Eleventh Flake [Video/Action for Ecruteak]

[defyingfrigidity]

... Well. Hm. This is new.

[Not the sudden chilly rush washing over her, and the return of the pleasant coolness in her gut that she now knows is the signal that her powers are returning. She's been through this twice now, and to be honest, she wasn't even going to bother doing much today, assuming she didn't get zapped off to some other city miles away like she's heard others complain about before. She was just going to go about her day, maybe make a few flurries for her pokemon to enjoy while they spent time outside, and just. Not bother with the network much.

But this time was different. Only a few minutes after she left the inn, she was accosted by a bird. And not just any bird. A rather large, elegant-looking blue bird. But instead of attacking her or her pokemon, it just sort of. Cuddled up to her.

And it still is when Elsa records this video. It's making soft cooing noises as it nuzzles the top of her head. The poor snow queen just seems absolutely bewildered, reaching up every once in a while to try and fix her mussed-up hair.]

I've... never seen a pokemon like this before. And it won't leave me alone? It's not aggressive, as you can tell, but every time I walk away, it just... keeps following me.

[And right she is. All throughout the day as she makes her usual rounds around Ecruteak and chats with residents and visitors, the Articuno is there with her, either following right behind her or perching on nearby buildings and watching over her.]

[Elsa laughs.]

Even here, if things seem too good to be true, they usually are, yes?

[Not that Elsa's complaining.]

Even if this is only temporary, I'm glad I've gotten the chance to meet a legendary pokemon without the chaos that the past couple of Novembers have brought with them.

[killer_sweets]

It's way more interesting then normal I'll give it that

[It was a bit subjective whether it is good or not though.]

Technically the world is in chaos right now, it's just that it is more expected than usual. This time has been sort of tame for me at least.

[defyingfrigidity]

Well, by chaos I mean battles of absurd proportions. There was that... thing a few weeks ago, and last year there was the battle between Team Aqua and Team Magma last year. That's a bit more chaos than usual.

But I agree... the influx of temporary visitors and strangeness hasn't been all that odd this time around. [She huffs, just a little.] And I'm very glad for that, after what happened last time...

[killer_sweets]

I guess the last time was the most over the top battle we were in. Plus being part ghost pokemon wasn't too fun.

[He didn't need to know that fear tasted like candy.]

Last time the crazy weekend started, some voice in the sky told me to fight myself literally.

[defyingfrigidity]

[OH MAN SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS]

Oh, I know exactly how you feel. I, ah... had some trouble with passing through walls after I started turning into a Froslass.

[Which lead to some awkward stuff with Asami but HAHA YEAH NO NOT GUNNA MENTION THAT...]

I... what?

[killer_sweets]

My probably was I kept falling through the floor. You would think it wouldn't be that hard to just float in midair.

[It was a good thing he got the hang of it before he had to sleep or that would have been hell.]

Yep, a weird voice started talking to me saying it was some sort of god and wanted me to fight this clone of myself. You know like all the Joys and Jennys around around here.

[defyingfrigidity]

Oh, I didn't even want to try that. I'd already made enough of a fool of myself passing through walls. I think my friends would lose any respect they had for me if they saw me trying and failing to fly...

[And you know, she's not all that tough. She'd probably break something before she could make any sort of progress.]

That's... downright bizarre. Did you fight it...?

[killer_sweets]

Well it was a copy of me, so if I hadn't fought the thing it would have killed or have taken a limb, since it was in serious mode.

[He nearly lost a limb.]

[defyingfrigidity]

... Wait. Are you saying that you would... do such things?

[OH GEEZ WHAT KIND OF KID HAS SHE RUN INTO...]

[killer_sweets]

I'm saying if I was being serious I would. I can fight without killing anyone, just knocking them out would be fine. However I know myself with enough, doing that would have been impossible with that clone.

[He's your friends "adopted" little brother.]

[defyingfrigidity]

[Ohhhh dear.]

So... you were able to stop him, then? Or did he disappear along with the rest of the temporary arrivals when things went back to normal?
