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?

[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.]

[sitdownbecider]

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

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?

[notchinese]

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

That sounds like a pretty good idea.

You haven't seen a pokemon like this before?

[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.

[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]

[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.]

[video]

[notchinese]

So there was some competition. Not that its bad or anything but it doesn't seem just as exciting if the competition doesn't stir up a fight.

[A beat.]

But still, congrats on that!

[video]

[snotfaced]

[On the one hand, winning was awesome and Snotlout never wanted to stop doing it. On the other...]

Yeah, I guess they did make it pretty boring for me. But I'm used to it! I would try to make things exciting for the audience by seeing how far I could launch the others when they couldn't keep up on the log.

[video]

[notchinese]

[That actually sounds impressive....and dangerous.]

Won't that hurt them though?

[video]

[snotfaced]

They can still walk.

[Vikings aren't exactly concerned about pain...]

[video]

[notchinese]

...

[Time to change the subject.]

So you want to come over and punch this deer in the face for me?

[Whatever consequence you get for punching a Stantler in the face, Snotlout could probably handle, right?]

video

[notchinese]

Looks like Santa needs to keep better track of them.

[video]

[snotfaced]

[Oh, absolutely.]

Sure! [Yes let him rescue you, Yumi, he will be happy to do it.] Where are you?

[video]

[notchinese]

Celadon City, at the Breeding Center.

[Her somewhat smile changed into a frown once she remembered the last she had spoken with the boy.]

Wait, are you still in Pallet Town?

[video]

[snotfaced]

Hey, I've gotten eggs from there!

[...He supposes he should be nicer over the phone in case word of his behavior gets back to Yumi. But there was always something wrong with the orders!]

For now, yeah. Celadon can't be far, right?
