Casefile 003A - Video; Sprout Tower

[used_fireblast]

[The video opens on the interior of Sprout Tower. Lara the Smoochum is padding around the bare wooden floor staring up at something offscreen. After a moment, a Hoppip slowly drifts downwards into view.]

Smoo!

[Lara takes a jump and bops the underside of the Hoppip, sending it floating back off the top of the screen.]

Piiiiii~
Chum!

[This repeats a few times, Lara playing beachball with the Hoppip. The camera turns around to show Harry sitting against a wall, a grey and orange egg tucked into his black leather duster.]

I can't tell if they're both having fun, or if Campbell's just to oblivious to care.

[ Maria stares at the camera for a long moment - almost as if she's thinking about it deeply for that time. ]

... Uu-. Maria thinks it looks like they're having fun.

Seems like it should hurt. Maybe I'm just projecting.

But he doesn't really look sad, right..?

I've only had him for a week or so. I'm not sure I'm completely qualified to read the expressions of a vegetable yet.

[uuing]

... Uu-.. [ She puffs her cheeks up a little. ]

It's not a vegetable! It's your Pokémon friend!

[video]

[partyofwin.livejournal.com]

It certainly looks fun!

Re: [video]

[used-fireblast.livejournal.com]

...Yeah okay, it kind of does.

Can't tell if Lara's just being gentle, or if Campbell's kind of numb or whatever. ...She hits hard for something so small.

[video]

[partyofwin.livejournal.com]

Oooh, really? How hard does she hit?

Re: [video]

[used-fireblast.livejournal.com]

Pretty hard.

[Harry rubs the back of his head for a minute, remembering exactly how hard Lara can hit.]

...the first time I got here, we sort of disagreed on the whole Pokemon battle thing.

[video]

[partyofwin.livejournal.com]

And she hit you?

[That's horrible!]

[justicereigns]

From what I remember of my hoppip, they just like floating around. My Gyardos used to do that with mine. Scared the hell out of me the first time.

[Since Hoppip is like teeny tiny and Gyarados... not so much.]

[video?]

[used-fireblast.livejournal.com]

Ah, good.

I was a bit worried I'd gotten stuck with a masochist tomato. That'd be about my luck.

[video -- yes, sorry I tend to forget]

[justicereigns]

Some of them are pretty strange, but not that badly.

Like I said, I think hoppips just like floating around.

Re: [video -- yes, sorry I tend to forget]

[used-fireblast.livejournal.com]

I'd question how it's able to float at all, but that way lies madness.

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

Huh. One of those fish last time and a floating plant this time. Do you just attract useless Pokemon or something?

Re: [video]

[used-fireblast.livejournal.com]

It's not totally useless. ...He makes an excellent balloon, for one.

[And now Harry has the vague urge to go catch another derpy fish, just to be contrary.]

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

Maybe you'll get really lucky and it will turn into a stupid plant balloon that shoots lasers.

Re: [video]

[used-fireblast.livejournal.com]

Given the way this place works, you really think that'd be surprising?

[teamonia.livejournal.com]

Perhaps that's their way of playing. It certainly seems like they are enjoying themselves.

Re: video;

[used-fireblast.livejournal.com]

Well, Lara's hitting something even if it's not terribly hard. So I know at least SHE'S enjoying herself.

video;

[teamonia.livejournal.com]

I imagine if your hoppip minded terribly, she'd stick to something high and refuse to be played with.

Re: video;

[used-fireblast.livejournal.com]

Oh, probably. Not sure that'd deter Lara. She's- well, maybe not resourceful, exactly, but she's stubborn.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Those floaty plant things always did seem kinda braindead.

Re: [Video]

[used-fireblast.livejournal.com]

Least it's more active than those fish-things.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Oh god, those things?

Yeah, I had one of those once...

I wouldn't stop staring at me and it freaked me out, so I gave it away.
