[Post 002] Video/Action Outside New Bark

[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?

_{[... 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?

[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?

_{[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.

[~~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?

_{[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.]}

Name's Heather.

You?

[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.

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.

[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...]

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

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

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.]

_{[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.

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.

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

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

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.

Good.

S'a few days' walk.

Find some fruit or something.

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

[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.

_{[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.

[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?

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

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

Where? Is it only in certain cities? Do they have a "help wanted" sign?

[Economy, oh Pokemon.]

Pretty sure it's everywhere.

.... Except for New Bark Town.

I worked at one of the Centers, back in Cherrygrove.

(I hate this town.)

Do I just ask for a job or is there an application process?

There's some paperwork, I guess, but mostly you just go in and ask. They don't seem too picky. Must be used to migratory workers.

[He nods slowly, taking this all in and storing it for later use.]

They would have to get used to all these people dying and showing up around here.
