BURGERS [Jaunt]

[ninjayeehaw]

[Someone's started a livestream versus a Pogemon - but not just any one. A humanoid hamburger monster is the focal point of the visuals; almost hyperfocused, in fact.

The emotions are no help for this one; literally the only thing getting projected is rapt excitement and the rush of adrenaline.]

So someone mentioned burger monsters!!

Comments

[whydoyoushine]

...any of the Shadow Line monsters would have run circles around that thing.

[Zed is Not Impressed.]

[ninjayeehaw]

[Don't worry bro, Kinji is Equally Unimpressed by the monster wriggling around beneath his boot, and his enthusiasm is fading in favour of mild annoyance.]

[shiroganeheir]

First, that is not the proper way to use a chair as a weapon.

Second, that is possibly the most American thing I have ever seen.

Third, I've seen low-level Shadows more intimidating than that thing.

[fawkestheories]

What the... [ Hey he's from a world where the scariest monsters are mostly humans ] I think I missed hearing the warning about those. I'm sticking with soup for the rest of this little excursion.

[triggerhappytraitor]

[[Well that isn't good...]]

Did you need back up?

[ninjayeehaw]

[In the same moment Tachibana asks that, there's a loud Jabu jabu jya! from behind Kinji, and the 'camera' jolts as he's hit by a sharp, brief wave of water like a hose got turned on him.

There's a brief flash of annoyance amongst the energised excitement as he turns briefly to glare at Yakumo, behind him and unarmoured, ready to launch a second Goton shuriken attack. Behind him, Rodeo is briefly visible, dripping with mustard from the waist up.]

[triggerhappytraitor]

[[...backup was already had, then.

...Between the friendly fire, the burger monster and the mustard attack, as well as Kinji's over exuberant enthusiasm, there really isn't any sort of feeling of danger or urgency to this at all, so he'll just... keep an eye on things and go talk with them both afterwards]]

[truerevelation]

...damn. That ain't just a publicity thing, then.

[If it was, he's pretty sure he could put together a better costume.]

Who picks grunts that you can eat, anyway?

[ninjayeehaw]

Funny y'should say that - the grunt just begged us t'not eat 'im.

[truerevelation]

Tch. It'd probably give ya indigestion if ya tried.

[...whoa, man, let's back away from the casual... yeah.]

Think it's really expecting it?

[ninjayeehaw]

Don't think it was expectin' t'get attacked by what looks like two Pogemon an' a Slammer.

[truerevelation]

[Kanji snorts.]

Yeah, I get the feelin' these guys are small fry. ...small fries? Shit. Uh. Been watchin' the news and they're showin' up all over but no-one's having trouble with them yet. You guys probably scared the ... ketchup outta it.

[ninjayeehaw]

They ain't exactly measurin' up well t'a trio a' fighters. An' it was just tippin' tables when I found it.

[There's no small amount of disappointment here. He'd been hoping for a good fight.]

[truerevelation]

Sounds almost more like it's just tryin' to get attention than anything else.

[vrepit_no]

[That is just a waste of good food.  Hunk would be mortified. ]

…It looks like it could be contained with a lunchbox.  Maybe it could be taken to that pogemon research center place.  They might be able to tell us more about it.

[ninjayeehaw]

[A few minutes after the stream ends, Kinji's back and more ready to answer questions.]

Anyone got a clue t'this Nevermore character? Sounds like they might be a Pog.

[icanhearscreams]

... It sounds like something my father mentioned once, but I can't remember. Something to do with poetry?

[triggerhappytraitor]

...It's the name of the Pogemon who tried to to take over both worlds before.

Who mentioned it?

[ninjayeehaw]

The burgermonster we just fought. Seems like that's who sent it out.

[triggerhappytraitor]

... Nevermore is supposed to be dead.

[[This was. Not good.]]

[ninjayeehaw]

[He's just gonna throw the memory up of the monster, gripped in his and Rodeo's hands.]

It was talkin' in future tense. Ain't as dead as y'all thought.

[triggerhappytraitor]

[[..yep. Not good]]

...Twice over.

[[he really does not like the idea that this might be something that will continue to repeat even after they're gone...]]

So the winged figure that Lyall saw....

[[he would have to ask the man if he would share the image later...]]

[shiroganeheir]

Nevermore? There is a poem in my world about a raven who says Nevermore. It isn't a raven, is it?

[papacerberus]

[Lupa's been listening to the conversation, and when Naoto brings up ravens, well, he can't in good conscience stay quiet. Especially considering the draw he'd felt.]

Malik's Avatar, Auriel, is a raven pogemon in this life. I was also drawn towards Malik, so while it could be a coincidence, I believe the information should be shared. If it turns out to not be a coincidence, I would advise caution.

[professorwolf]

Yes! One of those! I ran into one myself, shortly after I sent along my message about them. There will also be ones like... soda cans and pizza. Fast food sorts of things.
