1st spear thrown: [Video In which Nephenee somehow managed to figure out the journal stuff...sorta

[shysentinel]

[After many hours of trial and error, Nephenee finally figured some of this strange place out. The one thing that was still giving her trouble was the computer. How did the magic lighted box work, anyhow? In any case, she managed to at least get the video going. Too bad she hadn't a clue how to use it...

Have a confused looking soldier staring at you, folks.]

Uh, I guess this thing's workin'? I suppose I should say somethin'...

Um, m-my name's Nephenee. I just got here from Tellius.
This place is so big and different... I ain't sure what's what, even.

[annnnd she has no idea what else to say]

[Okay Goose, you officially are cool now. She's not near so nervous now that she knows you're southern stock too]

Yep, Nephenee. Good ta meet ya, Goose! I'm from Tellius myself, born and raised in Ohma village. My folks live in Melior now. Where's this Holiday Island? Her first kiss already I mean

[SCOOOOOOOOOOORE. He likes being cool. Always.

Enjoy your goose stock, Nephenee.]

Never heard of this Tellius, but I ain't heard of most places people here are from anyway. Holiday's about an hour away from here. Ain't that far.

[Man she could go for some soup wait not that sort of stock]

Took me bout a day walkin to get here. Guess it ain't too far either. What's it like?

Re: video

[badasscopters.livejournal.com]

[JUST SORT OF `u`]

Holiday's kinda tropical. A bit of tropic, a bit of Southern country 'round the southeast corner of the island. That's where I come from, that village. The flight club I used to work at's just around the corner from there, too. Always watched the gyrocopters land there as a kid, heh.

Re: video

[shysentinel.livejournal.com]

[Wait what. Cue confused face]

Flight club? You don't look like a laguz... Gyro...what?

Re: video

[badasscopters.livejournal.com]

Gyrocopters? They're kinda manufactured flying machines or... somethin' like that. Flight club's where novices train to be pilots and work as pilots. Pilots? We're people who can fly with machines.

Now... what's this Laguz crap supposed to be? [ALSO CONFUSE.]

Re: video

[shysentinel.livejournal.com]

Oh wow! People have figured out how ta fly where you're from??

Um, I guess the best way to describe em is a group that can shift from human to animal form. There's some bird and beast ones.

Re: video

[badasscopters.livejournal.com]

Really, eh? Those don't sound too bad. We've got things kinda like 'em here. They're Pokemon. You'll see a lot of 'em.

[He leans forward, elbow on his desk. He seems interested in this girl.] And as for flying, they sure have. It's our way of combat.

Re: video

[shysentinel.livejournal.com]

How do you fight in the air? You ain't got claws, do ya?

...Pok...ay...mon?

Re: video

[badasscopters.livejournal.com]

Nothin' like that. We use missiles. They're kinda pieces of metal that can explode and pack a punch.

Pokemon. They sound like these 'laguz'. They're animals and they change into people. Kinda crazy stuff.

Re: video

[shysentinel.livejournal.com]

...Wow. All we got like that are spears and arrows and siege weapon stuff. What makes 'em explode? Magic?

Yep, sounds like our laguz alright. They birds or beasts?

Re: video

[badasscopters.livejournal.com]

Gun powder. Explosives. It's pretty simple stuff, kid.

Some are birds, some are beasts. They can be kinda different.

Re: video

[shysentinel.livejournal.com]

Huh. I don't think we used that sorta thing in war.

Do ya know any that maybe ya could introduce me to, so I can meet em?

Re: video

[badasscopters.livejournal.com]

I know plenty. My fiance even trains 'em.

I should introduce him to ya. Maybe he can show you his Pokemon.

[shysentinel.livejournal.com]

I'd love ta meet em.

[Wait a minute...]

video 2/2

[shysentinel.livejournal.com]

[...He said 'he'?]

Your fiance's a guy? I didn't know ya could get married to another guy or gal like that.

Re: video 2/2

[badasscopters.livejournal.com]

Sure can. It's kinda common here.

Re: video 2/2

[shysentinel.livejournal.com]

Not where I come from. It's kind of secret I think. But as long as ya love each other that's what counts, right?

Re: video 2/2

[badasscopters.livejournal.com]

Good knowin' people think that way. That's the right way.

Re: video 2/2

[shysentinel.livejournal.com]

Love's love.

So ya fiance has pokemon?

Re: video 2/2

[badasscopters.livejournal.com]

Yep. He's a gym leader. That means he's one of the best of the best.

[Not that he wants to brag or anything.

Actually, I lie, he does want to brag.]

Re: video 2/2

[shysentinel.livejournal.com]

...Gym leader? What's that?

Re: video 2/2

[badasscopters.livejournal.com]

The strongest trainers in a region or somethin' like that. Something about a Pokemon League or something, but hell, I ain't the kinda person you should be asking. I... oughta ask Matt more about that kinda thing.

Re: video 2/2

[shysentinel.livejournal.com]

So...like a king or village elder?

Re: video 2/2

[badasscopters.livejournal.com]

Not... really.

You oughta ask a gym leader about it then. If you ever see, say, Brock, Lt. Surge, or someone like that around, give 'em a holler. They'll explain it.
