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. ))

Come on, you think something like that would take us out?

Oh, of course not. It still doesn't mean it won't hurt though.

[She smiles faintly.]

At least you're not down and dizzy.

I think I was for a second there, but I managed to snap out of it before Kanji found his way back to Goldenrod, hehehe.

It's probably for the best, yes.

Yeah, no joke. His wake-ups are the most brutal...

At least they worked, I suppose.

Yours did too, and you're much more gentle, Yukiko... [He's not subtly flirting YOSUKE STOP THAT.]

I don't think anyone was quite as rough as Kanji for that though. [STOP THAT YOSUKE, YOU ALREADY FAILED TWICE :C-- I mean-]

[Yes. AND ALSO THAT OTHER THING WE AREN'T TALKING ABOUT.] I guess we should expect that much from a guy who carry a desk around, huh?

[YES. THAT THING.] That's true. I'm still not sure how he managed that. [Fans are much lighter okok.]

I'm pretty sure most people shopping in Junes just did not wanna question a guy carrying a school desk around.

Especially not a guy like looks like Kanji.

Well there are sometimes police around Junes, aren't there? I'm surprised they didn't say anything.

[YEAH, YOSUKE, REMEMBER THAT TIME WITH YOU AND YOUR SWORDS---]

You know... you kind of have a point there. I mean, they're usually pretty quick to accuse him. [Stops, thinking.] Maybe they just thought I was taking care of it or something.

It's not exactly like the cops are really all that reliable anyways.

That's also true, especially while the case was still a priority.

[It's still a little unusual though.]

We-well, whatever it is, I guess that part doesn't matter much now anyways.

You're right, it doesn't.

Yeah, we can... worry about that back in Inaba. If we ever even have to again, I mean.

Which hopefully we won't.
