???th rebuttal; fourth wall
[ It's another one of those times, isn't it? Naegi is a little apprehensive when he wakes up in Ecruteak City, fully expecting having to deal with those Monobear Eevees or being chased by a Beartic again. Instead, all he gets is his gut telling him to climb the Tin Tower. He's not sure why that is suddenly such a good idea, but he figures that he might as well do it - if nothing else, maybe sitting at the top and admiring the view is the key to a quiet and unremarkable fourth wall weekend.
And after the last two times, all Naegi wants is an unremarkable event that does not involve bears.
What awaits him at the top is everything but unremarkable, however - the rainbow bird isn't quite as big he expected, but its mere presence is enough to make Naegi tremble. Ho-oh's wings are bright and colourful and almost seem like they could encompass the entire world if outspread. It stares down at him with striking red eyes in a way that almost makes him feel compelled to bow down to it. Then it suddenly takes off into the wind, a rainbow trailing behind it as it leaves Naegi standing there dumbfounded.
He's not sure how he managed to act so fast, but a few seconds later he's grabbed his camera from inside his bag, his finger on the button and click. He'll check if the picture came out decent later (and send it to Nanami as promised), but for now he's just going to. Stand right there on the roof and look like he just had some sort of religious experience.
Feel free to approach him; he likely won't mind and otherwise he's going to be content spending his time admiring the view. ]

Once it's safely holstered, he walks over to check...out...oh for god's sake that's Naegi isn't it.]
...Nerve of iron. That thing could've eaten you in one snap and you've not even the sense to look rattled...
[he's saying it in a nice way but holy shit, dude]

[ hello there, chaos-kun, how are you doing. ]

Buddy, it's...it's a giant bird. Giant things eat things. You don't Disney Princess at giant things with that much confidence EXCEPT APPARENTLY YOU DO BECAUSE THAT'S HOW YOU ROLL?]
...Here you stand uneaten, so I can't argue the tactic. [he gives up man.] What was that?
no subject
Ah, that was Ho-Oh, a Legendary Pokémon. It's said to show itself to pure-hearted trainers and those who see it are promised eternal happiness.
no subject
...Where've I heard that name before... [The implication of that is not lost on him, though. Hee.] "Pure-hearted", eh?
no subject
[ Awkwardly. He's not really sure why he'd be considered pure-hearted of all things. ]
no subject
...I mean, I think the notion of "granting happiness" is an odd one, but. [SHRUGS EXAGGERATEDLY his point stands. He does remember where he's heard the name before now, though.]
no subject
[ Naegi tilts his head to the side at that last bit, giving Walter a curious look. ]
What's so odd about it?

There's an idea, though. The question then goes to why it bothers going before people, with nothing to give or nothing desired.
no subject
...I have no idea. Because it wants to?
oh wow i fucked up that html
Well enough! [He shoves his hands in his pockets, apparently content with that.] So, where is this, anyhow? I was still in Goldenrod last I looked about.
well done tbh
[ all he wants is a nice and quiet fourth wall for once, sob. ]
