three diamonds ♦ video/action for ponies

[notafussbudget]

[ The video opens, not in Rarity's hands, for once, but her Bellsprout's. The room is in even more of a state of chaos than usual, with Rarity pitching clothes every which way and alternately packing and unpacking her backpack. ]

Bell!

[ Rarity looks up very suddenly. ]

Oh! Thank you, darling.

[ She goes back to throwing things. ]I, ah,

[HI RARITY HAVE A CREEPY PURPLE BALLOON TAKING UP YOUR WHOLE POKEGEAR SCREEN]

Something like thiiis~?

[a voice inquires. It...may or may not be coming from the balloon in question, but probably not as it blinks it's beady black eyes once and then the camera pans out to show it in it's entirity. A somewhat-clueless Drifloon hovers there, peering at the camera-holder curiously]

[notafussbudget]

... Is that a balloon? [ She blinks and peers closely. ] How darling!

What is it called?

[usednihihi]

[aww, not quite the skeeved out reaction she was hoping for. Can't win'em all, though. She seems just as happy to prattle on about her pokemon, though!]

*I* call him Combustion. He's a Drifloon! Ghost/flying pokemon, prefers damp weather, 0.4 meters in height.

[As she rattles off his data, Combustion continues to hover there, seeming unbothered...and eventually drifts off to the side a bit to pick up a piece of paper from the floor with it's long string-like appendages to delicately examine it]

[notafussbudget]

[ No way. Balloons are cute! ]

A Drifloon... [ She watches him thoughtfully. ] Do they evolve?

[usednihihi]

Nihihi, of course!

[The camera jostles as there's the sound of a pokedex making the low-toned beep of scanning a pokemon it already has data on before a slightly-pixelated depiction of a larger balloon with ruby eyes and shorter arms is shoved into view of the camera.]

They turn into this eventually~ I can hardly wait!

[The camera finally turns on it's owner, a red-eyed girl with cropped blue hair wearing a slightly-unsettling grin]

Nyeeh, so how about it? Wanna what happens when Napalm and Combustion are combined?

[notafussbudget]

[ Rarity brightens at the larger balloon. ] That looks absolutely perfect!

[ If she knew what Napalm actually was, she'd be horrified at that question. As it is, she's just quizzical. ] Napalm?

[usednihihi]

[Hearing it's name, a purple blobbish pokemon oozes up 410's pantleg and sort of globs onto her arm, staring at Rarity curiously]

Napalm! [she grins, holding out her arm for Rarity's inspection. The Ditto gives a blank sort of smile and then transforms it's upper half into a reflection of Rarity's head]

[notafussbudget]

[ Rarity goes a little wide-eyed. What the f- ]

I-I... wh-why are you... combining them... ?

[usednihihi]

Nyeh? How else am I supposed to breed them?

[She has been waiting FOREVER (a couple weeks) to put on her breeders' pants and try this out. Napalm reverts back to it's former shape oozing over 410's shoulder to have a look at Combustion before changing itself yet again.

There is now a second drifloon. Sorta. It has a decidedly-derpier face]

[notafussbudget]

O-oh... [ Wait, is she supposed to watch? How... awkward. She clears her throat slightly. ]

Well, I... I don't need to see it, I imagine... but if you wouldn't mind breeding them for me, that would be appreciated.

[usednihihi]

[The camera hesitates and then obligingly moves away from the drifloon and sorta-drifloon to focus more squarely on 410 herself once they're out of shot.]

Nihihihihi! Your loss. I think it'll be enlightening. You gonna come pick it up in Cherrygrove, then~?

[notafussbudget]

Oh, yes. We should be there in just a few days; you don't mind holding onto it until then, do you? [ This is her pretty please face. ]

[usednihihi]

Of course, of course! I don't THINK they're supposed to explode or anything. They--

[she pauses, glancing off-camera, and then her expression becomes one of indignation]

YOU GU-UYS!!! [wtf, you two. Seriously. Wtf. The camera view pans over to show three eggs sitting beneath Combustion, Napalm already back in it's "casual outfit" and oozing back across the room. Neither of the pokemon seem any worse for wear]

I MISSED it...!! [HOW IS SHE SUPPOSED TO UNDERSTAND HOW THIS WORKS IF SHE CAN'T OBSERVE THE PROCESS?]

[notafussbudget]

[ Rarity blinks at the eggs. ]

Oh, my... that was... rather fast. [ She can't say she's sorry she missed it, either. ]
