Function (4) - Text/Video

Some Pokemon can be really hard to find, can't they? I spent all day yesterday hoping that one in particular would let me find them, but it's harder than it looks.

I guess they can't all be eager.

Since I've been performing to an empty set for so long, maybe I'll let this performance be a bit more public.

Take 53.

[The post suddenly changes to video as Red sets it up against her backpack. Anyone looking past her might be able to recognize the dim layout of Union Cave at one of the many pools about. This one seems to be one of the largest, water disappearing into the darkness ahead past the little camp Red has set up.]

[There's a Chatot perched on her should as she goes to sit by the water's edge. After a few moments, some humming starts to echo throughout the cavern. It's a duet, the Chatot seeming to 'hum' along with.]

[Off in the darkness, something seems to shift it and makes the water ripple towards the shoreline.]

[Red's reply might come a bit late.]

Most seem to like doing so, so I suppose I'll see if this one is the same.

Ideally, I'd like to practice more music with them.

[quickattackjack]

Just be ready for a fire pokemon if you haven't trained one before. I've lost so many curtains.

[ladywithnovoice]

Don't worry. I have a Growlithe and an Arcanine. I've picked up on the whole fire thing.

Hmm.

[As it would seem, this interests Veronica.]

it'd be interesting to listen to a Lapras singing that song you were playing.

[quickattackjack]

Oh, good! There isn't anything else you really need to know. You've taken care of one fire-breathing dog you've taken care of them all.

If everything goes well, maybe I'll have another performance on the network with a few more Pokemon.

I'd like to have my Chatot know the right words, but that might be a little tricky.

[ladywithnovoice]

It's all about having a fire extinguisher on hand, right?

[berkthorn]

HE SAYS
HE DOES NOT
BUT EVERYONE ELSE
SAYS HE DOES
SO
EVE DOES NOT KNOW

CLAIR
IS
. . .





BLUE DRAGON LADY

[She'd like that, actually. But, being who she was, Veronica wasn't going to just say that.]

Sounds like it will be easy for you.

[quickattackjack]

Absolutely!

[ladywithnovoice]

Blue dragon lady?

[berkthorn]

YES
THAT IS CORRECT

[And then, after a short pause:]

EVE THINKS
SHE DOES NOT
REALLY KNOW
ABOUT BLUE DRAGON LADY CLAIR
EXCEPT
SHE IS
A LITTLE SCARY ?

. . .

SHE LIKES DRAGONS

[ladywithnovoice]

I wish. There's a few roadblocks... but hopefully I'll figure something out.

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[Roadblocks, huh?]

I hope so, too.

[ladywithnovoice]

Does your daddy like dragons too?

[Text]

[ladywithnovoice]

So what's your name stranger?

[berkthorn]

YES !
THAT IS WHY HE
LOVES
BIG SIS ADDER
SO MUCH !

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Veronica.

[Such a conversationalist, Veronica is.]

[Text]

[ladywithnovoice]

Nice to meet you, Veronice. I'm Red.

[ladywithnovoice]

Has your daddy tried to talk with Clair about dragons? Maybe a shared interest could help them get closer.

[berkthorn]

YES !
BUT THAT WAS
A LONG TIME AGO

EVE THINKS
SHE WILL TELL HIM !

[It isn't long before Red will get a text not only from Eve, but also from a different account -- this one belonging to Hiccup himself.]

DADDY DID NOT LIKE
THE SUGGESTION

OOPS !
HEE HEE

Thanks for the tip, but it's been a long time since I thought about Clair like that. I don't think my girlfriend would approve, either.

Nice to meet you.

[ladywithnovoice]

Do you do music yourself? Or is it just as a listening interest?

[ladywithnovoice]

Oops! Heh.

Well, that's good to hear. Does your girlfriend like dragons too, then?

[Text]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Uh, listening.

I never had a lot of time for music back home.
