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.

It certainly looks fun!

...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.

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!]

Re: [video]

I may have implied that I didn't think she was capable of fighting.

[Implied, said repeatedly, po-tay-to, po-tah-to.]

She decided to debate it in the only common language available.

[Pinkie isn't sure whether she should laugh or not! So instead her lips just twitch as she tries not to.]

I guess that works!

Re: [video]

We reached an agreement, yeah. I started actually training her, she stopped being so gung-ho.

...Except for the time she tried to bum rush an entire flock of birds, anyway. Turned into a re-enactment of Hitchcock's "The Birds".

What's that? Is it a book?

Re: [video]

[used-fireblast.livejournal.com]

It's a famous movie where I come from. They have those in Ponyville?

Saw it once at this old drive-in theater. Couldn't look at a seagull without getting twitchy for weeks.

What's a movie?

[Sounds cow-related! What would that have to do with birds?]

Re: [video]

[used-fireblast.livejournal.com]

A movie is a process in which people shut off higher brain functions for a couple hours and watch pretty pictures and special effects.

[At least half of his conversations with this girl are going to be explaining things, aren't they.]

...It's sort of like a play, I guess.

[video]

[partyofwin.livejournal.com]

Oooooh. Plays are great!

[Though some of them seem like they could be kind of boring... Yeah, she's only in it for the excitement.]
