Fourth Flake [video/action for Goldenrod]

[defyingfrigidity]

[For once, when the 'gear flickers on, it doesn't show a hopelessly confused or concerned Elsa. This is good!! Very good.

Instead, there's a great look of excitement on the former queen's face. On her shoulder, a Kirlia clings to her shirt, eyes wide in the slats between its little helmet, mirroring its trainer's expression perfectly. Behind them, the massive buildings and skyscrapers of Goldenrod City can be seen, windows glinting in the afternoon sun.]

This is amazing! Don't you think so, Frigga?

[For someone who normally tries to stay as reserved as she possibly can while communicating over these devices, the sound of such unbridled wonder in her voice may be a bit of a change to hear.]

I didn't know buildings could get this tall... I've read about great castles and palaces in books and such, but I've never heard of anything as tall as this. [She smiles, turning to Frigga.] It sure is something, isn't it?

[Frigga smiles and nods, making a happy noise. Elsa then turns back to the gear.]

Are a lot of cities in this land this... big? Violet and Azalea were both decent enough, but they're nowhere near as extravagant as this city!

[There's a pause, then Elsa looks somewhat sheepish as she realizes just how excited she was just acting. O-Oh dear, and so many people saw...]

I'm sorry if I sound rather.... eager. But things like this... buildings and architecture and such... I've always had a fascination with them. And structures like this never got this big in Arendelle...

Are there more cities like this? Ones with interesting or unique architecture? [Boy, she sure does seem pretty darn eager...] Even if they're not anything like this... I'd like to know what cities to look forward to visiting!

[Oh Elsa, your inner nerd is shining through so beautifully...]

As far as I've seen, no. Most of the cities here are... tiny, by the standards I'm used to. Though I haven't been... terribly far, no.

[He's been camped out in Goldenrod for like a month because he's a nerd.]

My own city has had... many buildings like these, for a very long time. I've... I've designed quite a few at home. Constructed and torn down the old, put up the new.

[Shortly after Elsa's video ends, who should appear but this asshole! Seems he heard the excitement. As Henry approaches, ten wild Murkrows follow him, perching in the nearby trees.]

Elsa, hey!

[FRIEND ACQUAINTANCE. IN GOLDENROD. GOLDENROD FRIEND ACQUAINTANCE.]

Didn't know you were here.

[Holy heck her sister is just adorable]

I knew you would like it here! I've only came here once in passing, but still, isn't it amazing? This is apparently the biggest city in the whole region. Big shock, I know...

[And it certainly shows. Between how amazing the skyscrapers and the city streets are, and the hustle and bustle of the city life...it can very easily be overwhelming for anyone who's never seen anything like it before. Anna loves being around the people, and everyone here seems so nice, but just marveling over the architecture is an experience in and of itself...

As for her Pokemon, Odin seems a bit daunted, but he proudly sits atop Anna's shoulder opposite Frigga, determined to make sure no harm comes to her even though they're more than safe perched on their trainers...]

There are so many people and places to see here, it's kind of easy to get wrapped up in it...

[Ding ding ding hot girl alert time to be cool]

Yo! Hate to burst your bubble but Goldenrod's the biggest city in this region. Which is kinda lame because the city I'm from is a whole lot bigger and brighter, and there's tons more stuff to do. But I guess Goldenrod's not too bad; at least it's a city.

If you ain't ever been here before, I could show ya around. I've been livin' here for months now, I can give you the grand tour.

[red_roses]

Oh, wow, you're in Goldenrod City now, Miss Elsa? [Might've dropped the "Queen" but still has to be polite!]

[a_sin_for_him]

There's another region, you may find some of the cities there offer what you're looking for. I took a trip there last month, it's different but not shockingly so.

But really, there's plenty to see here in Goldenrod.

[The fact that she mentioned Arendelle has him curious. HMMM.]

Arendelle, huh? So... you're from the same world as Anna?

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[Well, it's good that Elsa was looking a lot happier than the last time Veronica had seen her; she was so new and confused about the new world, and now she was smiling.

Good for her.]

This city is pretty big, but I've seen a bigger cities in my travels. There's even taller buildings in some places.

[silentscales]

I think it is, otherwise Joker probably would have set up the carnival in the bigger city. I haven't seen too many other cities, says John.

You should come see the circus this month. We have several acts, says Quincey.

[Oddly enough, as he quotes his friends he takes on a voice that seemed appropriate for his Pokèmon, an Ekans and an Onix. It seems the rest of the crowd hasn't decided to get their two cents in yet.]

[islandshore]

[Riku can't help but smile at Elsa's excitement. Man, he's been there before. Back when he was still a newbie, Goldenrod was pretty impressive.

But, since she asked...]

You might want to swing by Ecruteak if you're into buildings and stuff. That place has a ton of history, especially surrounding the Tin and Burned Towers. As for cities... well, Saffron and Celadon are just as big as Goldenrod. Maybe even bigger.

[artificialrose]

I've heard Ecruteak has quite a few things! Apparently, it's very much traditional according to a friend I knew who loved it there. It seems like Johto and Japan have quite a few similarities, so I guess it was nice for her to be there.
