003 ♖ [video]

[It's fairly late in the evening when N decides to make a broadcast. In a shift from previous messages, he's looking rather chipper, beaming at the screen. He's sitting in the center of a bed (one of those provided to travelers by the Pokemon Center), legs folded. An egg with a dark purple shell sits in his lap, wrapped up in a sort of makeshift nest formed by some of N's clothes.]

Look. [The Xtransceiver is adjusted to better show the egg in his lap. There is a patient silence from N, until the egg makes the smallest movement-- a slight twitch. N's face lights up with wonder.] There! It moved! Did you see?

[The swell of pride in his expression is almost akin to a doting parent's.] It's amazing, really, that there's a Pokemon inside this. I hope I'm caring for it correctly... [All the Pokemon N ever cared for were full-grown; this is his first experience watching over an unhatched one.] Linoone and I have been keeping it warm and watching over it. Oh! And I can hear the Pokemon inside it sometimes too! When it moves. That's good, right?

[And here he's supposed to be the expert of Unova. He pauses as the aforementioned Linoone steps onscreen, with... what appear to be several DVDs in its mouth.]
Ah. Right. Paprika, I found a video store nearby! I... wasn't sure which genres to look for, so I had Linoone pick out some. [Yeah, fool proof plan there, N.] Is that okay? I think he got you a zombie movie. [He picks out one of the DVDs and scrutinizes it.] ... But I do not approve of the portrayal of the Pokemon on the cover. It is... unsettling. [A movie with zombie humans and zombie Pokemon! Linoone hit the jackpot.]


((OoC: Moving Team Socially Awkward Failboat to Striaton, if that's alright with everybody! If it's not and I'm moving too fast or something, please let me know!))

[action] no worries--I only got it once <3

[One look at the back cover is enough to tell her that "Night of the Lost" is not exactly a paragon of quality zombie filmmaking, but she's pretty sure she saw "Diary of the Dead" on the bed, and she's seen that one quite a few times.]

Seems legit.

[This is said humorously, though she's not sure whether or not it'll catch on.]

D'you wanna try and lure Thomas and Dragonite back in for tonight? I'd send 'em a text or something, but I'm pretty sure they don't have those in other-Pokemon-land or ye olde England, y'know?

[Okay, Paprika has a rough idea that Thomas isn't from that far back, but what the hey.]

[action] ah okay good! ;u;

[One day he will compile a list of these terms Paprika uses and just take a day to sit down and define them.

At the suggestion, he grins approvingly.] Yes! Let's do that. [And then he pauses uncertainly.] Oh... I'm not sure if they would even know what movies are either... [He doesn't want either of them getting startled by the idea-- or worse, convinced the images on the screen were real. But maybe he's being paranoid; they'd seen plenty of startling things in this world already. He thinks for a moment.] Which one were you planning on watching?

[action] :>

[That venture is going to take a very long time.]

S'not a big deal--I mean, we could just explain before we start so they don't flip out or whatever.

[Watch all the movies? Watch ALL the movies!]

We're gonna watch 'em all, man! That's why it's called a marathon, 'cause you watch a bunch in a row.

[action]

[the-nth-power.livejournal.com]

Oh! [So that's what marathon meant!] Ah... That will take a long time. [But he still seems intrigued. Can he handle that many hours of film-watching, having never seen a single movie in his entire life? Can he do it?]

Alright. I believe Thomas will end up here when he decides to retire for the day... [His eyes wander off toward the window.] And I can find Dragonite outside. She prefers sleeping out there, you know.

[action] good time management, it is me. I am it.

[Of course he can! What could possibly go wrong? Paprika squints out the window, but no sign of dapper chaps or dragons, at least as far as she can see.]

I guess old dragon-ey habits die hard?
