fifteenth fault; video/action for vermilion

[comeatmibro]

[ Miyuki's been back in Vermilion for the better part of a day by the time she shows her face on the network. She looks cheerful as usual, as if nothing's wrong. The backdrop is a mildly noisy Pokémon Center. ]

So, next stop: Fuchsia City Gym!

I'm gonna check out the Safari Zone after I kick that old man ninja's butt. Most of the stuff there sucks, but I want a Scyther. Turns out they evolve into something pretty cool, for bugs. Who knew? [ She grins cheekily. ]

When I'm done there, I can go hit Cinnabar Gym, then just, like, hang out on Cinnabar Island, maybe. The Seafoam Islands suck. Then I'm just gonna power through Viridian and Pewter. No rush. It's not like anyone's gonna beat my record, hehehehe.

[ Wow, how many things does Miyuki have coming right now? A lot. She doesn't know the Fuchsia Safari Zone is closed, or that the Fuchsia Gym is led by Janine, or that her hopes of sweeping the Kanto circuit at a leisurely pace while still beating everyone else and her own old record have been pretty much dashed, because she's been gone for five weeks.

Feel free to crush her dreams and/or welcome her back to the wide world of Pokémon. ]

A bug...? Cool? Are you sure that's such a good idea?

[ makoto can't even fathom it, but that's also what draws her attention the most here. she's sort of gotten used to a few bug pokemon during her time here, but the majority of them still horrify her... ]

Totally. Scythers have these awesome blade-arm thingies and they can, like, slice—

[ Wait. That's— ]

... Mako-sis?

[femininity]

Th, th, th, that's enough! 

[ bugs are bad enough without blade-arm thingies, as cool as that might sound. 

though she blinks a bit at that recognition, quickly forgetting her phobia. ]

Oh... you recognize me? [ she beams a bit at that, even if she seems a little sheepish. ] Eheh, sorry but I don't really remember things that well... but, um, I guess I'm back!

[dreamsofahero]

You know, someone announced that they'd won all the Johto badges in only four months several weeks ago, actually...

*...granted, that news may not be as shocking to her as the fact that he's currently sporting a highly visible set of horns, but hey*

video; 1/2

[comeatmibro]

Four months?! No way! That's totally—

[comeatmibro]

[ Ooookay, hold the phones. ]

... Dude. You have horns.

[ In case you weren't aware. ]

Re: video;

[dreamsofahero]

I'm aware of that.

*sheesh, where've you been the past month?? it's not like he's the only one with unfortunately visible mutations... :|*

And that's what he claimed, although from the sound of it he did nothing but train to challenge the gyms.

[paladinlost]

Can you wait manage all of that before I earn my last badge in Pewter?

[Hang on, there's something wrong with that.]

...What Safari Zone in Fuschia? And what old man ninja, for that matter?

[video]

[comeatmibro]

Y'know, the Safari Zone! Didn't you go there when you were in Fuchsia? And I know you beat that gym, Mister. Is your memory, like, getting rusty in your old age?

[video]

[paladinlost]

[He'll be very nice and ignore that dig at his age for now.]

There was no Safari Zone, and the Gym leader was a young woman. Though I do believe she mentioned a male relative?

At least you seem to have a lot of plans ahead of you.

[Also known as "Hi, long time no talk".]

video

[comeatmibro]

You know it, bro! What about you? You ever gonna beat all the gyms?

[ She assumes they spoke a couple weeks ago, no big. ]

[kyoukashotennis]

I haven't decided yet. [Thinking.] I technically wouldn't really need to, but it might be fun...

[Video] | just a placeholder actually

[Winry is trying to believe what she sees on the screen. She's back? ...Yeah, the number is not giving error messages anymore. Winry is happy to see her to say the least. She was worried, or well, sad because she thought that Miyuki went home. She's also very surprised by her location and everything else ever.]

Miyuki... [she's quiet for a moment.] You're back...

[Wow. Wait. What? Winry doesn't know anything about Kanto, except some names of the cities and that it exists and that she almost went there for a moment when she was still in Goldenrod... And other random stuff.

What she does know is that people who come back start in Johto. So, how can Miyuki be in...?]

Wait, did you break your gear and didn't get a new one until now? How can you be all the way in Kanto if you just...?

[Video] | that's fine!

[comeatmibro]

[ 'Back?' Miyuki looks confused, and nothing Winry says after that helps, either. ]

Break my 'Gear? No way, sis! I've been in Kanto, like... a whiiiile. Remember, I was gonna do the Kanto gym tour?

[Video] <3 ...meant to come back earlier, but...

[usedwrench]

[What? Winry looks confused too and nothing make sense today.]

Yeah, I remember you were going to do it. But ...you... your Gear thing has been telling me a message like you're not even here anymore, so I thought you went home.

[Now there's an incredibly obnoxious and utterly familiar voi — wait.]

...Chitose-san?

[comeatmibro]

[ Obligatory face-making commencing. ]

Yeah?

[usedlaserbeam]

[IT'S YOU. HOW ARE YOU GENTLEMAN]

I expect you'll be hearing a lot of this in the near future, but: you're back.

[video]

[darkenedgales]

... Somebody sounds confident.

[Not that he didn't back when he was taking down Johto gyms one after another, but hey. Double standards much?]

[video]

[comeatmibro]

Well, yeah. I'm just doing the regular gym challenges, and I already beat all the Johto gyms, so obviously I've got it in the bag.

[video]

[darkenedgales]

Ain't there some extra-strong challenge in Kanto for those who've got all Johto badges...?

[Or so he's heard, anyway.]
