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.]

[...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]

Huh?

[usedroar]

[You bet it is.]

Don't see why she doesn't just use everybody else's...

[He grumbles under his breath.

[Because seriously, how could you have possibly gotten all of that out of only a few chirps? He doesn't buy it.]

[alwaysonline]

... you know. Calling, texting, gaming?

[usedroar]

Electricity...

Like lightning?

[Whatever you say, crazy talking rock.]

[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.]

[usedroar]

[WHY HELLO, HEATHER.

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

[Rolling his eyes.]

Gee, what was your first clue?

[divinewind]

Yes, like that! Only smaller and controlled.

[Yep, Kovu. You've got yourself a crazy talking rock made of lightning.]

If I may ask, where are you from, and what year is it?

[usedroar]

[Groaning.]

I was not trying to eat it.

[usedroar]

No, I don't know. What are you talking about?

[usedroar]

What year is it...? How am I supposed to know that?

I'm from the Pridelands.

[subtlecoruscate]

Why put it in your mouth then...?

[blazekick]

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

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

[divinewind]

[Oh. Well then. Temeraire tilts his head, curious. Maybe they don't number their years in wherever the Pridelands is.]

I am from England, where it is the year 1805. Although the place you and I are in now is called Johto, and it is 2013 instead.

Ah...and I am called Temeraire. What is your name?

[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?

[usedhex]

It's probably 'cause her beak doesn't work like our mouths!

[You sure do grumble a lot! Such a friendly dude.]

What's your name, anyway?

[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.]

[usedroar]

So?

[Never stopped Zazu. He rolls his eyes.]

Who wants to know?

[usedroar]

[Wrinkling his nose. What in the world is this guy talking about?]

It's Kovu.

...What do you mean the year 1805? Are you counting?

[usedroar]

I don't know, I was just--

[...]

Argh...What's it to you, anyway?!

[usedroar]

Well, not...that! This!

[usedroar]

[Her really wishes people would stop asking him that (because he really doesn't have a good reason).]

Just...forget about it! It doesn't matter!

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?

[foolishwren]

Well, gee, that tells me a lot.

What were you, raised by wolves?
