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.]

video; she is the delight of his team

[...YES! She has a person! It's a nice person.

...wait.

No.

She had a person.

Yes!

But then she didn't.

No!

But now she has a new person!

Yes!

But it's not the same person.

No!

Wow, this is some pretty heavy thought for a Quagsire. Look at the furrowed brow, the intense look of concentration on her slightly-less-smiling face.]


...

[Aaaaaand then she proceeds to fall over.]

[Fortunately, he doesn't have long to wait before Yagyuu appears himself, wondering why his Gear is lying on the ground (so that's where it went—) and his Quagsire is flopped next to it. He picks both up and frowns, brow furrowing slightly when he realizes the camera is on.]

I'm sorry, hello?
usedlaserbeam: (STAGE Φ just the usual interruptions)

Ah, Bagel introduced herself, did she? I almost feel as though I should reward such a momentous feat.

Quaaaaaaaaaaaag.

I didn't name her.

[As though he would ever go with something as unpretentious as Bagel. He would at least insist upon Croissant or possibly Baguette.]

I inherited her.
usedlaserbeam: (UNIMPRESSED Φ she's like so whatever)

[It's a good thing he hears that on pretty much a daily basis, courtesy of at least one if not many of his teammates, so it doesn't faze him nearly as much as it otherwise might. I-G-N-O-R-E, as they say.]

I'm told she's considerably more competent in battle than this. Though it almost seems unfair, somehow, to send her into one, on the off-chance that I might be wrong.

Like, for example, making sure she's facing the appropriate way before she launches her attacks.

Quaaaaaag.

I presume she undergoes some sort of miraculous transformation the moment battle is underway and becomes a precision battling machine against which no foe can stand.

[The irony is, he's being sarcastic, and yet this is pretty much exactly what happens. Not that he knows that.]

Still. There's no harm in looking after one more.

[He's doing a quick mental count.]

Six regulars, six second-stringers, six of Lady's progeny, and seven inheritances. Twenty-five in all.

Crowded, but effective. The regulars are the only ones that battle, generally, though the second-string is trained to substitute under special circumstances if need be. By and large, though, most of them are breeding stock. Theoretically.
