Trail #10 - [Video/Action for route 37 / near Ecruteak]

[trailweblaze]

<sub>[Hello Johto! I suppose you're all fairly used to people getting their souls stolen by now huh? Well, Miguel isn't the most technology-savvy person on earth so he is blissfully unaware of what Shedinjas can do.]

[Which is why he dragged along Tulio to a nearby Route in order to look at them because Miguel is friend to all the animals Pokémons.]

[For the sake of why-the-hell-not he's also recording this, which basically means he turned on the 'gear and handed it to his Gabite. Said Landshark is for the record handling the 'gear fairly awkwardly, having no hands and all that.]

[What you can see at the moment is Miguel, dragging Tulio by his sleeve, and approaching a Shedinja. Whoops.</sub>

I don't trust them. They're CREEPY.

Oh but come one Tulio! Just one look! We've never seen these things before!

Oooh no. You're on your own, buddy.

<sub>[Aaaand while Tulio linefaces at a reasonable distance from the Shedinja, Miguel sneaks closer to it. And startles it. And as it flees, you all can guess what happens.]

[There's a pretty sickening thud as Miguel's lifeless body hits the ground, and the feed cuts out as the upset Gabite scrambles to his trainer]



(ooc: Blue is Tulio, Red is Miguel. Tags will come from Tulio (and a bewildered Gabite))</sub>

But it's -- gone- <sub>[Hands in face. This is too much. It's his partner.]

[Just give him a moment ... okay, trying to calm down and ask important questions.]</sub>

So, uh. _{[Vaguely gesturing here, but one hand on Miguel always.]} This happened to others? Right?

Ain't you seen all th'panickin' people an' stuff on this thing? Whole buncha people've been soul-napped.

[She can tell he's worried about his friend, though]

I'm sure someone knows how t'get him back.

[video]

[greatbigrock]

No, I was ... busy.

<sub>[Busy stealing things but yes, he's obviously worried. But then again, anyone in his position would be. Should be. Lots of worrying in Johto today - and ... well, since you can't worry too much ...]

[He takes another small moment here, chewing his lip before really regarding her for the first time.]</sub>

I hope so. ...thanks, I guess.

So you didn't run into one of these things?

I've been tryin' t'avoid 'em since I left New Bark Town. I don' like creepy little insects like that, an' I dunno what th'heck I'm doin' here anyway!

[video]

[greatbigrock]

You must be new.

_{[Excuse the sarcastic edge to his tone. He's not that bad deep down.]}

Sorry to say it, missy, but you're gonna be here for awhile, so you might as well get used to the scenery. Even if we don't normally have soul-stealing ghost-demon bugs floating around.

I've sorta figured that part out.

[She'll forgive him. His friend is sort of...well, soul-less. It's understandable]

I was startin' t'wonder why the heck all these creepy...things were around. Nice t'know they ain't normal.

[video]

[greatbigrock]

Well nothing here's normal, so don't start expecting it.

_{[So terse.]}

[daddydothis.livejournal.com]

Do people get turned int'frogs?

[video]

[greatbigrock]

Fr- no. What, do they were you're from?

[video]

[daddydothis.livejournal.com]

Once or twice, least that's all I've evah heard 'bout.

[video]

[greatbigrock]

Uh-huh.

_{[Despite the expression, he's just going to accept that. He's heard about weirder things.]}
