???th rebuttal; fourth wall

[ It's that time of the year again, and Naegi has decided to stay away from high places this time if he gets a say in where he's going to spend the day. He'd rather just have a nice, quiet afternoon with nothing too insane happening to him. The large machine that appeared in the middle of the street from nowhere reminds him of murderschool but he remembers getting some nice stuff out of it, so it's... actually acceptable and doesn't bother him too much; it beats explosive Monobears any day of the week, really. ]

I wonder what I'll get this time?

[ There are large piles of Monobear coins surrounding the machine, so all he has to do is to scoop up a handful and shove it into the machine and see what comes out.

8th rebuttal; text/action for Goldenrod (backdated to the 15th)

(TEXT)
"Our words shall remain here for the ages.
Thus we shall erect a Pokémon statue outside.
They possess great insight and refuse the outside world.
We humans must learn to walk in harmony with them. We depart for their sakes."

I hope I remembered that correctly, and I'm sure some of you will recognize it. It's something Kirigiri-san and I found when we explored the Ruins of Alph last year. What do you think of that place? I never cared that much for history back in school but seeing the remains of an ancient civilization was a fascinating experience (though it would have been better without the trapdoors under my feet.)

P.S. Who here plays chess? I'm looking for more people to play with.


(ACTION)
[ It's been over three months since Naegi left Goldenrod to travel around Kanto with Ishimaru, and it's so good to finally be back. This is where his home is, and where his classmates live. It's also where the fuzzball horde is (28 goddamn Eevees), and when he opens the door they all swarm en masse just as expected.

Naturally, the first thing he's going to do is to start petting them all because they are adorable and he's missed them too. c: ]

???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. ]

7th rebuttal; video/action for goldenrod

(VIDEO)
[ For once, Naegi's trademark hoodie is nowhere to be seen. This is worth mentioning because he is a person who is willing to lie about the hoodie doubling as a safety helmet just to keep Ishimaru from taking it. But there are days when it's too hot to be wearing a hoodie and today is one of those days.

...Which is why he's wearing an abomination of a short-sleeved hoodie instead. Because that's how this protagonist rolls. Judging from the background of the video, he's somewhere in a park and the BGM is a giveaway that said park is in Goldenrod. ]


...You know, there's one thing I've been wondering for a while. I've never been to the cave since it's over in Kanto and I haven't even seen one for myself, so...

[ Pause. ]

What does the rest of a Diglett's body look like? You only ever see the head, but there has to be something hidden beneath the ground.

[ Naegi asks the most important questions, apparently. It's one of those things that suddenly occurred to him and it refused to leave him alone, hence why he's asking the network. ]

(ACTION)
[ Anyone who happens to be out and about in Goldenrod might find him in the aforementioned park, where he's currently training his Scolipede to catch a frisbee. So don't be surprised if you see a giant murderbug go after a flying disc at speeds you wouldn't expect from something so bulky. Sometimes she misses her target but when she does manage to catch it... well, she basically does this (pretend it's not a shiny, okay) and looks pleased as hell.

If you need some sort of hook, maybe said frisbee is about to hit your character in the head. c: ]

6th rebuttal; text

[ Good day, Johto! The text that appears on the network today is an unusual one. ]

hello, hello. i am ALTER EGO the PORYGON.
trainer MAKOTO NAEGI has ceased to function normally and is not responding.

this is important and i am at a loss for words. and i rarely lose words!
how do i fix my TRAINER?? :(

did somebody DELETE his system32?
did anybody back up his files?
furthermore, his antenna is bent sideways and is unable to receive WI-FI signals.
KYOUKO KIRIGIRI, you should take better care of his EQUIPMENT!! >8(


(ooc; Naegi is as of today in a canon update coma and will return in a week. In the meantime, you get a distressed cybernetic bird.)

5th rebuttal; video

[ The feed flickers on to Naegi, who appears to be somewhere in Ice Path at the moment. The cave wall behind him is white with snow and ice and his breath is turning into mist in the chilly air. His hood has been pulled up so far over his head that it casts a shadow, making his face seem darker than it actually is. Fuck the cold, man.

The coat he's wearing is sticky with a thick layer of goo and the culprit behind it is none other than the Goomy Bloober he's cradling in his arms. Said Bloober has been wrapped in a towel, effectively making it look like some kind of slimeball burrito. ]


So what have you guys learned about our, um, slimy friends so far? Ishimaru-kun and I are helping this guy here through Ice Path and so far we...don't really know much about it. It doesn't seem to like the cold very much which could mean it's part Grass.

[ That's...a reasonable assumption to make, right? Flying's out of the question and he's pretty sure dragons aren't tiny slimeballs. Then again, it looks nothing like a plant... ]

Or it's just better suited for warmer places? It resembles a slug and I think gastropods are cold-blooded so maybe that's why it doesn't like this place. I don't think Johto is its natural habitat at all...

[ There's a pause as he shifts the Bloober around in his arms. There's one last thing he wants to ask. ]

Anyway...we'll be in Blackthorn in a few days, hopefully, so I was wondering what's worth seeing there? We're going there for the hot springs but I want to see the other things the city has to offer.

???th rebuttal; 4th wall



[ For some reason, these strange Eevees can be found around Goldenrod today. They're fairly affectionate (?), but the "Upupupupu" noises they make are...kind of unnerving, and there doesn't seem to be a shortage of them. More and more of them keep appearing and they all seem to come from the same place. That place being the Dangan house. ]



[ The door is wide open and a continuous stream of Monovees come out, making "Upupupu" noises in unison as they go their separate ways on their sacred mission to... spread despair or something, who knows. Naegi is standing outside as this this unfolds, and the look of confusion is evident on his face. What the gently caress, Johto. ]

What...am I supposed to do?

4th rebuttal; text/action for the dangan house

ACTION for Ishimaru; spoilers for DR1 )
[ Later, Ishimaru's gone back to bed and Naegi can't sleep because fuck these nightmares so he decides to write up the following text and post it to the network. It's still godawful o'clock in the morning but maybe someone's around to help him kill some time. ]

How do you keep 30 Eevees and their evolutions from shedding fur all over the house?

Also, what do you do when you can't sleep?


[ That's it, that's the post. He's not even exaggerating about those thirty Eevees. If any other dangans are awake, they'll find him playing tetris in the kitchen or playing with one of the Eevees. ]

3rd rebuttal; video (action for Violet)

ACTION for Violet, contains endgame spoilers for DR.  )

( midoriflies.jpg & VIDEO )



[ Bigger version here. 'Sup, network, today Naegi decided to showcase one of the photos he's taken. In case you can't tell, the photo features a Dragonair and a Ducklett flying above a tree. Yes, I got lazy and used a custom brush for the clouds.

The video shows Naegi sitting on a bench somewhere in Violet and he seems to be in a good mood today, judging by the small smile on his lips. The Dragonair from the picture is curled up beside him and occasionally a snore can be heard from it. ]


Midori evolved into Dragonair today. Isn't she beautiful? I think she was really looking forward to it because she took flight as soon as she evolved. Although I don't really understand how she can fly with those wings. I'm guessing that's just another case of Johto being Johto, huh?

[ There's no logic to how things operate in Pokéworld, really. After almost four months in Johto, Naegi's able to shrug it off as nothing out of the ordinary. His Togetic can fly without flapping its wings so he can accept the head wings. At least they're not Victini's butt wings. ]

I bought a camera so I could capture moments like this one. I'm not really a good photographer, but I like how this one came out and I think it's a great way to preserve memories of my time here.

Speaking of memories, I'd like hear about yours! I know a lot of you want to go home as soon as possible, but I'm sure you've had some good times in this world, too. Things like making new friends, or just enjoying the sights.

[ No, really, tell him about all the positive things Johto has brought you. Having said that, he reaches over to cut the feed. ]

2nd rebuttal; voice (backdated to june 9th)

[ The past few days have been really strange, really. And just when Naegi thought things had gone back to normal, he went ahead and got himself into some trouble. Having some actual good luck is apparently too much to ask for. ]

Can anyone hear this? [ The audio is disrtorted with static, making his voice difficult to pick out. ]

I...I'm stuck on the roof of the tower in Violet City. I don't know how I got here-- I encountered a Pokémon and then I fo-- [ The audio cuts abruptly here for a split second. ] --yself here.

I'd really appreciate some help.

[ He hastily ends the transmission there and hopes for someone with a Flying-type Pokémon to come to his rescue soon. He isn't exactly about to fall to his death any second now, but he'd really rather not sit on this roof longer than necessary. ]

( filtered to Ishimaru and Mondo later that afternoon, video; )

[ The PokéGear seems to be behaving normally now, thank god. Now that he's safe and sound on the ground, he decides to toss up a message for his classmates as there is something he really needs to address. ]

Um, guys...? Please respond as soon as possible-- I found something you ought to see. I think it's from the school.

[ Having said that, he holds up this lovely endgame spoiler in front of the camera. ]

ding dong that is wrong (fourth wall event; anywhere, anytime)

( SCENARIO A )

[ Some hooded guy is running around like a headless Torchic on X Speed. And by hooded I mean his hoodie is zipped all the way up and preventing him from seeing anything. What does this result in?

Naegi running into every possible object on Arceus's green Earth. That includes the street lights, brick walls, you, your Dialga and everything else. He'd pull the zipper down if he could but the powers that be makes it impossible because they don't want to give him a fucking break.

Other people can pull it down for him, thankfully. But it'll inevitably zip itself back up after a while. ]


( SCENARIO B )



[ Dun dun dun. Enter the majestic beast, Monosaring. Has your life been plagued by a lack of meaningful chase scenes accompanied by appropriate music lately? Do you think you can outrun a bear?

Now here's your chance to find out! Naegi's already running as fast as his legs can possibly carry him. ]

1st rebuttal; video (action for cherrygrove)

cut for some text you don't have to read. )

( action; around noon )

[ Near the outskirts of the town, Naegi can be found battling the local wildlife. Right now he's trying to train his Togepi but it doesn't seem to go too well. ]

Use-- [ The Togepi doesn't let him finish the sentence and immediately starts wagging its arms back and forth to play Metronome roulette. When it stops, everything seems to be okay for a few short seconds before it begins to glow with a bright light followed by an ear-splitting explosion. ]

( video; )

Good afternoon, everyone! I'm Makoto Naegi, a Pokémon Breeder. I just arrived the other day so I don't actually have much to breed yet, and I haven't finished reading the guide... Um, but that's not what I'm posting this for. I'd like some help regarding my Togepi. [ He adjusts the camera, and it pans out to show a Togepi resting comfortably in his lap. Naegi is stroking its head gently as he continues to speak. ]

You see, she knows this move called Metronome. But almost every time she uses the move, she seems to end up hurting herself; one time it turned into Double-Edge and after that, she used a move that made her faint... but nothing else happened. I'm not sure why. [ The move he's referring to would be Healing Wish, but the Sentret he had sent out in Togepi's place had already been at full health. Generation IV moves, how do they work? ]

I healed her up at the Pokémon Center afterward, but then she used Metronome and... um, she exploded and fainted again. So I'd like to hear any advice on what I should do about it. She's young and really seems to enjoy using the move, regardless of the result so I'm not sure what should be done. I don't want her to keep hurting herself, but it's also the only attacking move she has. Is there a way to control what you get at all?

[ That's all he has to say regarding this particular issue so he figures that's a good point to change the topic as there's one more thing he needs to include. ]

... Also, if anyone here is from Hope's Peak Academy, please respond as soon as possible.

[ No, wait. He shouldn't limit himself to only addressing those from the school. When he thought about it, he had some questions that someone from outside of the school might be able to answer. Maybe they knew more about that incident... ]

Um, actually, even if you've only heard of the school before, please respond.

[ The Togepi makes a chirping noise in a high-pitched, cheerful tone and Naegi picks up the PokéGear to cut the feed. ]
