[usedlaserbeam]

[Greetings, Johto! This video is coming to you from some secluded part of the streets of Violet City, courtesy of PhantomCam™, and features one Yagyuu Hiroshi sitting comfortably on a bench beneath the shade of a tree, engrossed in a book with his backpack resting securely at his feet. Perhaps most notably, he's not wearing his yellow-and-black

video; forgive me, but Yagyuu needed to see this first.

[ The video opens to nothing but oppressive, shadowy purple, and a tiny (read: creepy) smile plastered to the screen. It recedes slowly, revealing Niou.

Niou is at a boutique somewhere around the city's main plaza, chatting with an employee. It appears to be a nail salon.... ]

- probably come in tomorrow; I dunno how long we're gonna be in Violet for sure.

[ While the employee is cheerfully informing him that her sister works at the salon in Goldenrod, Niou's attention is captured by the 'Gear, or (more likely) by the Ditto holding it. Annoyance flickers across his face briefly, but he excuses himself from the girl with a smile and goes over to pick up the 'Gear. ]

... Yeaaaahgyuu. [ A cordial greeting. ]

[ He chuckles. ]

Yeah, except for the cute part, you two make a perfect pair, too.

You'll have to be cautious, Niou-kun, or she might usurp even you someday.

[futariniousama]

Guess I'll just have to get cuter, huh?

[ He doesn't look worried in the least. ]

[usedlaserbeam]

Or grow a fluffy tail. I'm sure either would suffice.

Might have to steal an Eevee outfit from the cosplay café downtown.

[ He is so serious right now. So serious. ]

[usedlaserbeam]

There's a cosplay café downtown?

[Well, consider Yagyuu's painfully obvious interest pinged.]

video;

[futariniousama]

[ Oh, Yagyuu. Niou seems to find this even more amusing. ]

You're so cute. Yeah, there is.

[usedlaserbeam]

[His needs are simple, his interests...regrettably blatant.]

I wasn't aware.

video;

[futariniousama]

Well, yeah. If you'd known, you'd be there.

[ So totally making fun of you, here. ]

[usedlaserbeam]

[His cosplay fetish is not funny, okay. It's not funny. It's a perfectly legitimate interest and dammit stop snickering.]

Don't tell me. It's all Pokémon-themed, isn't it.

video;

[futariniousama]

[ Is any interest that Niou holds actually a legitimate one? Niou just thinks it's funny that Yagyuu's so eager. ]

Yep. Cute Vulpix and Eevee and Butterfree girls.

[In some things, he is the epitome of subtle. In this one...not so much.]

There's always a catch, I suppose.

video;

[futariniousama]

A catch? Dude, you should see these chicks. We should go.

[ So serious! ]

video;

[usedlaserbeam]

There's no escaping the theme, it seems. Right now?

[futariniousama]

[ A shrug. ]

Sure, it's not like you're doin' anything better, right?
