FIRST ♥ VIDEO / ACTION FOR NEW BARK

[amiroll]

[Is Johto ready? Because there are two ladies on the gear today, situated in a very familiar place. The first girl, a young brunette, is staring down into the camera. She’s figured it out already. The second girl sits behind her on the porch of mom’s house, staring down at her own Pokégear. She has blue hair, and she presses a button every ten seconds or so, very slowly. She has no idea how it works. She’s the first to speak up.]

Are you sure this is a telephone, Futami-san?

Ne, Chihaya-oneechan! Ami knows it’s a phone, and more! It’s the key to our success!

[Chihaya stares down at her gear some more, then slowly looks up at Ami.] The key...? Is this supposed to unlock something, too? [Ami does a sagelike nod, as if she had all the answers already. In truth, she’s pretty much just improvising.] It’s our main menu! It’s necessary on our epic travels. Without it, how will we get cute alternate outfits?

What are you talking about...? [Her voice trails off as she reaches for her bag. Resting on top of it is a ridiculous pink raincoat. It doesn’t look like something Chihaya would usually wear.] Are you talking about this? [There are even boots.]

Ufufufu~ Of course that’s what Ami’s talking about! [Actually, it just kind of worked out conveniently.] Take a look at Ami’s! Super Sexy Style! [Ami fumbles into her own bag, whipping out a children’s play outfit, complete with a yellow hardhat.] E-Eh?! This isn’t sexy at all!

[Chihaya can’t help but snicker a little at that, quietly. Behind her hand.] I don’t think either of these outfits are very suitable, Futami-san...

No fair! Now Ami looks unsexy for the camera![Ami places her hands to her head, shaking it around indignantly.]

[Wait, what. Chihaya looks up at her, a bit horrified.] E-eh? Your phone is filming, Futami-san? P-please, turn it off! Does this thing even have a camera in it...?

Geez, Chihaya-oneechan, Ami didn’t know you were so bashful! It makes me wonder how you’ll react when you find the camera in your dressing room.. [And, with a mischievous cackle and one more horrified look from Chihaya, the feed ends. The cackle, however, lives on forever into eternity. ...Of course, the cackle might nearby for some. Ami and Chihaya are in New Bark Town. Ami can be found exploring the area around Chihaya with her Mime Jr., whereas Chihaya can be found seated in one place, trying to figure out her Pokégear while a Minun sleeps on her lap.. She’s not going to ask for help, but both are free to be bothered!]

If I'm not mistaken, it'd be rather inappropriate to set a camera in another person's dressing room, would it not?

video.

[amiroll]

It'd be more inappropriate to not give Chihaya-oneechan's fans what they wanted, super raw footage!

voice

[fonic_sight]

Oh? She has fans? [News to him.]

[amiroll]

Chihaya-oneechan has tons of fans! Ami bets it's over a million.

[fonic_sight]

I see. That is quite a few. Well, if her fans are into that kind of service, I'm in no proper position to stop you.

Hopefully they don't have her address as well.

[amiroll]

Yes! The only thing that can stop Chihaya-oneechan's fans is divine intervention!

Ami hasn't given them that yet. She'll wait until she has a billion hits on her website, and give it to the super special VIP members as a bonus goodie.

[fonic_sight]

I see. Well, hopefully the aforementioned divinity knows when to intervene.

[He pauses at that. A billion hits on her what?] Pray tell, what is a website? And why would one wish for so many hits upon it?

[amiroll]

A website is a personal old lady that tells fortunes and casts spells! They call her a website 'cause she's so old spiders make webs all over her! Super gross! The more hits she gets the more popular of a person you are!

[nemurihime]

Ami! [Oh my god, what did she just say.] That's not it at all. You shouldn't mislead someone like that.

[fonic_sight]

[What. Jade's honestly a little speechless at the concept itself, however fictional. But he gives a soft laugh.]

What an unorthodox idea.

[nemurihime]

It's not true. The internet...it's...[Actually, Chihaya doesn't really know either. It's just...there.] It's like pages that you can view on a screen...?

[fonic_sight]

Pages on a screen... Like a book?

[nemurihime]

The pages have pictures, too, I think.

[voice]

[nemurihime]

[Oh god, that's. That's not something she wants to talk about.]

I can assure you that Futami-san is only joking. I don't think she'd ever do such a thing. [Or so she's telling herself.]

[voice]

[fonic_sight]

I can only hope so, on her older sister's behalf. If not, then that would be quite unfortunate.

[voice]

[nemurihime]

Her older sister...? How did you know about Mami?

[voice]

[fonic_sight]

Mami? I was actually referring to the 'Chihaya' she was referring to. I wasn't aware of another one.

[voice]

[nemurihime]

That's me. I'm not her sister, though...that's just something she calls me. She has nicknames for everyone.

[voice]

[fonic_sight]

Ah, I see. A pseudo-sister. She must think rather fondly of you, despite her... pranks.

[voice]

[nemurihime]

Ah...I don't think I'm anything special. You'd have to ask her, not me.

[voice]

[fonic_sight]

Well, whether she does or not is not my concern, quite honestly. Although I do wish you the best of luck in keeping cameras from any dressing rooms. And on your three-day camping excursion as well, seeing as you'll probably need it there as well.

[voice]

[nemurihime]

Camping excursion? Do you mean...Route 29, by any chance? Have you been there?

[voice]

[fonic_sight]

I'm on that trail at the moment, actually. It's the path to the nearest neighboring city. Unfortunately, it is a three-day venture.

[voice]

[nemurihime]

I see. I don't think it will be any problem, but...thank you for the heads up.

[And then, just because she can.] Do you mind if I ask you something?

[voice]

[fonic_sight]

Certainly. And beware of the little critters roaming about. They're not particularly difficult but they are plentiful.

I don't mind at all. What is it?
