Tenth Transmutation | [video/action for Shark House] These are not the Rockets you're looking for...

[armoredsoul]

[When Al flips the feed on, he looks rather perturbed. He opens and closes his mouth several times, trying to find a way to start this whole thing a few times before silent ly shaking his head and turning the Gear around.]

[On the lawn of a certain rowdy house in Goldenrod sands a lone Golurk of unusual coloring. It is waiting patiently, and from behind the screen Al gives a signal. For a moment, everything is still...and then something starts rumbling. The Golurk shakes as if something is rattling around inside until--]

[Lifdoff.]

[The camera tracks it's slow progression up and over the house, rising like some ridiculous mecha out of an 80's anime, before Al whips the Gear back around to his incredibly distressed face.]

Why can it learn Fly?!

[It's been two weeks and he is still not over this.]

That is going on my team.

[Video]

[armoredsoul]

Ehehe, it already is! This is what Golett evolve into. Yours will probably be different colors, though.

[Video]

[callbacks]

Yesssss, that's what I'm talking about. Can they carry people? Tell me they can carry people.

[Video]

[armoredsoul]

As long as they have the actual move Fly, they can. The Gym Leader that HM hands that out as a prize is out in Cianwood, though.

That's fine, it'll just be my first stop once this goddamn geologic age of frigid murder is over. I don't expect this almost tolerable spell to last.

[Video]

[armoredsoul]

Don't like the snow, huh?

[Al pauses for a moment, watching his Golurk land again with a frown, before he continues.]

You'd have hated this summer, then. We got a freak blizzard out of nowhere for a week in August. Actually, the weather had been all over the place that whole month.

[Video]

[callbacks]

Snow in August is unconstitutional. How does that even happen? Isn't this place supposed to be all, like, in tune with nature?

[Video]

[armoredsoul]

Most of the time, but then we've also had a tornado made of sharks before, apparently. I've kinda given up on making sense of a lot of things that go on here.

[Video]

[callbacks]

[A tornado made of sharks.]

...

Kind of almost sounds like home, except with less space travel.

[Video]

[armoredsoul]

[Okay, he has to laugh at that.]

Seriously? You've had weather with animals before back home?

[Video]

[callbacks]

Naw, nothing that weird, but we definitely had a lava tornado at least once. And someone's planet apparently had floating fucking brains everywhere? I don't even know, shit was disturbing.

[Video]

[armoredsoul]

...floating...brains? Real ones?

[Thaaaaaaat is a new level of disturbing.]

[Video]

[callbacks]

It's not like I went up to any of them to check, bro. I like poking dead shit, but I've got limits.

[Video]

[armoredsoul]

I--okay, that's fair, but...why brains of all things?!

[Video]

[callbacks]

I don't know, dude, it's not like he was even a Hero of Mind. At least the guy whose planet was all nastily awash in blood had the Blood Aspect to make it make some kind of marginal sense.

[Video]

[armoredsoul]

[Wait what huh? Is this more of that weird video game world stuff?]

Hero of...what do you mean by aspects? Is that supposed to be like Pokemon types or something?

[Video]

[callbacks]

[Dave opens his mouth to respond, but then closes it and thinks for a second.]

Kind of, actually. Though I don't think any Aspects were particularly effective or ineffective against each other. They were just kind of there.

[Video]

[armoredsoul]

Huh. What did they do, then? Were there powers attached, or was it just a title?

[Video]

[callbacks]

Yeah, powers were attached. My best friend was the Heir of Breath, which sounds pretty stupid but he could cause hurricanes and turn into wind and junk.

[Video]

[armoredsoul]

Wind? Wow, that's really awesome! What could you do?

[Video]

[callbacks]

[Ohhhhhh, does he have to do this.]

I had some time powers, I guess.

[Video]

[armoredsoul]

[Sorry, man, you got him curious!]

You're a time traveler? Or did you make it go slower or faster?

[Video]

[callbacks]

Time traveler's the closest thing. Mostly I'd go back in time in order to get things done within the unreasonable parameters we had to work with. I could do some other stuff, too, but I didn't really explore it that much.

[Video]

[armoredsoul]

[Wait, does that mean he had multiples of himself running around at the same time? Wow.] That sounds both incredibly useful and incredibly confusing to actually keep track of.

[Video]

[callbacks]

Eh, it was all right. It helped to have someone on the outside keeping tabs on the timeline for me. Otherwise I just kind of went with shit intuitively.
