Day 2 [video]; backdated to the 25th

[notchinese]

Is it still there?

I don't know, why don't you check?

[The gear is placed on top of the bed, showing a view of a drawer. The camera shot was narrowly avoid the view of the window until whoever decided to tilt the camera angle to show what was at the window.]

[....yeah.]

God, its so creepy. Why is it just staring at us like that?

Maybe he's a secret admirer like that William boy-

[There was a Medicham's cry and a body hitting the floor, followed by some angry grumbling.]  

Before I resort to throwing a rock at Rudolph here, does anyone know how make him go away?

And, oh yeah. Merry Christmas.

Comments

video; safe to assume they've covered the basic introduction-y type stuff by now? :|a

[shadows_edge]

That is...mildly disconcerting.

[Hi Yumi, it's that other guy who lives in the Celadon breeding center. The one with a stupidly long name who is apparently an alien. He doesn't really talk much and spends a ridiculous amount of time glued to books when he's not working.]

[Hello, this is an attempt to socialize with you, housemate.]

video; yessir

[notchinese]

[Yumi hides a look of surprise upon seeing her other housemate. She forgot you existed, Faize.]

You might rethink that when I mention its been floating there since I woke up. I think he was watching me sleeping...

[video]

[snotfaced]

I'd punch him in the nose.

[...Why is he saying this in a boastful manner?]

And it's not Christmas or whatever, it's Snoggletog.

[video]

[notchinese]

Is that how you trained dragons back home?

Well, its Christmas here and back home for me. What's Snoggletog?

[video]

[snotfaced]

Only if they were being really stubborn.

[Time to give Yumi an exasperated look.]

You know, Snoggletog. Snow, hanging up shields, decorating houses, gifts from Odin? Second best winterish activity Berk's got.

[video]

[notchinese]

[So basically Christmas. Not too different than what she's used to really.]

What's the first?

[video]

[snotfaced]

The Thawfest Games! [Which is kind of spring-y, what with the thaw, and all... But Snotlout looks excited anyway.] I have a ton of shiny medals because I never lose. Us Jorgensons always win.

[Or else.]

[video]

[notchinese]

Always?

Are you so sure about that?

[She's not calling you a liar Snot, but she's curious if there was some story behind it or something.]

[video]

[snotfaced]

[Snotlout's confidence doesn't falter.]

Of course! We're the best, after all. Last time, someone managed to not lose so badly, but I still crushed him. Snotlout! Snotlout! Oy, oy, oy!

[That...sure was a cheer.]

[topoftheclass]

I'd say that alone makes me glad to be on the second floor, but considering those can fly um I'd say you may have to get creative in order to make it go away.

[There's a beat of silence before Keiko's mildly curious/disturbed expression shifts to a smile.]

Merry Christmas.

[notchinese]

Have an idea what do these kind of pokemon like to eat?

[She's actually planning the food lure trick. That's creative, right?]

video

[topoftheclass]

Sadly I'm not. You could try carrots or lettuce. I think I remember reading somewhere that deer liked that stuff.

[She shrugs. Sorry she isn't more help.]

video

[notchinese]

[It's ok, Keiko.]

I'll look around for anything like that. If anything, I might try using the Poketreats or something.

Have you encountered any on your end?

video

[topoftheclass]

Those would probably work pretty well. I don't think I've ever come across a pokémon that didn't like them.

Yeah. I caught one with a bunch of my friends. It was sort of a thing for like half and hour. It seems like they're everywhere or something.

video

[notchinese]

Looks like Santa needs to keep better track of them.

Re: video

[topoftheclass]

I didn't realize Santa had this many reindeer. I thought it was only eight?

[sitdownbecider]

Looks mighty rare t'me, why don't you catch it?

[notchinese]

[She...hasn't actually thought of that.]

That sounds like a pretty good idea.

You haven't seen a pokemon like this before?

sob super late...

[ghostpepper]

I know the noses look weird and all, but it looks like the other... [give her sec while she checks her Pokedex for the name] Stantler that have been all over the place. I caught one the other day and it went in without a problem!

[Kushina holds up a Pokeball with a grin. But she'll be in for a surprise when she goes to let it out again...]

its all cool dude

[notchinese]

I wonder why some of them have red noses though. I spoke with someone else earlier and we're thinking it might be radioactivity-related.

[Nope, not overthinking this at all.]

Are you planning on keeping that one? [She's making a pointing gesture, as if pointing to the pokeball itself.]

[ghostpepper]

I have no idea, but it's only the red-nosed ones I've seen flying around. All the others stay on the ground no matter what happens. But yeah, I'll definitely keep it. It'll be useful having something else that can fly, even if it doesn't have wings or anything...

So, what d'you think you'll do with the one outside your window?

[notchinese]

I could punch it in the nose like one of my friends suggested. Or have Creeper do it for me.

[Except she's not that violent of a person....unless provoked.]

Or maybe I'll catch it. Doesn't hurt having a pokemon that could fly like you said.

[ghostpepper]

If you punch it, make sure there's no police around. Creeper or another Pokemon would be alright. [Advice from an Actual Responsible Adult^TM. 8)b]

[notchinese]

[Part of Yumi felt that Kushina's tip was entirely wrong and she couldn't believe what she was saying. Another part just felt she should do it for the thrill of it.]

I'll make sure.

[ghostpepper]

[Pokemon punching Pokemon is a legit thing!!! They do it all the time in battle.]

So uh... What have you been up to lately?
