embezzling | ✯ I ; video/action for new bark ✯

[ Uh-oh, it's that time again. All of the new kids have started pouring in on one of Johto's famous sweeps of the dimensions--

Well. "Kids" might not be the most appropriate term to use here. ]

The heck is going on here-- [ A popping, deafening tap-tapping on the Gear's voice recorder could pop the eardrums of anyone listening too closely. Thump, thump, it beckons dully. The voice behind it sounds gruff and with the gravelly tone of a deep-chested smoker. ] Is this thing on?

[ The video feed flips on (accidentally) and viewers are greeted to a shiny pair of shoes and the bottommost hems of a dapper pair of slacks. The thing is clearly being held upside-down... ] Stupid technology... [ A cream-colored creature saunters over those feet, rubbing on the man's legs.

The device is flipped around and our vocal complainer's face is revealed. Oh he's... Old, squinting through his glasses. ] What's the big idea here? One second I'm trying to find my slippers, and the next I'm bein' woken up by some lady who's saying she's my mom! [ A 'Reeeowr~!' mewl busts in from down below and Stan shuffles visibly to the left. ] I'm not a fan of cats either.

[ Oddly enough, he seems pretty resigned to this like it's just a bad dream or something COMPLETELY NORMAL. ]

I shouldn't've eaten that can of peas before bed. Should'a known they weren't of this Earth. Now I'm hallucinating.

[ Sure, Stan. Whatever you wanna believe. ]

Guess I'm just riding this one out.

[ The cat screeches as her tail is stepped on and the feed abruptly cuts off on a flailing note. ]

Will you get outta here--!

[ Booop! ]

You should apologize to your familiar, after all, your survival depends on it!

[He had this whole thing he was going to say about consuming things not of this world, but just Stan, no.]

It was an accident. We made up. I swear!

I would hope so. As I said, it is necessary for you to survive in this world.

[You're not getting anywhere without Pokemon, bro.]

And to consume otherworldly sustenance so brazenly, I would say you are either incredibly brave or a fool beyond compare, but the answer seems obvious.

[There. He said his stupid thing about the peas.]

I eat whatever's in my cupboard that's not being saved for the Apocalypse. I don't get out much.

If space peas is what I got, I'm eating 'em.

So you are both incredibly foolish and yet, prepared for an inescapable inevitability. Interesting.

[Gundam, he's probably just some weoird doomsday prepper and not...whatever he's thinking.]

[ He IS in fact a weird doomsday prepper. ]

How the heck is eating food interesting? If you didn't feel like going to the store on the regular, you'd eat whatever you got in the house too.

It is not so much the food itself, so much as what it says about your very being!

Lots of things say something about my being, okay. Peas shouldn't.

And why should they be the exception?
