Fourth Eight8all[Video/Action for Goldenrod]

Oct 02, 2011 13:05

[Those who are familiar with Goldenrod and it's surrounding areas will notice that Vriska is just outside the city on Route 35. She's glaring down at the spider Pokémon who seems rather pleased with itself, and a female Nidoran lay unconscious beside it. Spinneret has just defeated the poor creature, but her trainer is not so happy with her.]Don't ( Read more... )

[Vriska, what is this? This is not how you train pokémon! SO DISAPPROVE.]

Okay, now pretend there's an eight in the word I'm about to say next. Congratulations! To both of you! [Because someone has to give that poor spider some genuine approval.]

[Have a triumphant grin John. Look what she accomplished. She got the blasted thing to evolve. Finally!]

Pictured with the eight in it's appropriate place. It's about time though! Seriously, I don't know what's wrong with her. Or maybe it's me? A part of my bad luck come back to haunt me for fun.

Nothing's wrong with either of you. Some pokémon just take a little longer to evolve than others. And I've heard that there are some who don't even want to evolve at all.

That's stupid. Evolving makes you stronger right? Why would you want to stay a weaky weakling?

[She just doesn't get that kind of mindset.]

Mmm...well yeah it does make them stronger. But not all pokémon like to fight either. So they don't necessarily have to be super strong.

Sure, I guess. Spinneret doesn't like fighting, but she's good at it. She just needs to get over this ridiculous nervousness she seems to have around other Pokémon. I'm hoping this evolution thing will fix that little problem of hers. At least Marquise isn't a problem, and neither is Cameron so far.

And of course Tavros is just as pathetic as pathetic can be. [Eyeroll]

Mmm well maybe the fact that she's bigger now will help. I can imagine lots of things would seem scary and make you nervous when you're a tiny baby spider.

Tavros is...your magikarp right?

video; hehehehehehehe... I mean... :D 8etterl8 October 6 2011, 17:23:21 UTC
Yep, Tavros is my Magikarp. He should be close to evolving too.

[She glances over toward the Ariados]

It better. She'd never make it as a troll this way. Young grubs have to go through trials. A lot of them don't make it.

I was about to say 'you've had him for a while haven't you?' I can help you level grind him later, if you want.

What are the trials, exactly? I don't think you or anyone else have told me about those before.

video; yes! 8etterl8 October 7 2011, 00:23:53 UTC
Level grinding sounds like a plan! [She grins. She'll be glad to, and John can make sure she's not too hard on the poor thing.]

As for the trials they're mostly dangerous and meant to sort the strong from the weak. The weak aren't needed in our society and are rooted out from the start. It's once you prove yourself in the trials that a Lusus actually chooses you.

I was chosen to feed mine.

Wait, wait. Hold on. From the start? As in right after you're born?!

[Isn't it fun having to relive old conversations with him, Vriska?]

[Oh all the time. She moves to lean against a tree]

Pretty much. We're born similar to one of your earth bugs, pillars or some dumb name like that. Not long after we cocoon in the caverns where we'll be expected to face our trials once we're done transforming.

Wow...that young? That's...

[He falls silent for a moment. What he's hearing certainly isn't all that pleasant, but it does explain a few things.]

I'm suddenly realizing that I never really stopped to think about just how different trolls are from humans. I always just kind of assumed there were just tiny little differences here and there...

Are you kidding!? We're waaaaaaaay different! We already talked about this once before in my timeline, and I know I mentioned it here too. I know it's something you humans don't really approve of, but for Trolls, violence and killing is a natural part of life. So we learn from a young age.

What's growing up as a human like anyway. [Best change the subject, away from killing.]

Oh, sorry. That must get really old, having to explain things to me twice. Eheheh...

But growing up human is... [He pauses, looking thoughtful for a moment.] well it's...um. I guess more than anything else, it's a lot of fun. At least for me it was.

It does, but I can deal with it. It's a thing that happens now.

Fun, huh. I won't say. mine wasn't fun. I had plenty of it. You should see my treasure hoards sometime. But it's a cut throat world on Alternia. Growing up human probably wouldn't have been so bad.

[She looks thoughtful as well.]
