[2] Joint Post with Luna - Route 30 [Video/Action]

[The camera feed logs in to a rather nice setting, despite the fact there has been snow lately. America and Luna have made a pretty good meal, despite only having limited supplies, and are currently celebrating one of America's favourite holidays: Thanksgiving.

America lets the camera zoom in on him first, grinning and waving frantically at the screen for a moment.] Hey everyone! [He pauses for a moment, just to curb his enthusiasm a little.] And Happy Thanksgiving!

[He's aware a lot of the people here won't know what it is, but the title says enough, really. He has to hand his gear over to Luna though (or rather, just let it drop) as he's pounced on by multiple puppies (well, a Growlithe, Shinx and Houndour) that hatched just a day or so ago - which leads to just lots of laughing and general happiness.]

[Putting a hand over her mouth to try and hide her laughter, Luna picks up the gear and gives a happy smile to everyone. She's still not exactly sure what Thanksgiving is, but she's clearly enjoying herself nonetheless.]

Indeed! We implore everyone to have a merry day of "Thanks"-giving! Tis a day of merriment and... good food?

[She gives a wary glance towards the turkey and ham. As, well, a pony she's not used to eating meat. But hey, there's a first time for everything, right? And what a better day to try than Thanksgiving?]

[~~NOOOOOOOOOO /sobs~~]

[He chews his lip for a moment before laughing, he really can't say that he misses his gun. He doubts that'll sit well with her or the authorities.]

I guess all that's going to help that is seeing people I know, y'know? I don't really have much back home.

Maybe when I settle down somewhere I can get back to inventing stuff but...

[~~BRONY BRONY BRONY BRONY!~~]

[...Luna wouldn't even know what a gun was.]

[She gives a nod.]

We understand. Our destination ist Goldenrod City, where our citizens are currently residing. Hath anyone from thou's world made there way into this one?

Thou ist an inventor?

[~~8((((~~]

[That's a good thing, he doubts she'd like it so.

He does nod back at her though.] I think that means we'll have to split up at one of the junctures then... I'm supposed to make my way to Olivine. France and ...uh I think England's there.

Yup! I love making stuff.

[~~8DDDD~~]

[She gives a nod. She supposes it wouldn't be possible for both of them to travel together the whole them they were both here.]

Of course. It shall be nice to be together with our friends once more.

Pray tell, what sort of "stuff" doest thou make?

[~~:T T: :T~~]

[Exactly, which is a shame really. But it's still around two weeks of travel or something. Quite a while, really!]

Yeah, and it's not like we can't keep in touch, y'know? I'll learn to fly as soon as I can so I can visit. If you catch a bird Pokemon you can do that, y'know?

Oh! Well, uh... one I tried was this gun that was supposed to make everyone love each other so there wouldn't be wars but... it kinda failed. [He looks disappointed.]

[ ~~8D 8D 8D DON'T PRETEND YOU HATE IT. YOU LOVE IT.~~]

[Oh, definitely! They can do all kinds of things in two weeks!]

Indeed! There ist still video calls in which we can use to continue communication.

[She blinks.]

Thou ist... able to fly with a bird Pokemon?

[She has to laugh at the idea, just a little, before asking:]

What is a "gun"?

[~~OFIEN 8(~~]

[Yes they can!]

Exactly! I mean, I'm probably going to let people know how things are going with this anyway so.

[He grins.] Yup! You have to evolve it so it can take the extra weight first though, but it's pretty awesome when you get to that level.

Though uh... [He winces a little.] A gun sends something at people, like... a weapon sort of thing. Only the one I invented wasn't to hurt people! Just kind of work... to make them not hate each other. It wouldn't hurt in that case.

[~~<3<3<3<3<3~~]

Sounds like a worthy investment! Pray tell, how do we obtain one of these pokemon? We must get an egg, correct?

Ah! We understand.

[...Though now you've piped her interest.]

If thou's world doth not have magic... we sort of weapons doest thou have?

Ah, no! Actually, you can catch a Pdgey [He points to the small bird that's been sort of trailing them - it's just much more timid than the puppies or Wailmer and likes to keep to itself] and when it evolves twice, it becomes a huge bird that you can ride.

They're pretty easy to catch and really common!

[Though well... this is less nice.]

Swords and guns actually. Not the nice kind of gun I invented, either.

[She turns to look at the Pidgey and gives a nod of understanding.]

So, all we must do is find one of those and let it "evolve".

[Sound easy enough.]

We do not have such things in Equestria. We are only able to use magic as our weapon.

[He bites his lip.]

Well, this is the not so nice part. Pokemon grow and evolve... when you battle them. They gain experience so...

[Easy, but a lot of people have problems with that.]

Magic is probably less violent, I guess. At least it sounds it.

Battle? Tis how we are supposed to gain these badges from the gym leaders, correct?

[She looks around for her Gastly, who was not present at the moment. As opposed as she was to animals fighting... if was the only means to an end.]

Tis quite the opposite. Magic can be quite dangerous, especially if put into the wrong hands.

[...And yes, she's speaking from experience.

Yeah, yeah that's it. [He's secretly kind of glad Gastly isn't there to be honest, it means he won't be freaking out so much.

Though he nods at that.]

I just meant less violent in thinking... you don't get blood all over the place. I guess. [In particular, Kennedy's death is forever going to be imprinted in his mind, as well as Lincoln's. If only because he saw it all there and then etc.]

It guess magic works more like the bombs do or something. It's larger damage, but you don't see the ins and outs of it or something. I might be wrong though, obviously.

[He smiles, though it's pretty obvious he's forcing a lot of that up.]

[Oh, don't worry. She'll show up sooner or later~]

[Luna's not even bothering to smile, looking down at her hands.]

In a way, thou ist correct. If thou is using magic on a wide scale, each individual damage ist impossible to see or even comprehend.

However... tis more than possible to use large amounts of magic against one pony. Even a being as powerful as Celestia ...or even myself, are not immune to bleeding, bruises and exhaustion. Magic is not only able to do damage physically, but mentally as well. Tis a horrible, horrible thing when used incorrectly.

[WHAT WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING CONVERSATION THEY ARE HAVING.]

[Oh dear... though yeah, it's kind of awkward, which is why America leans sideways a little to knock their shoulders together.]

I guess we all have things that create absolute destruction.

[He lets out an actual weak laugh and tries to brush the whole conversation off.]

They don't seem to have anything like that here though.

[It sort of makes sense too though - welcome to the REAL WORLD OF THANKSGIVING, LUNA.]

[Luna gives a bit of a start when their shoulders unexpectedly bump together. She raises her head to look at him and is pretty quick to latch onto the topic change.]

Indeed. If the only thing fort us to worry about in this world is battling Pokemon, we would be quick to determine this world as peaceful.

[He didn't really intend to startle her, but... keeping on with that was only going to make both of them down.]

Yeah, we should probably get you some new Pokemon soon as well, if you'd like?

[America's doing pretty well already, but he's familiar with so much already so.]

[ooc: sleep time! ♥]

[Oh, no. She's glad he managed to change the topic. They were only going to spiral down from there.]

Oh, yes! We are certain we would need more Pokemon in order to accomplish anything in this world.

Speaking of... hast thou seen Tia?

[She starts to look around for her Ghastly.]

[ooc: Night! <3 Sleep well~]

[They were, so this is good.]

Yup, exactly! We're given 5 Pokeballs to use in the beginning, so you should still have those.

[Though that... Pokemon. Thinking of it creeps him out a little.]

N-no I haven't...

[She gives a nod.]

We hath not taken anything out of the bag we hath not used.

[She gives a frown, though she's not as surprised as she should have been.]

We art certain she will show up at the least opportune moment.

[~~Just like Celestia... if she had not shown up when she did, the night would be eternal...~~ She shakes her head to rid these thoughts.]

[America nods at that.]

Yeah, I can show you how to use them anyway.

[He laughs nervously about that.] I guess Ghost Pokemon are like that... you can recall them into the Pokeball when they're near though?

[Goodness, Alfred. She really is going to have to do something in order to repay you for all your kindness.]

We would be appreciative!

We are not sure if all Ghost Pokemon are like that, but if she truly is channeling our sister...

[She gives a bit of a laugh.]

[Nah, no way! Maybe just not judging him if something goes wrong? That'd be nice.]

No problem then!

[He laughs, though ohgod if your sister is that creepy---??]

[ooc: btw, I think he might end up going to Goldenrod City with her first anyway XD I realised it's only an extra like 4 days if he does so \8D/]

[...I love how we both just assume something horribly bad is going to happen, lmao.]

[Oh, no. Celestia's not as creepy looking as a Ghastly. Or as creepy in general. She's just a total and utter prankster. Wanna see how?

You totally wanna see how.

Just like how her Gastly is appearing in front of Alfred this very minute, making as ridiculious of a face as she can. Because she totally saw how he freaked out over web cam, she wants to know her reaction in person.]

[ooc: Oh, horray! 8D That will be fun!]

[...I already have something planned for some point, so it's totally legit. XD]

[Oh good! Though oh god, oh god. COVER YOUR EARS LUNA.

As America shrieks at the sight of her and sort of... scrambles back.

skjgnkjnh---!]

[ooc: Yes! 83]
