[The video flickers in amidst the rain and it seems that Kamina is outside in a tall tree. The expression on his face looks like he's bored half to death and while Gurren can be seen curled up beneath his cape
( Read more... )
[Here is Gene, swimming in the water. He is wearing nothing but goggles and a blue speedo. Enjoy. He looks up to see a person in a nearby tree. Not a bad idea.]
[Kamina glances down into the water to see the the guy swimming there. For a moment, he looks utterly dumb-founded. At least he's dumb-founded enough not to go off on his usual shouting tirade.]
Who the hell are you?
[Cause he doesn't really recognize Gene when the guy's not green, water-logged and in that weird get-up.]
[Yeah, there recognition kicked in. Still, he couldn't quite fathom why anyone would want to swim in this flood -it was the coldest freaking thing he'd had the misfortune of feeling in his entire life!]
How the hell can ya swim in somethin' so cold?!
[Immediately his hand reached out to pull Gene onto the branch.]
[Figuring he's seen weirder getups than this, he gives a shrug as he leans back against the trunk of the tree.]
Cyan-wood? What're you lookin' for there?
[Of course, the fact that Gene was actually moving forward toward what he was looking for sure beat that weird girl that chose to wait for what she was looking for. That kind of just 'sit around and wait' attitude just always pissed him off.]
Melfina. A close friend. She... disappeared. I'm not sure what happened, but she vanished in a cloud of smoke. She's in a city on the other side of Johto. They wouldn't charter me a boat to get there, so I'm going to the next town and see if they will.
[Gene took a moment to look out over the flood, taking a few deep breaths.]
A lotta people I know ended up in weird places while I was teachin' Gurren an Aqua Man some new moves.
[He scratches his chin a little as he thinks things over for a moment. It was one of those odd things that he'd just started doing a little while ago back in his world and he only started up again the other day. It was mostly realizing that thinking and then hitting something with the combined force of him and his Pokemon's hot-blooded fury did even crazier things than just hot-blooded fury alone!
Anyway, he gives a nod and offers Gene his usual smirk.]
Then that does it! I'm on board for that! Ain't right for a man to leave his friends hangin'!
[Kamina hesitates a moment, glancing into the water and then at Gene. Nevermind names at the moment; because while it seemed that Arceus had the good nature to somehow make a guy like him literate before dropping him here, the deity-Pokemon didn't see fit to teach him to swim.
And so far, Kamina's experiences with deep waters generally left him flailing to stay afloat or sinking like a rock. Thankfully, the fruit of his training in the woods prior to all of this rain ended up giving him a solution.
He offers his new traveling compatriot a smirk.]
You're gonna need to keep up with me[He puts his fingers in his mouth and gives a loud whistle. There's a stirring beneath the surface of the water. A row of deep emerald fins crests the flood waters before vanishing below once more
( ... )
[He gestures to Aqua Man to follow the freaked out Gene and while the Pokemon seems a little put off to follow the command, it seems at least generally obedient to its trainer and makes good speed after him.]
Oi! It's just Aqua Man! I told ya about him before!
[Action] It kinda reminds me of those cartoons where you see the char swimming away from a sharkdefiantstandJuly 10 2010, 07:22:25 UTC
[There's a huge number of reasons why Kamina's not freaked out by the massive sea serpent he's riding in the least. First off was the rather convoluted story situation that it evolved under. Secondly... well, when you've stared down a three or four-story giant robot with just the nodachi in your hand and the hot-blood in your veins, there's really not much that does faze you.
In either case, he bellows a laugh as he gives Aqua Man a gesture to slow down near the terrified swimmer.]
HAHAHAHA!
Relax! Aqua Man ain't gonna fight anyone I don't tell him to!
[He pauses for a moment before just pointing the Gyarados toward the next town.]
We'll head this way! I'll guess that wherever this town yer girl's in is past Violet!
Huh? Uh? Someone in that tree?

[Gene swims up and grabs onto a low-hanging branch, looking up. With his free hand, he pulls the goggles down to around his neck.]

[Gene accepted the hand and hoisted himself up onto and adjacent branch.]
I can't stay in that town. I gotta get moving and figure out how to get to... Cyan-wood. Wherever that is.

[Nevermind Gene doesn't use his name, or ever stay and chat. Then again... her's in a hurry. Gene jumps back into the water and begins to tread.]
Coming?
