007 [action + video] backdated to the afternoon

[useflamethrower]

[He's confused, there was tugging, and then darkness, and then all of a sudden he's on his knees suddenly in a building, out of the rain. He's not sure what has happened, but he knows that he's slightly thankful for it

[darkenedgales]

[Not far away, someone else is having trouble with Gastlies, too. Probably the same ones, even.]

There's more of them!? Tch, Gale--

[... but before the Pidgey has a chance to attack, the Gastlies are already gone.]

... What's wrong with those things? Damn! Why do they keep picking up fights if they run aways right after that!?

[useflamethrower]

They're toying with us.

[Hao's Charmander and Pidgey are totally on guard, the bird perching on his shoulder and looking somewhat intimidating, while the fire on the Charmanders tail is crackling, and the lizard is ready to attack any gastly that comes close to Hao.]

[darkenedgales]

I've noticed. [He makes a face, turning his attention to Gale as she lands on his outstretched arm.]

Heck, why don't dead things ever stay dead?

[useflamethrower]

Regrets or lingering emotions connected to the living world. Unfinished business. Whatever it is, it doesn't matter because they're here now.

[darkenedgales]

... Riiiight.

You, uh. Sure know a lot about it.

[useflamethrower]

I deal with the dead a lot back where I come from.

[darkenedgales]

[... Creepy.]

... You're not serious, are you...?

[useflamethrower]

Of course I am, else I wouldn't have made mention of it.

[darkenedgales]

So I'm guessing you know how to deal with them, huh?

[useflamethrower]

Did. It doesn't seem that these follow the same rules, and without my powers, I can't control them.

[darkenedgales]

Figures it would be way too easy if you could.

So, what's your name, anyway? It's not every day that you get to know a ghost-controller, heh.

[leafking]

It's called shamanism where i'm from. And my name is Asakura Hao.

[darkenedgales]

So you're a shaman, huh? Sounds cool.

Oh yeah, I'm Crow Hogan. Nice to meet ya, Hao.

[useflamethrower]

Likewise, Hogan-san--

[HAO IS CUT OFF. he is LEVITATING. AND THERE ISN'T ANYTHING AROUND--

His charmander grabs onto his foot, attempting to pull him back down, but it doesn't seem to be working well.]

[darkenedgales]

Oh shi-- Black Lance, get him back here!

[Perhaps a Murkrow would be of more assistance? He flies towards Hao, attempting to grab him and drag him back to the ground.]

[useflamethrower]

[He doesn't even attempt to try and fight being levitated, but as soon as the murkrow draws close, he suddenly falls to the ground. However he manages to land it, crouching slightly after before standing.]

How childish.
