princelyspirit | Duel 01 // Video & Action // New Bark Town

[A blurry splotch of white and red fills the screen, before the camera zooms out to show a Ponyta standing in an open field. It sniffs the air curiously before it faces the camera again, and trots over as a girl speaks in the background]

Hey, careful there-oof!

[The Ponyta's face fills the screen and the camera jerks around wildly, before focusing on a large, blue eye. It blinks as it zooms out again, finally revealing the owner of the pokegear: a young girl in her early teens, with an angular, heartshaped face and long, bright pink hair. The pokemon nuzzles against her, and she sighs as she strokes its nose with her free hand. Compared to a human, it appears quite small; about the size of a miniature horse. Once it settles down, the trainer turns her attention to the camera. Her brow furrows as she begins to speak]

Is anyone out there? I just got done with that professor guy, and – look. I don't know what you want us to do with these “battles”, but first of all, I don't have any time for that. I've got more important things to worry about right now than some silly game! And second...

[looks back at her Ponyta] Even if I was interested, these guys don't really look like fighting material to me. Maybe if they were bigger, or stronger, or....huh?

[Pauses, and blinks while Ponyta moves away – there's a rustling sound as it nudges the bag off-camera. She sighs, and the camera jerks a bit as she pulls it away from him]

...look, all I need is a way out of here. If any of you guys know something... well, I'm all ears.

[and off goes the transmission]

[ She doesn't even know what part of what she's saying means. ]

Of course, I am capable of consuming human meals. Such is how I can afford to sustain with on the most prized of blood.

[...stops, and replays the message - what the heck did she just say? Shakes her head, and just focuses on the part she was able to make sense of]

Well, you'd better stick to normal food, then. You wouldn't want some big guy to come after you with a cross and some garlic, would you?

[trying to keep a straight face, and succeeding, mostly. Her voice sounds a little too amused to be completely serious, though]

[ It sounds fancy, she must be using the words correctly. ]

Kukuku, I eat garlic for breakfast~

[ It's her favorite flavor, actually.. ]

Now that's cheating. Aren't all vampires supposed to hate garlic? It's right up there with crosses and sunlight and holy water - you know, all that vampire hunter stuff.

My powers have far exceeded that of a normal vampire. Though holy water has the ability to ward me off temporarily, the other things are merely sand piles on the road to my success!

And what exactly were you trying to succeed at? Pulling more lands into your dark abyss?

[completely deadpan there]

Plunging the world into chaos, kukuku~

Huh, not bad, for a vampire. I thought you guys stuck to tormenting villagers and lurking around in castles. But, do you really think you can take on the entire world? It's a pretty big place, you know.

As one of the few here who have their powers left in tact, it is only natural that the powerful survive and rule the masses~ Kukuku!

[ That's an evil thing to say, okay. See how evil she is with her evil laugh? Totally. ]

[Oh, that is dreadfully evil. Utena gives an exaggerated sigh and shakes her head]

Sorry, but I don't think I can let you do that. I mean, this place has enough problems without and evil vampire overlord, don't you think?

An Evil vampire overlord would be most fit to bring order to the land then, kukuku~

Sorry, but I don't think order would be worth it if you're going to plunge us all in darkness and suck our blood. Besides, weren't you trying to create chaos back home? That doesn't sound very orderly to me.

Kukuku, what little choice you would have makes your apology matter little~

[ She puts two fingers up to her eye in a dramatic gesture. ]

That wasn't really an apology...

[scratches the back of her head]

Look, I've got to get going to the next town. Try not to cause too much chaos and destruction while I'm gone, alright? It wouldn't be any fun to walk into a place that's all rubble by the time I get there.

I offer no guarantees~

[ Kobato signs off first since she knows a bye when she sees one! ]
