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.]

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.]

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)

[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.]

I... sure. You got me. Always wanted to embrace the powers of darkness.

[Little does Riku realize, there's something very ironic about this line of discussion.]
islandshore: (amused)

[You know, for as morose and macabre as this all sounds...]

Sure. Lecture me for all I care.

[It's new stuff from a new world... Can he really turn that down?]

Yeah, there's magic, and apparently I get pretty good at it. I'm just behind on the times. Haven't had the chance to see the future for myself.
islandshore: (unsure)

Huh. So dark magic doesn't have anything to do with shadows or actual darkness? Don't get me wrong, it does sound tough. It's just different than what I expected.
