9th Animal Η Video/Action for Saffron Σ

[Well, someone is out of their element.

When Reid turns on his communicator, he's sitting outside the little place on the outskirts of Saffron that he rented with Mio. He's sitting on the grass with a bag (full of things he bought for his Pokemon) tossed to the side, and he's besides a clutch of three multicolored eggs--nestled among those eggs is a Ponyta without any kind of flame, struggling to stand up.]


Uh, hi? I'm, uh--I mean, for those of you who don't know me, I'm Spencer. Dr. Spencer Reid.

[Reid stands up and hesitantly approaches the Ponyta. Gingerly, as if it's a live bomb, he rests his hands on its chest and stomach, trying to help it stand.] I've never really handled horses before? If--I mean, if there's anyone in the general area of Saffron who knows something about it, then I'd really--

[FOOM OH CHRIST THERE'S FIRE

Reid jumps back with a yelp when a bright mane and tail bursts into life, flaring blue and proud and looking terrifying despite the horse stumbling back to its knees without Reid's support. It all looks very impressive and Reid is just going to AVOID TOUCHING THE FIRE KTHX.



And then one of the eggs besides the flaming pony, a purple egg with a scary face, starts to hatch. And in the corner of the screen, a blue lavender-tipped tentacle reaches over and grabs Reid's bag, dragging it away.

Reid is busy eyeing the flaming pony warily, so he's caught completely by surprise when his scary purple egg hatches and OH GOD IT'S A DINOSAUR THAT IS SO COOL BUT DAMN THOSE ARE BIG TEETH

A baby Aerodactyl, at least the size of Reid (that's one big baby), spreads its wings beside the kneeling Ponyta, sending pieces of egg everywhere, before starting to beat its wings and letting out a terrifying shriek. And right now, it's eyeing Reid like a snack.

Reid instinctively backs up, and then the screen is suddenly covered with a white glow from all the various Pokemon that just found the evolution stones Reid had in his bag.

The Ponyta lets out an angry whinny when the dinosaur whacks it with a furiously beating wing. A Mismagius and a Chandelure fly over them, howling and chattering, and the Aerodactyl lunges for Reid, only to be knocked out of the way by a Ninetales. The baby dinosaur snaps at the fox, trying to go for the throat, but it's still too weak to withstand Elle. Reid stumbles over, fumbling with his belt of balls, when he's hit in the head by a soaring Musharna. He stumbles again, holding his head, and behind him, the Mismagius and the Chandelure are taking turns swooping in and pinching the sides of the baby Ponyta. The Ponyta neighs furiously, trying to get on its legs so it can kick one of the giggling bastards, but it's still too weak and its trainer is too busy being dizzy and trying to get the homicidal dinosaur under control to notice the torment.

Why did Reid think getting a goddamn menagerie was a good idea?]

[Oh. Oh. Oh god.

Everything all at once oh my god djkalgjkk and then evolutions on top of that?!

Oh. Wow, um.. I'm afraid I can't help you with horses, and I don't want to bother you while you sort all that out, [She feels bad about all that chaos, so she'll just leave a message!] but my name is Jane! I was told you do detective work, and while I'm no professional by any means, I'd like to say I would be interested in helping you with any ideas you've had regarding arrivals and departures, along with the other.. hundreds of mysteries about this world in general.

Uh, please feel free to call back once you've gotten your Pokemon taken care of, goodness.

[Twilight was about to give an actual response to his question-]

Well, I'd like to say I count as an expert here, but honestly, I know about as much about Ponytas as your average human would know about an ape or monkey-

[Buuuuut she's cut off as the reset of the Pokemon begin to hatch and evolve. The more sudden flashes of white she sees, the wider her eyes get and the more worried her expression becomes.]

Dear Celestia... Spencer, are you going to be alright?

[Misaki could only stare at the beauty of the newborn Ponyta's blue flames, ignoring Reid's initial question. Can Akatsuki turn blue like that? Just give her a minute or maybe an hour.]
friendyousohard: (Time to get serious.)

[There are several winces as she watches Spencer try to deal with the new Aerodactyl, and a sigh of relief when Yang intervenes, followed by a stern glower when she notices what's going on with the newborn foal.]

Ugh, I wish Fluttershy wasn't sick... Usually, we have our parents to help us learn. Foals just follow along and do what they do. That's clearly not a possibility here, so... [She cuts off with a pause as she tries to think of ways around the issue.]

What about the gear's replay function? If it sees what it thinks is an older pony walking, it should try and emulate that.
brokenmemories: (omg)

[......Shit, what's going on here - How did all of these evolutions happen at once - How is no one dead yet - That is a huge-ass baby, oh my god - Where the hell is Mio when he needs help - Are people just ignoring this, oh my god.]

[Somehow, Misaki was able to keep a straight face (kind of) as those thoughts ran through her mind.]

Um...Mr. Reid, if you're still able to fully function by the time you get this video, I have some information regarding Ponyta that may help you.

I don't know of a similar place in Johto but I hear there's a farm near Ecruteak that may assist you with your newborn horse. Of course, its all the way in Johto so I don't know if you're willing to travel that far.

...I hope you aren't eaten by your pokemon by then.

They do seem to be remarkably common... I had no idea humans were so enamored with my- With ponies.

[She grimaces and folds her arms.] Apparently she bought some of those poisoned cookies and somehow managed to miss all the messages about them. I didn't know she had them until today, or I'd have gotten rid of them along time ago. I had Pyrolepi burn them.

[The bandaids are enough of a concern to have her making a worried expression.] No, it's just that detective stories were always something I enjoyed, and my friends sometimes tease me about my gumshoe antics of always trying to figure things out.

I.. well, I can understand if you wouldn't want a kid bungled in the business, but I was thinking of taking some simple network wide polls to gather information for finding a pattern in arrivals or departures.
friendyousohard: (Neat.)

[personal profile] friendyousohard 2013-01-02 08:05 am (UTC)(link)
Wow. [That's all she can say at first. Everything from tools to mounts to gods?] Humans really have a wide variety of looking at the same exact thing. Not that ponies don't have their own views on things as well, but that's such a wide range... it could be because we have one culture rather than several.

[She'd keep musing on the subject, but that sudden rock to Spencer's head jolts her out of it. She slams her hands down on the table her gear's resting on.]

Hey! Knock it off! [Not that they're likely to listen to her...]

[[Oh...oh dear. This is one of those times where Rose wishes her Alakazam's Teleport was useful for more than getting out of caves. She frowns, watching the fiasco, unsure of how exactly to assist from where she is.

....She's just going to hope Reid can get everything under control and consider perhaps sending him a Pokemon as a gift next time. Something that could perhaps help corral all of his...er.

Children.]]


Ah...I'm not in Saffron, but I know a thing or two about horses. In fact, I own a Rapidash, so I would be more than happy to assist how I can... I've noticed that yours also bears blue flames rather than red...If you'd be willing, I'd like to perhaps study it a little. Well...when I say I, I actually mean we, seeing as it would be hard for me to study it on my own when we're in separate towns like this.

Um. I might be able to help with baby Pokemon in general, if you feel you need any assistance. Feel free to get back to me when you're able, I'm in no rush.

[[And you will obviously need a little recoup time.]]

[... Yeah. Hope gets that problem too. Like. All the time. Especially with babies which he always seems to be getting a lot of.]

You'll want to get your Aerodactyl under control first, or at least keep the rest of your Pokémon away from it.

Hahaha, dude you're just getting an explosion of crazy over there. Like Rose said I can help you out with pony troubles. I worked with one as my starter. First thing you need to do is get your dino under control first.

Or it will make said horse nervous. [Then white flashes create a bit of a blinding experience he weathers because of his shades. On his end, he makes a whistling sound calling Lady B over to him and pets her nose. Snoop the dragon nudges against his side and he gives another nose scratch to the dragon.]

Actually holy shit man, get the whole crew under control.

[She wants to help. Really, she does!

But Mio has the video on for only a few seconds before she's completely succumbed to helpless laughter. She lays her head on the table, shoulders shaking silently.

SORRY REID BUT IT JUST HIT HER HOW CRAZY BOTH THEIR LIVES HAVE BECOME. THIS MIGHT BE SOME MIND OF PEYCHOTIC BREAK.

Or she just really can't handle you right now, so laughter's the way to go.

[She can't help the wide smile spreading on her face, and nods rapidly with the request.] That wouldn't be a problem at all! Thank you for letting me get involved, Mr. Reid, I'll get on spreading that survey about as soon as possible.
