Two Fish [Video/Action for Cherrygrove City]

[toofless]

<sub>[Roads were human things. Dragons didn't give a darn about roads-- why would they? They could fly.]

[Once, Toothless had been able to fly...]

[But not any more.]

[To something used to staying WELL out of human sight, that broad and blatant dirt road leading was from New Bark wasn't quite as inviting as it might be to a regular person. As such, it's apparently taken Toothless a good long while to weave his way into the little beach village.]

[And by the time he gets there... he is hungry.]

[The little bento box lunch had been discovered and snarfed down long ago, and by this point, he's ALMOST desperate enough to start chewing on the trees.]

[When the video feed comes on? It's SLAMMED against a glass window-- behind which is a small display of raw meat (nothing too fancy-- ground hamburger and the like) and fish packed in ice-- it's the Cherrygrove Pokemart, and the cameraman (Toothless himself) is so hungry that he's longingly showing all the little people inside his odd talking box the object of his desires. While making some very pitiful noises.]</sub>

Fsh. Fsh. Fsh. Fsh. Fshfshfsh.

_{[To anyone walking by? They will see a burly, spiky-haired teenager parked on his butt outside the Mart window and staring intensely at the display.]}

_{[Bakura receives a sort of wishy-washy whine in reply. He doesn't... particularly WANT to talk to the vendors in there. He's not used to this concept of being given stuff, apart from Hiccup. Usually dragons are chased away or killed if they try to take human food.]}

[shiromadoushi]

It'll be all right. This is one of the advantages of being in human form, no one will realize you aren't one, especially not the store owners!

_{[... He mulls this over a little bit.]}

Ge'fsh?

[Video] *can't remember if there's actuall physical money or a card system...*

[shiromadoushi]

[[a nod]] Un, you can get fish. There's money that you get when you arrive, you can use it to get the fish. [[since he doubts Toothless has used any of his starting cash yet if he's not sure how to go into a store!]]

[Video] I THINK it's physical money...?

[halfatail.livejournal.com]

_{[... Well there was that weird word again... several people have told him about it, but he still has no idea what it is.]}

Mun-ee?

[Video] I've never been too sure @_@ WE'LL GO WITH THAT.

[shiromadoushi]

Un! It's the stuff that looks like.. [[a pause as he goes for his wallet and pulls out a few bits of currency.]] There should be some like this in your bag. You can give it to the people in the stores and they'll give you things for it.

[Video] THAT WORKS

[halfatail.livejournal.com]

<sub>[... Toothless stares at the money in Bakura's hands.]

[... And then his face falls.]

[Oh... uh oh....]

[He'd kind of... left all that stuff... all over the ground back by New Bark Town...]</sub>

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

[[oh dear. It's a pretty easy guess what that face means]]

You don't have anything that looks like this?

_{[... He hangs his head.]}

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

Aaaaaa, that's a problem!

I wonder if they'll do a line of credit...

[[Ponder. Ponder ponder. Well, it couldn't hurt.]] We could try seeing if he'll take a mailed payment. If you show him the gear, I could ask for you.

[Video]

[halfatail.livejournal.com]

_{[... Most of that flew straight over his head, and he stares at Bakura questioningly.]}

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

Aaa-- sorry. Could you show the gear to the shopkeeper? I can talk to him for you and see if something can be worked out.

[Video]

[halfatail.livejournal.com]

<sub>[... Show the 'Gear to the person with all the food?]

[... 8( He's still not sure about that idea.]</sub>

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

He won't hurt you. He thinks you're human, because you look human now.

[Video]

[halfatail.livejournal.com]

Mmmmm. Mmmmmm. Mmm.

_{[But he doesn't waaaaaant tooooooooo ;-;]}

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

[[Man. He wishes he were there to just do this in person... sadly, he is not, so this is all he can offer.]]

Worried about it?

[Video]

[halfatail.livejournal.com]

_{[A disgruntled nod. Toothless is stubborn... AND has pretty good reason to not expect humans to part with their food willingly.]}

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

I guess I can't blame you too much for that. You're used to what you're used to, after all.

[[a pause as he thinks]]

Maybe you could sneak in and just show him the gear? So he wouldn't even see you? [[would that even work? .. maybe this was a bad idea.]]

[Video]

[halfatail.livejournal.com]

<sub>[... It COULD work, but.... HOW. 8(]

[Toothless stares blankly at Bakura. Elaborate, plz.]</sub>

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

[[...Ring of invisibility? Wrong kind of game. Hrm.]]

The counters are pretty high, right? Oh! [[Idea!]] Or you could give it to one of your pokemon to give to him!

[Video]

[halfatail.livejournal.com]

_{['One of'? You are vastly overestimating Toothless' progress so far, Bakura. Toothless makes another face-- he doesn't exactly get along with his Pokemon. At all. ... Yet.]}

Nnmmmrrr mrrrr mrrrr....

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

[[Well, yes, but better to overestimate and be corrected than underestimate and insult!]]

... no good?
