011 Bushels ❦ [Video/Action for Violet]

[Applejack is standing under a tree, her gaze locked on a single red apple hanging from a branch. She grits her teeth. Dumb human body. If she was a pony, this wouldn't be any problem at all. But damnit, she was hungry. She had to try.]

Alright, Applejack. It's just like back home. Nice an' easy, no problem.

[She backs up a couple steps, before running at the tree. When she gets close, she brings up her leg, forcing it into the trunk of the tree with all her might. She stays there, for a moment, glaring at the trunk, which hasn't budged an inch. The adrenaline quickly wearing off, Applejack yelps, rolling off the tree and grabbing her ankle.]

Dang it! Dumb apple, why can't you just fall!?

[Suddenly, shifting in the branches! AJ's eyes quickly dart up, smiling in expectation. She closed her eyes, holding out her hands. Soon that delicious ruby would be in her hands, and she'll finally be able to--OOF!]



[Applejack's eyes widen as the much-larger-than-an-apple pokemon lands on her chest. The Pineco's eyes narrow, growling.]


Uh, hey there, sugarcube. Let's not get too hasty...

[The feed cuts with the sound of an explosion.]
friendyousohard: (Well I'm boned.)

Well, Snails is probably where I just came from, so let's head back that way. Maybe they're together.

[Off they go, Tesla leading the way with its unintelligible beep. It's not much of a hike, so soon enough they come upon Snails, who is currently shooting his water gun.

In a desperate attempt to keep the lumbering Bushel away from him.

Snails! [Alarmed for her gift from Rainbow, Twilight bursts into a run, her Pokes charging with her.]
friendyousohard: (Are you serious?)

[Upon being saved from the Slowpoke-eating monstrosity, Snails rushes over to Twilight about as fast as you'd expect a Slowpoke to.

Agonizingly slowly.

Twilight catches him up and lifts him, sighing in mingled relief and irritation.

You need to pay more attention. If you'd followed me and the others, you'd have been fine.

[Snails responds with a blank stare.]
friendyousohard: (Wat.)

Well, I can think of a couple things that might work, but unleashing either Sapphire or Megasoma on him seems mean.

[She sets down the doofy pink snail, who just stares blankly into space.] Besides, it looks like everything's okay now.
friendyousohard: (Neat.)

[personal profile] friendyousohard 2013-01-12 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
True... Maybe just a little bit of a fright would be good for him.

Still, we were talking about your other pokemon, weren't we?
friendyousohard: (Time to get serious.)

[personal profile] friendyousohard 2013-01-12 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
You'll see them eventually. Goldenrod isn't that far away.
friendyousohard: (Neat.)

[personal profile] friendyousohard 2013-01-12 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
I'm pretty sure they will. The only question is what will they think about seeing you again.

... If you're lucky, they'll have missed you just as much as we did.
friendyousohard: (Can has friends?)

[personal profile] friendyousohard 2013-01-12 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
Well, no way of knowing but to meet them again.

[She pats Applejack on the shoulder.] Try to keep a positive outlook. I know Jessie and Spook were very fond of you, at least.
friendyousohard: (Gala dress)

[personal profile] friendyousohard 2013-01-12 09:23 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I'd say that's a sign your memory's coming back. You'll remember everything soon enough.

[That could be a bit of an overly optimistic viewpoint, but then, she is trying to be reassuring.]
friendyousohard: (Just what is this thing for again?)

[personal profile] friendyousohard 2013-01-12 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[That somber expression is unmistakable. She can't really think of how best to cheer AJ up, so she just rests a hand on her shoulder and gives it a reassuring rub.]

It'll work out, Applejack. I'm... not quite sure how, yet, but I know it will.
friendyousohard: (Time to get serious.)

[personal profile] friendyousohard 2013-01-12 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not like you did it on purpose. That's just... something this world does.

Or whatever's bringing us to this world does, at least. My point is, it isn't your fault.
friendyousohard: (Sparkly magic superpowers activate!)

[personal profile] friendyousohard 2013-01-13 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
That's all I ask.

[Shoulder pat.]
