[Video]/[Action for Goldenrod]

[crouching_sin]

[The video opens on a young boy, maybe twelve or so, digging in the dirt in a park in Goldenrod. He's got on loose pants but no shirt, and his skin is tanned. He's also got messy brown hair, like he's never heard of a hairbrush.]

[He hasn't, they weren't invented yet.]

[He seems intent on what he's doing, other than muttering slightly.]

The ground here is strange... where are my tools? Mother... Father... Abel...

[The camera turns, revealing a very concerned-looking Gardevoir.]

He's been like this all morning. I... I'm fairly sure this is my trainer, but he looks very different. He doesn't recognize me, and it was hard enough to convince him I wasn't a 'demon' and that he should wear pants.

Can... can anyone help me? I'm not sure how to handle this on my own...

[[ooc; Anyone who wants to encounter them, they're in a park in Goldenrod!]]

I don't like milk. It's warm.

[Video]

[knightoftimeout]

Nuh-uh, it's cold. I don't like milk either. But ice cream's awesome.

[Video]

[crouching_sin]

Why would milk be cold?

[Video]

[knightoftimeout]

'Cause it goes in the fidge...refidger...the...the refrigeridgerator.

...

It makes stuff cold.

[Video]

[crouching_sin]

I don't know what that is.

[Video]

[knightoftimeout]

It's a big box that you put food in and it makes it cold. And then you heat it up again by putting it in the mike...the mike-or-wave.

[Video]

[crouching_sin]

... That sounds like magic.

[Video]

[knightoftimeout]

Nuh-uh. It's elec...electric. But I guess they don't have that when you're from. You can look in your house, I bet you got one.

[Video]

[crouching_sin]

[He just looks skeptically at Dave.]

None of these things look like my home.

[Video]

[knightoftimeout]

I mean where you wokened up.

[Duh.]

Alice knows where it is. And you can get a shirt, too.

[Video]

[crouching_sin]

[He looks over at Alice, and she nods.]

I can help. That's what I'm here for.

[Video]

[knightoftimeout]

I got one too. But mine's a boy. They're good.

[Video]

[crouching_sin]

I thought angels didn't have genders.

Maybe not that you can see.

[She's going to need a very long nap after this.]

[Video]

[knightoftimeout]

Wart does. He's a boy. Wart, come say hi.

[Poor Wart looks exhausted when he peers into the camera.]

Hi.

[Video]

[crouching_sin]

[He peers at Wart, and then at Alice.]

Oh... that is different...

[Video]

[knightoftimeout]

He's like a knight, but Alice is more like...like a pretty lady. Do you know lots of girls?

[Video]

[crouching_sin]

... The only woman I know is my mother.

[Video]

[knightoftimeout]

...Is she nice?

[Video]

[crouching_sin]

Yes?

[Alice hesitates and shakes her head in the background. But it's not like Cain knows any better...]

[Video]

[knightoftimeout]

That's cool. I don't have a mom, I was just wonderin'.

[Video]

[crouching_sin]

You don't?

[He looks at Alice, confused, but she doesn't seem to be helping, so he looks back at Dave.]

[Video]

[knightoftimeout]

Nope.

[And that appears to be all he intends to share on the matter without further prodding. Wart looks uneasy in the background.]

[Video]

[crouching_sin]

... Do I really have to put on a shirt? It's warm...

[Video]

[knightoftimeout]

There's shirts with no sleeves. I have one, see.

[Dave disappears for a second, leaving a bemused Wart to mind the 'Gear, and then comes back with the sleeveless shirt from the Birdkeeper trainer outfit, obviously several sizes too big for him.]

If you wear one like this you won't get hot.

[Video]

[crouching_sin]

[Oh! He blinks and then nods, looking up at Alice.]

I think we might have something that fits you...

[Not that Naoya ever really wears that kind of thing, but maybe she can send Cassie out to buy one. As long as she covers her Zoroark tail...]

It's cooler inside, anyway. Aren't you hot from digging?

Yes...
