[the video comes on to show Neku standing around idly towards the edge of Violet. he isn't reckless enough to go out towards those crystals by himself, but he certainly will stand there and look at them. and because he's the worst bug catcher alive, there's even a concerned-looking Ekans next to him, only just in the bottom of the frame because it's. coiling around him a little. Neku is Pokébait.

he is also talking to it, because that coiling thing started when he turned the video on.]

Jeez, you're called Ekans? That's not even clever -- Quit doing that, I can't move.

[and then he speaks to the camera, what up Johto.]

So. Weird crap coming towards Violet, huh? Anyone past here seeing it too, or is it a one-way thing?

[pause. looking at this bizarre crystal shit.]

Uh. Is anyone - doing anything about this? I mean, I guess I'll help or...whatever.

[he moves to turn the video off buuuut comes back as he remembers something.]

Right -- Beat, Rhyme, you guys making it okay?

You don't have to say it.

Some people just don't know when to run from giant crystals, that's all.

... [ god Kanji please don't go whacking at them with a folding chair. ]

[ video ]

[imprinting]

You have to admit, it's not the most common thing to have to run from.

[ video ]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah, but if anything big and scary-looking starts growing my way, I wouldn't just stand there.

[ video ]

[imprinting]

... Point.

The people to worry about are probably the reckless ones, in this case.

[ video ]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

... That's a problem. I know a lot of those.

[ video ]

[imprinting]

... Yeah, so do I.

[ video ]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

... okay, so we're damage control.

Like taking care of those eggs, except with more running around getting in trouble.

[restardom.livejournal.com]

I-it's okay, Neku! They can't do anything too wild, right?

[ video ]

[imprinting]

I hope so. I don't really know how to get people out of crystal.

[ video ]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Melting them down probably wouldn't work.

[ video ]

[imprinting]

Yeah. The best bet's probably to crack the stuff if someone got stuck in it.

... Carefully.

[ video ]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

I guess the better bet's not to let them get stuck in it at all.

[ video ]

[imprinting]

Yep. As long as no one goes out alone, they should be fine, right?

[ video ]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Right!

[ ... and then Chie goes out. ]

[ video ]

[imprinting]

[WAY TO GO, CHIE.]

... Probably should figure out how to get rid of this stuff soon, though.

[ video ]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Do you know what's causing it?

[ video ]

[imprinting]

Nope. Are there Pokemon that...um, grow weird crystal stuff? Wouldn't be shocked if there was another swarm of something...somewhere.

[ video ]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Nothing I know about, but I never played the games. It makes sense, though.

[ video ]

[imprinting]

Me neither.

It's probably something like that. Shouldn't be hard to stop if everyone takes out a couple mystery Pokemon.

[ video ]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

We can do that! If I see anything weird, anyway.

[ video ]

[imprinting]

Good plan. As long as they're not really high leveled or anything. Then we might be screwed.
