Room 006 [Action/ Video]

[ACTION]

[It's evening and the world is sun is sinking. Somewhere along Route 30, there is a rattled looking youth crouching in a ditch. He's got a frybasket in one hand and a poke'gear in the other. What's got him so interested is the culvert passing under the path.  It's big, rusty, and full of standing water. And round. It looks like a hole.

[He was just passing by. He and another person in Cherrygrove named... gah, what was it? Cheryl? Cynthia? Cybil? He was terrible with names. Either way, he had followed her out of the town because, god forbid he stay ANOTHER DAY now that his contract with the pokemart was up.

The last thing he expected, though, was a guy stumbling in abject terror out of a sewer pipe. It's only through some reflexive quick footwork that Mordecai dances out of the way, looking at the positively spooked Henry as he regains enough composure to take one last photo.]

Woah. Dude. Are you alright?

[Henry spins around, taking notice of another human being for once and kind of...flails and topples over. His eyes stay locked on the culvert as he pants. He points back the way he came with the warped fry basket.]

There's a monster in that drain!

Uh, I'm pretty sure it was just an owl, dude. I've seen 'em around town at night. I mean, folks call them Hoothoots here, but they're just owls.

[Clearly this man is off his rocker. But maybe he was right and that hooting was something that was NOT an owl.]

Look... if it makes it better, you could always, you know. keep going and not hang around the sewer? I mean, whatever was in there didn't bother anyone until you went in with your... [uhhhhhh...] fry-basket.

[. . . . . .]

Why are you carrying a frybasket, dude. [No, that wasn't really a question, more of a flat what.]

[Henry sits there like a bump on a log a little longer.]

I don't think it's a normal owl...It's been following me...but I've never actually seen it. Just these eyes.

[Henry holds his hands up to his face to make a pair of 'owl eyes' with his thumbs and forefingers. MORDECAI KNOWS WHAT EYES ARE, HENRY, Jesus.

He finally stands up, but doesn't bother dusting himself off. He doesn't really face Mordecai either because what is eye-contact.]

My pokemon's pretty useless. This is the only thing I've got to protect myself with.

[He gives it a sudden, and surprisingly stout looking swing.]

[HEY it's FRYBASKET GUY!]

[But it looks like he's up to something, so Heather doesn't start talking right off the bat. She's curious.]

[When he starts to crawl towards the hole, though, she speaks up.]

What're you... going IN there after, exactly?

Pretty sure there's nothing in those things except mud and purple rat nesHOOOOOOLY FUCK!

Holy SHIT!

Ohmygod.

[RUN HENRY JESUS CHRIST.]

[There is a nice, bright Pokemon Center behind Henry when he responds, finally. And again, leaves in hair.]

It was a hole.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Yeah, I GOT that part.

Still doesn't explain why you'd go into a hole that had like... the DEVIL in it!

[Video]

[no_ufo_ending]

H-hey, I didn't know the devil would be in there!

A hole like that showed up in my bathroom when the ghosts showed up. I just thought...

[TINY SAD HENRY FACE. 8c Even though home was scary as shit...he had a job to do.]

[prideofwisdom]

That looks safe.

Though honestly, I don't think anything here can kill you.

[no_ufo_ending]

I'm not taking any chances!

[serpensrex]

What on earth is that?

[video]

[no_ufo_ending]

Dead, if it comes out of that hole.

[video]

[serpensrex]

And how are you planning to do that?

[no_ufo_ending]

[BEHOLD-- The slightly warped Frybasket of UNMAKING! Henry kind of waves it around and attempts to look threatening.]
