☇016 - Video/Action for Outskirts of Goldenrod (forward dated to Xmas Night!)

[solidbarrels]

[ It's late at night and although the festival is probably still in full swing, Squall's out on the outskirts of Goldenrod where the lights are actually dim enough for people to see the stars in the sky. The pokegear is still and level, obviously on top of something. Whatever Squall's planning seems like he doesn't want the camera to get skewed.

[ Squall walks into view and nods once at the pokegear. Dressed in his usual garb--jacket included this time--, Squall makes a motion to the side with a wave of his hand. ]

It's not a real gift but... I guess, I should still do something as thanks.

[ He nods again, this time more briskly as he adjusts the hold he has on the he received earlier that day, delivered sometime before he woke up. ]


[ Cyndaquil pops up, its face filling the entire screen before it runs past Squall until he's probably some distance away. Without warniing, Cyndaquil begins to use Swift, bright stars flying everywhere when suddenly Squall's Driblim floats into view with a shadow-ball charging in front of it, held up by two of its arms. The balloon pokemon lets go of the shadow-ball, hitting a few of the Stars made by Cyndaquil's Swift attack, creating a huge explosion of bright light, almost blinding anyone viewing Squall's post.

[ When the light dies down, smaller stars seem to fall from the sky before small tiny flames of will-o-wisps start shooting toward them, creating more smaller bright flashes of light. The roar of a Gyarados is heard before bolts of Thunder start to fall from the sky. Cyndaquil appears again and proceeds to use an Eruption, a massive rise of fire with a large enough smoke plume to almost reach the sky.

[ The small impromptu show continues with Squall's pokemon interchanging attacks to create displays of light not unlike regular fireworks.


[ When the show ends, Squall appears in front of the pokegear again and nods, although he doesn't really look that stoic as usual, if anything... He looks a bit uncertain, not that he'll ever admit it. ]

Hope you all like it. I guess, you can say this is my... present for you guys.

Thanks.


[[ooc: if anyone asks why Squall did this, he'll blame his Cyndaquil. Merry Christmas, everyone! And hope your characters enjoyed the little impromptu light show!! ]]

Right..

[ He runs a finger along one of the seams before slowly ripping into it, careful to keep as much of the wrapper intact since well, there's no point in making a huge mess ]

[And within, he'll find a lovely Compact Survival Knife. Because they didn't have gunblades. Sorry.]

[ Squall blinks at the knife before holding up in front of his face. He turns it around, examining it from all angles before nodding briskly. ]

...It's... good. Didn't think that they sold stuff like this here. With their no weapons deal...

Thanks, Cecil.

You're welcome. They must make them for mountains climbers and other travellers. Or perhaps they are considered too small to be true weapons. The only other blades I could find were kitchen knives.

[ Squall gives an amused scoff ]

Just kitchen knives? No cloak or lantern to go with? Doesn't seem right not to have complete set.

They had flashlights and brown winter coats. Who would want to look like a cheap imitation?

Then again, they do sell Pokémon-shaped costumes. They might accept commissions.
