2nd pokeball [open + event]

Characters: John Egbert, some ghost pokemon, and YOU!!
Setting: floor 45, floor 40
Format: Action
Summary: John's feeling a little under the weather but he's not going to let that get in the way of exploring and some mild training!
Warnings: None yet

>Floor 45 (early afternoon)

[There are a lot of things that John misses about Johto but one of the things near the top of the list is flying. There's just something about soaring thousands of feet in the air on the back of an Altaria or a Golurk that's really just amazing. And this floor, with its glass walls and high altitude, is about the closest he can get to replicating that.]

[He'll be in here for a few hours, accompanied by his Dusknoir and Litwick. He's not really doing much, just staring out the walls, taking a few pictures and videos with his Pokegear, and occasionally... talking to the dead things that slither around outside. Or trying to, anyway, he's not really sure that they can hear him. Every so often he sneezes, causing the Dusknoir to hand him a tissue, or coughs loudly. John has never had the best of luck with colds, and it seems that the lack of heat in the tower has already taken a toll on him.]

[Or perhaps it's something a little nastier than that...really, who can say?]


>Floor 40 (evening)

[Later on, John can be found a few floors down in the storage room, still accompanied by his Dusknoir and Litwick, the latter of which is proving to be very useful on this dark floor. The trio isn't attempting to store anything, but rather they appear to be hunting Shadow Blobs and Imps in the corners of the room.]

Chandel, night sh-- [A coughing fit prevents him from actually finishing the command. Seems his cold has gotten a little worse already...maybe taking it easy was a good idea after all. Oh well. Luckily, the Litwick seems to have understood what he was getting at.] Y-yeah... [Hack.] Just like that, good job. Just keep at it, you have this. Ughh... [Sniffle.]

[They'll be here until night falls and the stronger monsters come out to play. Unfortunately, Chandel isn't really strong enough to play with the big boys just yet And John really should get to bed so this cold doesn't get any worse than it already is.]

What's a Johto? Is that like a library or something?

[She grins and skips around him in a circle, glitching when she gets back in front of him and then reappearing behind him.]

It sure does! And it makes me waaaay better at racing than the people who can't do it!

[Seems like the people here don't know anything about the stigma of being a glitch - so she's just going to spin it so she sounds like the coolest kid on the block where she's from. Which is so different from reality that it's a little sad, but hey, a kid can dream.]
glitchinprincess: (Check THIS out!)

Yup! The best racer in all of Sugar Rush! I'm so good that whenever I get onto the track the other racers practically wet their pants!
glitchinprincess: (Aren't I cute?)

I drive a car! Well. A go-kart, really. But it's got an engine and everything!

I bet I could drive a real car if I wanted to!

Nice ta'meetcha, John! My name's Vanellope! Now don't go forgetting it!
glitchinprincess: (Cute Smile)

Thanks! John, uh... isn't, but I'm good at remembering names so don't worry about a thing. And besides, your last name's pretty unique!

[Though she'll most likely end up nicknaming him "Egghead" at some point in time because of it, sigh.]

Uh, a day! Maybe two! I dunno, I haven't really been keeping track.

[She's finding it hard to tell time, without the "Arcade's closed! We'll start the Random Roster Race soon!" that she's so used to using to mark the end of a day.]

Well, there's no one announcing that it's a new day so I don't really know! Where I come from the sky doesn't really change a whole lot, so there's an announcement.
glitchinprincess: (Devious contemplation)

Feel free to ignore this super-late tagback D8

Noooooo.

[She giggles, bringing a hand up to cover her mouth.]

Guess again!
