DREAM 021 [VIDEO/ACTION IN GOLDENROD]

[tarotcards]

[ Good afternoon, Johto! How is that Christmas spirit going on? Going shopping for the perfect gifts, caroling, setting up a tree, these are staples of a Western Christmas. Well, Souji has been here for over a year and he has noticed that most people celebrate the holiday that way, so heck, he might as well try spending it like that too. He has tried it last year in Johto and it has been quite fun. Besides, a certain somebody has been trying to make him put more spirit into it and "fully celebrate" it. So, guess who is putting up Christmas lights on the Breeding Centre and has dragged his partner with it? ]

[ The camera spins from the dirt road to a usedkunai, dressed all warmly and holding a line of lights out towards Souji all the way up on a ladder. The Riolu points it up to Souji who takes notice of it. ]

Yosuke, the camera. [ He points down at the gear which then swings down to Yosuke. ]

O-oh, it's on? [ He looks at the Riolu, who shakes the camera as he nods. ] Alright, well-- A little more warning would have been nice, but...

[ Yosuke grins, putting on his best salesman act. Don't worry, he's totally a pro at this. ] Come one, come all to the Breeding Centre's Merry Holiday Christmas Sale! All eggs will be buy one, get one free until Christmas. We'll also do gift wrapping, and same day delivery, just like always!

This special is a limited-time offer, so make sure you get the deal while it's hot! [ He winks at the camera. What a ham. He definitely sounds like Crazy Eddie. Please roll your eyes at him any time now. Once he finishes his spiel, the Riolu makes an affirmative sound, implying that he's done with the video. Spoiler: It's still on. ]

Well, that worked well enough, I guess. Maybe a little over the top, but we did kind of wait a while to actually do somethin-- Hey, are you ready for the next string of lights yet? [ Yosuke's brain-to-mouth filter is currently set to off, just happily blabbering his stream of consciousness. ]

[ Souji gives a small nod and outstretches a single hand, the other gripping the ladder. ] Yeah, pass them up. I should be able to cover this side of the centre with one more line.

[ Yosuke bends down to pick up a new line from the box, putting the whole thing in his arms. However, the problem with having an armful of things and having elbows stick out around a ladder is just asking for disaster, and as expected, there's one as he stands back up, he accidentally bumps the ladder just hard enough to give it a shake. ]

Hey-- whoa, whoa, ack!!

[ And without any surprise, Souji falls right off that ladder. Yosuke, being right in the path of damage lets out a pretty loud: ]

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!

[ He drops the lights, making an attempt to either catch Souji or get the hell out of the way... which one it is, Yosuke doesn't know, because there's not exactly much time for him to think. As this happens, the Riolu tries to catch its trainer by dropping the gear, shutting it off. ]

(( ooc: both Souji and Yosuke will be replying to this mess of a post! For action tags, they will be set after the two of them get off of each other and stand. ))

[ ... well. While Rise had the kindest of intentions in staying inside where it's nice and warm, her Senpai senses were tingling.

So it just so happens that she steps outside, just as Souji plummets down from Heaven and-- oh there goes Yosuke. ]

Oh my god, are you guys okay?!

[action]

[tarotcards]

[ Souji cradles his head with one hand, the other besides Yosuke's head. He lets out a small groan of pain before pushing himself off the other a few seconds later, sitting himself down on the snow. He's in too much pain to really care about the cold snow. ]

Yeah, I think I am. I just need a minute. How about you, Partner?

action;

[skillspanner]

[FUCK. THAT HURT. This is also kind of awkward hello CONTACT IS A BIT TOO CLOSE RIGHT NOW.]

D-dude... wayyyy too close for comfort right now...

action;

[tarotcards]

[ Oh God, his head. Everything hurts. Man, and this week was going so well too. ]

Just give a half a minute. [ He lets out a groan of pain and thirty seconds later, he rolls off Yosuke, lying down on his back on the snow. Everything is dizzy and it hurts and he just rubs his head with one hand, eyes closed. ]

[flawlesspoison.livejournal.com]

[Okay, that was... something.]

Are you guys alright?

[... please let there be no more injuries to his friends. It's enough that one is (not even mentioned that he himself still has a semi-big bruise on his cheek due to the damn Ice Path). ]

video;

[skillspanner]

[Something indeed. Just give them a few minutes and Yosuke will reply, looking only a little winded.]

Crap, that was still on? ...Ye-yeah. The snow kinda broke my fall from the weight falling on me. [He's not going to mention that he smacked his head hard on the not fluffy ice, though.]

What uh... happened to you, anyways? You're not looking the best yourself, man.

video;

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

...you two okay?

video;

[skillspanner]

[This is the most embarrassing thing. Does all of Johto really always have to see all his clumsy moments?]

Just a few bumps and bruises, ahaha...

[The most uninspired laugh ever.]

video;

[ieyasachu.livejournal.com]

[wow that is an excellent deal

BUT FIRST AND FOREMOST-]

... would the two of you need some help by any chance? I hope you haven't gotten hurt...

video;

[skillspanner]

Wh-- Help? [Shaking his head. Which makes him a little dizzy again, so he makes a face.] Nah, it's fine. It wasn't really that far of a fall...

video!

[seikaprez.livejournal.com]

O-Oi!! I-Is everything okay?!

video!

[skillspanner]

Yep, totally fine, Misaki-san! We just love falling off ladders, you know? Ahahaha... [Which comes out a bit more sarcastic than he intended, but he didn't expect anyone to have seen that, let alone having a bunch of people reply.]

action

[dragonspeak]

[He'd just been about to reply to the video and tease Yosuke for his sales pitch when he sees what's happening, and oh....that crash from outside is pretty hard to miss.

HANG ON, PUTTING ON AN EXTRA BURST OF SPEED TO RUN OUTSIDE.]

Yosuke?? Souji?!

action

[skillspanner]

[By the time Merlin gets outside, they'll have already separated, but Yosuke's just kind of laying, sprawled in the snow. WHY IS EVERYTHING SPINNING.]

Just another case of epic fail, dude. No worries...

[Video]

[martyrofbread.livejournal.com]

[Jesus was all excited and stuff about the eggs...

But then his TIME TO WORRY sign started blinking. The eggs can wait.]

AH! Are you guys OK??

[Video]

[skillspanner]

[When he sees this, he's still a bit exasperated that Setanta left the feed running when it was supposed to be turned off. He's still a bit woozy from the fall, but he nods his head.]

Somehow, we managed to make it out of that one alive, hehehe.

[video]

[herolegs]

[Siiiigh.] Yosuke, didn't we agree, no more disasters in the breeding center? Geez, are you guys okay?

[If she seems a bit insensitive to their pain, don't feel too offended -- she knows after facing off against massive Shadows and self-proclaimed goddesses, no fall from a ladder is going to take these two out. She's showing confidence in them, really.]

[video]

[skillspanner]

[He just sighs. He's not bothered by it, for a similar reason. Although he wouldn't mind a little more sympathy.]

Ye-yeah, we're fine. And hey, it's not in the Centre! I'm pretty sure outside is fair game...

[heartbottled.livejournal.com]

[UWAAA THAT WAS SO COOL! This reminds her of one of those "advertisements" she saw at television! By the time Hanamura-san is finished with his sales pitch, she's completely wowed and sold.]

I want to buy something! I want to buy--

[When she suddenly sees that sudden accident and winces.]

Are you both alright?!

[skillspanner]

Hehe, yeah - don't worry about us, Kobato-chan. We're okay, just a few bumps and bruises. [He forces out a laugh; he doesn't want to worry her since he's already figured out how easily she gets worked up.]

[Action]

[youngforhisage.livejournal.com]

[.....Well that can't have been good. Asuma quickly makes his way out to check if the two have survived the fall.]

Are you alright?

[Action]

[skillspanner]

[Just laying sprawled out and letting out a groan.]

Once the spinning stops, yeah...

[Action] after viewing... the video. orz you guys-

[isahero]

[Alfred had been doing productive things when his 'Gear had picked up on a new video.

It takes a minute or two for him to get outside, and he actually almost trips up himself at howfuckingcold it is out there. He rushed out, so he hadn't even thought to grab his coat.]

Are you guys alright?!

[Action] the clumsiest okay

[skillspanner]

[He never wants to move ever. It doesn't matter how cold the ground is. Maybe it'll numb the pain.]

Ladders should come with cushions to keep under them...

[video]

[craftingrebel]

[his eyes widen.] You two okay?

[video]

[skillspanner]

[He'll answer this after he gets back inside, where he's holding a heat pack to the back of his head.]

Remind me to keep my distance next time we do something like this... [A small groan.] We're okay, just... urk.

[Video]

[suzakufeather]

Ah... Souji-kun? Yosuke-kun? [She should be used to their fail but... That looked painful.]

[Video]

[skillspanner]

Hahaha, heeeey, Yukiko. [He is wincing. And winking! Totally nothing wrong here now that he's inside and sprawled on the sofa.]

action;

[usedrawr.livejournal.com]

[ and teddie had been inside, munching on some popcorn... but he heard that manly scream from yosuke and rushed outside. with the popcorn.

so it's kind of appropriate that he sees them both fall, as he slowly pops some more in his mouth--until he realizes just what happened. ]

Wh-- Sensei! Yoooosuke! [ yes he is waddling over now, and even putting down his bowl of popcorn! ]

action;

[skillspanner]

Dude, you brought the popcorn outside with you? [FOCUSING ON THE IMPORTANT THINGS as he finally decides to sit up, rubbing the bump on the back of his head.]

[loveofcamelot.livejournal.com]

[ Arthur is just on his way back in from a store run — this baby Smoochum lives on a steady diet of peppermint sweets, and Arthur doesn't have it in him to deny her, it seems — and as he approaches, sees that Souji and Yosuke are on camera. He opts to hang back, rather than walking through the shot. Besides, he's not totally sure what they're doing, so he stands to watch for a moment, his Smoochum popping her head out of the grocery bag to follow suit.

And he stands there watching as the boys topple the ladder... and each other... and the cameramon.

Don't mind him, he'll be over here laughing whenever you two are on your feet again. ]

action;

[skillspanner]

[Yosuke is not amused. Yes, if it was someone else, he probably would have done the same once he knew they weren't seriously injured. But when it's your own pain, it's less funny, so he's shooting Arthur a glare. Is there ever a time when you're not being a jerk, bro?]

Oh, yeah, it's sooooo funny when people get hurt, right? [It's not a serious injury, but it still hurt.]

[video]

[usedsuperpower.livejournal.com]

_{[Stitch is staring with a mix of curiosity and worry on his face, moving his head as he's trying to look around the 'gear and get a better view of what's going on, but... well. He can't.]}

[video]

[tarotcards]

[ Well, once Stitch gets a reply from Souji, all he gets is him holding an ice bag to his forehead and his wonderful couch. ]

Hey, Stitch... [ Does Souji even want to know why you're looking at the gear like that... ]

[video]

[stolemyfries.livejournal.com]

[Marceline's wincing a little at the commotion.]

Ouch. Hope you guys are okay and all?

[video]

[tarotcards]

[ A small nod. ]

Yeah, just some bruises. I think we'll live.

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Are you all right? That looked like it hurt.

[video]

[tarotcards]

[ After heading indoors, taking some painkillers, grabbing some ice, and finding relief on his bed, here's a reply! ]

It's nothing we can't handle. We have ice and heat packs along with painkillers to help.

{Action} how could this be anything but action

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

BOYS!

{That worried shriek came from the throat of none other than Nanao, who is running over to see what's happening because ladders + falls = concussions and broken bones.}

{Action} idk SOMEHOW??

[skillspanner]

[Just laying, sprawled out over the snow and letting out a pained groan. He'll be okay in a couple of minutes...]

[Video]

[crossinggenders.livejournal.com]

WAAAAAAH! I... Is everyone okay?!

[Video]

[skillspanner]

I-it's fine! [Holy crap, so worked up.] N-no need to worry, just some bumps and bruises! Ahaha...

[superrising.livejournal.com]

[Well, that looks painful.]

You two all right there, man?

[skillspanner]

[A little while after the ordeal, he's got a heat pack on his head and a weak smile.] I think I narrowly avoided a concussion this time.
