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.]

I asked around when I first got here. I was just hoping for songbirds, but of course they use it in other ways as well.

Lapras are one of those kinds as well.

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Lapras, huh? Is that what that pokemon is?

[Text]

[ladywithnovoice]

That's right. Someone told me about it when I first came here.

[Text]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

it looks beautiful. It's interesting that it was so drawn to the music.

Are you going to use it for battle?

[Text]

[ladywithnovoice]

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.

[Text]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Hmm.

[As it would seem, this interests Veronica.]

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

[ladywithnovoice]

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.

[Text]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[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.

[Text]

[ladywithnovoice]

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

[Text]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[Roadblocks, huh?]

I hope so, too.

[Text]

[ladywithnovoice]

So what's your name stranger?

[Text]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Veronica.

[Such a conversationalist, Veronica is.]

[Text]

[ladywithnovoice]

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

[Text]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Nice to meet you.

[Text]

[ladywithnovoice]

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

[Text]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Uh, listening.

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

[Text]

[ladywithnovoice]

Have you ever thought about picking it up while you're here?

[Text]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Not really.

[A bit simple, Veronica was. ...Although...]

But, maybe... I don't know

[Text]

[ladywithnovoice]

If you're ever interested in learning, let me know. I'd be happy to help you learn whatever catches your attention.

[Text]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[...Huh.

She doesn't know what to say to this, other than]

Thanks.

[She'll have to think about it.]

[Text]

[ladywithnovoice]

It's no problem. I think we could all use some music that isn't the some background track that plays on repeat here.

[Text]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[...............]

So it's not just me that hears it then.

[Oh, Veronica]

[Text]

[ladywithnovoice]

Nope.

[Text]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

What's with that?

[Text]

[ladywithnovoice]

I don't have any idea. It just seems normal here. I'm not sure if there's anywhere that doesn't have some sort of music playing.
