The 1st Roar | Accidental Video / Action for New Bark Town

[usedroar]

[It wasn't that his PokéGear was looking particularly tasty that afternoon, nor was it giving off any significantly threatening sort of air...

[No, twas curiosity that caused the cat to chomp down on his hard metal device, succeeding only in unintentionally beginning a broadcast and scaring the absolute piss out of himself.]

What the--!

[Yup. That shiny rock you just bit sure did just make a sound, and now that you've pulled it far away enough from your face to see what's going on on its screen, you...

[...yelp like a little cub and chuck it across the way!

[Goooood going.]

<sub>[WELLP THAT SURE WAS SOMETHING FLYING THROUGH THE AIR ALRIGHT]

[And Skipper instinctively ducks to avoid it, but she soon redirects her eyes to where it came from.]

[And dude, what.]


[... just.]


[Have her stare for a moment before she'll go and pick your 'gear up, Kovu.]</sub>

[usedroar]

[Whoops. Almost took out one of those weird monkeys with that scary rock, didn't you, big boy? Can't really bring himself to care at the moment, though. A little too freaked out for that.]

Hey, you better watch out for that thing!

[Why? He doesn't know, it made a sound, okay? And rocks don't do that.]

[alwaysonline]

<sub>[Watch out for it? Well, duh, when it's hurled towards you like that, then absolutely - but come on.]

[Having retrieved it, Skipper holds it up as if showcasing it. ... Her Porygon is slowly hovering up to her side, too.]</sub>

It's a cell phone.

_{[SHE HAS NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.]}

[usedroar]

Huh?

Action

[usedhex]

[Is that guy about to- yes he is. Huh. What did that poor little red thing ever do to him?

This guy watches the whole scene from a few paces away and laughs when the device goes flying.]

Nyahaha! [He walks over, a large, fluffy bird sitting on his head.] You all right? Did it bite you back?

Re: Action

[usedroar]

[Guess who doesn't appreciate your laughter!

[Have a glare.

No.

...I'm fine.

[Just a little...confused, overwhelmed...

[Startled. That's all...]

[usedhex]

[Guess who doesn't look fazed in the slightest by that glare!

Have a smile in return.]

Why'd you yelp and toss it, then?

[The bird flutters up off of his head and over to the poor gadget.]

[usedroar]

I didn't yelp, I just--

[Grumbling.]

What's it to you, anyway? I don't even know you!

[And he'd really appreciate it if you'd leave him alone to be embarrassed and confused now, kthx.]

[divinewind]

The Pokegear is not food, you should not try to eat it.

[Temeraire is actually trying to be helpful; he had no idea what the 'Gear was when he first arrived either.]

[Video] Sorry for the edits alskfjaf orz

[usedroar]

[Oh God, the rock is talking now. He can hear it from where he is! It takes him a few minutes to to recover from the shock before he very cautiously ventures over, crawling on his hands and knees since he has yet to figure human legs out.

[A few minutes after your message and he'll be hovering over the device on the ground, eyes wide.

[It's got a face now?!]

What the...

[Video] it's okay!

[divinewind]

[He smiles encouragingly. This man seems to be having a lot of the same problems he did when he first arrived.]

Don't worry, the box is perfectly safe. It is like a letter, only it arrives right away and you can see the person on the other side. [He pauses.] Or like a telephone, if those have been invented yet where you are from.

Are you all right?

[usedroar]

A what? H-how are you talking to me?!

[Sorry, Mr. Rock, but lions don't use letters or telephones.]

[Video]

[su6tlecoruscate]

[Wow...]

...there is a lunch box in the bag if you're that hungry...

[usedroar]

[Oh great, his rock is talking again.]

What--

I wasn't trying to eat it!

[He was just...investigating. Investigating through...biting.

[He's a goddamn lion, okay? Give him a break.]

[subtlecoruscate]

Why put it in your mouth then...?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

<sub>[WHY HELLO, KOVU.]

[It's been a long time.]

[Also, that shiny rock is about to talk to you in the dulcet sarcastic tones of a girl.]</sub>

Wow.

Did you seriously just try to bite your PokeGear?

[usedroar]

[WHY HELLO, HEATHER.

[He has...no idea who you are.

[Rolling his eyes.]

Gee, what was your first clue?

[foolishwren]

_{[THAT'S QUITE ALL RIGHT, because to be frank, she doesn't know who he is, either. Might ring some bells once he's introduced himself, but... well, it's been a long, long time.]}

A nice view of the inside of your mouth got me headed in the right direction.

_{[Of course, she's seen plenty of critters-turned-people who are confused by the 'Gear (among, you know, other things), but usually they don't speak in perfect Human.]}

What did you think was gonna happen?

[video]

[blazekick]

[...Wow um, what? Hello Mister Lion, meet a girl who is still not used to this place turning animals into humans, so that is all kinds of confusing reaction from a human.]

Okay, I get why my polar bear dog would want to eat it, but...

[usedroar]

[Groaning.]

I was not trying to eat it.

[blazekick]

[She'd chuckle, but something tells her not to.]

Sure looked like it. So, what were you trying to do then?

video; icon credit to tothe_slaughters @ LJ!

[angerpoints]

[... UHHH, did this guy just...?

... yup, it - definitely looks like he did. WELL THEN. Guess that puts Yusuke out of the running for "most interesting intro video". Anyway, have this face peering out at you from your rock, Kovu:]



... did you miss breakfast or something, man? I dunno what made you think your 'Gear was digestible, but there should be some snacks in your bag if you're that hungry.

[NICE MOLARS, THOUGH. Very clean-looking. Yusuke shall cherish that image of them for the rest of his days.]

1/2

[usedroar]

[Alright, if one more person asks him why he was trying to eat his PokéGear...]

Argh...I was not trying to eat--

2/2

[usedroar]

[...wait a minute.]

...my what?

video; oh, stephen strait, you are such a babeasaur.

[angerpoints]

Your 'Gear. That thing you just tried to swallow. What, you deaf, too? What else would I be talking about?

[Oh, please, Yusuke. Like you didn't do the "what?" thing, too, when you first got here.]
