02 - video/action for Violet City;

[waypastcool]

[The feed opens with Sonic chilling around Violet City with his Pokémon team, which now consists of his fanged Sneasel, a Furret, a Jolteon, and now a Quilava. Yes, Sonic's that type of trainer who lets his monsters hang outside the ball all the time.]

You know, a ton of people are freaking out over those new Pokémon, but I don't see the big deal. It's just something new to catch, right? Besides, they're pretty cool lookin', if you ask me. I've gotta get my hands on one of those ghosts!

Anyway, I'm looking for a headcount. How many of you guys were something besides a human before you got here? Doesn't matter if you're a pony, monster, whatever. I'm just wondering who else is in the same boat as me.

'Cause, trust me, I used to look way cooler than I do now. Check it!

[He pulls out a random piece of paper with a doodle. Sonic isn't the most talented artist, but with his ego, he can do an... adequate scribble of himself. Just enough to get the point across.]




One more thing before I forget: Anyone else wind up with someone else's Pokémon? This is the second time it's happened to me now.

[And with that, he shuts off the Gear, tucks it in his pocket, nad proceeds to go grab a quick bite to eat... which for Sonic amounts to about six chili dogs. Feel free to bump into him around town.]

[Skeptical Ed is skeptical.]

I talked with one guy that said he had been a dragon where he was from. I didn't take him seriously.

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

And why not? One of my pals back home is a dragon.

[fullmetalbro.livejournal.com]

Dragons and talking animals don't exist where I'm from. though, now that I've been here a while, I guess it's not too far-fetched.

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

It's the other around on Mobius. There's barely any humans around. I've only ever met two of 'em.

[fullmetalbro.livejournal.com]

What happened that there are so few humans?

[attrites.livejournal.com]

Wait, wait. So you were... that blue spiky thing before. And now you're a human?

[ what is tact?? ]

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

Blue hedgehog, but ya hit the nail on the head. This human form's nothin' compared to the real me.

[attrites.livejournal.com]

Don't hedgehogs usually have four feet and no hands...? [ ... he's not even gonna try and breach the question of "how did that transformation happen?" ]

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

Not on Mobius, they don't. Mobians are totally different from regular animals.

[Midori waves.]

Hi again Sonic! You... weren't human before? That's pretty cool!

[video]

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

Not just cool. It's way past cool.

The ol' hedgehog body's for more than just looks.

[video]

[pokemondolly.livejournal.com]

What was it like, being a hedgehog?

[video]

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

Way better, if ya ask me. I'm a lot faster, and if I had the ol' juice, I'd be able to run laps around Johto faster than you can blink!

Not that I've got anything against humans. It just ain't me.

_{[Heather's squinting at the drawing. ... And looking at Sonic. And then squinting again.]}

... That doesn't look like a hedgehog.

_{[WEREN'T THEY LIKE... LITTLE FAT BRISTLY THINGS? ..... or were those woodchucks. Heather's no animal expert.]}

[Video]

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

And that's what I like to call a Mobian hedgehog.

Am I cool or what?

[His ego. Taste it; he's very proud of his natural appearance.]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

I dunno if cool is how I'd put it.

_{[She tastes it, all right.]}

So what do HUMANS look like over there if hedgehogs are so different?

[Video]

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

I've only ever seen two of 'em, and they weren't easy on the eyes. There's Snively, who's this scrawny guy with a huge snoz. He looks like one ugly bird.

Then there's Robotnik. He's fat, bald, and that ol' cone-head's got a crazy mustache.

And their personalities ain't much better.

[Though they've been travelling together for some time now, Silver's still very much uncertain around the other former hedgehog. He watches the video feed go by on his Pokégear, noting that this Sonic did look slightly different than the one he knows... if the drawing was near accuracy, before shutting it off and going off to find the other male.]

You look like you're enjoying yourself.

[He raises an eyebrow at the chili dogs, but otherwise doesn't comment on them.]

action;

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

Yo, Silver! Why don't ya come join the party?

[He holds out a chili dog.]

I've got a chili dog with your name on it.

action;

[kineticjustice.livejournal.com]

Tch. [His facial expression looks a little skeptical, though his intention was to join Sonic in the first place.

When he's offered the chili dog, however, he just stares it for a moment.]

No, that's okay. [Silver's never seen something like what was in Sonic's hand and didn't plan on digesting it without first knowing what it was. Not that was going to voice that aloud.]

action;

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

Aw, c'mon! You ain't lived 'til you've had a chili dog.

[He grins. Come on. Isn't that chili enticing? And the cheese, the onions... Mmm~

Look, even Sonic's Pokémon are chowing down!]

[usedslam.livejournal.com]

Whoaaaaa... what WERE you?

[ Someone's impressed, at least. Shooter's still in awe of anyone who used to be something other than human. ]

[ video ]

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

A hedgehog! A way cool hedgehog.

[ video ]

[usedslam.livejournal.com]

No way, hedgehogs don't have hands! Or pointy feet. I think.

[ video ]

[waypastcool.livejournal.com]

Pointy feet? Those are my sneakers, man!

And trust me, back on Mobius, it's not just hedgehogs that have hands.
