四 [video, action for Cherrygrove City]
Mar. 23rd, 2011 10:50 pm[The Pokegear snaps on as Ken turns it to face one of his team--little Omi the Sentret, fresh from battle and starting to glow bright white. Ken's never seen an evolution firsthand before.]
I was starting to wonder who'd go first...
[As Omi changes shape, growing long and thin, and the glow beings to fade, Ken blinks at just how big he's getting.]
...bloody hell, I think he's longer than I am tall now.
[...and suddenly Ken gets a Furret to the chest and goes bowling backwards.]
Gah! Heh, congratulations, Omi. But now I'm not sure where you're gonna sleep.

Date: 2011-03-24 04:09 am (UTC)It's huge. Ken-kun...
[Togepi... Togepi not so safe a distance. He's elated and trots over to congratulate Omi himself.]
[action]
Date: 2011-03-24 04:13 am (UTC)[Omi, for his part, is happily talking away and nuzzling Ken's face. See, Mamoru, totally harmless.]
[action]
Date: 2011-03-24 04:24 am (UTC)[After having a few moments to adjust to the change in size, Mamoru moves in closer. Omi certainly doesn't look fearsome, but Mamoru still prefers erring on the side of caution.]
I wonder if any of your others will grow so large.
[action]
Date: 2011-03-24 04:42 am (UTC)[bounces slightly. This makes Ken go 'oof.']
[action]
Date: 2011-03-24 04:49 am (UTC)[Togepi watches Furret bounce on Ken and, in a moment of great epiphany, dashes back to Mamoru full of excitement. He chirps and frantically waves his arms about. Mamoru looks down.]
What's gotten him excited?
[action]
Date: 2011-03-24 05:14 am (UTC)[Omi-Furret has now let Ken up and is dashing around him in excited circles.]
...at least he got over his shyness.
[But he's going to be hyper as hell, isn't he?]
[action]
Date: 2011-03-24 05:26 am (UTC)I don't understand that.
[To Ken.] That's something. He's quite energetic now, isn't he?
[With efforts to communicate still failing, Togepi is now seeking Furret's help. Furret, help tackle a Mamoru so his Pokémon can tummy-bounce, too?]
[action]
Date: 2011-03-24 06:15 am (UTC)...what the hell are you doing, Omi?
[Too late there, Ken.]
[action]
Date: 2011-03-24 06:25 am (UTC)[Mamoru makes a valiant effort to back away but Omi's much too fast. He was never the best at staying balanced even without obstacles like that. Down he goes with a wince: whump!
Togepi cheers and thanks Omi in Pokéspeak. Before Mamoru can get back up, Togepi hops onto his stomach and tests it as a makeshift trampoline. Bounce! Bounce! Bounce!
...For whatever it might be worth to Mamoru in exchange for his dignity, he seems to be having the time of his life with it.]
[action]
Date: 2011-03-25 07:09 am (UTC)[Ken steps forward, but Mamoru was far enough away that Ken couldn't get over there in time to stop him from falling. At least the Furret looks a bit guilty.
...Ken's amused though, so he won't chastise the critter further.]
Looks like Omelette got an idea.
[action]
Date: 2011-03-25 07:32 am (UTC)It does seem that way.
[He pushes himself back up into a sitting position.]
Like children, aren't they.
[action]
Date: 2011-03-25 07:40 am (UTC)[Ken holds out a hand to help Mamoru stand, if he wants it.]
Sorry about that.
[action]
Date: 2011-03-25 08:53 am (UTC)It's all right. Somehow, I don't think it was Omi's idea.
[action]
Date: 2011-03-25 05:34 pm (UTC)[Omi stubs one paw against the ground sheepishly.]
[action]
Date: 2011-03-26 03:04 am (UTC)Mamoru decides to be a good sport and just smiles at Omi.] Congratulations.
[video]
Date: 2011-03-24 09:13 am (UTC)That's no great achievement.
[Darling disagrees and blows Omi a kiss. She is now both jealous for herself and thrilled for her friend. Youji softens the sarcasm a bit when he sees how pleased she is.]
Maybe we can rig a hammock across the room. 'Least you'll be warm now, hm?
[video]
Date: 2011-03-25 07:11 am (UTC)[oh hey this gesture is very rude in Britain. Looks like Ken's been picking up more than slang.
Omi, for his part, waves a paw attached to a stubby little leg at Darling. HEY LOOKIT ME I'M BIG NOW.]
Guess so.
[video]
Date: 2011-03-25 07:33 am (UTC)Seeing tiny, cute little Omi-Sentret turn into that great big squirmy Furret thing seems oddly meaningful, though.]
Was it that sudden with the other Omi, too?
[Darling glances briefly at the rarely-serious Youji, before going back to Omi.]
[Or, is Ken's tummy very soft? Is evolving fun?]
[video]
Date: 2011-03-25 07:44 am (UTC)Not really.
[Why do you keep asking these things, Youji. JUST BE BLISSFUL IN YOUR IGNORANCE.]
['Yeah, a lot of fun! ...and not really.' Apparently Ken doesn't make a good trampoline.]
[video]
Date: 2011-03-25 11:44 am (UTC)Be a little more transparent, won't you.
[Sorry, Ken. Youji is like a moth to the flame when it comes to things that are bad for you.]
Well. Who's next, Ran or Ratty, d'you think? I think I'll be... dismayed if Momoe or Darling get that big.
[Darling pauses upon hearing that.]
['Because his middle just isn't squishy.' Apparently Ken has some rock-hard abs. She discreetly points to Youji. He's very squishy. Come jump on him next chance you get.]
Re: [video]
Date: 2011-03-25 04:47 pm (UTC)Not talking about this right now, Youji.
[Mamoru's RIGHT HERE, you see. 8| Or you will now, since Ken's swinging his Pokegear around to make sure you know that.]
Dunno. Ratty seems to be taking his sweet time about it. Probably Ran.
[Omi seems to think this over for a second.]
[Hmm...okay, you hold him down though.]
[video]
Date: 2011-03-27 05:30 am (UTC)Mm, I get what you're saying.
[Leans back against a tree, all casual.]
Seen what it'll be yet?
[Darling looks from the Pokegear to the Youji and back again, before grimacing.]
[Then I should evolve soon, too...]
{Video}
Date: 2011-04-04 04:43 am (UTC)Congratulations, Ken.
