pokeboy | [backdated to 24th oops] video

[ When the video turns on in the very early morning, there's only half a face present before it comes up fully onto the screen. The boy is practically beaming at the journal, and there's only a second before-- ]

Ivysaur evolved!

[ Yes. He couldn't keep that excitement in. He's still got a really dumb smile on and he has to remember what he was going to say, a pause there before he continues. ]

If you don't know what an ivysaur is, they're a grass and poison type pokémon! Ivysaur's been with me since she was a bulbasaur and now she's huge! She's big! She's nearly as big as Snorlax is!

[ The camera faces down to a dusty ground, then comes back up. ] I'm going to show you her, okay? [ And then the book flips around, showing a large, blueish-greenish toad-skin looking monster with a flower protruding from her back from the front, standing at 6'10 (for those who can tell). She leans her head to the side, her mouth opening slightly and showing her fangs as she grunts a small sound. She's embarrassed by the fuss, but the yellow rodent at her feet displays her with his arms proudly out towards her. Pika! (Check her out!)

(Also from the background, some might be able to tell that they're at the farm. Why are they at the farm so early? Because.) ]

Isn't she cool? She is! --oh, hey, Snorlax! Stand next to her and show everyone how big she is next to you!

[ The recording swings over to show a very fat panda creature sitting down eating a pile of bread. He continues eating, and as Red begs again ("C'mon, Snooorlax!"), the creature proceeds to noisily shuffle his butt to face the opposite direction. Noopppee. ] Snor! You...!

[ Huff! He faces the screen back to himself finally, making a puffed face but not so seriously. ] Forget about him! Saur's amazing and that's all that matters!

[ And then one last smile! ]

Bye!!!

[She's a bit more than friends, in some ways...]

Oh, actually, we live together. Luminaire and Maggir live with my dog and I.

[ R-Red might be too young to know...! ]

Oh, wow! Then you get to eat good food everyday! [ Not that she couldn't by just going to his restaurant/cafe, but still! ]

Did I ever tell you about dragons in my world? They're really rare! I was trying to catch one before I came here.

[Maybe, it's more a tale of violence and terror than anything. And Helios is family to her.]

You didn't. Are there dragon pokemon, then?

[ Well, Red knows a bit about violence... ]

Yeah. They're meant to be incredibly strong and powerful. I've never met another trainer with one yet. I only know about one, too! They look like snakes to begin with? Blue snakes - kinda cute, actually. [ Heh. ]

But the one I've seen on TV before, it's big and ...orange? And it has wings! That's why hearing Helios has two that could be like them is so amazing!

Huh. Well...that's really different from the ones I know of. In my world there are only four dragons though. But they're more like snakes.

[ He's going to look down at the actual journal page for a while... Saori may or may not hear light scratching noises! ] The one I know is called dratini. Its evolution is like... dragooni? Draggyni?

[ He briefly looks up. ] What are dragons like in your world? Do you mean only four four? Like in the whole world?

[She raises an eyebrow, wondering what he's doing.]

Yes, only four. [She taps her chin, thoughtful.] Maybe five. But I don't actually know. They're all gods too.

All I know is that they're meant to be really rare in our world. [ Or his part of the world. ] Hmm, they're like... okay, um. This is what they look like, sort of.

[ Picture incoming! ]

The left one is the first evolution, then the second one's the last! I dunno if there's one in the middle... and I know they've not really good, but it's been ages since I've seen them! But the left one's blue and they hang out in the water! And I didn't remember how the dragooni's wings look so I kind of guessed??

Well! They're certainly very dragonlike. The one on the left is like the dragons I know at home. But the one on the right is more like Helios' babies.

[ That she thinks they're dragonlike is enough to keep Red happy! ]

Can gods be anything in your world then? Since you're a god and there's dragons as gods!

Well, yes. Though you might not know they were dragons. They're like me...and keep their true shape hidden. They look like people most of the time.

Like shapeshifting? That's gotta be handy. You didn't look like you could fit through doors as Zapdos, after all. It must be worse for dragon gods.

Well, yes. My true self...well, it won't fit in a door.

Edited (wrong icon!) 2014-05-10 15:59 (UTC)

Your true self? [ huuh. ] But aren't you part human? So...

Haha, I was But...you see...I'm not really a human. I just look this way because it's comfortable and convenient, and because I was once so it's what I'm used to. My true self is different. Maybe I'll show you sometime, but not over the journal.

Okay... [ It's a little--odd. Or just different from what he thought, and he answers automatically without thought as he tries to imagine that. He knew she was a god, but he didn't really think that meant she looked differently.

But - it didn't matter really, did it? ]

[ His face brightens up. ]

Okay. [ And this time, he sounds more sure. ]

Hey, are you at your home? Helios said he's going to make the cake there, so we're going to go to him. You can have a slice with us. [ He smiles. ] It can be like a party that way!

[She frowns slightly when he looks confused...but shakes it off when he seems to brighten up. Kids are kids...]

I'm home, yes. And that sounds good. Did he say what kind of cake?

A berry and cheesecake! Have you had a cheesecake before?

Well of course! You're lucky. Helios makes divine cheesecake!

[Was that a god joke? Yes, it was!]

[ Unfortunately, Red isn't that All-Knowing about god-related words. ]

Cool! [ Time to be a kid again about his girl.] I can't wait for you to see Saur in person. She's so much cooler than in the video I bet!
