020 [audio + accidental video/action for Azalea]

[miniworth]

...Miss Rise? I just arrived in Azalea. 

Thank you for the tofu, and I think it's all right if I just give the money to the Pokémon the delivered it, right?

Thank you, again. 


[Good day, Johto! The feed opens up this fine Wednesday afternoon to--- a slowpoke. The camera stays on the slowpoke for at least five minutes before Miles speaks up.]

.......So what are we doing, again?

[Ken's voice is very. Very serious.] We're waiting for it to move. And catching it on video.

.........Why?

Because. [The discussion is closed. The camera shifts as Miles shrugs, and it continues recording. 

The slowpoke in the foreground gives no sign of moving, and it appears that he is all that the boys are watching, because near the top of the screen there is another slowpoke, and he is clearly, slowly but clearly, moving. And he has Cara the Charmander on his back, just sitting there as he keeps moving. And moving.

Oh, and is that a well he's heading to? Because he's climbing up to it. And inside.

And Cara is barely keeping her balance on the edge of that wel----]

Cara! 

[The Shota Slowpoke Observation Video is cut short when Miles, alarmed by OH MY GOD MY POKÉMON IS GOING TO FALL DOWN THE WELL, jumps to his feet, taking the Gear with him, and running toward her. His hands reach out (the camera is still recording, catching blurry landscape) to grab her.

The camera is still recording, but somehow... there's something wrong. The scenery changes.

It's suddenly getting darker and darker, the mic catches the sound of a boy giving a shocked gasp.]

[And then-- CRASH! - with an ominous static noise and a BZZZZZZZZTTT, the recording cuts out. ]




[[ooc: HEY GUYS GUESS WHAT.

Miles dropped his Gear down the well. Thus, he won't be able to make any video/audio/text responses or posts until he gets another one, probably when he gets back to Goldenrod which, according to plans, is... mid to late March? So he'll disappear for a while, sometimes poking his head into Ken's (Pokémon's) posts until then. :|b

Oh and TRAVEL GROUP: dinner tonight is fucking tofu, bros.


also i am delirious. placeholder post and I am going to sleep /)__(\ ;; ]]

In the meantime, you can use mine... if you like. I'm sure Ken-san wouldn't mind, either.

[just peeking her head further in the well as she says this. it's just like Cara!]

It does seem dry. [echo echo echo.] I wonder why it's here, then... For the Pokémon?

[action]

[miniworth]

Thank you, Miss Aigis. [beat] If I really need it, I'll ask if I can borrow it for that.

It might have been used in the past, but it dried out, so the Pokémon are using it..

[action]

[deathtopped.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

[nodding. not like edgeworth can see, though, since her head is in the well, but. he can assume she's doing so. but her head's out of the well, now.]

It seems like there's a lot of one type of Pokémon around... I wonder why.

[action]

[miniworth]

!! You can see inside there? It's really dark.. [He's peering inside as well, and... nope! It's dark. He guesses it might be a robot thing.]

[action]

[deathtopped.livejournal.com]

Ah... yes.

It's not as clear, due to the distance, but there seem to be a lot of... [aww yiss robo vision. a pause. she's trying to recall the name of the pink things.] I believe they are "Slowpoke".

[action]

[miniworth]

....You have amazing eyesight, Miss Aigis. [He's still trying to see, to no avail.] I think this was called the Slowpoke Well, so it makes sense.

[action]

[deathtopped.livejournal.com]

It's part of my... function.

[unsure if he knows about that, but ken said he did, so fine. Aigis is just... kind of standing nearby in case Miles falls in there. which she knows he won't, but. well. in case.]

Slowpoke Well?

[action]

[miniworth]

My eyesight isn't terrible, but it isn't the best, either... Function or not, I think it's great that you can see that much. [He's very careful to stay balanced because he still has a Charmander in his arms. :|b ]

Mhm. That's what the people of Azalea call it.

[action]

[deathtopped.livejournal.com]

I'm sure your vision is fine... There will be variations depending on the body, after all. [like robo-bodies. even if miles is being careful, aigis is still on stand-by.]

It is very fitting. Is there a reason why the Slowpoke gather at this well in particular?

[action]

[miniworth]

My father wore glasses. I think it just runs in the family.. but I'm probably going to need glasses one day. :|a He pulls back from the well and shrugs.]

I'm not sure why... but we can ask around while we stay here, I guess.

[action]

[deathtopped.livejournal.com]

I think looking down to the bottom of the well would be difficult, even with flawless vision. [she relaxes a bit once he steps away from the well, and her expression softens.]

Yes. This town is... calm.

[action]

[miniworth]

I wonder what it's like down there.. [He nods at her observation.] It's remote and quiet. I think I'll like it here.

[action]

[deathtopped.livejournal.com]

If it is like usual wells then... dark and wet. [brilliant reasoning, aigis.] Mm, I think so as well. It reminds me of Cherrygrove.

[action]

[miniworth]

...If it's like usual wells, there won't be Pokémon inside it, I think. [blink. blink. beat.] It's a lot quieter, though. Less people come here than Cherrygrove.

[action]

[deathtopped.livejournal.com]

... That's true... Or perhaps the Slowpoke prefer it that way. [maybe they're so slow because of oxygen deprivation ;_;... looking down the well again.] Yes. That's to be expected, I suppose.

[action]

[miniworth]

[...Miss Aigis oxygen deprivation might kill them. He's peering up at her now, not to the well.] ....Well, either way, I don't think my Gear survived that fall.

[action]

[deathtopped.livejournal.com]

[if oxygen deprivation didn't, the pokegear falling did.]

If it managed to, it would be difficult to retrieve it. Either way... I cannot see it. I'm sorry, Miles-san.

[action]

[miniworth]

[There's probably a poor Slowpoke down there, bleeding, in pain, because a gear fell on his head.]

Please don't apologize, Miss Aigis. [omg why are you apologizing D8] It was my fault, and I'm glad Cara's safe, after all.

[action]

[deathtopped.livejournal.com]

[... poor slowpoke. RIP!]

I-- no, it wasn't anyone's fault. [she is just so used to apologizing okay. and robo-vision should be able to spot it. :( but she's taking a step toward Miles, nodding.] Hopefully Cara-san does not wander near the well again.

[action]

[miniworth]

[IT LIVED LONG AND PROSPERED]

I'll keep her away. [And giving Cara a look, that goes kind of dismissed because she's not paying attention.]

[action]

[deathtopped.livejournal.com]

[WE WILL PLAN AN AMAZING FUNERAL FOR IT...]

And I will keep both arms open in case she falls. [that's not how you use the phrase, Aigis, but okay. but cara, pay attention to this worrying, darnit.] Please be careful, Cara-san.

[action]

[miniworth]

[BUT FIRST WE MUST FISH IT OUT... do you want to? ]

[By the way Aigis, Miles thinks what you just said is cute and he's smiling. Unfortunately Cara is busy climbing out of his arms and onto his shoulder to listen, but shota is smiling.] Thanks, Miss Aigis.

[action]

[deathtopped.livejournal.com]

[NO ARE YOU CRAZY. it's dark down there. team rocket will smack me.]

[and aigis totally feels a change in atmosphere, and... she just nods, following cara's movements before looking back at Miles.] It's all right... and just Aigis is fine, Miles-san.

[action]

[miniworth]

[and that was why we had no funeral..]

[Still grinning, he nods.] Aigis, then.. Um, just Miles is fine, too. [It took him. Two months. To get Ken to drop that.]

[action]

[deathtopped.livejournal.com]

[in our mind we did.]

[aigis is a little surprised at that. she hasn't ever not dropped the -san.] Just Miles... [suddenly feeling shy. looking down at the floor in thought, and then she lifts her head back up.] Um... all right, Miles-san. [oh, oops.] Miles.
