viiru2alert | eleven (video) ♊ vacation's where i wanna be

[Good evening, friends. Sollux kicks this feed off with a shot of four baby Pokémon -- a Dratini, Bulbasaur, Venipede, and Larvitar -- all kind of napping or something together. The Gear lingers on them for a second, and then twirls back around so everyone watching can get an eyeful of Sollux's hideous glasses. Oh god they're awful.] So, since Team Megido has now touched base in Olivine and I have nothing to do because, oh look, I already have my motherfucking Gym Badge [this was directed towards someone off-screen], I decided that now would be a great time to dick around a little on the PokéGear.

So, it's getting damn close to summer. The weather's getting warmer and it's fucking fabulous, I literally couldn't be happier with the current state of the thermometer right now. Unfortunately, all of the springtime fun and allergies and shit also meant that I have four freshly-hatched little asswipes crawling around all over the place. I think everyone's kind of sick of them by no-- oh, wait, did I say four? Sorry, meant five. [And the screen moves AGAIN, to a picture of an adorable baby Vullaby picking at her feathers.] Look at that bitch. Found her wandering around in the Safari Zone. Do you people know how long I've been looking for one of these? Way too fucking long.

[And then the feed goes back to him. Maybe he's done gloating about his altogether unremarkable accomplishments... maybe.] And now I'm going to get back on topic. Summer. Back on Trollplanet, the Dim Season didn't mean much except the night-time got hotter, and the day-time got... well, also hotter, but the sun also kind of scorched all of your skin off if you walked out there anyway. There weren't any of these... festivals or holidays or shit. In fact, there weren't any festivals at all.

So, what's the difference between a festival and those godawful parties? Please tell me they're at least bigger. I've been dragged to several holiday parties now and all of them have had too many people in not enough room.

Sorry? I wasn't paying attention.

[NO SHIT SHERLOCK]

Oh, you meant those.

[Sollux nods smugly.]

Got a problem with that? I'm a fucking assassin.

Why would I? I got a whip with my actual change of clothes. The ranger clothes?

[ While that remark might not make sense to people who didn't know her original strife specibus... ]

I hope Envy finds a travel party soon. She's still on her own.

Yeah I noticed. What was so distracting you up and ignored me?

She's probably going to keep on trying to be a lone ranger unless someone forces her into a group.

OT is fucking weak.

You're OO instead.

I guess she does seem like that kind of person. Kayneth, too.

[ WHAT'S WITH ALL THESE LONE RANGER TYPES. ]

... Ohhhkay then. I'm guessing this is a good thing?

You're not going to try to phase her into Team Megido, are you?

Yes. Very good.

So why that? [He's trying to figure out if Obito was too long or something.]

I'm not! Everyone would have to agree on new members - I wouldn't just ask people randomly. Besides, she's going linearly several cities behind us, I think.

[ ...Wait a second. ]

Why are we Team Megido, anyway?

Because I like two-letter nicknames, that's why. And double duality is best duality.

Ohhh, gotcha.

[Totally.]

Yeah, that's...actually pretty spot-on. Because if you get right down to it, a convention really is just a giant, indoor festival with a specific focus, typically of a geeky nature at least in the sense I am familiar with. You don't have to socialize if you don't want to though I don't see how that would be very much fun.

Perhaps you are simply not thinking creatively enough about... [Kanaya trails off at the chittering from the Venipede, and then gently offers him out to Sollux.]

Apparently he likes Swish.

[Okay fine, he'll take it.]

And I AM the best... Excellent.

For one thing, a Festival tends to be held over a few days compared to a party's timespan of a few hours [depending on how crazy it is], not to mention, they're generally held in a bigger area than say, a single floor of an apartment building.

[...do you really have to be smug about the badge thing... well okay he'd be smug too, but aristocrats are allowed to be smug

...he'll be polite and ignore it, it was probably a jab at his companions...]

...Your world's sun is intense enough to burn your skin off during the daytime? Well, I suppose you were used to it, but it's difficult to imagine a species surviving that long in those sorts of conditions.

I'm sure you've heard about the fact that festivals are generally outdoors affairs, but they usually have more venues of entertainment than your average party, as well. What is actually present depends on the festival and who's coordinating it, of course, but you can usually find a wider variety of food, competitions, music... those sorts of things.

It's a very nice bitch. [ He told her to look at it, so she did. ] Is there anything else you're looking for?

I can keep an eye out in my travels.

[Morgiana... doesn't get things, does she. A smile flickers on Sollux's face.]

Thanks. Where you at now?

[ This world is full of strange terminology, so she does what she can to match it. Often this produces hilarious results. ]

I'm on the road to... [ Pause, then: ] Viridian City.

Because Megido is the one with the bigass travel binder, and I'm pretty sure none of us would choose to travel with one another on our own.

I dunno, you would be surprised. I can have a lot of fun by not talking to anybody. [Because that worked out so well for him last time he tried to cut off contact with humans...]

Did you even go to Breedcon? I wouldn't call the thing geeky so much as I would call it... well, lame. Though I guess if it's just an outside version then that's a bit better.

[He stares at the Bug-type.] You seriously like Swish?

[Nod! Nodnodnod!]

...FML.

Got a badge [and the power to play] yet? If you're even collecting Badges, that is.
