[Post 002] Video/Action Outside New Bark

[francia]

[The video comes on revealing a very, very pleased France. Yes, he's the kind of pleased that normally is associated with bedroom activities and winning a war. Marianne sits in the background, looking equally as pleased.]

We will eat well tonight.

[He holds up a number of KO'd Rattata and Pidgey by their tails and feet and beams with happy satisfaction at the screen.]

Are these better roasted or braised?

[Video p-poor France]

[foolishwren]

You mean aside from everything?

[Video] asdfjkl; your icon is so evil *A*

[of-france.livejournal.com]

I really am in Hell.

[He promptly bursts into tears and wails.]

[Video] THAT'S ONE OF HER TROLLFACES~

[foolishwren]

Well, I done told you so!

[Video] asdfjkl; wryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[of-france.livejournal.com]

[He twitches before his face morphs into... something not entirely sane.]

You.

This is your fault.

[Video] B3 DEAL W/ IT

[foolishwren]

_{[WHOA. Somebody took their psycho pills today! ... Good thing Heather is dozens of miles away!]}

Me? I'm just the messenger!

[Video] щ(ﾟДﾟщ)(屮ﾟДﾟ)屮

[France looks... really strange. It's probably because there's just something really off about his smile.]

You must be the embodiment of my sins that I must eliminate. Your death will free me!

[Video]

[foolishwren]

_{[... WELL SOMETHING ABOUT THAT WAS JUST DOWNRIGHT UNSETTLIN'.]}

Uh... _{[Definitely feeling glad she's so far away. The last thing she needs is a psychotic blond Frenchman who actually looks so much like a serial killer from her canon (who she hasn't met though) that there are over 9000 joke fanarts about it, not even kidding chasing her around with a chainsaw. Though she supposes it would be appropriate.... 'Tis the season, after all.]}

Can't we be reasonable about this?

[Video]

[of-france.livejournal.com]

[He stares at her intensely.]

Your death will free me.

[Oh, yes, that perfect resemblance to that guy who shares a bad version of his hair! Excellent~ He twitches on the other end of the screen.]

What is there to be reasonable about in Hell?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

_{[Walter Sullivan is clearly France's twin who is a hobo.]}

... You know, you're actually not the first person who's said either of those things to me.

[Video]

[of-france.livejournal.com]

[Exactly. Who would ever doubt this?! France blinks and gazes at the screen looking rather lost and not unlike a kicked puppy.]

...Who are you?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

<sub>[Nobody who is of sound mind.]

[Heather blinks, herself. .... <8I SUDDEN MEMORY LOSS? ... Maybe now would be a good time to say that she's somebody OTHER than the devil.]</sub>

Name's Heather.

You?

[Video]

[of-france.livejournal.com]

[It's the stress, the weather, and being isolated from his land and people; it's all starting to take its toll on him. He gazes unhappily at the screen.]

I'm France.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

France, huh.

_{[All these COUNTRY names, wtf is this.]}

Well, France, hate to be the bearer of bad news, but.... _{[She gestures to the KO'd Pokemon again.]} You're probably gonna need to find somethin' else to eat.

[Video]

[of-france.livejournal.com]

[He follows her gesture to stare at the KO'd creatures.]

Oh, but they're just rats and pigeons. Those are perfectly edible.

[He wishes he remembered how he ended up talking to this woman...]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

_{[Short-term memory loss saves the day once again!]}

Yeah, but the locals will go all crazy on your ass.

[Video]

[of-france.livejournal.com]

But why? Don't they ever get hungry for real food?

[Obviously France isn't a vegetarian. He also lacks a certain amount of tact.]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

_{[Broad shrug.]}

There's meat in the stores. But maybe it comes from farmed animals or something. Either way, they're redonk protective of the wildlife.

[Video]

[of-france.livejournal.com]

There aren't any stores to buy necessities in this stupid town.

[If he can help it, France will never come back to New Bark. Never.]

I need something nutritious to feed Canada; he's a child.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

... Oh. Still in New Bark, huh?

... You'd better get a move on if you need real food that bad.

[Video]

[of-france.livejournal.com]

I came back to this place (to the entrance of Hell)for what is rightfully mine.

[He inclines the head. The freckled lady has a point.]

We will be heading to civilization as soon as possible.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Good.

S'a few days' walk.

Find some fruit or something.

... But don't touch the weird-looking berries. Trust me on that one.

[Video]

[of-france.livejournal.com]

[France sighs, glancing at the path off-screen.]

It will take a bit with the boy. Hopefully I can find good protein while we travel; he's growing.

[He grimaces at the reminder.]

I read that part of the manual. Good lord.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

_{[So the guy had a kid with him... which... made his weird freakout earlier ALL THE MORE UNSETTLING, but at least he was coherent now?]}

A few days without meat won't kill him.

Anyway, there's plenty of stuff in Cherrygrove if you have the money for it.

[Video]

[of-france.livejournal.com]

[He lost Canada the first time for a number of reasons. And then there was the Revolution and the Reign of Terror and so on and so forth...]

I don't want him to sustain off nuts and berries... I wonder if mushrooms are edible in this world. I suppose I'll just have to watch what the animals are eating.

[He glances at his pack off-screen.]

There is some money, but I don't know the economy here. Is there a way to make money that doesn't involve unsavory activities?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

There's work around. It's boring, but it's not awful.

Usually gives you more than enough t'live off of.
