[VIDEO/ACTION] Baby's First Murder Attempt

[usedagility]

[The feed clicks on as the Prince taps at the 'gear with his gauntlet. Gently, though! He doesn't want to dent... whatever it is. Eventually he gives up; he has no idea what it's supposed to do, and that means it's useless. He sets it down. You now get a sideways view of him... he's wet and cranky, how exciting. You can also hear him grumbling.

You really shouldn't tempt fate by saying things like that.

[No response! Instead you get the Prince leaping out of the tree he's holed up in, tearing across the video feed as Skarmory chases after him on foot, wings flared. It just wants some love. ):]

WHAT DID I EVER DO TO YOU? YOU'RE A BIRD! YOU'RE MADE OF KNIVES! I'M GOING TO DIE!

-- WHY AM I EVEN TALKING TO YOU?!

[sigh, new people are so silly]

The bird's not going to hurt you.

[The Prince bounds up to the feed, nearly stepping on it as he rushes past and snatches the Pokeball he'd dropped earlier. He doesn't stop running until he's sealed Skarmory back inside, then he falls over, sighing in relief.

Eventually he wanders back to the 'gear and checks out the messages playing inside. How the fuck this works, he doesn't know, but talking hasn't failed him yet. Have a squint, stranger!]

Not any more, it won't.

[sfaccendato]

It won't even if you let it out -- it's your starter. It's there to help you.

[video]

[usedagility]

Yeah. Sure. I'm not falling for that again.

[video]

[sfaccendato]

It was obviously just trying to hug you earlier.

[video]

[usedagility]

It jumped on me and tried to cut me open. I don't know about you, but I'm not about to hold still for that.

[video]

[sfaccendato]

It's not its fault its feathers are really sharp. They're easy enough to avoid with practice.

[video]

[usedagility]

Well, then I think I'm doing a great job of avoiding them right now.

[video]

[sfaccendato]

You're not going to get very far keeping it in the ball, though. That leaves you open for other Pokemon to attack.

[video]

[usedagility]

-- they're all like that?!

[video]

[sfaccendato]

No, but some of them are~ That's why you should make friends with the one you have, so it can defend you.

[video]

[usedagility]

Sure, let the bloodthirsty knife-bird out of its cage so it can kill me before everything else does... I think I'll pass, thanks.

[video]

[sfaccendato]

[sigh.] It really won't kill you if you're nice to it.

[video]

[usedagility]

Hey, I let it out, and look what it tried to do!
