05 ☣ video/action for route 7
[The feed opens on Buster, glowing. Red looks mildly annoyed, because her marvellous evolution wasn't video-taped. Buster himself is shuffling around, trying to avoid the camera.]
Come on, don't tell me you're getting shy now. I told Nanako she'd get to see.
[Hey, it's a big step in the life of a Bagon! What if his wings are too small? WHAT IF HIS TAIL IS FAT, GUYS. Red says something, probably offensive, which at least gets Buster to stop actively running away. If the bitch can do it, so can he, dammit.
Buster caves and lets the glow settle over him, hunching down as if to pounce. It's clear that under the light the great big cocoon of a shell his body has been hiding in is cracking and peeling, his form doubling, tripling in size—Nero and Red are forced to back up, and finally the wings unfurl, huge red arcs sailing overhead. Nero chuckles, a little breathless, pleased and impressed.
The glow fades, revealing...Buster, bigger, huge, badder, teeth the size of knives, yellow eyes the size of dinner plates and a great big set of horns on either side of his head. And wings. Wings more than big enough to fly on. The remains of his shell are now a hard casing that shields his underside, protecting his belly from threats below. (Also his tail is not fat. In fact, it is muscular and sexy. You know, if you like dragons in that way.)
Buster's first order of business (after checking himself out) is to roar in Red's face. FUCK YOU, BITCH!!!!!!!
Aww yeah, that felt good.]
Hey, not ba—hey!
[The 'gear goes tumbling as Buster then lunges for Nero, snagging his teeth in the young man's jacket and...yanking him up and over the Salamence's broad back. Attack his trainer? More like taking him for a test drive. Nero barely has time to regain his composure before Buster unceremoniously—kind of trips over his own wing okay, you can evolve and look badass but dignity is apparently not included in the package, and—takes off. The last sound is Nero's exhilarated whoop and Red's unhappy snort.
The 'gear lands in the grass and switches off.]

Man, I don't remember the species of the ones I have, half the time, and I've only got three. Forget remembering like three hundred.
[More like five, but let's not get technical...]
[video]
I'm trying to learn as many as I can though, as I'm supposed to be a breeder here.
[video]
Huh? What game?
[video]
[SHE'S A SIMPLE GIRL OKAY, no need for those vidja games. That's Yosuke and Chie's thing.]
[video]
Never heard of any of that stuff before I got here. It's really a game where you're from? You've gotta be kidding me...
[video]
[video]
You a friend of Nanako's?
[video]
I did wonder if it was the same Nanako-chan you were referring to. Yes, I am.
[video]
This wasn't really an issue back home, where he was the local thug that was scary and immoral and avoided at all costs by most of the populace. Children crossed the street to avoid him. Friends weren't really a thing, friends-of-friends even less.
On the other hand, knowing that Nanako has other non-family friends in his age group makes him feel less weird about it.]
Name's Nero.
[video]
Then it's nice to meet you Nero- [She pauses, slightly unsure of his age. He looks a bit older than her though?] -san.
[video]
[What is cultural sensitivity...]
[video]
Are you sure that's alright?
[She was brought up with manners okay?]
[video]
[Nero glances away, made uncomfortable by her discomfort. BEST SOCIAL SKILLS.]
You can do whatever you want, I guess...
[video]
Ah, Nero it is then. [She can tell the whole topic makes it all even more awkward, so might as well go along with what he asked originally.]
