he might not have fought her too hard.]

video; Sorry for the delay, had to pull a double shift last minute at work <3

[ex_cashcow493]

[ When she answers, she's just wiping away the corner of her mouth with a napkin, trying to finish up what was probably her tenth meal of the day so far. ]

That gym? [ It clicks pretty quickly after. ] Ah! You have arrived in Celadon City?

[ Even though he's asked her publicly for drinks, Saber doesn't think twice on it. She's gone out for drinks with plenty of people, so there's no way this could end poorly any way. ]

I have endless amounts of energy it seems, so all my work has been done well in advance. If you would like to name a time and place, I can meet you there.

That's okay~ <3

[dreamsofahero]

*when Sion replies, he now has a swablu contentedly perched on his head that he's trying to ignore- apparently those horns make for a rather cozy nest...*

I have. Since I've managed to win against all the gyms in Johto, I thought I'd give challenging the ones here a try.

*oh, clearly there's no way a friendly drink can end poorly at all, right?*

Though do you have any recommendations? I haven't really had a chance to see much of the city yet...

[ex_cashcow493]

[ The sight is worth a chortle from her, as impolite as it may be. ]

The gym challenge is something that so many people here actively seek out, is it not? I only earned my first badge a few weeks ago and thought little of it. Although my team vastly is superior...

[ A pause. ] Usually Lancer is the one who knows where the best taverns are.

[dreamsofahero]

*will pretend he didn't hear that*

It is, and it certainly has its advantages; aquiring the means to fly on one's pokemon, for example. Though apparently, if you've defeated all eight leaders in one region, in the other, you'll have the option to challenge a much more difficult team.

Oh? Perhaps we should ask for his recommendation, then.

[ex_cashcow493]

As a Breeder, it seems I was able to borrow the discs I needed from Shirou and was able to fly like so. Although being able to travel would open up more opportunities and places to fly to.

We could do that if you would like.

[wontdieifkilled]

J-just make sure a drink is all you get with her.

Re: [Video]

[dreamsofahero]

*...now has a swablu perched on his head that he's attempting to ignore*

Oh? Why do you say that?

*not that he was planning on anything more than just what he said, but he's entirely ignorant of Saber's infamous appetite....*

[Video]

[wontdieifkilled]

Her appetite since this illness or whatever it is set in has been increased at least ten times over. She'll eat your wallet dry.

Re: [Video]

[dreamsofahero]

...ah, I see. My thanks for the warning.

[Video]

[wontdieifkilled]

I'm just relieved I could get to you before you had the chance to meet up with her. She's been having me cook for her, so I know exactly how big her appetite has been this past month.

Video

[hetairoooyjenkins]

Hmm. Is it appropriate to approach your liege with such intentions in the kingdom of the King of Knights?

...truly, hers is a strange land!

Re: Video

[dreamsofahero]

*...oh, it's you :|a also, has a swablu sitting on his head by the time he replies, because Whisper apparently likes ruining these moments*

...I couldn't speak for anyone or anyplace else, but I see no reason not to ask an acquaintance to join me for a friendly drink here.

Re: Video

[hetairoooyjenkins]

Heh. Why be ashamed? If your inclinations towards the King of Knights are thus then do as your heart demands! Fear no rejection but accept it if it comes!

Re: Video

[dreamsofahero]

*you are a very strange and slightly confusing individual*

I can't imagine why anyone would be ashamed to ask a friend out drinking, but I wouldn't begin to make assumptions as to how things are done in her world, so there was no reason for you to presume I'd be representative of it.

Re: Video

[hetairoooyjenkins]

...you aren't one of her knights, then?

video

[justicareplica]

It's wonderful to meet another friend of Arturia.

Re: video

[dreamsofahero]

*there is a swablu perched on his head by the time he responds. he's trying to ignore it. trying :|*

Ah, you're one of her friends from her post about the clothing, correct?

*not specifying what kind of clothing because really he sees no reason to dwell on the topic of women's undergarments...*

video

[justicareplica]

[ But Swablus are cute. ]

Yes, my name is Irisviel. It's nice to meet you.

Re: video

[dreamsofahero]

*yes, but he'd prefer it if she'd find someplace other than his head to perch all the time...*

Sion Astal. It's a pleasure to meet you, as well.

video

[justicareplica]

[ Poor Sion.

Iri chuckles a bit. ]

It seems your Swablu is fond of you.
