21 // [accidental video]

[Oh, hey Johto, that's a pair of big yellow eyes staring into the screen at obscure hour of the morning. Hopefully that didn't startle any viewers, because Vanitas isn't doing anything more than staring at the screen. His eyes shift slightly, and it becomes apparent he's playing a game.

Sounds like tetris or ekans.

His expression has a hint of determination behind the mildly bored look, but its when the game beeps loudly in warning of 'disaster' does he narrow his eyes. Whatever it is he's doing, he's trying really hard not to lose, but it's hardly another few minutes before the game pukes out a GAME OVER and Vanitas' expression sours entirely. Curling his lip up and hissing, as if the game did it on purpose, he actually pouts before shoving the Gear away and under something; probably a pillow, since the weight is enough to turn the feed off within moments.]

Stupid freaking game...

Obviously. [Nope. His expression has finally blanked out entirely, managing to look as uncaring as before.]

[Just gonna sigh and shake his head. He can't make Vanitas do anything, but he wishes he wouldn't act like this]

[It's like dealing with a five year old, huh?]

How many badges did you have left anyway?

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

[A little. Mostly because Ven doesn't want to push too hard]

Three of 'em. There were ones I skipped getting because of what was going on at the time.

[video]

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

Which ones? [Where are you going to be.]

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

I need to get badges from Mahogany, Olivine, and Azalea.

[video]

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

[Quiet a moment, he shifts his eyes away.]

Mahogany is ice, Olivine is steel. I need my Azalea badge still as well, but that's where I'm heading right now.

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

And that one's bugs if I remember.

[video]

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

There won't be any problems then. Ice works well if I remember right.

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think so. Flying types have an advantage too.

[video]

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

So all of mine except Minun should be fine.

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

I almost feel sorry for Bugsy.

[But then he's pretty much there to be beaten]

[video]

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

Especially since they're all at their highest level now.

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

Geez, he's going to get curb-stomped.

[Guess who picks up lingo that isn't swearing?]

[video]

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

[Blame Heather and Karkat, tyvm.]

Maybe I should just show him the stats and let him decide if he wants to fight or not. Just to be nice.

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

I'd think he would probably still try...

[video]

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

Then he'll be... curb-stomped, you called it?

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I guess it's what happens when somebody's really outmatched.

[video]

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

I think I like that term. [Mental image of what curb-stomping looks like, when it's not used in Pokemon battles.]

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

...Guess I should've expected that, huh?

[video]

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

What were you expecting?

[video] ...thanks for the notifs, lj

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

I wasn't actually thinking about it.

[What is forethought?]

[video] lj is a priiick

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

[He'll just shrug here.] You wouldn't.

[video] it is, ugh

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

I guess not.
