002. [Video/Action for Goldenrod City]

[Well, it seems that Tsukiyama has finally left whatever hellhole he's buried himself in for the last couple of weeks; he hasn't been out nearly as much as he'd normally like – really, he hasn't been out at all unless it's been absolutely necessary – but it seems that today he's decided that if he's going to bury himself in several layers of escapist fantasy, he might as well do it outside rather than behind the locked doors of a hotel room.

...That, and he's run out of reading material.

The feed from Tsukiyama's device today opens with a slow pan over some of what he's managed to find in his attempt to stave off boredom; after a moment, his voice can be heard over the video.]


I'm finding myself a bit at a loss, really – if nothing else, I'm unsure whether I should be impressed or offended.

[To his credit, he sounds more amused than anything; after a moment he turns the camera around to actually get him in the shot. He seems well enough, if a bit exasperated.]

They seem to have things such as The Metamorphosis and Battle Royale as well, things that don't seem to have changed much just judging by the title, but I'm sure there's some sort of completely hideous difference in there that will make itself known eventually. For now I think I'm just grateful that I haven't found anything like The Black Gogoat's Egg...I'm sure it would be by someone like Takatsuki Sentret, while we're at it.

[Because this place is a travesty like that.]

From what I've seen, the film selection isn't much better... Tell me if you've found anything particularly interesting during your time here, will you? I don't particularly mind if it's a pun-entrenched mess; if anything, I'm a little curious about how badly they've managed to butcher things.

[Granted, he's not entirely sure how this is going to go, given that there's apparently a market for things like Sharpedonado around here and as such he is effectively asking for recommendations from people who find things like that to be high art, but you know what, live a little.]


[ACTION]

[It's a little overcast today but it's not too cold, and as such he can be found sitting in one of the squares near the department store; there's a café nearby that he's come to like, even if it's not Anteiku (because nothing is quite like Anteiku, even if he'd never really frequented the place as much as some it had its charms, he can't deny that), and he's claimed one of the outdoor tables with a book laid nearby and a cup of something that steams in front of him. As usual, he's a little hard to miss – which is really just a polite way of saying that he's still something of an eyesore, but at least it looks like there was an attempt today and the entire ensemble is blessedly argyle-free.

He's not reading the book he's got laid out, though once in a while he looks at it in a way that implies he's tempted to at least see how much of a shitshow it's surely going to be; for now, his time seems to be given to actually taking the time to savor the joy that is pumpkin-spice everything while it lasts (as long as we all take the word "joy" to mean "experience that involves drinking that coffee once in a while like he's not sure if it's poison, only to set it down and look at it funny and be clearly unsure in its general direction...but for some reason he can't stop drinking it once in a while anyway") and...once in a while swatting away a really persistent Klefki that is hovering near his head.

She doesn't seem to mind the swatting; if anything, she's seeming to find it to be a game of some sort, and she keeps coming back and...unlatching, for lack of a better word, for the sake of waving one of the keys she's found in his general direction with the happiest damn noise because NO YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND

SHE FOUND A PRETTY ONE AREN'T YOU PROUD OF HER.

...After a while the implications of that will sink in, however, and...]


...Mirabella...

[Surely she hasn't.]

Mirabella, amore – exactly where have you been getting those...?

[If he has gotten some sort of kleptomaniac keyring he swears to god - ]

I-I actually know some good ones! There's The Litleo King, Hachi: A Growlithe's Tale, Pebble and the Primplup, uh... O-Oh! And there's a bunch my friend and I watch a lot, Bangirazilla! There's a whole bunch of those ones!

[You asked for it, bro.]

They've been around longer than that, I mean... I found the Bangirazilla ones last year around December and nothing like that ever happened before as far as I know.

[Look, at least he's been around long enough to know what kaiju are! Books are totally helpful. And the rental clerks.]

I don't know about movies or books, but from what I have discovered, the games aren't much better.

The Legend of Zorua, Super Makuhita Brothers, and Sonic the Shaymin come to mind.

[Onscreen appears a middle-aged man who has given this some thought.]

Raging Tauros isn't bad. Or Regirocky, Sylvester Starlyon's petty good in it. Got a face like a sack of hammers, but that's part of the charm.
unkinder: (☆ to define me)

That much remains to be seen. I haven't played those titles for myself yet, but I'm sure morbid curiosity will bring me to it eventually. The Legend of Zorua I'm particularly interested in.

[He's going to have to have a talk with someone if Zelda turns up as a shape-shifting fox, honestly.]

There also exist games that seem mostly unchanged, like Tetris and Galaga. Though those you can only change so much, simple as they are.

I caught Machamp Club on television the other night.

[Tsukiyama, please help him.

It's not like he really got the original movie but Edward Norton was replaced with a Pokemon and it was just sort of depressing.]

[Blake perks up a little.] Shit, you've actually heard of the real one. You must be from the real world.

[Immediately he hears a chorus in his head of all the people who always tell him everybody's world is the real one to them. Assholes. He clears it up anyway.] I mean, the planet Earth.

[His brow furrows when he gets called misyur.] What are you, French?

[He says it in a tone similar to, What are you, a three-headed antelope?]
irenicly: (♨ once she's got you in her sight)

[personal profile] irenicly 2014-11-24 08:05 am (UTC)(link)
It didn't really work, you know?

[To be fair, Banjou found the movie entirely incomprehensible before, but turning the main character into a Pokemon is a little... yeah.]

...the movie changed Marla's role, thank god, but it didn't help the plot any.
irenicly: (♨ now you want it back)

[personal profile] irenicly 2014-11-24 08:12 am (UTC)(link)
[You're welcome.

He did this on purpose.]


I don't know. Have you seen some of the Pokemon out there?

[It would probably be a Shedinja or something equally creepy.]

Oh! Mr. Tsukiyama!

[Well, look who it is in her adorable blue coat, having evidently just spotted Tsukiyama while in the midst of either her afternoon constitutional or the beginnings of a shopping excursion and (rather courageously, all things considered, given that we're in public and carrying on too vocally would be positively unseemly) decided to wave in the hopes of catching his attention.

...It is also worth noting that she has a Swablu on her shoulder, which has apparently successfully color-coordinated with her outdoor ensemble, of all things.]


Good day!

[One of the problems with living in Goldenrod for so long is that Greed has seen nearly everything there is to see about the city. It's a bit of a pain, honestly, but he doesn't mind exactly.

...that being said, the man he saw on the network some time ago outside catches Greed's attention, partially because of the outfit, and partially because of the Klefki.

That thing is one confusing animal.]


Sentient key rings are one of the more unusual Pokemon I've seen, I have to admit.

[How do they even work?]
irenicly: (♨ you can only stagger)

[personal profile] irenicly 2014-11-24 08:33 am (UTC)(link)
You'd think people in this world could be a little more imaginative, but given how many of the names for Pokemon are puns that's hoping for too much.

[He's going to try and not cause a fight, even with that... unfortunate jab out there.]

Maybe it's better if you can't find anything by Takatsuki Sen here. If Kaneki found his favorite author's work turned into stupid puns, he'd be annoyed.

[...that... might be an attempt at "I know you're a fan too."]

[It's really something, how a near-death experience via Super Ultron Lavaburst Kaiju McHellbeast tends to encourage one to be a little more daring in one's everyday life — and then facilitates its continuance when one discovers that literally nothing bad has happened despite doing so.

Over she trots, then, with her Swablu chirruping pleasantly.]


Very much so, thank you! I had a mind to go looking for a bonnet today, for the sake of dear Swablu here. Are you well, yourself?
