3. 7 | Video | Lavender Town (Night Time)

[scratchitti]

 [The camera comes on to Neku grinning slyly on the screen. Or... is it Neku? His eyes are usually a bit more gray in color, not a bright almost unnatural shade of blue. And he's NEVER made that expression on the Gear.

'Neku' snickers and points the Gear off to the side- they are near the Radio Tower and there seems to be a small swarm of Ghost pokemon all excited over something. Mostly Ghastly, with a few Litwik and Pumpkaboo. And in the center a voice that some people might recognize as the *actual* Neku.]

Ngh, where the hell is Nagi? Ack, hey! Watch where you're grabbing!

['Neku' snickers again before muttering something to some more passing spirits]

Zooo...?

[The ghosts look interested, and float over to join in the Neku touching before 'Neku' gives the screen a V for victory]

[Neku, he realizes you have your...moments, but this is odd even for you.]

What's so interesting about them? They aren't even paying you any attention.

[No, they're still clustered over there...where Isogu is starting to curiously pad over, his ears flicking forward as he sniffs at the air.]

[Action]

[scratchitti]

[Oh thank god Isogu, cuz a hand finally escapes the horde, and Neku half drags himself only to pass out cuz those are a LOT of Litwik with big ol flames sitting on him

'Neku' sees this and goes a little pale. Oops]

[Action]

[unkinder]

[...Ah.

The Raichu jumps back with surprise, getting down on all fours with his cheeks sparking.]

Rai rai!!

[He barks at the Litwick in an attempt to scare them off while Nagi watches from where he is, his gaze shifting from Neku back over to 'Neku'.

Nagi exhales a deep sigh through his nose, reaching onto his belt for one of his Pokeballs while Kodo frantically floats over to check on Neku.]

...whichever one of his you are, I suggest you change back now.

[Action]

[scratchitti]

[The Litwick scatter, and while Neku is passed out, his vitals are fine- he's just sleeping- drained but not hurt

'Neku' on the other hand sticks his tongue out at Nagi. R u d e]

[Action]

[unkinder]

[Nagi chooses to ignore that while Isogu hops over to Neku, placing a paw against his cheek to see if he can rouse him at all. Meanwhile, Nagi's letting out another one of his Pokemon, his Umbreon. She drops daintily to her paws on the ground once he releases her, her ears twitching as she looks back at Nagi for an order.]

Take care of those. I'd rather not stand out here all night.

[With a soft bark, Seishin approaches the ghosts with the gold rings on her body glowing menacingly, ready to attack them if they don't stay back of their own volition.]

[scratchitti]

[the ghosts scatter easily enough, though the ghastlys make faces at the Pokémon as they go

Neku groans a little, eyes fluttering]

[unkinder]

[With the ghosts more or less gone, Seishin is just gonna...pad a few steps closer and place a paw on Neku's cheek.

Are you dead. Did you die.]

[scratchitti]

[Nope not dead. He opens one eye slowly]

Ugh... what?

[unkinder]

[Neku will see Nagi next as he walks over to where he's laying on the ground.

...and he holds out his hand, looking off to the side irritably.]

Are you finished playing with ghosts, Neku?

[scratchitti]

If that's... playing... I don't wanna see you NOT having fun.

[unkinder]

You make it sound like you didn't expect that was going to happen.

[scratchitti]

I DIDN'T. It's not like I go poking ghosts.

[He rubs his aching head]

[unkinder]

[Nagi huffs, pulling his hand back as Isogu comes bounding over and puts his paws on Neku too, as if to triple check for alive-ness.]

What were you doing, then?

[scratchitti]

I was training Josh when-

...oh that little shit!

[unkinder]

[...so that explains it.]

If I knew you were going to have this much trouble with your Zorua, I would have come with you.

[He's already had enough issues with his own.]

[scratchitti]

He's never gone this far. Ugh, whatever- I just wanna go to bed.

[unkinder]

[Isogu and Seishin continue to ward off the ghosts while Nagi sighs and steps closer, gesturing in the direction he came with a slight nod of his head.]

I was preparing to head back to the hotel anyway.
