Eighth roll - video/action

[greatbigrock]

[Hey Johto, this is a video of coins scattered on the ground, and a Meowth in the middle of them looking very pleased with himself, licking a paw and being generally smug and show-offy. Accompanying this sight is Tulio's very stunned voice.]

So my cat just … made money. [The longest pause. Until finally he starts talking and sounds more animated, but it's almost frustrated. Johto, why you no make sense.] My cat just made money. Out of nowhere. It's nuts. This place is nuts. 

[Another pause, because holy crap MONEY OUT OF NOWHERE. He picks one up to study, incidentally bringing it close to the camera. And we're back to disbelief.] Hey, so … are they real? Can I use them? [So much money troubles would be solved. All the money troubles.]

[Basically, guess who learnt Pay Day. Should you feel like running into him, he's on the outskirts of Ecruteak!]

The long history of this great wall or the history of you?

_[...uh]

[He shakes his head.]

My homeland is best known for the Great Wall, which is still standing in 2011! Then my home also has its rich culture and long history, aru!

[He separates the two subjects this time.

[action]

[greatbigrock]

Well congratulations to that!

_{[He supposes, anyway.]}

[China will just be smiling bashfully now, rubbing the back of his neck.]

Xie xie!

But it's definitely not easy, being a Nation, aru. A lot of politician and military work, you know?

[action]

[greatbigrock]

_{[This is new development and Tulio looks almost confused for a split second there. Who knew he could actually get along with people? Hm.]}

No. _{[Blunt, because he doesn't know. Like, at all.]} ... doesn't sound like much fun, either way.

[action]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Even so, it has its perks, aru.

[action]

[greatbigrock]

Yeah? Like what?

[action]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Well, having houses all the over the country is a start and so is having enough money to pay for them all, aru.

Big houses too.

[action]

[greatbigrock]

_{[Oh. Yes. Well. That does sound pretty good, not gonna lie.]}

So that's what you do all day, wander around houses? ... not bad.

[action]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Wandering around the country, yes, aru. Though most of us tend to spend most of our time in our countries' capitals.

Not all our trips around the world are for business either, sometimes we travel just to have a good vacation.

[action]

[greatbigrock]

Sounds like you don't have it half-bad.

[action]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Still, I think that it's nice I'm able to experience how it feels to be human here, aru.

Sure, I miss my special abilities, but I can't say coming to Johto had a completely negative impact on me.

[action]

[greatbigrock]

_[Shrug] This place is all right.

What do you mean, 'special abilities'?

[action]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Being a Nation, I have those, aru.

My injuries could heal themselves in a matter of seconds, or minutes, or hours, depending on the severity. Then my natural abilities were heightened, for example my speed, aru.

[There was another one, but he didn't feel like bringing it into the conversation right now.]

[action]

[greatbigrock]

Well, that sounds pretty damn useful. Not too bad a life, eh?

[action]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

I can't complain, but it is not always as glorious as most people think, aru.

[action]

[greatbigrock]

Hm. Still sounds better than what I'm used to.

[action]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

What are you used to, if you don't mind me asking?

[action]

[greatbigrock]

_{[Oh crap, did he say that out loud? Umm. He rolls his eyes and looks away, looking sort of defensive.]}

Not glory, riches and a comfortable life, anyway.

[action]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

It was the same for me in the very beginning of my life, aru. I had to keep on the move and I was by myself most of the time.

[action]

[greatbigrock]

Yeah, then you know the story.

[action]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

I try not to remember those times too vividly, aru.

[action]

[greatbigrock]

My life in a nutshell.

_{[He's still living in them.]}

[action]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

You might as well enjoy your time here and make the most of it, aru. Who knows how long it will be before we all go back home.

[action]

[greatbigrock]

...yeah, I'm doing that. Sort of. Did you know some people have been here over a year?
