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.]

Maybe someone hit the reset button?

I doubt the world is ending - this seems about normal to me, actually.

No, I'm pretty sure the entire Southern Hemisphere feels the same way.

[Siiiiiiigh.]

So do you want someone to ask you about it, or are you just looking for idle conversation?

[That was a good question. Sometimes resets worked and sometimes they didn't. Sometimes things got worse. Or you got a blue screen.]

[It starts to sink in that Alice isn't her peppy jump-across-rooftops self today.]


Not necessarily but...I don't think the world's endin'.

And that assumes whatever planet we're currently on is even round to begin with, doesn't it.

Is that the going theory for the time being? ...Well, it makes as much sense as anything else, I suppose.

So what got you started on all of this, anyway?
twinsanity: (That will never do)

Do you always turn on the device while you're looking like death warmed over, just to complain about the weather?

Oh, what is it now?

[Oh, god, exactly how much does he really want to - ]

Who's "he"?

[...in for a penny, in for a pound, apparently.]

[OH MY GOD SOMEONE ELSE BOTHERED BY THIS.]

It's totally ending. That's gotta be it!

... I'd rather not have another end of the world. One was enough.
