[The Pokegear is turned on, and the first thing you see is a full body shot of Minnie, dressed up like a Christmas Elf. She sounds positively cheery, holding the Pokegear up and gesturing in dancing motions.]Happy Holidays, everyone! Have I got a special treat for you! It just so happens that a good friend of mine arrived in Goldenrod for a little ( Read more... )

It's just like any other day in the Breeding Centre: Merlin wakes with the dawn, putters about in the kitchen with tea to wake himself up, then starts checking up on the pokemon. Just like usual--or so he thinks.

As he's passing through the front hall, there's a woosh of something in the air that makes the picture frames he'd so carefully put up ( Read more... )

[It's a close up view of a desk's surface that first greets the viewers, coupled complete silence...or as much silence as you could have with the Goldenrod background music playing. Then, a sigh, and the sounds of nervous shuffling reach the Gear just before it's flipped right side up to show Merlin's face.]

All right. [He takes a breath, eyes ( Read more... )

October's nearly over, huh. It's strange to think in week, I'll have been here for an entire year. Somehow doesn't feel like it's been that long, even if a lot of things have happened since I first got here.

[His fidgeting is accompanied by a pensive look down at the desk he's sitting at, but he quickly loses it and a bright, open smile takes its ( Read more... )

Despite Merlin's ability to take almost anything life threw at him and simply roll with the hit, routine had always been something of a comfort to him. It kept his hands busy and his mind free to wander as he wished, to quietly contemplate all that weighed on his mind. Recently, those thoughts had been occupied by his closest friends in Johto and ( Read more... )

Sooooooooo. [See that grin, Johto? Obviously, someone--namely Merlin--is up to something.] Ahem.

You know, we moved into this house about a month ago, but the walls are still sort of...empty. I thought you guys might appreciate it if I did some decorating.

[And now the video shows what is apparently the inside of the Breeding Centre...except the ( Read more... )

[A colourful, tranquil scene greets those watching this video feed: a brightly lit tearoom, with two Kimono Girls performing on stage as the others continue greeting guests. The pokemon holding the Gear pans in for a close-up of the ( Read more... )

Does anyone-- [When Merlin first appears in the screen, he speaks quickly, not even bothering with a greeting as he usually does. His gaze flickers to something off-screen constantly even as he speaks. To anyone observant, his face is practically pinched with worry.]

Does anyone know anything about the...the--[Here, Merlin breaks off, verbally ( Read more... )

When Merlin tries to adjust the pillow underneath him, he realises that 1. the bed has somehow become rather hard and 2. it's rather cold. Frowning, he rolls onto his side, and starts feeling around for his blanket and suddenly feels the bed drop away beneath him. With a gasp, he manages to catch the edge of the bed, very much awake now ( Read more... )

[As usual, Merlin's latest broadcast begins with silence. Wait...silence? Unusual as this is, it appears to be the case. Just visible in the frame of the video, Merlin stands completely still, his side facing the camera. His attention is focused on something off-screen, though the long, thick stick he holds in front of him trembles slightly in his ( Read more... )
