013 [Video/Action for Goldenrod Pokemon Center]

[soggypastry]

[It's known to quite a few people that Lightning has been sleeping for a week now. What isn't quite as well known, however, is that her Lucario hasn't left her room no matter which human is at her side. So when the gear clicks on to show Lightning still sound asleep, there's the edge of a black paw on the feed. That pretty much clenches who's recording this.

Recording what, you may ask? Well, just watch the human on the bed as she slowly comes back to the world of Johto. She blinks for a bit, obviously still half asleep, before she slowly raises a hand to her forehead.]

Fal'Cie...

[And, before she can say anything else, Lightning is tackled by her Lucario. Over the happy yips and other noises he's making, the sound of the gear clattering to the ground isn't heard by anyone in the room.]

It's probably because they were so big. Not much could hurt them, so they didn't need to fight unless they were attacked. [...maybe. Fang would know more but she's not here, so...]

[video]

[paladinlost]

That sort of confidence is impressive, but from what you've said they can afford it.

[video]

[soggypastry]

They were the biggest monsters in the area. They could afford it without anything trying to make them lunch. [Not like the six of them at all.]

[video]

[paladinlost]

What about the other local monsters? Were they nearly as impressive?

[video]

[soggypastry]

[Headshake.] The Behemoths only stood half as tall, and they were the next biggest thing. They'd pick a fight with anything that got too close, though.

[video]

[paladinlost]

Aggressive or not, I'd still take my chances with the Behemoths.

[video]

[soggypastry]

[Nod.] You'd have a better chance. Until they pull out their chainsaws, anyway.

[video]

[paladinlost]

Behemoths are dangerous enough with only their fangs, claws and magic. What world would find giving them weapons a good idea?

[video]

[soggypastry]

Apparently, the one I'm from. Whatever made it and the Behemoths liked to screw with us.

[video]

[paladinlost]

Only a particularly sadistic mind could explain the creation of the Behemoths, yet the deepest chambers of the moon were filled with them. I long wondered how the sleeping Lunarians were supposed to return to the surface, with all these monsters on their path.

[video]

[soggypastry]

[As if reminded of something, Lightning is silent for a moment, then she shakes her head.] Probably with a lot of running and hiding.

[video]

[paladinlost]

The Behemoths are most often found on a rather open path, but luckily the caves beyond are filled with small chambers to the side. If they manage to reach them...

[video]

[soggypastry]

They'd have stood a chance. [Maybe. Hard to say for sure with how little she knows.]

[video]

[paladinlost]

At least Fusoya will be there to help them against the beasts. Golbez will also probably return to help, too.

[video]

[soggypastry]

If they can clear the place of the Behemoths, they should be fine. [Shrug. Being that the things were stupidly aggressive...taking them out would be a good thing.]

[video]

[paladinlost]

They might be able to manage it, with enough ethers and potions. ...As long as the Red Dragons and the Deathmasks stay away.

[video]

[soggypastry]

[Iconface. Just...icon face.] I doubt that'll happen. Monsters appear when we don't want them to all the time.

[video]

[paladinlost]

They do tend to have terrible timing. Those who hide in treasure chests are particularly frustrating. How can three Ogres fit in a single chest?

[video]

[soggypastry]

[Iconface. Sorry, Cecil. Her world didn't hide monsters in chests. Or Ogres, either.]

It might be better if that question stays unanswered.

[video]

[paladinlost]

[After trying to imagine the sort of flexibility those Ogres would need, Cecil is forced to agree.]

Perhaps it might, indeed.
