004 | Goldenrod City | Video / Action;

[Well, Johto, in a slight change of pace, this video is not coming to you today courtesy of PhantomCam™; in truth, it's actually sort of more like Lady's-Paw-Landed-On-The-Record-ButtonCam™, and the accidental nature of the recording shows. The vast majority of the shot shows a tilted, haphazard view of a bedroom (a very neat bedroom, an observant viewer might note), and only a small sliver actually manages to catch Yagyuu, who appears to have set his backpack down on the bed and is methodically extracting the contents.

(Every so often, this view ends up marred by what seems to be a tuft of tawny brown fur, or the occasional pink tail feather.)

Yagyuu, however, seems reasonably oblivious to being recorded, his attention fixed on the series of items he's removing from his backpack, one by one: a notebook and pen, a novel with a slightly dog-eared cover, a roll of grip tape, a tennis racket that he places aside with the utmost of care. With an Eevee and what eventually reveals itself as a Pidgeotto bustling around on the bed, he's clearly not taking any chances that it might get damaged.

This patient, deliberate ritual of unpacking goes on in silence for a minute or two, Yagyuu still apparently ignorant to the fact that he's on candid camera, when at last something shifts: he reaches into the bag and his expression abruptly turns to one of surprise and mild disgust. And when he yanks his hand back out of it, a sticky mass of purple goop (which is now partially encasing his hand) comes with it.

Eyes narrowed, he gives his hand a rather adamant shake, but the goo doesn't dislodge; on the contrary, it spreads a little wider and smiles at him.

A harder shake. It remains unfazed.

And then at last, with a long-suffering sigh, Yagyuu turns away from the camera and stalks out of sight, footsteps firm against the carpet as he apparently makes his way toward the room's door.]


Niou-kun...

[The door closes (it's not quite a slam, but it is perhaps a little more firm than was really necessary) and the Pokemon on the bed begin to shuffle around, and somewhere in the commotion another paw hits the Gear and the feed ends.]

[he's just about to reply with something vague and fairly unhelpful, perhaps even in metaphor, when he feels it... climb.

he opens his mouth. closes it, and refocuses on the ditto with something like surprise. in hindsight, he should've realized that it would've been so forward, really. within a span of half a second, he feels the uncomfortable sensation of something shotting up his shorts, and. well.

an uncomfortable pause.]


No, now it's factual.

[...WELP. This entire scenario just got roughly a hundred times more awkward, only made worse by the fact that this is Yagyuu and Fuji, whose combined physical-touch issues could fill oceans.

...He's not going in after it. No, sir.]


Undoubtedly.

[He clears his throat.]

I'll-- [FLEE TO THE NEAREST SAFE HAVEN] --ah, step out and let you...

[...Yeah.]

[video]

And breaking and entering.

Is that really a strong point...?

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
A strong point doesn't necessarily have to be a positive one, you know.

[video]

[identity profile] restardom.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 12:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, right, that'd be more like a charm point.

[Fuji, for his part, blinks slowly, before getting up from his crouched position. there is a glint in his eye that promises terrible retribution if you even think of taking a step towards that elevator.

pleasantly.]


Leaving so soon? I don't think we [a pause, here, grimace, it's moving] are quite finished here.

[Yagyuu, your life is suffering.]

What did you do with it?

[video]

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[And thus begins another iteration of the intricate dance: scraping off the Ditto, attempting to escape...and making it roughly three steps before it's attached again.]

Charm isn't quite what I'd call it.

[That right there? That is a look Yagyuu has never seen in Fuji's eyes before, but it's one he recognizes--in that primal, instinctive way, like spotting the colors of a poison dart frog or hearing the rattle of a snake from far closer proximity than one is precisely comfortable with.

In retrospect, it's something he'll find intriguing and appreciate in Fuji. At the moment, he's working on studiously avoiding certain death.]


Do you really want an audience while you attempt to get rid of it?

[It is pain both exquisite and perpetual.]

I put it outside. If it's wild, it can be on its way; if it belongs to someone, they can retrieve it just as easily from out there as in here.

Audience? Oh, no. [smile, all teeth.] Audience implies passivity.

[0% to do with the prospect of your hands down his pants, and 100% to do with the fact that the last thing he wants right now is your ditto down his pants while you're behind a door somewhere giggling in the spirit of Schadenfreude.]

All's well that ends well. Did you catch the culprit?

[And you know, in the face of such a choice, death is almost starting to look preferable. Because there is no way in the entire world, ever, ever, that Yagyuu's hands are getting anywhere near the location of that Ditto at its current state of rest.

(For what it's worth, his hands wouldn't be going near it for anyone at the moment, even his own teammates. There are limits.)

Which means the only way to get out of this is by finding another way of getting that Ditto out of Fuji's pants, one without the necessity of hands-on interaction.]


Perhaps your high-powered hose will come in handy, after all. Drowning it out might suffice.

Aggravation?

[ ... hey, it's what Naoto would use. ]

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-08-01 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
Not as yet. Still, I'm sure it won't be long before he makes himself known.

[video]

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-08-01 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
That's closer.

[For the love of--it's on his leg--and we are kicking--]

[video]

[identity profile] restardom.livejournal.com 2011-08-01 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... wow, this is entertaining stuff. ]

Er, Yagyuu-kun... is this a bad time? Or if you need help--

[video]

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-08-01 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
...Just a moment.

[And he is setting the video down, preparing to wrangle this little ball of purple ooze, ready to show it who's boss.

About two minutes later, he picks up the feed again, and it's attached to his hand once more.]


I'm fine, thank you. Though it appears getting rid of my stowaway is easier said than done.

[video]

[identity profile] restardom.livejournal.com 2011-08-01 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
Wow... [ said with a slight headtilt and the innocent expression of an unknowing angel.

Really. Butter wouldn't melt in her mouth. ]
You don't see that kind of devotion that often, outside of movies and romance novels.

[video]

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-08-01 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
It's not devotion.

[Devotion is for things like tennis and captains and partners. Not purple masses of insufferable molecular ooze.]

Perhaps I'll have to try shutting it inside something.

[video]

[identity profile] restardom.livejournal.com 2011-08-01 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
... Like catching it?

[video]

[identity profile] usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com 2011-08-01 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
...Loath as I am to waste a Pokeball on a creature I have no intention of keeping, that might not be such a bad idea.

The one way to make sure it doesn't follow you is to keep it in the PC, so...
