5th Stitch - Video/Action for Azalea Town

[scizor_sister]

[The feed begins with a quiet shot of an Espurr and Honedge... cuddling? That's probably the closest term for what's going on. The Espurr is staring straight into the camera as per usual, but it can be heard actually purring; rather loudly too.]

[This goes on for an almost uncomfortably long time before Nui speaks.]

Voyeux and L'Snippy Snip seem to be getting along well! That's good, they both unnerve the other Pokémon a bit, I think.

[Said without irony as the Honedge's sash tries to creep away. Regardless, Nui finally turns the camera to face herself, holding up a shiny new Hive Badge.]

I decided to face the gym leader while I was here. She certainly didn't present much of a challenge.

[Which is something of a lie, but like hell she'd actually admit to anything less than a complete sweep.]

Are the rest of them more skilled, or are they all this much talk?

[Not long after her initial broadcast, Nui sends out a short message to everyone in Team Rocket.]

Has anyone had any success actually using the swords as a sword? It gets VERY aggressive when I try, and that sash almost seems toxic on contact.

Hm.

[Nui glances back over her shoulder at the two Pokémon. The Espurr still has its cuddly deathgrip on the Honedge.]

Oh, I'm sure she's just playing. And teammates should learn to get along anyway.

[She says it fairly matter-of-factly, like it's obvious and NOT kind of terrible in its implications.]

Are you blind? How does that look like playing and not like some sort of horrible murder is about to happen?

Re: [Video]

[scizor_sister]

Don't be ridiculous. People CAN'T die here, remember?

[Clearly the only issue here.]

And anyway these things are literally made to fight. Why shouldn't their play reflect that?

So, that doesn't make it better? In fact, that probably makes it worse, since it'd just be some sort of...

[He doesn't even know where he's going with this.]

Horrible maiming!

[There. He found somewhere to go with it.]

It would be a learning experience! You can't learn if you're dead.

[Besides, if she understands it right, it means she'd be able to kill the same person more than once if she wanted.]

And these things are much harder to hurt than they look.

[theotherother]

That's...true, I guess.

[He's not going to specify which one he's talking about.]

People aren't though. I'd keep that thing away from them.

Re: [Video]

[scizor_sister]

Are you suggesting I'd let my Pokémon attack people?

[She's keeping up the usual sweetness and innocence routine, but it's possible she's pushing it just a tiny bit too far on that line.]

That would be horribly irresponsible of me.

[theotherother]

You told me to burn down an entire forest. How the hell am I supposed to know what you would or wouldn't do?

Re: [Video]

[scizor_sister]

That was perfectly sound advice and it's not my fault if you can't see that.

[She's sticking to that for as long as she has to.]

And I'm a grown lady, I'm perfectly capable of attacking someone MYSELF if I need to.

[Which isn't to say that she WOULD, at least not here. Without her powers there's too much risk of getting stabbed in return.]

[theotherother]

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

[He can't really picture it. Which doesn't mean it's not possible, it's just his brain won't create the right mental image here.]
