Drink Order 1 || video/action for New Bark

[usedgossip]

[OOC: Because my permissions post isn't up yet, there will be no spoilers in this post except in threads with castmates.]

[The woman on the screen doesn't look happy, and there is high pitched wailing in the background. She has to raise her voice to talk over it.]

Okay! These animals that we get in the balls, what do they eat? It's been screaming

[cubalibres]

If you stopped yelling and gave me a chance to read this thing, maybe I'd be able to tell you!

[Facepalming all over as he tries to read through his breeder's guide. Not that it seems to be helping much at all.]

Geez, it's bad enough that thing won't shut the hell up...

action; I need to get some annoyed icons. /cries

[usedgossip]

[Erica is attempting to dangle the keys that had been in her pocket for the little pokemon, but the Togepi just keeps wailing.]

Well, it's not my fault that you somehow got the well behaved pokemon!

action; I'll get you those visual book icons soon! ♥

[cubalibres]

And it's completely your fault that you suck with kids. [Rubs eyes.]

Take this, see if it works. [Rummages through his backback and pulls out a small bag of trail mix.]

action; I love you foreverrrrr ;w;

[usedgossip]

Hey! I do not suck with kids! I don't see you doing any better!

[In spite of the yelling, she takes the trail mix and crouches in front of the Togepi.]

Come on, sweetie, try this? [And the trail mix... is a success! Hot damn, Vincent was helpful!]

action; /loves back because you're playing ericaaaaa ♥

[cubalibres]

Mine's quiet, isn't it? Either way... we gotta make this stuff last. There's not much of it. And the next town's a couple of days away.

[Which is distressing enough. Now? Would be a good time for a hard drink.]

Hey...

action; /CLINGS TO

[usedgossip]

Yours is a sheep, not a baby! This is an egg, eggs are babies! [Hmph!]

[Erica groans.] Don't remind me. This isn't enough for one person, even if we combine what we both have. Thank god your... sheep thing eats grass.

action; /ATTACHES

[cubalibres]

Believe me, I've met some damn noisy sheep before. [Leans back, looking up at the sky.] You think we should name them or something?

[This is him trying to not think about missing a certain woman. Or wanting a drink and a smoke. And real food.]

action;

[usedgossip]

I... don't know if they count as actual sheep, Vince...

[Erica moves to sit with him, bringing the Togepi and trail mix with her.]

Guess we can't keep calling them "egg thing" and "the sheep" forever, huh?

[Dammit, Johto, we are adults. Can we trade our trail mix for beer?]

action;

[cubalibres]

I don't think you saw as many as I did. They sure as hell weren't people after a certain point.

[He turns his head, looking over to her.] Probably not. We wouldn't call our pets shit like that.

action;

[usedgossip]

There was this one creep who kept breathing funny and talking about making soup out of my blood... [She shudders.]

. . . How do we know if they're boys or girls?

action;

[cubalibres]

The ones who lost it... [He pushed more than his fair share of them off the edge to save his own skin..]

-- Check for its junk, I guess. That's how it usually works with animals.

action;

[usedgossip]

[Erica sighs.] I'm so glad we both kept it together.

[She looks under her Togepi, before sorta... linefacing at Vincent.] It's in an eggshell.

action;

[cubalibres]

Yeah, me too. [Really, really grateful for that, actually.]

[And then staring over.] I have no idea, then.

action;

[usedgossip]

Of course, you were some kind of sheep jesus, of course you did.

How does this thing go to the bathroom? [She's just examining the little thing.]

action;

[cubalibres]

I was just trying to not die. That's all it was. [A sigh.] The hell if I know. These things don't make any goddamn sense.
