[Post 011] Video/Action in Violet City

[francia]

[The 'Gear comes on to catch the final moments of a light brown and white egg's existence before the minutely-cracked shell suddenly explodes the glittery light of a hatching -]



[France's squeal is extremely loud and he appears on the screen, obviously handing off the 'Gear to one of his pokemon; by the off-the-ground angle, it's probably either Kai or Drifblim. France is all ready with a towel, but there's no residue like traditional egg hatchings, so he just scoops up the tiny Eevee, cooing at a pitch that can probably only be heard by very young children, bats, and small dogs. The Eevee seems to automatically adore France, yipping and barking happily in response to his voice.]

[It takes a minute or five, but France eventually remembers that the 'Gear is on. France turns back to it, showing off his newest pokemon quite proudly.]

I've decided to name her Thérèse. She and Marianne--yes, Marianne, you can come over here now.



[And, instead of the Vulpix most people are probably used to seeing either following France faithfully or attacking wild pokemon that dare to come within her jumping range, a sleek and regal-looking Ninetales makes her way onto the screen to examine this... new addition. She seems rather torn on whether or not Thérèse is a good thing or not. France, as usual, is totally oblivious, and the feed closes off with Thérèse and Marianne staring at each other intently.]



[Private Text to Cecil]

Thank you so much for the Fire Stone! It worked it's magic on Marianne and made her even more beautiful than before! ♥

[Cute pokemon in sight!] It is very cute, aru~~

[His smile wavers a bit when he sees the new Marianne.] Wow. [Nervous laughter.] She's much bigger now, isn't she...

[Video]

[France is totally on top of the world right now! He's so happy, it looks like that smile might break his face.]

She's absolutely lovely!

[He nods, totally missing China's totally logical nervousness.]

And even more beautiful than before!

[Video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Yes, haha... Li evolved about a month ago and he's also become very elegant and beautiful, aru. He's still the same happy pokemon, though.

[He looks at Marianne again and thinks about the nine-tailed fox demons in Japan's legends.]

Is that an Eevee, France?

[Miles remembers seeing Eevees in the game his friends played back home -- and he never admitted back then but he adored those things to death and so France gets Miles staring at Thérèse with a look of *A*

.....course, you'll have to excuse the kid's terrible appearance as he looks quite.... sick, with a face flushed with fever and a bruise on his head and his hands in wrappings and.... yeah. France, just. yeah.]

[Video 1:2]

[France lifts the little Eevee up close to the camera so that Miles can have a better view of the adorable pokemon.]

Yes, she's an Eevee!

[Video 2:2]

[of-france.livejournal.com]

[He peers close, unintentionally crowding the screen with an Eevee face and a France face, and frowns, concerned.]

Are you sick?

[Video]

[miniworth]

She looks great. [He looks pretty fascinated by the adorable kit, and oh man oh man he really loves Eevees fdjfh -- and at France's question he just looks sheepish.]

I-- yes, I am... Some things happened..

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

Heh, you seem to attract foxes, France.

Happy new year.

[Video]

[of-france.livejournal.com]

[France shrugs lightly, winking.]

What can I say? I'm a foxy guy.

Happy New Year to you, too! Are you doing anything special?

[Video]

[exeggutorhead]

[That gets a small laugh out of him.] Well I won't argue with that~

Anyway, Greed's finally gotten his ass to Goldenrod, and from the sound of it he'll be dragging me along with him to do something. [He shrugs and looks annoyed at the thought, but secretly he doesn't mind too much.]

[video, because Cecil sucks at technology]

[paladinlost]

You're welcome. She truly became a lovely lady. And Thérèse is also adorable. She must have been a wonderful surprise.

[Video] That's fine 'cause France loves to see Cecil any day 83

[of-france.livejournal.com]

[France positively beams, sitting down with the 'Gear so it can capture himself, Marianne, and Thérèse.]

I really can't thank you enough. Are you going to be in Goldenrod for a while yet? I'm probably going to head out in several days, and I would like to thank you in person.

[pullswhales.livejournal.com]

That's Marianne?! She's so pretty!

[Video]

[of-france.livejournal.com]

[France nods, shifting the 'Gear so it can better focus on the haughty loveliness of Marianne.]

Thank you! She only just evolved into a Ninetales, but she is such a beauty I couldn't resist showing her off.

[video]

[itssakotis.livejournal.com]

Oh, they're adorable.

...Do they get along?

[Video]

[of-france.livejournal.com]

[France laughs merrily.]

I'm hoping they will. Marianne has a powerful personality and tends to run all over most people, but Thérèse seems to have a spark in her eyes even this early in life.

{Video}

{Tired and exhausted and injured she may be, but Nanao still manages to muster a smile for the excited Nation.}

She's beautiful, France. Congratulations are in order, too, for your... Ninetails, is it?

{Her voice is raspy, and her arms are wrapped in bandages from the attack of the Sentrets, but she seems to be in good spirits. Waving chopsticks at the camera;}

I received your food parcel; the duck is divine, and Kiyone is much enjoying the fruit.

[Video 1:2]

[of-france.livejournal.com]

[France beams and nods.]

Thank you so much, and, yes, Marianne is now a Ninetales!

[Video 2:2]

[of-france.livejournal.com]

[His face falls slightly when he notices that she doesn't seem to be in top shape.]

I'm glad that it got to you in time and you're enjoying it. Are you alright? You look like you've had a rough time.

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

[Vanille's squeal can rival France's. XD] How did you get such cute Pokemon, huh? Lucky~ I never would have thought someone would get an Eevee!

[Video]

[of-france.livejournal.com]

[France beams and cuddles Thérèse gently.]

I don't know. Maybe God hasn't abandoned me after all. She is adorable, isn't she?

[Action]

[dragonspeak]

[Enters the room, carrying his own newly hatched Pokemon]

Your egg finally hatched?

[Action]

[of-france.livejournal.com]

[France looks over, grinning happily as he shows Thérèse off in his arms. Marianne comes over, sticking possessively close to France, whose attention has now been caught by Merlin's Riolu.]

Yes, it did. Is that the pokemon that came from yours? It's adorable!

[video]

[greedismyname.livejournal.com]

[Greed doesn't appear on screen immediately, since the moment Marianne appears on screen, Lucky butts his head in the way and the look on the dog pokemon's face is nothing short of TOTALLY SMITTEN. ] Aw dammit Lucky, c'mon, quit shovin' in on my calls! [Lucky whines just a little but scooches so that Greed can be seen again. He grins, the light from the slot machines playing off his face.] They look great, blondie. Say, how closer 'r you t' Goldenrod now?

[Video]

[of-france.livejournal.com]

[Marianne glances over and seems to squint slightly. Does she know that pokemon...? Oh, yeah, the one with the smoke figures...]

[France picks up the 'Gear, sitting down with it on the ground of Route 36.]

Thank you, Greed. I'm still on Route 36, only a day out. I think this shortcut is supposed to take about five to seven days?
