Ninth Transmutation | [video/action for Safari Zone???] brb re-enacting first episode of Pokemon

[armoredsoul]

[The feed opens to a panning view from what could be a mountaintop if the plain below wasn't so close. There are plenty of Pokemon around, a few Geodude and Graveler rolling down the craggy hill and past a barrier in the distance a group of grazing Ryhorn and Tauros can be seen.]

[The camera turns around to Al's grinning face, a tiny little Aron perched cheerfully on his shoulder.] The Safari Zone is so awesome! I've never seen so many different Pokemon in one place, and the environments are amazing! If you've been wondering about coming, you should definitely check it out!

[He's about to continue before there's a sudden yelp and the sounds of rocks being dislodged by hasty movements, and Al looks over curiously.] Rin, what's going--what did you do?!

I didn't do anything! [Something brown and blurry shoots past, and Alphonse quickly takes off as well, the camera jostling before the feed cuts out.]

---

[A short while later another post goes up, this one shot from the inside of a small alcove of rock and showing Al, Rin, and the little Aron huddled closely together. Angry cries of 'Spear! Spear!' go off in the background, and neither boy looks very happy.]

Uh...anyone have any tips for getting a flock of Spearow to leave you alone?


( ooc: Al and Rin will be replying separately to responses! )

Dream monsters! You couldn't even be hurt by them!

[exeggutorhead]

They could hurt me in the dream! Have YOU ever been crushed to death? No? Didn't think so. It hurts.

A LOT more than just getting pecked by a bird.

[Clearly Al is the wuss here and not him!!]

[armoredsoul]

It's not a bird, it's a whole swarm of them! And I know what it feels like to get torn apart, so don't even start that with me!

[Al, did you forget this was public, or...]

[exeggutorhead]

I'll start if I want! If you were in that dream you'd have been crying like a baby!

I saw you in the haunted house last year!

[NOBODY IS THINKING ABOUT THIS BEING PUBLIC RIGHT NOW, LET'S BE HONEST.]

[armoredsoul]

That doesn't count, that's--you're supposed to get scared in those!

[BLOWS THE RECESS AIDE WHISTLE]

[foolishwren]

--WHOA, WHOA, HEY! HEY!

You guys!

AL, I didn't tell you that so you could use it as ammo!

[exeggutorhead]

[LOOK WHO IT IS]

[HE'S PRETTY MIFFED AT U RIGHT NOW HEATHER.]

Why did you tell him at all?!

[armoredsoul]

Heath--what--he started it!

[INSTANT LITTLE BROTHER DEFENSE]

[foolishwren]

<sub>[SHIT-- Envy's pissed and she doesn't exactly BLAME him, but...! HE WASN'T SUPPOSED TO FIND OUT.]

[SHE THOUGHT THAT WAS OBVIOUS. >8I]</sub>

--that's not impor-- ugh, I MEAN... Look, I'm sorry, Envy, I'll-- I'll tell you later, okay?

AL, I expected better of you! Honestly!

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy just grumbles something unintelligible under his breath and keeps on glarin']

[>B( HE'S NOT SPEAKING TO YOU RIGHT NOW HEATHER.]

[He only doesn't hang up right away because he wants to hear Al get in trouble.]

[armoredsoul]

[Oh goddamnit WHY IS THERE NOT A BAN OPTION ON THESE THINGS. ENVY GO AWAY.]

I wasn't--I--what was I supposed to do, let him keep laughing at me over this?

[foolishwren]

<sub>[8( SORRY ENVY.]

[But as if to make up for it... yes Al, you are ABSOLUTELY about to get in trouble in front of Envy.]</sub>

You could hang UP. Or make fun of him for something ELSE.

You know, other than sensitive information!

_{[SHE'S GETTING THE SENSE THAT ENVY IS NO LONGER THE ONLY ONE TO BLAME FOR THEIR CONFLICTS.]}

[armoredsoul]

[Why him...]

That's hardly sensitive information, just embarrassing!

[HE HAS DONE HIS BEST TO AVOID ENVY OKAY. HE MAKES AN ATTEMPT.]

[foolishwren]

If it's something you can use to make fun of someone you hate, it's PROBABLY sensitive information.

I'm disappointed in you.

_{[AND SHE'S ALSO CHANNELING HER FATHER RIGHT NOW.]}

[armoredsoul]

[Wow, look at all this sliding down the cave wall and sulking like the teenager he is that's going on.]

Could make fun of him for the stupid pajamas he probably wears, that's not 'sensitive'.

[exeggutorhead]

[UM EXCUSE U]

I don't wear stupid pajamas!

Yours probably have kittens on them or something, that's what's stupid!

[armoredsoul]

[RUDE]

Kittens aren't stupid, they're cute!

[foolishwren]

_{[Oh my god.]}

--oh for fuck's sake, are you two FIVE?

Al, Envy's allowed to wear whatever pajamas he wants.

And Envy, you're not helping!

[exeggutorhead]

Well maybe I don't want to be helpful.

[GRUMBLE GRUMBLE click.]

[Al got his wish, Envy has left the call!]

[armoredsoul]

[THANK FUCK]

Never said he wasn't.

[Now that Envy's out of the call he is more shamefaced, though.]

[foolishwren]

<sub>[>8( GOOD, HE SHOULD BE!]

[Once Envy blips out of the call, Heather heaves a sigh and fastens Al with her best I'M NOT MAD I'M JUST DISAPPOINTED face. She's not nearly as good at it as her dad was, but the apple honestly didn't fall too far from the tree.]</sub>

Al.

[armoredsoul]

[Al sinks a little lower in frame, guilt showing on his face.]

You know how he pisses me off. It just came out.

[foolishwren]

I know, but c'mon, dude.

I shouldn't have to explain why blurting out something that was told to you in confidence is a bad idea, right?

This is etiquette 101, here!

[armoredsoul]

...m'sorry.

[About all that can be said, now.]

[foolishwren]

--All right, well... don't do it again, okay? Sheesh.

I need to go smooth down Envy's ruffled plumage.
