[Route 29] Accidental Video - Viridian Forest

[dreamsofahero]

*the video comes on to a lot of jostling around and movement- clearly someone had accidentally turned on his 'gear while pulling it from his bag. But if you look more closely, you'll see it's not just the pokegear's movement that's causing the scenery to rush past in a blur.... but that, in fact, the trees and undergrowth of Viridian Forest really are zooming past the camera's view as it and its holder race along through it. After the moment the view stabilizes, looking backwards to reveal the tail of an arcanine swishing through the bottom of the frame, and several paces beyond that, a certain lazy mage clinging desperately for dear life to sawsbuck galloping behind*

Really? It's bad enough you talked me into this, now you want to show this off to everybody??

Of course not, I just wanted an image for myself of the look on your face as you trail behind~

*there's just a wordless cry of frustration from Ryner at that, to which Sion only laughs. A warning bark from the arcanine interrupts him though, and the image jolts as he apparently suddenly ducks, then blinks off as it's jostled again. The king and the strongest mage of Roland, ladies and gentlemen*

[If only Ellie knew the proper way to be careful of her rider and make sure he doesn't end up falling off...]

At least have the common sense to watch where you're going if you're gonna do bothersome things like that!

[dreamsofahero]

Don't worry, Fio wouldn't let anything happen without warning...

*even so, has put the 'gear away and is crouched down over the arcanine's back again*

...more importantly, if you don't step up the pace, you'll never catch up to us~

[tearsofademon]

I know that! Dammit, why did I even agree to this stupid race to begin with??

[dreamsofahero]

*the only answer you get is a real laugh*

[tearsofademon]

[grumble grumble grump but at least Sion is having fun

Ellie seems to be having enough fun that she steps up the pace without her rider's input, anyway.]

[dreamsofahero]

*oh dear they're starting to catch up, time to urge Fio to go even faster~ though really the trick here isn't so much speed- which the arcanine has plenty of- but rather the agility to continue to dodge all the many obstacles the forest presents....*

[tearsofademon]

[The thing about deer is that they live in forests, okay. They know forests. Ellie and agility when it comes to trees? She's got that much down pat.

...Even if Ryner is still forced to cling for dear life.]

[dreamsofahero]

*yes, that's why Sion's encouraging Fio to use all the speed he can possibly muster!! ....though fortunately refraining from telling the arcanine to just burn himself a path*

[tearsofademon]

[yes let's please not burn down Viridian Forest that would be bad. Think of the local flora!]

[dreamsofahero]

*that's why he's not doing it! though he TOTALLY is urging Fio on to his utmost any time they hit a more open patch or a clearing to try to get that little extra lead...*

[tearsofademon]

[Ellie's definitely catching up fast in the non-open sections though...]

[dreamsofahero]

*and that's why Sion's urging Fio to take every opportunity possible to keep the lead... even if it means things like cutting Ellie off and such >_>*

[tearsofademon]

[Oh, but cutting her off is just going to make her even more eager to win herself, you realize.]

[dreamsofahero]

*bah, as though Sion and Fio would let her win so easily.... really this might just go on until they're both forced to stop and rest, at this rate*

[tearsofademon]

[That's very likely.

...It's also very likely that it could be some time before that happens, of course.]

[dreamsofahero]

*yes, well, at least that means we'll be through the forest that much faster?*

[tearsofademon]

[There is that bright side to it ^^]
