[Post 017] Video/Action for Goldenrod City

[francia]

[There's rather self-satisfied laughter just off-screen as the 'Gear comes on. It reveals two Ninetales, both with their tails facing the camera. The giggling follows the camera as it goes around and reveals one very cross-looking Marianne and... a derp-face Marianne?]

Change back, Martin. I'm trying to show you off!

[The derp-face Ninetales makes a very un-Ninetales sound, and, after a shimmer of mysterious light, a very pink, very pleased-looking Ditto appears!]



[France makes a cooing sound before the 'Gear is turned to face him. He looks so pleased with himself.]

Isn't he adorable? He will be a perfect French gentleman in no time!

[Adorable? Right. France. Right.]

...it's a big blob of goo.... [no, he didn't meant to let you hear that before he puts on a SMILE.]

It--- he looks, great, France! [ :D ;;;; ]

[France is just totally caught up in the moment of his epic triumph.]

Isn't he? He's already so popular with the ladies! Look!

[He shifts the 'Gear to capture Marianne's peeved face and the strangely intrigued expression in Thérèse's eyes as she pokes her paw at a happily trilling Martin.]

[It's nice seeing France happy. Miles' smile turns into a real grin.] They seem to be getting along.

[Staring at the ditto with a mix of...horror and resignation]

[Sparkly SMILE of sparkly!]

Merlin! Look at my newest beautiful one!

_{[OH OH OH it's one of those things that changed! This is only the second time Cooper sees one, so forgive the huge grin and excitement in his eyes.]}

Those creatures really are amazing.

_{[Aaand no, he still never uses exclamation points in his speech. Regardless of the giddy he feels. He's quiet for a second, then raises an eyebrow and adds]}

If the behaviour of the other Dittos I've seen is any indication, you might find yourself with quite a lot of eggs soon. But perhaps that was the idea of getting him.

[Video]

[of-france.livejournal.com]

And so cute!

[France grins so widely that it looks like his jaw might crack if it stretches any further.]

I thought that Thérèse needed a more regular companion. She's been somewhat slow and huffy the past week or so, and I think she's just needing a bit of action.

[He winks playfully.]

[Yuui blinks at the screen, staring quizically at the creature that reminds him of bubble gum stuck to the bottom of a desk, never meant to see the light of day again. . .Or maybe a goop of icing...?]

Ah, France it looks, rather... Intriguing! What is it, if I might ask?

[of-france.livejournal.com]

[France positively beams! He thinks it looks like wet paint, which is a good thing to him.]

It's a Ditto, a Transform pokemon! It can imitate the form of any other pokemon. Did you see what he did with Marianne?

[Marianne hates Martin already.]

[video]

[master-guardian.livejournal.com]

Whoa, he's all jiggly! I kinda wanna poke him and see what happens.

[Anise is absolutely enthralled because OMG WEIRD ANIMALS YEEEEEAAAAH]

[Video]

[of-france.livejournal.com]

[France laughs merrily and pokes Martin playfully to demonstrate. Martin blinks and wiggles a bit.]

That's what he does! He's so adorable!

[video]

[paladinlost]

Do be careful. You might find yourself drowning in eggs... Or with a very charred Ditto.

[Video]

[of-france.livejournal.com]

[France giggles lightly.]

I'm sure Martin has more sense than to let himself get too carried away in the throes of pleasure!

[He does look a little curious.]

What do you mean by charred?

[France is blind to any and all of Marianne's faults.]

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy's looking at the screen in a mix of 'intrigued' and 'mildly horrified'.] There's one that transforms?

[Video]

[of-france.livejournal.com]

[France beams brightly.]

Yes! Dittos appear to have the sole ability to transform. Then they can mimic the moves of the other pokemon.

[Video]

[used-slackoff.livejournal.com]

[Ah! That was the one that one guy told her about. She can't quite recall his name, though.]

Ditto, right? Where'd you get him?

[Video]

[of-france.livejournal.com]

Yes. I caught him just south of Goldenrod. 'Felt like going for a bit of a walk.

video.

[retrusting.livejournal.com]

[Wide, wide eyes.]

He's like a jelly...!

[Video]

[of-france.livejournal.com]

[Cheerful laughter.]

He is! When he isn't transformed, at least. He seems rather solid otherwise.

video.

[reveiller]

[Chuckle.] Why French?

[Video]

[of-france.livejournal.com]

Because, as the Great Nation of France, my pokemon must be the epitome of beauty and love!

[This makes sense in France's head.]

[Video]

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

! It's...It's like a...A magic thing! [Or a Behemoth King. Also it is pink and cute.] I thought for a second you had two of those Ninetails...How do you think it works?

[Video]

[of-france.livejournal.com]

[France laughs merrily.]

Yes, like magic.

[He shrugs.]

I'm trying not to think too much about how its ability works. It breaks all the laws of physics and biology.

[Sorry, France, but you don't get the pretty Chinese male today... You get the Golden Witch instead, who happened to travel to Goldenrod with Romano and is for-now his travel partner!]

[This was one of the persons she was expected to get along with?]

Transforming so easily is something to give praise to, but it lacks ferocity.

[Then again, Romano didn't seem to be thrilled at the idea of staying with this man. No wonder he had wanted her to be by his side. Still, that's what a Witch does for people who respect her.]

[France turns around, giving Beatrice a curious look.]

Well, I'm not intending to have him battle, so his good-temperament is a boon.

Have we met before?
