2nd Joke - Video/Action for Rocket Base

[used_trick]

[The Pokegear is on its side, at an awkward angle -- Harley doesn't seem to be aware that it's filming. She's happily dancing around a large, bushy Christmas tree in one corner of the room. Said tree appears to be holding roughly three times its own weight in lights, tinsel, and candy-canes, and Harley's adding more to it. She's singing quietly under her breath; careful listeners might pick out the lyrics.]

[Stan the Poochyena can barely be made out on Harley's bed. He's looking more resigned than usual and gnawing disconsolately on a large candy-cane, a massive red and green bow tied around his neck. A Koffing occasionally floats into view, wearing a Santa hat and apparently okay with that.]

[Harley tops off the tree with a surprisingly-simple star and flops back on the bed, dislodging Stan with a yelp. She picks up the Poochyena, who makes a half-hearted attempt to bite her face off, apparently more out of habit at this point than anything.]

We got a tree, Stanny!

[She's obviously very happy about this. It's been a while since she's been able to have an honest-to-God Christmas tree.]

Whatcha want for Christmas? You been a good dog, so I'm gonna getcha somethin' nice.

Thanks! It's been a real long time since I got one, so I'm puttin' all those years a decoratin' on it to catch up.

[snapandscoot.livejournal.com]

I almost forgot christmas was right around the corner! Thanks for reminding me!



Ah, is that your Pokemon? Sorry, I only got here a few days ago! A Stanny, did you say?

Re: [video]

[used-trick.livejournal.com]

Oooh yeah, it's been SO long you got no idea.

[Sitting up and giving Stan another squeeze. The Poochyena sighs in resignation and continues gnawing on the candy.]

Sometimes I'd get ta' hang decorations up at home, but it just ain't the same without a tree, y'know?

Re: [video]

[used-trick.livejournal.com]

He looks cute in it, doesn' he?

[There needs to be a reason other than this?]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

... Whoa.

You sure that tree's gonna stay up?

[video]

[foreveraclone]

Not really.

Re: [Video]

[used-trick.livejournal.com]

Yup! Ya think I got enough lights up?

[The tree is currently managing to cast significant shadows off the room's other furnishings.]

Re: [video]

[used-trick.livejournal.com]

Do I know you?

[Wait, she feels like she's had this conversation before...]

Oh, you from Gotham?

Re: [Video]

[used-trick.livejournal.com]

Sure! It's a tree. Trees can stand for YEARS.

[And this one isn't even out in the woods with the wind and storms and stuff. Obviously much more stable that way.]

[Video]

[usedstarpunch.livejournal.com]

That's, uh...that's some tree ya got there. S'nice. Real cheerful n' stuff.

[used-trick.livejournal.com]

Ooh, that'd be AWFUL if you forgot Christmas! It's like, the best time a' the year!

[Harley picks up Stan and holds him up to the camera.]

Yeah! His name's Stan. He's a poochie-hyena!

Re: [video]

[used-trick.livejournal.com]

You don' think so?

[She looks over her shoulder at the Koffing.]

But he looks so HAPPY with it...

Re: [Video]

[used-trick.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Took a lotta work, but it's worth it.

[She's very proud of this.]

Ya' think there's enough tinsel an' stuff? I could get more.

[ have a 13 year old girl staaaaaring at this "tree". she's never seen one of these before! ]

So that's what a Christmas tree looks like? It's huge!

[VIDEO]

[sadisticwarfare.livejournal.com]

[That... has got to be the cutest Koffing he has ever seen. Good job, Harley!]

You certainly seem excited.

[Hmm, that room looks rather familiar... The Rocket Base? Well, it's better not to ask about that right now.]

Oh hey, cool tree. Cool song too. I've been learning some of these Christmas songs.

Re: ( video )

[used-trick.livejournal.com]

Yeah, this was the biggest that'd fit through the doors. Back home there was some that was even bigger, too.

[You have not seen a Christmas tree until you've seen a tree almost as high as the building housing it.]

Wait, y'didn't have Christmas trees back home?

Re: [VIDEO]

[used-trick.livejournal.com]

Of course! It's gonna be Christmas soon, and I gotta tree for the first time in YEARS.

( video )

[abdications]

No, we didn't! We had something like it, called a behemoth leaving. Every troll's lusus would bring one and place it in the hive as decoration.

We don't call it Christmas, either! It's called 12th Perigee's Eve.

Re: video;

[used-trick.livejournal.com]

Oh, hiya! Christmas songs are some a' the best, aren't they?
