011 | Goldenrod City | Video / Action;

[It's a legitimately beautiful day in the neighborhood when the video comes on — the skies are partly cloudy but there are streaks of sun in places, and there's no snow on the ground. Rather, a bunch of probably incredibly confused plants have evidently decided that spring has arrived egregiously early this year, and are already starting to bud; the grass around is turning greener with every passing day, and ordinarily Parker would probably approve of that because green is objectively the best color, but today, she's...

Well.

From the looks of things, she's sitting against a tree in black jeans, a T-shirt, and a flannel hoodie over; her hair is long and a veritable mess, because she hasn't bothered to tie it back and she certainly hasn't bothered to brush it lately. And she's not really looking at the camera, despite being the one who intentionally turned it on. There's an equally tired-looking Eevee (one that, strangely, seems to be wearing a little white uniform with red trim) snuggled against her chest, and flanking her on either side are Nate the Mightyena (still in his dapper fedora) and Sophie the Ninetales (still in her diamond necklace collar), snug against her sides as though they're standing guard.

The camera angle is haphazard and sideways — not quite a Myspace angle, but clearly chosen without a whole lot of care for how the picture ultimately comes out.

Probably because it's a good reflection of Parker's mood right now.]


It's sixty-five degrees outside. In January.

[When she speaks, her voice is dull and flat — almost robotic, in the way she's just sort of pushing the words out.]

In January.

[A pause.]

Is the world ending? Maybe the world's ending.

[There's another pause, and this time when she speaks it's under her breath, more to herself than to the camera.]

Yeah. Maybe that's it.

[For a brief time, she doesn't say anything more, and then just when it's starting to look like she's forgotten she's still recording, the camera jiggles as her hand moves, and almost as an afterthought she switches the feed off.]
snotfaced: (but i didn't is the point)

It's a shame you're not where I am. [He'd remember her! ...Probably.] I could protect you from all this end of the world stuff. I'm kind of a great warrior like that.
snotfaced: (snotlout got swag)

[personal profile] snotfaced 2014-01-08 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! That's kind of why I'm here. Heroic quest and stuff.

[#HumbleBrag]

Whatever the end of the world throws at me? I can totally handle it.
snotfaced: (haha you mad)

[personal profile] snotfaced 2014-01-08 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
Uh, of course. Who else would have muscles like these?

[Yes, he actually moves the camera to show his arm as he flexes. The angle sucks though.]
snotfaced: (that wasn't a jellybean)

[personal profile] snotfaced 2014-01-08 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, really. What, you never met a Viking before?
snotfaced: (and odin said let there be light)

[personal profile] snotfaced 2014-01-08 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
Well, they're not. I'm a Viking from Berk!

Good thing, too. We're the best Viking tribe there is. Outcasts? Jerks. Berserkers? Insane. Yeah, Berk's where it's at...
snotfaced: (we have those on berk right)

[personal profile] snotfaced 2014-01-08 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
[It's just for a second, but Snotlout's overconfidence slips. He misses his buddy.]

Yeah. Me n' Hookfang? Too intimidating a team, here, so I have to do this quest without him. I have a fish that's going to be a dragon, though! Won't be as cool, I know, but I'm willing to give her a shot if she's willing to put the effort in.
snotfaced: (uhhh)

[personal profile] snotfaced 2014-01-08 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
...I am?

[SINCE WHEN.]

I mean, yeah! Of course I am. For my daring deeds and awesomeness.

[Probably.]
snotfaced: (yeah yeah whatever give me the pie)

[personal profile] snotfaced 2014-01-08 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
[You know, that was actually super cool of him. Cue a puffed-out chest.]

Yeah, that was me. They really couldn't have defeated the Red Death without my help. And here I thought you'd never heard of Berk!
snotfaced: (barenaked ladies huh)

[personal profile] snotfaced 2014-01-08 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[Okay, so he already liked her for thinking the weather was screwy, but now she's just about the coolest person here (apart from him).

His smug grin does drop at her other question though, replaced with an expression that is both annoyed and...almost tired?]


...Nah. Hookfang's still back on Berk, poor guy. Probably misses me like crazy.

[...Hopefully.]
snotfaced: (but moooooom)

[personal profile] snotfaced 2014-01-08 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't get me wrong, I don't miss him!

[Just watch him flub that bluff roll.]

No, that's... That's for other people, not warriors like me. Yeah.
snotfaced: (time to make a first impression)

[personal profile] snotfaced 2014-01-08 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Thank the gods that Parker doesn't pick up on social cues...]

Lunch is going to be a dragon when I make her strong enough to break her curse, and Firecomb's gonna be a dragon, too.

Right now they're kinda just fishes and lizards.
snotfaced: (that makes zero kinds of sense)

[personal profile] snotfaced 2014-01-08 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
...Just "Buddy"?

[Snotlout, you tried to name a species of dragon "razor-sharp-claw-talon-feet". You're not allowed to judge names.]

What kind of dragon is he? Does he do anything cool?
