Eighth Viking Charge [Video]

[Astrid is in Ecruteak, and she looks...puzzled. She's frowning at her gear absently as she starts to talk.]

Okay. So, I've learned to deal with a lot here, really. Riding on the back of a giant bird, eggs that hatch into dogs, animals that get 'knocked out' instead of killed.

Ghost masks that make you think you're other people and no I am never going to talk about that.

Ghosts in general. I caught a ghost! He looks like a furry floating dark thing that grins. Which is weird. It's all weird.

But I think...this sort of wins.

[She turns the camera away now, to where her Wailmer is sitting on the ground looking gigantic and very happy. He sort of wiggles at the camera in what might be an attempt at a tail wag.]

He hatched from an egg that I could hold in my hands. Egg to that. He's HUGE. [And back to Astrid.] The 'Ball Whale Pokemon.' Seriously? And the strangest thing? Someone mailed me the egg. Anonymously. Someone looked at this and thought 'I'm going to give this whale thing to the viking girl.'

[She just shakes her head.]

I think I'm gonna name him 'Ball.'

I came here a few weeks ago but I'm still not used to how this world works.

What's the strangest thing you've encountered, other than with the whale egg?

Evolutions? [She seems to have an idea of what it is but then she remembers this isn't her world here. ] Is that...like when the pokemon grows or something?

You've been here quite longer than I have, right?

Has your pokemon been through that process?

Well... someone does, if they thought it would make a good present!

Not really. If the enemy's quick enough, they might be able to get out of the way. I guess you can tell 'em it's a big fucking whale before you throw the ball if you want, but that's on you.

But even then, that would only take out one Pokemon out of however many are on their team. Dropping him on the enemy is the sort of thing that'll only work once per battle, anyway.

It's a water type, so the usual electric and grass will work. And from what I hear, their defenses aren't too great; it's just a lot of whale to take down. Kinda like a giant marshmallow.

He does look kind of silly! And I suppawse he's a bit... inconvenient. [ Says the girl with a nice manageable Skitty for a starter. Complete with dorky cat puns, stressing the wrong bits of words -- she's a little weird. ]

Still, he's a purresent.

Something like that. They might be able to do at least some damage since hey, they're giant whales.
strawberryredgrave: (I see you)

[personal profile] strawberryredgrave 2012-11-09 08:01 am (UTC)(link)
I dunno, man; it's your call. I say give it a shot and see what happens. I don't know much about 'em since I haven't seen any in person, but it could be damn interesting.
strawberryredgrave: (I'm just messin' with you.)

Sweet. You'll probably be able to make one hell of an entrance with that guy, too. Drop right in, ride a whale to battle...you know, shit like that.

But with a cute face! Oh-- [ she brightens even further, cheerful, ] --it's my quirk. Where I'm from, efurryone has a quirk to type with and write with.

[ It's just that bright green text and smileys don't carry over to spoken conversation the way weird little word jokes do. ]

I could say 'purrson' instead of 'person', see?

They can refuse evolving? Why did yours refuse to do so?
