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.]

[Blake is disappointed with the quality of your insults, Alice.]

C'mon. You can do better than that.

[He's about to say don't tellme what not to do when he's stopped short.

He yanks the phone close to his face.]


What the hell do you mean, he won't wake up?

[Cop instincts engage.]

Listen to me. I need you to check his pulse and see if he's breathing.

[Sounds obvious, but people missed things when they were freaked out.]

[Blake's fists unclench.] Good.

[Now this is sounding familiar.]

I've seen this before. It happened with an asshole from back home. He was out for a damn week and then woke up like nothing'd happened.

It's what happens. Doesn't mean I'm real fuckin' happy about it, and if I find out who or what makes it happen, they'll regret it.

[Going around putting people in comas. Who the fuck does that?]
lieutenantantichrist: (world goin one way)

[He gives her a sharp nod. They don't have to like each other. This is something different.]

It's a deal.

[Saying that stirs up a memory.]

You know what's funny? I've said the same thing to a blonde lady once before.

Yeah. Tough lady. About your age, too. She was here a while back, and she wanted to kick the shit out of whoever's keeping us stuck here.

Maybe she did it on her own, cause she disappeared not long after.

If that's true, I'll make sure the same mistake doesn't get made twice.

Fuckin' around with kids. The fuck is wrong with people?
