Trail #11 - [video]

[thattrail]

[Hello Johto, today you're treated with a quite terrible photo of a tree, and also Miguel's vaguely frantic voice]

Aaargh hell! What happened now? Did I break it? Did I- [The photo time-outs and the 'Gear switches back to video mode. You can clearly see that, yes, there is a big tree right there in view and there is something blue in it]

Oh, it's

[8u PHOTOGRAPHY MAJOR TO THE RESCUUUUUE]

[Henry flickers onto the feed and after hesitating a moment, pipes up.]

That's the camera feature. You can take and store photos.

[video]

[thattrail]

Ooh, spectacular!

So that freeze-frame thing was a photo, then? It looked like a really good painting, incredibly life-like [8DD]

[video]

[no_ufo_ending]

Right.

[Teeny tiny smile.]

They take up less space than videos.

[video]

[thattrail]

Okay, so they're like.. kept inside the 'Gear after you've taken them? How do I look at them?

[action]

[greatbigrock]

What was that, pal?

[Calling over his shoulder. DID HE HEAR YOU RIGHT MIGUEL. WHAT DID YOU CALL HIM. Casually climbing up further though to try to get his goddamn bird down from that branch that's impossibly high up.]

[action]

[thattrail]

[Totally innocent grin]

Nothing! Nothing at all! Just documenting your heroic efforts to the rest of the world!

[action]

[greatbigrock]

What- you're filming? Pico, come on...

[Why would you do that though, seriously.]

[action]

[thattrail]

Yeah, do you mind? I mean, your climbing skills are quite extraordinary. Besides, you're risking life and limb to save your bird, isn't that heroic?

[Audio]

[dead_black_eyes]

I'm fairly sure I've seen you before. Somewhere other than on the networks...

[Audio]

[thattrail]

Huh... yeah, you're... distantly familiar. Are you sure we haven't met?

[Audio]

[dead_black_eyes]

I don't forget faces.

Have you ever killed anyone? Or been the cause of someone's death, directly or indirectly?

[Audio]

[thattrail]

[Shocked silence]

No.. No! No, I would never do something like that!

[exeggutorhead]

[Is this just what happens when he goes off by himself? Do you guys just climb trees all day. Like Envy can talk about tree climbing.]

[Either way, have some snickering.] And what would this monkey-person be doing?

[video]

[thattrail]

[Always some weird shenanigans. Always]

He's performing a daring rescue attempt!

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

Oh? Who's he rescuing?

[He's looking at the video for clues as to where they are because he kind of wants to come witness these shenanigans in person.]

[video]

[thattrail]

Pico, his little bird friend. For reasons unknown, she won't or can't fly down by herself.

[Hard to tell because it looks like a generic route. But judging by the buildings far in the background, they're on the outskirts Ecruteak 8D]

[no_nukes_plz]

What was what? The photograph? Looks like you just hit the "take photo" feature. For a minute I thought you'd done something serious from the way you were talking.

...he doesn't look like a monkey.

[video]

[thattrail]

Aah, yes, photographs. They're like.. instant paintings, but they're so much more life-like! It's amazing.

That's because he's a monkey person. Not really a monkey, but not entirely a man either.

[video]

[no_nukes_plz]

...so he's some kind of... evolved half-breed?

[video]

[thattrail]

Possibly! Nature is full of wonders, so who knows what he truly is.
