FIRST CURSE: video/action

public gear video - location unclear

Oh, hey! It did a thing!

[Two faces pop up on the screen, against a beautiful blue sky; the framing makes it clear that the Gear is on the ground, and neither of the two figures are making any attempt to frame their shot whatsoever. One is a young man who is smiling at his incredible achievement of turning on a Pokegear; the other is a rather exasperated-looking Vulpix. The latter reaches a paw out, puts it on the screen, and begins chittering to the human… who actually seems to understand.]

When the red light is on, it’s recording… okay, got it.

[The Vulpix squeaks again.]

“Say something”? Alright… [The young man rearranges his position in front of the Gear a little bit. One can see that he appears to be wearing purple-and-tan robes with really creepy eye designs on the collar.] Well, people in there, my name’s Henry and I’m from the country of Plegia! My interests include dark magic, nature walks, explosions, murders, explosions with murders— what?

[Henry looks down. The Vulpix can be heard screeching angrily, probably telling him to stop before he gets himself turned in to the police on day one. There is a short scuffle for control of the PokéGear; flashes of amber fur and claws can be seen, the audio becomes nothing but extremely staticky wooshes, and eventually the feed cuts out.]

[Good morning, Goldenrod Rocket Base. How’s your day been so far? Woke up, stretched a bit, eaten breakfast? Picked up the cup of dirty water that passes for coffee in this joint? That’s good. Everything you’ve just done is normal, and in here, normalcy is a valuable commodity.]

[A commodity that won’t last for much longer, because Henry the dark mage has just woken up in the building.]

[This morning, yet another Grunt seems to have joined the ranks. It’s a young man who can’t be much older than twenty, with snow-white hair and a standard issue uniform. ...Well, “standard issue” except for the part where he has some kind of cape thrown over it. (Uniform regulations? What uniform regulations?) By his side, a Vulpix is walking and grumbling bitterly, and if one looks closely they might see a Murkrow making herself comfortable in the Grunt’s collar.]

[He’s also going around touching things. The walls, the furniture, his Pokemon, your face…]


Ooh, your skin feels nice! It’s super soft!

[Look, just bear with him. He hasn’t had a working sense of touch for quite a few years.]

[Riku's eyes fly wide open, and he leans away from the camera.]

Wait, slow down. Are you saying that you have to let ghosts possess you?
islandshore: (unsure)

[personal profile] islandshore 2014-09-26 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
And you actually let a ghost inside you.

[Just... why? Why would anyone even--

Congrats, Henry. You've managed to creep Riku out. And that takes skill.]

[Must... not... wince. Must... not... squirm.

He manages to keep a straight face despite the twisting, churning sensation at the pit of his stomach.]


I don't call losing control fun. I heard I already have to deal with that in the future, so... yeah. Can't say I'm a fan.
islandshore: (unsure)

[personal profile] islandshore 2014-09-27 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
But if you're possessed, you aren't the one in control. That seriously doesn't bother you?

[...You got problems, man. Serious problems.]
islandshore: (o rly?)

[personal profile] islandshore 2014-09-27 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Then you should stick around for October. That's usually when we have our routine possessions, nightmares, freakish blocks of pixels... It's like a party that lasts all month.

[Except it's horrific, exhausting, and downright weird.]
islandshore: (Wow you're dense)

[personal profile] islandshore 2014-09-27 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[Riku stops. His eyes flick wide open, and he glances at the calendar on the wall.

And then he proceeds to rub his temple.]


Great. It actually is. Guess you're in luck.
islandshore: (Rival Riku wants to battle!)

[personal profile] islandshore 2014-09-27 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Right. I just can't wait to get haunted by ghosts, glitches, and quite possibly lose my soul.

[His voice oozes with sarcasm. Just... no. Not his idea of fun in the slightest.]
islandshore: (o rly?)

[personal profile] islandshore 2014-09-29 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, why stop there? We could go out on a dark and spooky night, sit around a camp fire with marshmallows.

[Given the way October usually goes, it... might fit as far as ghost stories go.]
islandshore: (yeah right)

video

[personal profile] islandshore 2014-09-29 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
So what next? Make a blood sacrifice? Swear eternal allegiance to our demon overlords?
islandshore: (... let's not go there)

[personal profile] islandshore 2014-09-29 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
But whose blood? Ours? Some random cow's?

[WHY IS HE ASKING THIS?

He's no even sure. Curiosity? Boredom? For what it's worth, he manages to keep an even tone.]

[ SORA IS STILL KIND OF. YOU KNOW. CREEPED OUT BY NEARLY LOSING HIMSELF, OKOK. ]

So you, like, get possessed in battle? How's that helpful?
