2 ♫ video/action for route 34

[bellyshirt]

[The feed opens to...an Abra. A sleeping Abra. Pretty normal Abra, actually. The camera follows the rise and fall of its little chest with an assiduity that almost seems alarming.]

I am gonna get this little sucker.

[That stage whisper would be Luke, who pointedly sets the camera down, presumably so that Johto can see how awesome his capture of his Abra will be. Somewhere close by, Zorua makes a long-suffering sound.

--and there Luke rushes forward, going in for the grab, only for the Abra to make its escape and leave him faceplanting against the ground.]

[A moment of silence, please. Zorua giggles.]

[Luke glowers at his pokemon, red-faced and expression flinty.]

This stupid thing's been running from me all morning! Why won't it stay in one place like a normal pokemon?! Zack, what do I do?!

[Someone might wanna mention that...there's more than one Abra.]

Ah, you have been out on the network on your own long enough to have *friends*? Both Pokémon and human, or...?

[shakespearealien]

I would very much like to be your friend, Zack.

I'm curious - what does the network look like from your perspective?

I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHAT YOU MEAN

:(

I'M SORRY

[shakespearealien]

Well, let's see. How are you typing your messages?

[doitrockapella]

WITH THE GEAR ???

BEEP BOP BOOP

[text. | private]

[shakespearealien]

Of course. But, for example, I type with my fingers. I don't think you have any fingers, however, so what do you use to type?

[doitrockapella]

OH
I JUST TELL IT WHAT TO SAY

BEEP BOP BOOP

THEN IT DOES

[shakespearealien]

As I thought. Are you *inside* the Gear?

[text. | private]

[doitrockapella]

Ah, so this is Zack's inquisitive new friend.

You're very curious about him, aren't you?

[text. | private] (excuse me while I faint from the awesome)

[shakespearealien]

I find that asking questions is befitting of a scientist like myself.

My name is Gorthan. Who are you?

[text. | private] (at some point we should maybe take this to her phone post to stop spamming ara)

[doitrockapella]

It's certainly a good way to get answers.

You'll forgive my interruption of your conversation, but I do like to have the pleasure of meeting his friends firsthand. I'm his trainer.

[text. | private] (how about right now? ^^;)

[shakespearealien]

Ah, how ironic. I don't get a name?

Zack is very pleasant to talk to. Disciplined, too.

[text. | private] (sounds good to me!)

[doitrockapella]

If you pursue answers as zealously in your research as you do in your social interactions, you must be a remarkable scientist.

I'm glad you find him so likeable.
