oo2; Video/Action - New Bark

[papergrave]

[The screen begins feeding video, a happy little face the subject.]

"Brii! Togebrii!"

[Whoever this is, they seem quite pleased with the Pokegear. And then the video flips off. After a few moments, it's broadcasting again, same Pokemon, same happy squeals. And then off. And then on

[Holy crap that penguin parrot thing is freaking adorable and Lars kind of wants one. And then he remembers what happened the last time he tried to interact with a parrot and drops the idea.]

Hey, good luck with your trip! I'm heading to the same place; I'm about halfway there I think.

...Just stay the hell away from those ledges.

[Though his face is already bruised from a mishap with a tree branch a few days back, he looks like he has a new lump or two on his head. He holds up his free hand in emphasis; it's swollen and a pair of fingers are bent at odd angles.]

Trust me on this.

[papergrave]

[He cringes slightly at the sight and nods.]

Thank you for the wishes, and for the warning. If you don't mind my asking, how exactly did you get that from a ledge?

[Video]

[31stcenturyman]

It had some kind of weird force field around it. It was fine going down, but I tried to go back up after I realized I'd dropped one of those ball things at the top and I got shoved off. I kept trying to climb, but the harder I tried the harder it threw me back.

[papergrave]

[...that does not sound pleasant at all, and he will make extra sure to remember not to climb up those ledges. Thank you!]

That's odd. All ledges do that?

[Video]

[31stcenturyman]

Well, I only tried the one.

[Leia gives an irritated bellow off-camera.]

...Ok, so I tried more than one. It might just be this pathway, but from what I can tell they all do it.

[Video] LJ is really bad with notifications

[papergrave]

I will definitely keep this in mind then. Thank you.

[He is just going to pass over the confusion of "I don't remember my name, you can pick one if you like," and cut straight to the chase here.]

I don't believe we've met. I don't remember my name, but many people now know me as Gallahand. Alternatively, if there's a name you'd prefer to call me by, you are perfectly allowed to do so.

And you are?

[Video] I know! I went for two days without replying to someone because of it. D:

[31stcenturyman]

Most people call me Lars. Nice to meet you, Gallahand.

If you don't mind me asking: why so open-minded with the moniker?

[Video] Fff. :< Poor them.

[papergrave]

Mostly because I have no real idea on what to call myself. Gallahand is actually a name that was suggested by a friend in the midst of trying to find a name for me.

[He considers this for a moment, meanwhile Togepi is waving at the new man on the screen. So many new friends today. He is the happiest Togepi.]

It just sticks out the most when I think on what all he's called me I suppose. Aside from Imhotep and Ringo.

[Video] I caught it in the end, though, so it's all good! *keeping fingers crossed*

[31stcenturyman]

Good call. You don't seem too much like a "Ringo" to me. No offense.

So, you have amnesia or something?

[D'awww, he's even adorable when he waves. Lars humors him with a wave back.]

Hey there, little guy.

[Video]

[papergrave]

[And he is so pleased with a response!]

Yes, that's sort of how I felt when he used it. And yes, I do indeed suffer amnesia.

[Video]

[31stcenturyman]

...Oh. Sorry about that.

[Video]

[papergrave]

For what?

[Video]

[31stcenturyman]

Sorry that you can't remember anything. Or, um, most anything. I guess you can still remember stuff if you remember your friend with all his goofy names for you....

[Lars, just... stop digging that hole of awkwardness deeper.]

[Video]

[papergrave]

Well, to be fair I met him after I gained amnesia.

[It's okay. He doesn't really register awkwardness. You're all good, Lars!]
