[Post 039] Video/Action for Saffron City and Route 7 [Backdated to 30th of May]

[francia]

[The feed opens up to the outskirts of Saffron City just before Route 7 sometime in the mid-afternoon. It's a picturesque scene: green, summer-lush trees, well-combed grass, and a herd of multi-seasonal Deerling dotting the scope of the camera. The focus of the shot shifts after a couple of seconds to show one autumn-form Deerling in particular that is eating out of the palm of France's hand.]

[In the background, however, unnoticed for the moment by France, there is dust rising, and those watching the 'Gear might pick up the beginnings of static noise as a number of stampeding Blitzles careen towards France's back.]

[France grins at the 'Gear, voice cheerful and boastful although increasingly distorted by the static noise.]

This is Bénézet, the newest addition to my team! Isn't he a lovely and unique specimen among these cre...

[At this point, the feed's audio is far too distorted to be understandable. A moment passes where France continues speaking inaudibly before France finally notices something's up. He looks away from the 'Gear, which subsequently shifts the focus off-center to give a view of France's shoulder, the sky, and a rising cloud of dust before there's a blare of static and the feed abruptly cuts out.]

They're not! They more than make up for not being the size of bulls with quantity!

[France is having a hard time remembering why he's friemenies with this guy and why they aren't just enemies. Oh, yeah, Envy. The things France does for love.]

You know, they still don't quite cut it in comparison. To bulls. In quantity.

_{[Similar thing going through Tuli's head all the time, France, you're not alone in this. But right now he's finding it hella entertaining to be frenemies.]}

[France scowls as mightily as he has ever scowled.]

It might not be the running of the bulls, but they're still electrified !

[greatbigrock]

And did they fry you?

_{[Cause you look pretty damn fine to him. Not even bothered, man.]}

[francia]

No.

[Edging towards sullen.]

They could have.

[greatbigrock]

But they didn't, so what are you whining for?

_{[Oh man it's way too delightful to push at this guy. No wonder they have a hard time with each other.]}

[francia]

I am not whining! I'm stating one of the highly possible outcomes to a less than optimal situation!

[France, just stop before the hole gets deeper.]
