01 | video (action for new bark town)

[mianhe]

[ When the video feed clicks on, Namsoon looks rather ruffled up: his clothes are all askew, and there are signs of a bruise beginning to purple on his right cheek and a cut along one of his arms. There's a Mienfoo sitting on his lap, looking very excited!! to be out and about; it can barely seem to sit still. ]

I have a question. The Pokémon we’re partnered with... they aren’t supposed to attack you, right? [ there’s a pause, and then a sigh -- ] I don’t think she meant to, but she was very -- enthusiastic, when I let her out of the ball... They’re pretty strong, aren’t they? Even though they’re so small. 

[ For a few moments, he seems to zone out, staring blankly and not saying anything. Rather abruptly, though, he snaps out of it after half a minute or so: ] I was wondering, though... do they really enjoy fighting? And do we have to battle them? It just seems kind of...

[ He trails off, changing subjects abruptly: ] I think I need a band-aid.

Well, you can probably hold performances with them if you're into that kind of thing.

[He's seen some Pokémon learning to dance like their trainers after all.]

[mianhe]

... Maybe... if they're more talented at it than I am. [ well, he's never tried in the first place, but... ]

You sure sound like you need to man up more.

[just saying.]

[mianhe]

[ his reply is the grand shrug of apathy. ]

You can think that if you like, I guess?

[impulsives]

[Oh well.]

Anyways, name's Shinn if you need something to call me by.

[mianhe]

Mine's Namsoon. [ there's a pause, then a tiiiiny, tiny smile. ] It's nice to meet you.

[impulsives]

Same here.

[Going to give a thumbs-up with his right hand aw yeah.]
