[02] Route 30 - After much delay .... [Video/Action]

[k9tantei]

[Thursday morning, still looking beaten, battered, bandaged, and a little the worse for wear, he's ... setting out for Violet anyway.]

[Hey, one day is PLENTY of recovery time! At least the poison's out of his system and he's not repeating Kyoto.]

[He seems to be taking a break somewhere in a clear spot - stopping just short of the grassy areas to make sure everyone else is ready.]

[His Houndour's nowhere in sight - mostly due to a moment of foresight that maaaaybe he doesn't want to end up breaking up a fight depending on what he ends up dealing with...]

[Judging by how he's got a Yanma eating out of his hand when the feed clicks on? It's not so much of a worry at the moment.]

Seems like whatever sound'r signal'd set th'bugs off's gone away - Three days ago she was tryin' to take my head off.

[He starts to reach out cautiously with his free hand to see if she'll take a pat on the head - but that's met with a freeze and a very uncertain swivel of eyes upward at his hand...]

Ahahah...can't blame'er for bein' a bit skittish. No tellin' what was done to'em to get'em to react that way.

[He pulls that hand back, and the Yanma finishes devouring the food he'd been holding; he returns her to her pokéball, pulling out a second one - and in short order there's a grumbling Skorupi that skitters away to eye him suspiciously from the base of the ledge. He settles kneeling a little lower, holding out another chunk of food, keeping his voice quiet...]

See? S'ok ... nobody's gonna hurt'cha.

Skoruru....Skoru...

[And, after a moment of uncertain fidgeting and vague claw-waving...]

[The Skorupi launches itself at the food...or Heiji's hand... it's hard to tell which was the intended target, he doesn't seem to be caring much which he's biting.]

[While his expression flickers through dearly wanting to flail, Heiji bites back on more than a muffled yelp of pain, then flounders with the hand not-being-eaten to kill the video for the moment, trying very hard not to flinch and end up agitating the pokémon more...]

((Any replies are going to be ... responded to a couple minutes later, with Victor back in his pokéball and Heiji bandaging his hand. Again.))

[It's interesting how different the pokémon's personalities are, and how they look apparently. He had actually been checking the pokégear for anything else he could learn about this place before they set off again from their resting spot when he saw the feeding session.] Are you all right?

[k9tantei.livejournal.com]

[]

Yeah, 'm fine! Just a little chewed on - 've had worse before. Shoulda known they might be a bit funny after all of that.

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

[He nods, raising an eyebrow at having worse--- but then he can't complain, he's known worse situations himself.] Is that one of those bugs that attacked recently?

[k9tantei.livejournal.com]

Yeah, both him an' Kaguya - the Yanma... [] Kinda figured they'd be a mess, they had to've been screwed with before they were let loose or th'signal or whatever woulda driven all the bugs nuts, not just them... []

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

[A signal, huh? He wasn't here when it happened, so he has no idea of the details.] It's probably going to take a while for it to trust you. It's not exactly the most refreshing experience.

It's good to see they've calmed down now. [ Because he wouldn't want them blowing up in his face again. Darn those Pinecos... and darn the guy who made the bugs berserk. ]

Is your hand alright?

[ video ]

[k9tantei.livejournal.com]

Yep! []

Looks like without whatever set'em off, they're just scared at worst.

[ video ]

[miniworth]

[ He's got his face half-covered in gauze, bandaid on his forehead from Pinecoplosion to his face. ]

Tarantulas - he's a terrible person. I wouldn't be surprised if that's his fault, too.

[ video ]

[k9tantei.livejournal.com]

Was that the guy who made that creepy video broadcast just 'fore they went nuts? []

[ video ; sleepytimes.. night! \o ]

[miniworth]

Before the laughing? Yes.. that would be him.

[ahokonakamori.livejournal.com]

[Oh god, not more people getting hurt. That's the last thing Aoko wants to see.]

It's good that the bugs calmed down, but now they're just plain scared. Are you okay, though?

[k9tantei.livejournal.com]

'm fine! It'll take more'n that to slow me down - see? []

's just gonna take some time to get'im to calm down... Whoever's behind this must've abused'em pretty bad for them to be like this.

[Video] | I mean it this time, night!

[ahokonakamori.livejournal.com]

[Good. She does not like injured people.]

Well, as long as it's nothing serious.

I think they're just really skittish now, scared that they'll be hurt again.

Say, you look kinda familiar.

[Video]

[k9tantei.livejournal.com]

That's what I'd say, too - would like t'get my hands on the guy that did this to'em.

[] Well, I am pretty well known as a detective back home... []

[Video]

[ahokonakamori.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you and a lot of other people.

[An "AHA" look comes on her face.] I knew it! You're that famous detective, Shinichi Kudou! [And doooooown goes the ego]

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

Looks like you might wanna teach that second one that hands aren't food-- at least, not for Pokemon.

[video]

[k9tantei.livejournal.com]

More like that I'm not out t'get it like the last guy who had it.

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

... 's jumpy, is it? [sympathy, he has it]

Can't really blame it. Whatever that guy did to them must've been pretty bad.

[video]

[k9tantei.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Can't say I wasn't expectin' t'have to undo some damage with these.


Y'familiar with the bastard? []

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

[He recognizes the question for what it is (TOO MUCH DETECTIVE EXPERIENCE) but... he has no reason to hide]

Unfortunately. [There's a hint of anger in that answer, too. Just a bit]

backtagging ;; action

[superboobies.livejournal.com]

[ She'll just watch Skorupi and sigh ]

Do you need any help, again?

action (youa nd me both ~_~; ...she can feel free to uh, interfere.)

[k9tantei.livejournal.com]

[]

[]

Aaah... I came prepared at least...

Thanks though? And thanks again. []

interefere???

[superboobies.livejournal.com]

It's no problem. Just, those things are poisonous so maybe you should handle them a bit better next time? No~? I'd hate to see you get hurt!

[ Her demeanor and tone indicate that she's sincere, and she actually is! ]

How've you been holding up?

Ah, he probably doesn't need much help, but he wouldn't do more than grump.

[k9tantei.livejournal.com]

Ah, 'm fine! Thanks for everything - it really did help. []

[]
He doesn't seem to've been inclined t'use it on me ... 'm not prey, an' I'm not a predator or somethin' that'd be driven off, so there's not much reason for it 'less I push'im...warning shots, an'all.

OH WELL RANGIKU IS LAZY SO (code_okok)

[superboobies.livejournal.com]

It's my job. Still have to make that money, right Heiji~?

[ She'll just nod and go along with it ]

Well, if you're provoked, the best thing to do would be to spray an antidote on the wound. Perhaps you could also forage for something that would make your body more resistant? Oh, well, who am I to ramble on about these things.

Do you want to spar or something? I have 3 pokemon with me right now~
