Dive 03 [Action / Video]

[manlymanly]

*Do you happen to be in Violet City today? If so, you may find yourself with Aoto sneaking up behind you as you walk around. What does he do once he gets behind you, you ask? Flip your skirt? Tickle you? Jump you? No no, it is something far far more childish.

He's sticking the mouth of his Remoraid up against your back while holding the water-type like a gun.*

Freeze! Keep your hands where I can see 'em.

[Video, an hour or two later]

Hey, does anybody know a good place in Violet to buy materials? A place for stuff like clothes and plush animals and... well, a good place to buy food too, I guess. Now that I have a good amount of cash I have a few projects I need to get started on!

Yup, sure can!

Well, then why don't you try it out right now?

[audio]

[manlymanly.livejournal.com]

Haaaaah? Are you issuing a challenge against my imagination and visualizing skills?

[audio]

[madegrowth.livejournal.com]

Possibly.

[audio]

[manlymanly.livejournal.com]

... you had best be prepared to be amazed then.

[audio]

[madegrowth.livejournal.com]

Surprise me, then.

[audio]

[manlymanly.livejournal.com]

First off... You must have narrow eyes, with your brows constantly furrowed!

[audio]

[madegrowth.livejournal.com]

No.

[audio]

[manlymanly.livejournal.com]

Wha... You can't just not say I'm right if I am, for the record!

All right, how about this... you have short hair! I bet it doesn't go past your shoulders! Maybe... Blonde!

[audio]

[madegrowth.livejournal.com]

I'm not, trust me.

Ah, you're right ab-- [She then checked her hair. She hadn't gotten it cut since she came to Johto.]

I thought you were right. I hadn't noticed my hair grew out. It's past my shoulders.

And I'm not blonde.

[audio]

[manlymanly.livejournal.com]

... Imagination, you have failed me this day.

[audio]

[madegrowth.livejournal.com]

I can't believe you left this up to your imagination.

[audio]

[manlymanly.livejournal.com]

Keh... You're the one who wouldn't flip to video! I'm not used to talking to people when I don't at least have the slightest idea as to what they look like, okay? You should be thankful I didn't just make up what I think you look like.

[audio]

[madegrowth.livejournal.com]

If it makes you that uncomfortable, I could just switch to video.

You seemed more interested in making things up about me, anyway.

[audio]

[manlymanly.livejournal.com]

It's not making me uncomfortable... I just like having a face to the voice.

And hey, a good imagination is vital to survival! You can't get by in the world if you don't have one.

[audio --> video]

[madegrowth.livejournal.com]

[She sighs.] Fine, then. [She switches to video.]

Happy now?

[She pauses.] believe me, I don't need a good imagination.

[video]

[manlymanly.livejournal.com]

--ah! *Blink blink... Then he just grins.*

... if you weren't making that really annoyed face right now, I'd say you were pretty cute.

[video]

[madegrowth.livejournal.com]

Wha.........[Insert slight blush here. Not annoyed anymore, though.]

[video]

[manlymanly.livejournal.com]

I'm glad I asked about this! *Not grinning as big now, but he's still smiling* The real deal is definitely better than what I could have imagined.

[video]

[madegrowth.livejournal.com]

Ah...thank you.

[video]

[manlymanly.livejournal.com]

Heh, just calling it like I see it!

I'm Aoto, by the way! Can I get a name to go with that face?

[video]

[madegrowth.livejournal.com]

I'm Shiho. Nice to meet you.

[video]

[manlymanly.livejournal.com]

Likewise! And thanks for the tip off on the store, Shiho!

[video]

[madegrowth.livejournal.com]

Glad to be of help.

[manlymanly.livejournal.com]

Yooooooosh! I'll see ya around! For now I must depart on my epic and perilous store finding journey!
