6th Joke - Video/Action for Rocket Base

[used_trick]

[Harley's looking sort of sad for once. Sitting on the edge of her bed in the Goldenrod Rocket lodgings, holding a baby Mareep in her lap. Her hair is pretty frizzed out, so it's pretty clear she hasn't quite sorted out the whole static issue that comes with the electric sheep.]

So I guess ya ain't allowed to keep more'n six Pokemon with ya at a time.

[This is very serious matter, obviously.]

I just wanted t' ask everyone, like the people that've been here a long time. How d'ya decide which ones to keep with you and which t'put in the computer?

I would think so. I mean it's not like they're starved for attention or anything when they get out. I dunno, they just don't give off a vibe of YOU LEFT ME ALONE IN THAT DARK BOX FOR AGES NEVER DO THAT AGAIN AAAAAA.

[John, stop flailing before you hurt yourself.]

[video]

[trailweblaze]

Yeah, same. I try to switch them around daily. I don't like having them cooped up in their Pokéballs for too long either.

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

...No, that'd probably just hurt the Pokémon too, right?

[Video]

[usedcharm]

I've noticed that, everyone's really nice.

[Not that she doesn't get homesick sometimes, but she's managing for the most part.]

It's pretty fun meeting people from other worlds.

[video]

[used_trick]

...

[Have a blank look for a moment, Robin.]

Kinda a silly way t'do that. Y'could still have, like, six super-powerful Pokemon.

[video] Late responses, wheee-

[used_trick]

I dunno, that seems like it might be unfair to th' new babies...

[If she had her way, none of them would EVER have to stay behind.]

'sides, I don't fight 'em too much unless we're trainin'.

Re: [video]

[used_trick]

Oh yeah, I only put 'em in the balls when I really got to.

[Because they are much tinier than the Pokemon and SCIENCE, HOW DOES IT WORK.]

...Y'think switchin' em out once an hour'd be too much?

[video]

[thetruehistorian]

Better six than a hundred or more.

[video] Don't worry about it

[chosen_light_child]

Yeah, I know what you mean. I don't really do much fighting unless we're training or travelling and get attacked by wild pokémon either.

And I don't really travel all that often either.

Re: [Video]

[used_trick]

Nah, we could get 'em all out first, I bet.

[It's just a matter of logistics, right?]

Re: video;

[used_trick]

[Congratulations John, your Muppet impersonation has managed to get Harley to laugh a little.]

I s'pose it couldn't be worse than puttin' 'em in the little balls.

[Mind, she doesn't like doing THAT if she can avoid it either.]

Re: action;

[used_trick]

It?

[Confused for a second.]

Oh! Yeah, I guess.

[She's done it herself a few times.]

Seems like it might get kinda chilly, though.

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

But then how would you get them out in the first place? Plus, how can you be sure if they're all out... Really, it'd just be a huge, troublesome mess.

[video]

[trailweblaze]

Possibly. I mean, I don't like having to put them in the box at all, but switching them out once an hour would be... quite a hassle for everyone, I think.

[extinguishescandles]

[All in a day's work!]

Nah, it's really not. Trust me, they aren't going to hate you for it as long as they get to see you every once in a while!

[bellyshirt]

In here? Nah. I don't know how, but the temperature stays pretty even.

[It's called air conditioning, Luke.]

Yes, [video]

[conduit]

Yeah! Exactly, like some sort of forcefield. If you have more than six pokemon, you can't past no matter what you do. Attacking the surroundings doesn't yield any result either. [ Johto science. It's weird. ]

Re: [Video]

[used_trick]

We'd just have t' get everyone organized first. It'd be difficult, but I bet we could do it.

Sometimes messes can be fun!

Re: video;

[used_trick]

Then I'll just have'ta make sure t' see 'em as often as possible.

[Implying she wasn't already doing that almost to the point of excess.]

Re: action;

[used_trick]

Well, inside, yeah. I meant more outdoors an' stuff.

[It's summer right now, but that's besides the point! Somehow...]

Re: [Video]

[used_trick]

They been real interesting, yeah.

[Sometimes it feels practically like home, only without the straightjackets.]

I'd like t'be able to visit their homes someday, but I guess this place don't really let that happen.

Re: [video]

[used_trick]

I s'pose so...

[Big, disappointed sigh.]

I'm just gonna have t'catch a few more so they're not lonely when I box 'em.

[Video]

[tearsofademon]

I... really don't think they are.

Re: [video]

[used_trick]

...What if ya didn't attack stuff, you just kind of... cut through the wall or somethin'?

[Trying to give this very careful thought.]

Re: [video]

[used_trick]

Yeah, I hardly been outta Goldenrod since I got here.

[Implying she was traveling through the rest of Johto BEFORE that...]

Maybe I'll just hang around the Center a lot in my downtime or somethin'...
