ojamameansfamilyReal freakin' funny, you clowns!
[Enjoy the weekly complaints of a new arrival, Johto. Today delivered in the slightly scratchy tones of an annoyed teenager who's used to having an audience on demand. The situation is not being helped by the Goomy sticking itself to Chazz's shoulder, gently gumming at his hair.]
I've never heard of a Pokemon, and I don't care! Sounds like a lame Duel Monsters knockoff. You wanna challenge me or something, just come out and say it like a man!
[He folds his arms, scowling into the Pokégear for a second before gesturing at the Goomy.]
And how the hell is this thing a dragon?!

[At least one, in the literal sense. Who thankfully doesn't seem to have followed him here.]

Date: 2016-01-05 07:53 am (UTC)[...Now, you can't tell if that Goomy is a girl or a boy.]
She's so cute! Where'd you get her-- Oh, wait! Are you new?
[Well. That would be the logical thing, if you don't know what a Pokémon is. But Nowi's pretty dumb, so.
She's also staring into the 'Gear, completely transfixed and smiling brightly so that's... a thing.]
Re: [VIDEO]
Date: 2016-01-06 06:42 pm (UTC)[What is wrong with literally everyone here.]
And if you mean did I wake up here with no clue how I GOT here, with this thing-
[He makes a vain attempt at pulling the Goomy off his shoulder. All it gets him is a thin layer of slime covering his hand.]
-oozing all over me, then yeah I'm new.

no subject
Date: 2016-01-18 11:59 pm (UTC)[Chazz that is not a positive.]
...And what kinda name is "Johto," anyway? That sounds ridiculous.
[Aaaaand now he's just complaining to complain. More than he already was, anyway.]
[Audio]
Date: 2016-01-05 08:33 pm (UTC)I can assure you, that...'thing' is a dragon. I've had personal experience with its evolved form; it isn't to be taken lightly.
That is, if you put any effort into training it, of course.
no subject
Date: 2016-01-06 06:53 pm (UTC)[Chazz takes a quick look at the Goomy before again trying vainly to dislodge it for a second.]
...Right. I'm supposed to just believe that, then? This thing's more like a chewed up gumdrop than any dragon I've ever seen.
[The gumdrop in question chooses this moment to burp up a few bubbles, apparently unconcerned about the insults being thrown its way.]
no subject
Date: 2016-01-06 11:08 pm (UTC)Whether you believe it or not is up to you. I'm just telling you what I know from experience after being here for a year and a half. There are worse first Pokemon you could have ended up with.
[Though he won't deny that Goomy on its own is a little...ehh.]
no subject
Date: 2016-01-19 12:02 am (UTC)[Chazz Princeton's areas of expertise: card games, being rich, tempting fate.]
...So what's it do in this little fantasy land you live in, blow bubbles at the enemy until they fall over?
no subject
Date: 2016-01-19 12:42 am (UTC)[He ain't lyin', bro.]
And to be blunt, yes. And it's going to continue to do so until it's been trained. That's your job, as a trainer, if you decide to bother with it.
no subject
Date: 2016-01-20 05:35 pm (UTC)[He gives the Goomy another futile tug.]
...You sure I can't just trade this little pile of crap in for one that's already housebroken or something?
no subject
Date: 2016-01-20 11:54 pm (UTC)[He might be on Audio right now, but you can hear the smirk in his tone.]
If you're that dissatisfied with what you have, go catch something else. I can't promise you it will be any easier to train, but maybe you'll find something more...aesthetically pleasing.

Date: 2016-01-21 09:52 pm (UTC)All I will tell you is that trying to go anywhere without a Pokemon will be unwise, no matter how much you dislike what you're starting with now.

Date: 2016-01-30 12:19 am (UTC)[Do you really think he's pretty, sempai?]Yeah, it's supposed to be my bodyguard or whatever, people keep saying.
[People and the handbook, at least.]

Date: 2016-01-30 02:38 am (UTC)Slow down there friend]More like partner- or companion, some would say- but that's another way to look at it, yes.
[video]
Date: 2016-01-05 09:03 pm (UTC)[Don't mind Dio. He's just going to act calm and collected and like he wasn't in Chazz's shoes just a few months ago.]
Re: [video]
Date: 2016-01-06 07:03 pm (UTC)[He's been drafted into some kind of monster mob where people won't even appreciate his trading card skills for what they are. This is Hell, isn't it.]
Too scared to own up, huh. Figures.
[video]
Date: 2016-01-06 08:41 pm (UTC)I would hardly consider London to be the boonies. It's far more likely that this Duel Monsters thing simply hasn't been invented yet.
[But enough about him being from the past, he'll just continue, and decide to be sarcastic. Because no one accuses him of being from some backwater place.]
And while I'm sure that whatever brought anyone here is simply petrified by your terrifying demeanor, you may want to keep your...creature around, just in case it does make an appearance. After all, it's what you'll be expected to face it with.
Re: [video]
Date: 2016-01-06 09:41 pm (UTC)[Spirits and monsters he'll accept, but time travel? Ridiculous.]
[The Goomy, meanwhile, is happily wobbling away on its perch.]
Yeah, I'm really gonna send this little creampuff against ANYTHING. It'll have 'em just shaking.
[Why is everyone insisting that this thing is in any way A, cute, or B, a threat.]
Watch out, it might DROOL on you.
[video]
Date: 2016-01-06 10:01 pm (UTC)[Or Dio could be completely wrong here. He's trying to work out exactly what Duel Monsters is and why anyone would go to school for it.]
And even if there's not, unpleasant as it may be, you'll be stuck with it until you find something better. This world does revolve around the things after all, whether we like them or not seems to be of no consequence.
Re: [video]
Date: 2016-01-19 12:08 am (UTC)[This better not be more cryptic mentoring bullshit, he's had enough of that to last the rest of his life.]
[video]
Date: 2016-01-19 06:15 am (UTC)[He is so not the wise mentor character.]
Re: [video]
Date: 2016-01-20 05:25 pm (UTC)If this place revolves around pests like these, it really is a dump.
Like what, you're supposed to just rely on this trash until it magically gets better through the power of friendship or something? I'm not gonna do something that lame if I can just go out and find something better.
[Yeah, he's gonna do exactly that.]
[video]
Date: 2016-01-20 10:25 pm (UTC)[Because there's just no chance of any sort of happiness or friendship evolution with this guy at all.]
Re: [video]
Date: 2016-01-21 03:51 pm (UTC)What a freaking pain.
[It's better than the alternative, but he can't exactly admit that at this point.]
...So what's stopping someone from just making their own little freaks fight each other to get better?
[They gave him two of the things, that has to at least be an option.]
[video]
Date: 2016-01-22 02:31 am (UTC)[If somewhat cruder than he would put it. In public anyway.]
And as far as I know? Not much.
[He admittedly considered making his Golbat and Noibat fight to the...well, not death, but certainly fight to keep a place on his team before deciding having two horrifying bat monsters was better than just one. So he can entirely understand where Chazz is coming from here.]
Though I find it much more worthwhile to direct them at others instead. After all, competition is much more exciting when you also have an opponent to contend with.
[...actually, he just likes destroying NPC trainers.]
Re: [video]
Date: 2016-01-30 12:39 am (UTC)I suppose I'll have to show these losers who's boss sooner or later anyway.
[He feels like he JUST got done with this.]
[video]
Date: 2016-01-30 07:08 am (UTC)[So long as he doesn't try to show him, Dio, who's boss, Dio's completely fine with that attitude.]
[video]
Date: 2016-01-06 04:17 am (UTC)Right, because that's going to get you anywhere. You want to punch whoever did this, you get the hell in line.
Re: [video]
Date: 2016-01-06 07:45 pm (UTC)[He's not your buddy, pal.]You got any better ideas, Pinky? I'm sitting here getting slimed by an overgrown slug, like hell I'm not gonna at least try calling out whoever did it!
