used_trick | 1st Joke - Video/Action for the Rocket Base

Hiya everybody!

[Johto, have a perky blonde woman leaning way too close to the Pokegear camera.]

This place is lotsa fun so far! I dunno who got the music goin', but he must be some kinda genius cause I ain't seen a speaker ANYWHERE.

[Harley settles back, revealing a red and black spandex outfit. She's taken off her mask and headpiece for the purposes of talking over the gear, but she's much more comfortable in her costume than the Rocket uniform she was given.]

Oh! And I gotta new PUPPY! C'mere baby!

[Harley leans off-camera for a moment; there's a sound of yipping and a brief struggle. She pops back up, holding the world's surliest Poochyena up to the camera.]

Ain't he just adorable? Just like a mini-version of the babies back home. SAY HELLO, STAN!

[The Poochyena looks like it would rather be anywhere else in the world, and squirms in Harley's grip. She just pulls it back from the camera, hugging it and resting her chin on top of its head. Stan makes a noble effort to bite her, but she remains oblivious.]

Oh! Anyone know if Mistah J's shown up yet? You can't miss him, he's tall and dreamy and always laughin'. I dunno how long I been gone from Gotham, but he's probably worried so I'm sure he'll show up sooner or later.

[So Robin is just kind of staring, because she is like no Harley is has ever heard about, appearance-wise. Way retro. Way...not his Harley Quinn. But hey, the chances of her being a Rocket are high, which means they will most likely be working together!

Great.]

Harley?

_{[HAVE A MIGHTYENA. Totally scrutinizing the Poochyena all critically. Hmph. To imagine she was one like that. So puny.]}

It's not going to stay like that, the novelty of this place tends to wears off pretty quickly.

[Though people like Harley can make it all the more interesting, for this little brat.]

Oh, hi! ...Do I know you?

[Robin sounds sort of familiar, but nothing she can immediately place. But who cares? Someone from home!]

Ooh! Did I hold ya hostage once or somethin'? I meet a lot of people that way.

[Marceline comes in letting her hair down from its Rocket standard issue ponytail. She notices Harley after a second and grins.]

Hey, you're a newbie, right?

You're Harley Quinn, right?

[Maybe she was a different Harley, maybe he was totally mistaken and didn't, for one reason or another, end up running into Joker's right hand woman. That would be nice, even if he seriously doubted it.]

[Harley gives an enthusiastic wave back. Questioning how something without opposable thumbs managed to work the Pokegear is not something that even crosses her mind.]

See Stanny? Someday you'll be all big 'n strong like him.

[In about three levels or so, but she'll have to figure that out on her own. Stan just squirms some more in her arms.]

"Chye-"

That's okay, I can usually make my own novelty!

[Though with a whole new world full of super-powered plush toys and its own soundtrack, she's not likely to get bored quickly.]

That's a good attitude to have, I guess. For me this place isn't exciting enough for me.

[Harley bounces upright with a huge grin, releasing the struggling Poochyena. Stan bounds away to a corner of the room with a sharp woof that probably translates as: "FREEDOM."]

I just woke up here, if that's what ya mean. This place is really neat, with the music and all!

[Watching the little dog flee to the corner makes her laugh.]

Yeah, it's not so bad. I like the music. I'm thinking of writing songs to eventually.

You HAVE heard of me!

[First she gets a new puppy, now she meets a ~~fan~~ ~~former hostage~~ person who knows her and isn't trying to cart her off to Arkham again. The day just keeps getting better!]

So who're- no, wait! Don't tell me, I wanna guess.

[Her face scrunches up in concentration for a moment as she inspects Robin's face over the gear.]

You're-! ...Nope, I got nothin', sorry.

You just gotta know how to MAKE it exciting! It's easiest with explosives, but sometimes ya can get by with a mallet.

I wish, this place takes anything it considers a weapon or harmful from those it drags here. Though you can get a pokémon to cause major damage to people and places but it's just not the same.

I would have been fine without weapons but this place put limits on all my abilities too.

Ooh, that'd be fun! We could have a music night or something!

[There's a short moment in which her enthusiasm transitions to mild confusion for the first time since waking.]

...Where are we, anyway?

[He just kind of waits, seeing if she gets it, if she notices. When she doesn't, though, he goes through the slight dilemma of if he tells her or not. Maybe not yet.]

Let's just say I'm a...former associate of yours and Mister J.

Oh, you didn't get the rocket guys telling you all about it as soon as you woke up?

[She shrugs] I guess we've been transported from our world, to this world, called Johto. The little creature things are Pokémon, and they're kinda a big deal here. People train them and battle them and stuff.

Team Rocket steals them.

Hi! The music is nice isn't it? I know some people seem to complain about it but I like it.

Oh, you know puddin'! Is he here?

[There's a second or so when her elation crashes headlong into what Robin specifically said. It's a bit like watching a train wreck.]

Wait, I don't remember Mister J ever hirin' any kids. What's your name?

Aw jeez, not even a rubber chicken or something?

[That is totally a legitimate weapon.]

Abilities? Like you can't play the piano no more or something?

[And now she's just sort of confused. 'Super powers' she's familiar with, but 'abilities' is sort of nebulous.]

If you're going to attack someone with it, nope. Though you're welcome to try that might be funny to see.

[He used yo-yos before, impractical weapons are the best kind.]

No, more like my speed and strength aren't what they have use to be. Plus I can't even do my minor body modifications.

[He can do more but it's best not to mention the other stuff to random people.]

I found a handbook thingy, but it was all kind 'blar blar blah'.

[And then she found the Pokeball, and that took precedence.]

So we're in a whole other world like Wizard of Oz or something? Wow.

Yeah, they recommend you read that handbook, but I just kinda skimmed it. Can't say I know what the Wizard of Oz is though.

_{[Oh she might as well not try to think about it - just know that the Mightyena somehow totally started the video function, accidentally or otherwise, just to 'murrrrrrr' quietly at the little one on the screen.]

[..in a sec, though, there's some scuffling and "give that back", and have Tulio on the feed this time when he takes it from Niña, looking down a frown and then oh, it's on- OH, you have one of those, lady!]}

Ooooh I'd let him go if I were you, those things bite. Hard.

I know! It's kinda computer-y, but it's all so happy an' cheerful!

[Harley might know the word 'synthesized', but the music sounds like it's being played by a computer program so that's how she describes it.]
