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!]

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

[action]

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.

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.]}

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?

[action]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Yes and soon I will have reached that point as well. I've been here since October 9 of last year, aru.

[action]

[greatbigrock]

Yeaah, me too. I don't know about dates, but it was fall sometime.

[action]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

I keep getting more and more homesick, aru.

[action]

[greatbigrock]

I don't really. I mean, this world is nuts and all, but it's not so bad once you're used to it.

[action]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

I know and I am thankful for all the great friends I've made here, but a Nation will always miss his homeland, aru. It's only natural. Plus my family is no longer here in Johto with me.

[action]

[greatbigrock]

Oh.

_{[He looks sort of sympathethic at that.]}

Guess that changes it. I wouldn't want to be here either if I didn't have Miguel with me..

_{[He's family.]}

[action]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

It's probably for the best, though. At least my siblings are all back home, safe and sound I hope, aru/

[action]

[greatbigrock]

Mm ... maybe you'll see for yourself soon.

[action]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

I hope so, aru.

[He sighs.]

Well, I think I better be heading back to the inn. My shift at the restaurant will be starting soon.

[action]

[greatbigrock]

Alright. I'll see you around, I guess.

_{[He does give a wave before turning to collect his cat and find the others.]}
