tarotcards | DREAM 021 [VIDEO/ACTION IN GOLDENROD]

[ 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. ))

Would you like me to go get them?

[So he says as he offers Souji a hand up.]

[ Souji takes the hand and pulls himself to stand, but immediately bends forward, placing a hand on his back. Jeez, that was some fall. ]

Yeah, can you just set them on the kitchen table? I'll come in for them in a few minutes. [ Y'know, after waddling his way in. ]

Certainly. Although... Are you sure you do not want me to help you inside?

Well, if it's not too much trouble, I wouldn't mind it.

[ Since he's trying to not be all independent and refuse help as much. That fight with Yosuke has made him slowly accept more help. ]

It's no trouble. I'm already helping you; it would be strange not to go the full way.

[He offers Souji his shoulder for support!

Thanks.

[ He gives a smile in appreciation. He then stands up a bit straighter to put his arm around Asuma's shoulders, placing some of his weight on him. While walking back indoors; ]

The painkillers should be in the drawer closest to the door where the rest of the medicine is.

[Asuma nods as he helps Souji to the table first - it can be used as a support while he goes to retrieve the painkillers and a glass of water.]

And here you go! Medicine these days sure are handy.

[ He sits himself down at the table, taking relief in that he doesn't have to stand up or walk anymore. He takes the water and painkillers with a nod, taking out two pills out and swallowing them down. Now for them to kick in... ]

It really is. I'd imagine it was pretty hard back then without this stuff.

Well, healing potions were available, but that requires a magic user to be present... Most people would just have to find a way to tolerate it.

You've had magic users back at home?

Oh? I never told you?

I don't think it has ever come up.

Well, in that case, yes. Magic users... well, they aren't common in my world, but they aren't extreme rarities, either.

That sounds like quite the world. Magic is probably quite helpful to have.

[ It's not like Souji knows with all of his Personas and magic. Noooooope... ]

Indeed! To be perfectly honest, my country would probably be much poorer off without it.

[Boss, why you gotta have your secrets.]

Could you do any magic?

[ Because... just because!! ]

...As a matter of fact, I could. But not here.
