[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?

2 pushed me in a lake the last time he wasn't okay with things. Fish -- hugs a lot.

[let's just not talk about Fish's penchant for HUUUUGS]

The rest of them are just normal. I figure if they cared they'd stop listening to me or something.

... hugs. [ sorry, Neku, she is envisioning this. ]

[ video ]

[imprinting]

Hugs.

[restardom.livejournal.com]

It could be worse? I think.

[ video ]

[imprinting]

I don't even want to think about something worse than a giant slimy blobby thing that likes hugging.

[ video ]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

A ten times bigger giant slimy blobby thing with spikes that likes hugging!

[ Rise is so helpful. ]

[imprinting]

Gee, good job.

[ video ] WHEN THEY'RE IN THE SAME TOWN :D

[restardom.livejournal.com]

You'll be happier when he hugs you now, at least.

[ video ] I CAN'T WAIT!!

[imprinting]

I think "less annoyed" is more accurate than "happier," in this case.
