nineteenth fault; video/action for Olivine, backdated to Monday afternoon

Wed, 28 Nov 2012 02:54:29 GMT

[ Miyuki's standing on a beach in Olivine when she fumbles the 'Gear to life. A Slowking is floating on the water in the background, and will drift gradually further out onto the ocean as the feed goes on. ]

So after spending all weekend with Totoro in Goldenrod, I wound up where I was headed, anyway. That's the weird part. [ Not the rest of it — she's been here too long. ]

I got to pick up my stuff from the Otherhouse... Otherdad's really gone, huh? [ She smiles a little ruefully. ] I bet there's kids who need him back home where he came from, though. It's okay. [ She's certainly taking this a lot better than the last few disappearances. ]

Anyway, I'm in Olivine now, Braids-sis. [ She never got your name.... ] I'm on the east side of town, on the rocky part of the beach. [ The camera whirls to reveal an intimidating rock face, currently being scaled by a cheerful Tyranitar. ] There's woods up there; I'm not gonna go trekking through them, though. I've got surfers, so I'll take the water around to the docks. You should meet me there!

[ She turns around, the camera turning with her, and in the distance, bobbing on the water, is a fat pink shape. Miyuki makes an exasperated noise. ]

Gotta go get my stupid Slowking first.

[ And with that muttered remark, the feed goes out. ]

eighteenth fault; video

Sat, 17 Nov 2012 18:40:48 GMT

[ The feed opens on a tabletop in a restaurant, where Miyuki sits with what might actually be the world's largest cheeseburger. She's alone, but seems to be in relatively good spirits, especially considering what she says next. ]

Got knocked out in the quarterfinals by Mister Harvey. [ Look, she remembers your name. ] That means you'd better win the tourney, dude. I don't lose to losers.

Oh, and if any of you dudes were gonna get me Christmas presents, I'm gonna need warm clothes. My winter stuff from last year is, like, way too small now. [ This girl just keeps getting taller. ] And I'm gonna be traveling again after Christmas, I think. Maybe.

I kinda wanna get a house, but I'm only eleven? [ Or twelve, but the real estate agencies don't make much of a distinction between the two. ] Who around here has, like, a real house, anyway? Like, how much does it cost, or whatever?

[ She reaches for the 'Gear and picks it up, then stops, brightening. ]

Oh, yeah! I'm thinking about doing Old Man Surge's survival camp thingie. Anyone ever done that? Is it, like, super brutal? I figure a girl's gotta be able to take care of herself, if she's gonna be traveling alone sometimes. Tell me something good, dudes.

[ The feed clicks off on her grin. ]

seventeenth fault; video

Tue, 11 Sep 2012 22:30:15 GMT

[ The feed opens in the capable (if somewhat irresponsible) hands (claws?) of a cheerful-looking Axew. He bares his tusks for the camera in a grin, then turns it around to face the water off the beach of Cinnabar.

Miyuki wades thigh-deep in it a few yards away, stooped over and feeling around on the bottom with both hands. She glances at the 'Gear after a second and grins, sheepish. ]

Dropped my new badge.

[ Turning her eyes to the sky, she says: ] Been here a year today. I'm, like... eleven now.

[ She straightens, holding something shiny between her fingers. The sharp-sighted might recognize it as a bottle cap. With a frown, she tucks it into the pocket of her shorts and keeps searching. ]

I've seen a lot of dudes come and go, too. Friends and stuff, and also jerks. [ The insult doesn't have much bite to it. ] My brother.

People just up and leave, y'know? No warning or anything. I hate it. I'm... tired of it. How are you supposed to have friends or, like, even talk to people? As soon as you start — aha! [ She stops, raising her hands from the water again. This time, she's holding the Volcano Badge.

She dips it in the water once before she wades toward the shore. The camera tracks her progress with much shaking. Flopping on the sand just out of reach of the tide, she drags her bag to her and rummages inside for her badge case. ]

What was I saying? ... Oh.

[ Nestling the Volcano Badge in with the other thirteen — every badge except Viridian and Pewter (of all things) — she continues: ] A girl's just gotta depend on herself, I guess. Anyone else could just disappear or whatever.

[ She sounds a little sad and a lot resigned, though she's trying for nonchalant. The badges catch the sun as she tilts the case back and forth, studying them. ]

It gets kinda boring traveling by yourself, though.

[ Slowly, the camera's viewpoint begins to change. It rises higher, a scant inch at a time, and then becomes inexplicably wobbly. The sound of feet sloshing through water can be heard in the background, and the camera begins gradually moving further away from Miyuki. ]

Maybe after I get these two badges, I'll chill for a while. Work or something, maybe get, like, a house.

[ The camera teeters violently, then careens sideways, earning a squawking 'Xew!' from the cameramon, who — miraculously — catches the 'Gear before it hits the water. ]

Hey! Stupid! Gimme that!

[ The haphazard view of the water suddenly spins, revealing sky, then sand and surf and Miyuki's bare feet splashing into the shallows just before the feed cuts. ]

fifteenth fault; video/action for vermilion

Tue, 21 Aug 2012 01:47:56 GMT

[ 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. ]

fourteenth fault; video/action for celadon

Tue, 12 Jun 2012 22:45:41 GMT

[ When the feed clicks on, it's obvious Miyuki's been crying. Her eyes are red and blotchy, and still bright with tears. That aside, she looks calm, but her voice is low and unsteady. ]

Sakura-chan went home.

[ She gestures vaguely with a piece of paper in her hand. ]

She left a letter, and Kero-chan is here with me. If anyone has her other Pokémon, let me know. I wanna make sure they're taken care of.

[ There's a moment in which Miyuki wavers, like she's not quite sure what she'll do or say next. In the end, she lets out a breath. ]

Gonna do the Kanto tour. I'll take on those crazy elite teams after I wipe the floor with the regular ones.

[ Her voice starts to rise a little, steadier now, and she even tries a smile. It looks a little strained, but it's something. ]

I'll start in Celadon, since I'm here. I'll even give these poor dudes a fighting chance; I'll try to match their levels. Might be hard, though.

Say, does anyone have both sets of badges already? What's the most badges anyone has? And has anyone finished an elite tour yet?

[ When she runs out of questions, she looks less upset, at least. She ends the feed dry-eyed.

For action tags, feel free to stumble across (or seek out) Miyuki's tent at the north edge of Celadon City, behind the Department Store. She'll be sitting outside it, a morose Ursaring beside her. ]

thirteenth fault; video/action for saffron

Fri, 18 May 2012 20:48:13 GMT

[ Miyuki's back on a roof somewhere in Saffron City, but this time, the weather is pleasant and the sun bright. She's actually lying on her stomach, her shirt dragged up over her shoulders, sunning her back. It's a few moments of this before the cameramon speaks up. ]

Ax!

[ The girl looks lazily over her shoulder, but one glimpse of the record light on the 'Gear has her scrambling to her feet and pulling her shirt down in the back, cheeks pinking. ]

Jeez, warn a girl, Axe-bro! I wasn't decent!

[ When she recovers from her embarrassment (which does take a moment), she sits back down, facing the 'Gear this time. ]

So since that crazy freakin' typhoon hit, like... right after I got here, I didn't get a chance to say it — [ She drags her bag closer and pulls her jacket out of it, holding it open to show the eight gym badges from Johto. ]

I beat your record, Mister Old Man. [ No, she never learned Roy's name. She has no plans to. ] Seven months, two weeks and four days. How's Kanto lookin' for you?

[ The feed cuts on her cheeky grin. ]

twelfth fault; video/action for saffron

Thu, 10 May 2012 14:36:18 GMT

[ The feed clicks on to a figure against an almost-black backdrop, a dimly lit silhouette without any sun to light her features. She opens her mouth, right before the sky opens up and boom, boom, booms, like a series of naval cannons. Lightning flashes in the background, illuminating Miyuki and her annoyed expression for a good couple of seconds. She's wet, and her face is bruised, an ugly line down the center of her lower lip.

In the precious moments of brightness, the darkness behind her is also thrown into sharp relief: it's the hulking side of a Torterra, which seems to be moderate shelter from the wind, the occasional shift notwithstanding.

Miyuki speaks loudly to be heard over the rush of rain and the bluster of wind in the microphone of the 'Gear, which still manages to obliterate her words now and then. ]

This really sucks! Kanto wasn't this crappy in the games! If I could Fly in this without getting struck by stupid lightning, I'd just go back to Johto! At least I didn't get all my stuff stolen there!

[ There's another flash of lightning, this one much closer, and she ducks, the 'Gear going up over her head. The Torterra's form is even more brightly lit than last time, the electricity crackling around his shell before it dies out. Miyuki looks a little shaken when she brings the focus back to her face. ]

I'm really glad that worked! [ She gestures over her shoulder. ] I'm on the roof next to the train station! Tank-bro makes a pretty good lightning rod!

Sakura-chan! I hope you're inside somewhere and not an idiot!

[ She seems to be about to say something else, but another solid crack of thunder cuts her off. She shouts something that's mostly drowned out by the wind, but sounds like (if you're listening closely) 'we'll talk later.'

Click. ]

[ Feel free to come find her if you're in Saffron and you're capable. Otherwise, she'll be answering replies to this post on a slight delay. ]

eleventh fault; video/action for cianwood

Mon, 23 Apr 2012 16:18:32 GMT

[ The feed comes on in the middle of the action: a Charizard swoops down into a waiting Hitmonlee, knocking it to the ground and circling back around to his own side of the battlefield. In the background, a song is playing.

From the camera's vantage point in the bleachers, it's hard to hear the tiny girl trainer's orders over the music. Chuck's voice carries better, but not much. The song continues through the Hitmonlee's defeat, as well as the Hitmonchan who follows. They can't get much purchase against the barrage of Flying-type attacks the Charizard is handing out, and their own attacks don't do much damage.

When Chuck sends out his Poliwrath, Miyuki hesitates. The cameramon speaks up at the top of her lungs. ]

Ax! Axew! Axew!

[ Miyuki looks up at the camera, which zooms in on her sudden wide-eyed expression. For a second, she looks like she might actually run out of the gym altogether — but then she clenches her fist and turns back to the battlefield to recall her Charizard.

A Jolteon takes his place, and the following battle is over in short order. It's clear that the Poliwrath was a severe mismatch for its opponent in both type and level.

As the music fades away, Miyuki cheers. ]

Yeah! Take that, dude! Badge number six, get!

Wahaha! Not so fast, little girl! You don't have your badge yet!

[ Crossing the gym to meet him in the middle, Miyuki sticks out her hand for a handshake. Chuck laughs again and obliges, handing over her badge afterward. ]

It was a good battle! Here, take this HM, too.

Heh, thanks, mister! Now I can fly to Mahogany and kick some other old guy's butt.

Buh— old guy?! Hey, listen here—

Whoops! Gotta run!

[ Miyuki takes off, waving at her Axew in the bleachers. The camera shuts off in the ensuing scramble.

Storm Badge is mod-approved! ♥ ]

tenth fault; video/action for Olivine

Fri, 30 Mar 2012 22:30:55 GMT

[ Check out that gorgeous blue water, Johto. It's the ocean off the coast of Olivine, not that you can tell, since the shot is being taken straight down from the shoulders of a Dragonite. The telltale orange scales give it away.

Behind the camera, Miyuki whoops. ]

This is awesome! Haku-bro's huge!

[ She turns the 'Gear on herself: she's grinning, beaming, and the next second, the view shifts wildly, spinning sky and water and orange dragon hide. ]

Hold this, Haku-bro.

[ Haku-bro, ostensibly the Dragonite, takes the camera, leaving the viewers with some more unnaturally-cerulean water — which turns white and splatters the lens when, a moment later, something splashes in.

Miyuki breaks the surface, laughing and treading water. She's still in all her clothes. ]

Draaag...

It's not that cold, dude!

[ An orange tail ripples through the water, close enough for Miyuki to grab on, which she does. She hangs there as she addresses the network. ]

Haku-bro evolved! He's freakin' huge now! And we're in Olivine! The beach is super awesome!

Oh! And I beat Jasmine! I'd show you guys my new badge, but it's in my bag— hey!

[ Something offscreen has her attention now. Haku-bro turns himself and the camera that way, revealing a Kingler on the shore dragging a backpack into the water, right past a Slowpoke that's lazing in the shallows. ]

Bro, get that stupid crab!

...

...

... Poke?

Augh!

[ Surrendering the Dragonite's tail, Miyuki starts to swim to shore. The transmission doesn't last long after that — with a resounding rush, the 'Gear is overtaken by water, and the feed cuts.

Passersby are welcome to get drenched by the Aqua Tail that Dragonite just popped off, and interfere with the Kingler interloper however they'd like! Miyuki will resurface shortly after the water settles, but any network responses are going to be a few hours later, when she's gotten her 'Gear dried out and working again. ]

ninth fault; video/action for Ecruteak City

Fri, 16 Mar 2012 01:56:33 GMT

[ Miyuki turns on the feed looking exasperated. ]

Soloed Ecruteak Gym. [ She flashes the Fog Badge, but she doesn't look as triumphant as she ought to. ] Guess we're on our way outta here, since Sakura-chan's a scaredy-wuss—

[ This last scathing insult is directed offscreen somewhere, though there's no audible response. With a roll of her eyes, Miyuki looks back at the 'Gear. ]

Olivine next. Steel-types should be, like, cake. Then Cianwood, and then we'll fly to Mahogany. Man, I can't wait 'til we can fly.

—Hey, what do you guys know about new evolutions? Like, some of the original hundred and fifty have evos and pre-evos and junk that I've never seen before. Are there a lot of 'em?

eighth fault; video/action for Goldenrod

Sat, 03 Mar 2012 17:01:23 GMT

[ Miyuki looks annoyed today. ]

So I got my egg on Valentine's Day, right? And since then, I got two other eggs. [ The camera pans over to a somewhat petite Tauros and a snoozing Slowpoke. ] They hatched already. They both took like a week. But my Valentine's Day egg....

[ She turns the camera to an egg, sitting bundled in a towel. As she continues, it's beginning to shake. ]

... still hasn't hatched. Like, not even a crack! What's up with that? Is it a dud? Am I supposed to eat it or something?

[ A sudden jerk from the egg interrupts her. ] — Whoa!

[ What's this? Why, it's ~*the miracle of life*~. A few small cracks are appearing in the surface above and below the band, and the egg is shaking violently now. ]

Come on, dude... you can do it!

[ One particularly violent twitch sends it toppling over, and it's engulfed in that bright white light that spares us from the less-miraculous portion of the event. ]

Yesss!

[ When the light clears, a wobbly baby Axew makes its way to its feet. ]

Xeeew!

[ Miyuki drops the 'Gear on the couch, leaving an awkwardly angled shot of the Pokémon, and of herself when she comes into view to scoop it up. ]

Cool! Oh, man, you're gonna be so awesome when you grow up!

[ There's a few minutes of this exultant praise before she seems to remember the 'Gear was ever on, and comes to pick it up. The ding and the tinny voice of the Pokédex feature sounds, and then Miyuki whoops. ]

Sweet! Holy crap, you're, like, shiny! [ She turns the camera on herself, grinning. ] Totally just hatched a shiny Axew. Beat that, Johto!

[ OOC; Miyuki and Sakura are staying in the Tennishaus in Goldenrod, as per Yagyuu's invitation. They've only been there since yesterday, so housemates are free to come investigate (if they haven't realized she's there yet) or pester her — she's just in the living room. Yes, her Tauros is grazing on the carpet. ]

seventh fault; video/action for Azalea Inn

Tue, 21 Feb 2012 00:13:48 GMT

[ Miyuki turns on the 'Gear, sitting on the edge of a bed in an inn room. (Wait, so you're saying she's paying for an inn room? Yes, yes, she is. Something's clearly wrong here, and not just because she's not freezing her ass off in a tent: her eyes and nose are red. She's clearly been crying.)

When she clears her throat and speaks, her voice is soft, but steady, and strangely sober for Miyuki. ]

My brother— Chitose Senri went home, in case anyone's looking for him. He left me his Persian — [ She turns the camera down to the cat's head in her lap. ] — and a note. I guess he wrote it a while ago.

[ It's a long moment before she turns the camera back on herself and smiles, however weakly. ]

He said when I come home, we'll celebrate me being a Pokémon League champion. I'll hold him to it, y'know. A girl's gotta get some recognition. ... So I'm gonna keep going to collect all the badges, so when I come home, he'll be proud—

[ Her voice cracks suddenly, and she drops the 'Gear into her lap. There's a too-close view of the Persian lifting her head, mewling concern, but just a few seconds later, Miyuki picks it up again. Her eyes are wet. ]

I got the Hive Badge already. Three down, five to go. Then it's on to Kanto. [ She clears her throat again and swallows. ] Me and Sakura-chan are headed up north, leaving tomorrow morning.

I've got some last-minute stuff to do before we hit the road again.

[ The feed ends somewhat abruptly. ]

comments

sixth fault; video/action for Otherhouse

Sat, 28 Jan 2012 01:13:09 GMT

[ Miyuki clicks the feed on herself, considerably more cheerful than the last time the network saw her. She's sitting on a couch in the Otherhouse, shoulder-to-shoulder with Sakura, each of them clutching mugs of hot cocoa topped with liberal whipped cream. ]

This hot cocoa is, like, twenty percent better than any other hot cocoa ever. Wanna know why?

[ Sakura giggles in the background. ] It's victory cocoa!

Yep! [ The camera is jogged slightly, then Miyuki holds up a gleaming Plain badge. ] Soloed it! Godzilla-bro went as easy as he could, but that chick still cried, like... a lot. [ She looks exasperated. ]

I still think you could've been a little nicer to her, Miyuki-chan.

Hey, I said I was sorry for kicking her butt! Anyway, we'll probably go to Azalea soon, but I don't know how hard it'll be to get through that forest in this weather and whatever. Any advice?

[ ooc; badge is mod-approved, Sakura used with permission!
