Search Twenty Two: Someone has a horrible sense of humour | Video (Action for Mahogany])

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

[The camera is low to the ground and shaking slightly and it's clear after a brief shot that there are Pokemon doing things they aren't supposed to again/Playing with the camera and pretending to go on an adventure with it. Apparently they felt the rest of you had to go along as well Route.

If you watch the somewhat shaky cam you can see a small group of pokemon a. climbing things b. taking turns poking a Pidgeotto or c. running away from the Pidgeotto. Eventually however they'll come across their trainer who is sitting in front of a table. Very quietly they will sneak up on him.....

Harry Mason is looking a little troubled today. It might have something to do with a vial of strange red liquid that's just sitting in front of him.]

....why now of all...

[One of the pokemon moves slightly and Harry turns frowning and then reaching over for the camera.]

Give me that.

[And the camera is shut off.]

[A minute later, you'll have it turned on again and an awkward Harry rubbing his head.]

Sorry about that. ...I'll have to keep the gear out of their reach in the future ...er Happy New Year.

[And with that he'll turn the camera off. You may have noticed the vial of strange liquid suddenly out of the shot the second time but hopefully not.]

[Action: Any of the travel group is free to find Harry just looking over the vial, trying to figure out why the hell he has this now. Though only Heather probably can tell what it is.]

[crackpotcrocker]

Yes.

[Denzel remarks rather bitterly. Remember me, Harry?]

These 'devices' seem to find the most inappropriate times to turn on.

[Denzel exclaims and does a slight twitch on Pokemon.]

Nice bird-type - POKEMON! You have there, yes.

[There's a small evil nerdy chuckle following.]

Happy New Years... I suppose.

[Video]

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

[Oh it's that strange man he met a few months back. Harry nods a little absently.]

Thanks, her name's Cybil. She's one of my newest and probably the only serious one of the bunch.

[His pokemon are children.]

I hope the new year has been treating you well.

[Video]

[crackpotcrocker]

[Denzel gives a small wave back with just his fingers. He still rather appreciative about what happened a few months ago and this other man wasn't all that bad, right? After all they brought up supernatural on their own and didn't ditch Crocker about fairies.]

I see. Where did you capture her?

[There is something about dogs, birds and spiders that Crocker is rather fond of. However, Denzel replies in a mumbling response.]

I actually can't complain. The end of the year ended better than I expected it too.

[Before his vocal returns to usual.]

What about yourself?

[Video]

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

She's a gift from my daughter actually. Last year's Christmas.

[Mentioning his daughter perks him up a little.]

I'm glad to hear that.

Me? It's not bad. Still a little strange to think another year's past here. But I suppose I'll never really get used to that.

[Video]

[crackpotcrocker]

[Ouch, the daughter appears to strike a chord with Crocker and his frown digs deeper into his brow and mouth.]

I see.

[Crocker remarks in bitterness and jealousy before being picked up somewhat with 'glad to hear']

Oh! Thank you.
[Even if the 'thank you' sounds a tad awkward was that the right social remark?]

How many years have you been?

<sub>[It's around lunch when Henry comes stumping back into the hotel room with his camera around his neck. He's patted down his clothes as best he can in order to get the smoke smell out. He likes to think it helps.]

[He notices adopted!dad over by the table looking less cheerful than usual. Henry places his bag down by his sleeping spot and ventures over.]</sub>

What's that?

[action]

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

[A lot less cheerful actually. He doesn't look up for a moment then sighs. He looks tired.]

It's called Aglaophotis. I found it inside the pokeball after catching one of the red nosed pokemon.

[action]

[no_ufo_ending]

Aglaphotis...

_{[What a mouthful. Henry walks up behind Harry's chair to get a look at the red stuff but doesn't invite himself to sit down.]}

That doesn't sound like a god thing.

[action]

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

.....it is ....and it isn't.

It helped save the world twice though. So I suppose there's that.

[His voice switches from numb to frustrated]

I have no idea how they found it here though....I had to search everywhere to even find the smallest-!

[He sighs and runs a hand through his hair.]

Sorry, I know I'm not making much sense. ...I don't like it just showing up like this. Anything associated to that ...town showing up here.

[action]

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Henry has never seen Harry this frazzled. His brows peak up in worry.]}

I'm sure it...it's just a weird thing. That kind of thing happens a lot, right?

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

[Mysterious vials of red liquid? That catches Envy's attention, even if it was only onscreen for a short time. He hasn't seen anything like that in the stores here, and it looked a whole lot like the incomplete Philosopher's Stone substance from his world.]

Pokemon can't ever seem to stay away from the 'Gears, can they?

[Casual, casual, casual! Better to lead into questions about strange red substances this way. He recognizes Harry as Heather's (and Henry's) father, but it's not like Envy's ever talked to him much.]

[video]

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

[Totally casual. Nothing suspicious here at all. Harry just looks really tired all of a sudden, but he attempts a smile.]

No, they seem to like an audience when they show off it seems.

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

And it's always time to show off.

[Now he lets some of his curiosity show through, but he's still being very nonchalant about it.]

What was that vial you were looking at? It doesn't look like something from the shops here.

[Video] really sorry for the wait.

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

[Nonchalant is totally fine. Harry can do it too...only a lot more tired and probably failing.]

Huh? No, no it was from home. It was in one of those reindeer like pokemon balls when I went to open it again.

[Video] it's okay!

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy does notice that Harry looks tired, can't hide much from him. But he decides not to point it out.]

I see, I see. It just looked a lot like something important from my world, that's why I was wondering.

[Action]

[foolishwren]

_{[As is fairly usual these days, despite the frigid weather, Heather's been out and about. The sound of the door opening and boots being kicked off signal her return.]}

I'm back, Dad.

_{[She heads over to the mini-fridge in the corner and pulls out a bottle of water before strolling over to the table... and inevitably catching sight of the 'gift' her father has received.]}

... Wow.

Talk about deja vu.

[Action]

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

[And speaking of deja vu, your dad looks pretty worried that its shown up.]

Or something like that.

This is what I found after catching one of those red nosed pokemon. .....I have no idea how they managed to find it.

[Action]

[foolishwren]

_{[.... <8I Yeah wait till she shows you what SHE got.]}

... Well... it wouldn't be the first time we got stuff from home...

_{[Shoving her hands into her pockets, she scuffs her heel on the floor.]}

I've still got the Seal of Metatron... from when Vincent left.

[Action] really sorry about the wait

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

[He nods at that.]

No. There's just ...something I don't like about the whole thing.

They pull things like this into this world....who says they won't accidentally bring something worse next time.

[Always worrying.]

[Action] it's okay!!

[foolishwren]

<sub>[She doesn't have a comforting answer to that. Because she's thought of that, and it scares her.]

[So she just heads over and wraps her arms around his shoulders from behind, resting her head on top of his.]</sub>

[ video ]

[imthe_shit]

You'll never be able to keep it out of their reach. They always find a way to get their damn paws on things... Even the ones that don't have opposable thumbs.

[ video ]

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

[He attempts a smile. But he's a bit distracted.]

Yeah, I suppose that's true. They're pretty clever when it comes to finding it.

[ video ]

[imthe_shit]

[ Snake can tell by his expression that something's on his mind. He had no idea what the red liquid was... thought it better not to ask really. ]

You're in Mahogany, right? I've seen you a few times, but we've never spoken. [ At least, he didn't think so. ]

... I'm Snake.

[ video ]

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

[He nods. He's not the greatest at this social thing but he tries]

No I don't think we have. Heather's mentioned you a few times though.

I'm Harry Mason.

[ video ]

[imthe_shit]

[ So this was Harry. Snake gives him a bit of a smirk. ]

Don't listen to everything she says; I'm not that bad of a guy.
