First Broadcast (Video)

[There is a man on the feed. He is not tall or short, not thin or fat, and he looks to be somewhere in his thirties, with black geometric tattoos sprawling out from the rolled-up sleeves of his sweater.

He also has just about the worst fashion sense of any man you could ever see, I'll tell you that right now.

More important than any of his other physical attributes, however, are the look of senseless fear upon his face that only years spent huddled in needless isolation can bring, as well as the oaken baritone that escapes his lips when he finally manages to speak:]


...hello? Is anyone here? I don't think this is Night Vale, I...where is this place? And why is there a woman in this house who claims to be my mother, when my real mother had always warned me to beware of any possible mirrors? Also, to beware of just about anything, but oh, you know how parents can be. I miss her so much...

Oh. I almost forgot.

[He puts on a face of stony insularity, and, with a piercing-yet-vacant glare, points at the viewer.]

INTERLOPER!

[His expression returns to normal, and he puts his hands back into the pockets of his furry pants.]

That was the traditional Night Vale greeting to all outsiders...although I suppose in this situation, I'm the interloper? It's so hard to tell when your entire life fades away in an instant, leaving behind nothing but fuzzy memories and the sense that none of it was ever real.

Sorry about that.

On to more pressing concerns.

[He gestures towards the Bronzor near him, which currently looks nothing like a Bronzor. Most of this has to do with the paper shopping bag draped over its body, hastily-cut-out eye holes visible but not helping one bit..]

Uh, does anyone have an idea what this...being eats? It didn't want any of my trail mix, and when I tried feeding it a rice ball and some pickles it just stared at the food blankly, before hovering into this house's bathroom in disappointment and concern. I am afraid that I might have offended it enough to bring a terrible curse upon us all...or at least, have it telepathically assault me, it's hard to tell the difference sometimes.

...wait. ...unexpected doppelganger attacks? What's that have to do with your Pokemon?
defyingfrigidity: (I hope you're happy in the end)

[Oh the irony of someone with a mirror phobia talking to someone based off a character from an old fairy tale that involved an evil mirror...]

I... I see. I can understand why you'd be nervous, then. But I assure you, these creatures are our friends. The one you have there wants to help you, not hurt you.
unkinder: (☆ I cannot stand to look in the mirror)

[personal profile] unkinder 2014-11-19 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Alright, so this is one of those kind of people.]

By who were you assaulted, might I ask?

[Disregarding...the rest of that.]
whitehairedprettyboy: (annoyed)

[personal profile] whitehairedprettyboy 2014-11-19 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...Well. That isn't the type of answer you get every day. Valmont can't tell if the man is messing with him or not. He's inclined, however, to think not. As he's well aware, some people are just that strange. ]

All right, look. Whatever issues you have are your own to deal with, but: the moment you get to Goldenrod City, you are going to go to the department store and you are going to buy some decent clothes. This is an order.

[ Valmont you can't actually order around people who don't work for you... ]
whitehairedprettyboy: (continue)

[personal profile] whitehairedprettyboy 2014-11-19 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ That's a very good question. ]

You'll continue to look like an idiot, I suppose.

[personal profile] scizor_sister 2014-11-20 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[She's just going to... kind of stare for a minute. An uncomfortably long time, actually.]

...no.
scizor_sister: Nui completely and utterly losing her shit (angry beyond words)

[personal profile] scizor_sister 2014-11-20 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
No! No no no no no!

[And there's the dam breaking. Did you want a grown woman having a full-on tantrum of a meltdown on your broadcast today, Cecil? Too bad.]

No! That's almost worse than before! Go find something else right this instant! Steal it if you have to!

[It's just- there can NOT be someone who thinks these are actually good choices of clothing.]
corporal: (so you agree??)

[personal profile] corporal 2014-11-20 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Levi definitely spends a good long moment staring, quiet, as he considers exactly what he's just been told. ]

So you're used to weird shit happening. [ It took him a while to get there--stopping himself from asking a grand arsenal of questions. ]

I'm sure it needs to eat, at least. Hell, maybe its draining your life force as we speak. [ levi rly doesn't know enough about pokemon yet oh god ]
ossifragant: (⊗ soon heads will be rolling)

[personal profile] ossifragant 2014-11-21 11:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, it's definitely going to be his new favorite thing to say to people. Just watch.]

To answer your question, I think most Pokemon eat berries. Even the ones that look like they should be eating other things.

[He's not sure he should ask about the paper bag.]
me_first: (static and standing)

[personal profile] me_first 2014-11-21 02:16 pm (UTC)(link)
There are other creatures out there. Most don't... mean you harm specifically, oh no, but they will attack if you come into their territory. Your Pokemon will attack them in turn, defending you from them.
cawsforalarm: (Smug ✧ and drown drown drown drown)

[personal profile] cawsforalarm 2014-11-21 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I guess. Still, if she wanted to pretend to be my mom, she should've at least gotten some fur and claws.

[...Yep.]
foolishwren: Or do you just rip a hole in your chest and let the locusts fly randomly into the keyboard? (do you like... THINK before you type?)

[Video]

[personal profile] foolishwren 2014-11-21 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
It's just your starter, dude.

I'm pretty sure you don't have to worry about any prophecies coming to fruition.

Hell, we already averted one apocalypse last week. Two in the space of fourteen days would be a little ridiculous.
ajustcaws: (to run where the brave dare not go)

[personal profile] ajustcaws 2014-11-22 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
I dunno! I mean, some Pokemon can be pretty scary, but they'll usually be your buddy if you take a little while to get to know 'em. At least, that's the way I've been seeing it!
diehardreaper: ([☼] | They wanna be just like me)

[personal profile] diehardreaper 2014-11-24 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Cecil, eh? Pleasure to meet you all the same, circumstances notwithstanding! Your new friend in the bag's going to be stuck with you, I'm afraid. Best you both get along.

[ There's a small grin though. ]

Is your sort the kind whose name changes often, then?
stitchedupbodyguard: (Huh?)

[personal profile] stitchedupbodyguard 2014-11-26 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
....

[That visibly stumps her for a second.]

...Seems like quite the situation you've got then.
