video. | action for cherrygrove.
Five-hundred-and-one million, six-hundred-twenty-two thousand, seven-hundred-thirty-one...
[When the video feed flickers on, you get a nice view of the starry night sky stretching endlessly above. His voice filters through whimsically like something distant and far away.]
There's Andromeda to the north, Libra... Vulpecula, and maybe Orion's to the left, hidden away in the corner. [a chuckle, slightly regretful] Mm, I'm just kidding. I don't recognize any of the constellations here. And even if I did, I'll willing to bet that their names are probably somewhat different than the way I remember them.
Teddiursa Minor, maybe, or The Great Victreebel.
[He laughs, airy.] The stars here are still pretty, albeit nameless.
[The video screen dips downwards and inwards, illuminating a brown-haired boy, lightly smiling. There's an egg cradled in his lap. And wherever he's sitting, it's high above the ground, for the treeline is right there behind him, their tips caressing the sky.]
You know, it's a little strange that it takes a week-long coma and a very vivid dream to realize how nameless everything is here. [A pause, pensive. And almost to himself--] And it was a very, very vivid dream. I don't think I realized how vivid it was, until it came true.
[Breeze in the background, and he looks up, distracted. When he turns back, he's smiling again, wider than before, which probably means he's just that much more melancholy.]
Has anyone here had any happy dreams since coming here?
[action]
[For any late-night Cherrygrovers, he's sitting on a lamppost near the town square -- egg in his lap and Flygon sitting next to him -- murmuring to himself idyllically. His words, drifting along the wind-]
'...Will make me sleep again: and then, in dreaming,
The clouds methought would open and show riches
Ready to drop upon me that, when I waked,
I cried to dream again.'

[action]
Oh, no. It's nothing. How did you end up choosing the name 'Cleo'?
[action]
... Ted will need that back later.]
Oh, well... [He scratches his cheek sheepishly at that.] Just someone I know. It was the first name I could think of, and lately she's been slowly living up to it. Pretty good fit if you ask me.
[action]
... you will get it back, by hook or by crook. Fifteen pokemon is more than enough :|a;;]
Ah, is that so? It's not the first time I've heard something like that -- pokemon growing up to fit their namesakes.
It makes me wonder. Maybe giving that name helps with the process.

Depends on what you classify as interesting.
[action]
Then again, that can be said for everything, in some way or another.

[Hm.] I think it'd be nice, to go around and take a look at what's out there.
[action]
[A pause.] It's pretty refreshing, especially if you get to places with a beautiful scenery.
[action]
Ah, it sounds like you're speaking from experience. Do you have any stories to share?
[action]
Stories? [A pause.] Ah, most of them are pretty boring. You'd probably not want to hear it.
[action]
Most, being the keyword. Think of a fun one.
[action]
[A pause.] Maybe next time. I can't think of anything off the top of my head now. [More like he doesn't want to talk about them.]
