fourth joke; video/action for Goldenrod

[joxertheawesome]

[ The feed opens in not Marco's hands. This is immediately apparent, since Marco is sitting on the back of a cheerful-looking Venusaur. He waves at the 'Gear. ]

'Sup, Johto. Check out this badass. [ He points to the beast beneath him. ] Pam evolved a few days ago. This is why Bulbasaur is the best starter. Charizard and Blastoise are like fat,

I assume that you are using sarcasm again. What is a super potion? Does it taste good? [Stupid backwards nonsensical fictional technology, but you are Ax's bitch now. HAH. Filtered feeds for the win!]

[joxertheawesome]

Good assumption. And I wouldn't know, Ax-man. Super Potions are for your Pokémon, not for you.

I'm guessing someone kind of filled you in already?

[ilovemyorifice]

[For Pokemon, not him. Right. He'd try to remember that.]

I spoke with two people that were helpful. Claire and Dale Cooper. I like these names. They are enjoyable. Claire, Kuh-layer informed me about Hyperbole.

[joxertheawesome]

[ Claire and Dale Cooper. Marco makes a note to apologize to these people later. Possibly anonymously. ]

Hyperbole? She informed you about exaggeration?

[ilovemyorifice]

[More sarcasm, or perhaps just flat out teasing. They are technically different concepts and yet more or less the same when one is referring to Marco.]

My Abra, not to be confused with a bra.

[joxertheawesome]

[ Oh, he named his Abra 'Hyperbole.' ... Of course he has an Abra, since Marco spent weeks catching those things. ]

Yeah, you really don't want to make that mistake. ... Do you even know what a bra is?

[ He's not sure which answer would be more alarming. ]

[ilovemyorifice]

[Our money is on the affirmative.]

Yes. They are sold at a place called "Victoria's Secret", though it does not seem to be a very well kept secret. Humans are very confusing.

[joxertheawesome]

[ Marco closes his eyes for a second, then opens them quickly, before he can start trying to figure out where Ax came upon this piece of information. ]

So very confusing. Anyway, how're things going for you? You, uh. Having any trouble with the wildlife? [ Suddenly, Marco realizes that starting with a level five Abra would probably be the most obnoxious thing since the iMac. ]

[ilovemyorifice]

[That's okay. Ax is just going to stare at you while you recover anyway.]

I have been attacked twice, but I remembered what the "officer" said and have not attempted to eat anymore of the Poke-ee-mon. They do not taste very good anyway. Hyperbole does not seem to enjoy fighting very much, however. He teleports-- tele, tell-EE-ports. Ports, pooooooooooooorts. It is most bothersome. He seems to be a young child still.

[. . . Speaking of children.]

[joxertheawesome]

Yeah, Abras like to do that. You might wanna catch something else to fight with on the way here. Your Pokégear has a Dex function that - you've probably already seen, huh?

[ He laughs. ] This technology's crazy, right?

Video; [[Private]]

[ilovemyorifice]

To put it mildly. How it is even possible that it is functioning properly is amazing. ZZZZZZZZZZING! Zzzzz! The Poke-ee-balls are of particular interest. Seeing it in person is much more interesting than seeing it on your television program. Even though your father happened upon the concept of Zero-space and was able to recreate the device I did not think that they were capable of such technology.

[joxertheawesome]

[ Yeah, that was basically exactly what - wait. Wait, what? What?! ]

What? What? What did you even just say?

[ His dad and Z-space should not even be in the same sentence. ]

Video; [[Private]]

[ilovemyorifice]

[Ax stares, but this stare is surprised, then hesitant. It's not suspicion, not of THAT kind like with poor Claire and Cooper, it's just--]

You do not recall? Your father and I reconstructed the Z-space transmission device. We had just made contact with the Andalite fleet before I woke up here. [And now Ax is staring at Marco in concern.]

Video; [[Private]]

[joxertheawesome]

[ Holy Christ. Why is this not even completely unbelievable? Marco doesn't really find himself skeptical so much as uneasy. The sensation of being a little misaligned with destiny, or something stupid like that. ]

Uh, yeah, I... don't remember that at all. ... Are you, like... from the future?

[ He's not sure what it means if the answer is yes. There's a point in the future where his dad helps build a Z-space transmitter and they contact the Andalite fleet? Does that mean the war's gone public? Does that mean it's almost over? How far in the future is this? ]

[ilovemyorifice]

[A long pause, Ax is wrestling with something, be it how much he should divulge or what exactly could possibly explain this situation-- it's unclear. He resolves that the only way to find out is to try.]

It seems improbable, but it is possible, more so if you do not recall these events.

[No, no, that's not entirely true, is it? Because Marco was still present in Ax's timeline. How is it possible?]

What is the last thing that you recall from while we were on Earth?

Video; [[Private]]

[joxertheawesome]

The very last thing? I went to sleep. But if you're looking for notable events - [ He halts a moment in thought. ]

The meatpacking plant. Where they were testing that... free-will drug.
