001 [Video]

[starspangledavenger]

[the view, which seems to be of patch of grass, is jostling around, tapping as well as a muffled curse] ...probably Stark technology. [the camera jostles everywhere as the man turns it around in his hands] Wait, Stark's name isn't on it, can't be his. What Stark would miss the chance to plaster his name everywhere.

[the camera moves around some more, mostly catching glimpses of the ground and a building, the man huffs] Do you know how this works?

[a pokemon makes a negative sounding "ri" before the camera moves again, catching a glimpse of sky but then is obscured by a thumb] Yeah, me neither.

Seems to be on. [moves his thumb, a man with short, tidy, blond hair and curious blue eyes comes into view, his blue top fits perfectly to his muscles, but is otherwise unmarked] Is that the len- This is one of those video phone gadgets.

Okay, so best guess is someone can or will see this, so does anyone know what or where this place is? What century is it? Because it seems more like I slept into a few centuries this time, I mean I have my little blue companion with me, so it's not all bad, but I just want to know where I woke up this time. Because this isn't Kansas. 

[feed goes black with a muttered 'oops']

Comments

[arrogantalloy]

You know. It warms my heart to know that the second you pick up something shiny with buttons you think I designed it.

But at least you're right in one thing. We're so far removed from Kansas right now.

[starspangledavenger]

[another person, that's always good]

I'll admit, it was bizarre to find useful technology without your name on it.

Seems you are too, or else you learned to cross space communicate.

[wouldn't be that surprised if he did]

[arrogantalloy]

Now you're just trying to turn me on.

Not that communicating through space is really all that hard, it's more just a matter of finding a faster way to do it, but even I have trouble breaking speed of light, especially right now. And really if we're going to get technical. I think this is more cross dimentional.

[starspangledavenger]

And to think I thought that'd require a button.

So, in other words, you're here. Enjoying the lack of gadgets?

[arrogantalloy]

Depends on the person really.

I'm working with what I've got, can't really say I'm enjoying all that much of it. But hey, Giant metal bird, a lizard with fire and a marshmallow bunny. It makes up for the lack of gadgets... For now. And yeah, I'm here.

[starspangledavenger]

That only leaves questions.

Well, sounds like you have an interesting mix of creatures. Are all the creatures here a little bizarre? The one with me is small and blue, like nothing I've seen, but she's nice.

[arrogantalloy]

Good questions, I hope.

Well, I've been here two weeks and I've gone over the Pokédex a few times. It's like kind of like a digital A -Z of animals. But for the Pokémon. Some of them are a little, well, some kind of look like ... Well the make Hulk look normal. But the cat's seem to look mostly like cats.

[starspangledavenger]

I'm not entirely sure I know your definition of a 'good question,' Stark.

That sounds... alittle bit disturbing. At least I'm glad I like cats. I'll give the Pokédex a look through. Thanks.

[now to figure out other ways to use this gadget]

[arrogantalloy]

Most questions really, they're only bad when they come from the media or Hammer.

Where are you? Because I've seen you near my phone, so I some education needs to happen I think.

[starspangledavenger]

After what I saw in the forest, I'm not surprised Thor's hammer doesn't ask very good questions.

I'm in New Bark, well, more the outskirts. And your phone was perfectly fine after I was done.

[arrogantalloy]

That wasn't so much asking questions so much as trying to tell me what to do. And that's never gone well.

Come to the Pokécentre. I'm outside. And you somehow changed my ringtone, and you managed to send Rhodie my hacking program. I know everything about his life, I didn't need it all again.

[starspangledavenger]

I'm well aware of that fact.

Wait, why would you have something like that on your phone?

[arrogantalloy]

I don't like being in the dark on things, Or I feel like someone's hiding something from me, or to prove that people are blowing smoke about something. It's a handy program.

[starspangledavenger]

That's very... fitting.

Alright. I'm on my way over.

[arrogantalloy]

See you there then.

[When Steve finally get's there, Tony'll be out on a bench with a fruity looking drink with his Buneary sitting on the table close by]

Action

[starspangledavenger]

[Steve strolls up, his bag slung over his shoulder with the top part of his uniform sticking out of it, he's followed by a Riolu that just keeps staring up at him, pointing in the direction of the Pokecenter every time Steve looks down at her]

Thank you. I see it now.

[the Riolu looks happy, still pointing the way. when Steve sees Tony he smiles and waves]

Fancy meeting you here.

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony looks at the Rilou and smirks.]

Of course you get one with something on it's chest, and is blue.

[He looks back at the Rilou]

Has he taught you the Star Spangled Banner yet?

[He smirks to himself as his Buneary watches the conversation then comes to the edge of the table and waves to both of them.]

eary!

[starspangledavenger]

[Riolu tilts her head, giving Tony a curious look]

Rio?

[then is promptly distracted by Buneary, giving a small wave of her own. Steve looks at Tony]

Hush, Grace is a vision of beauty.

[Steve then gives Buneary his attention, smiling]

Hello little one, I'm Steve.

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony raises a very droll eyebrow]

Wouldn't happen to be short for 'Amazing Grace' would it?

[The Buneary beams at him and waves again, chittering her 'name' at him.]

She only hatched a few days ago. Seems to have a thing about going into her ball, kind of clingy actually. The others aren't so bad.

[starspangledavenger]

[Steve raises an eyebrow right back at Tony]

No, she's just quite graceful for walking on her toes.

[that and a little bit to do with another song, but that's not relevant]

Seems quite the handful, aren't you little miss? [grins at her, then looks back at Tony] Here.

[he tosses his Pokedex at Tony, clearly assuming he'll catch it]

[arrogantalloy]

[He looks at the Rilou, then gives a shrug.]

Take your word on that one.

Buuh~!

[She wiggles excitedly at him before skittering back to the elbow Tony has on the table as he does in fact catch the dex in one hand.]

She hasn't left my side since she hatched. So really, even here. I can't blink without having girls all around me.

[He smirks.]

Right, sit, and I'll teach you how to use this thing.

[He slides it open and starts poking around in it.]

[Action]

[starspangledavenger]

[huffs a laugh and decides that's response enough on the girls comment]

She got a name?

[Steve sits, watching Tony poke around on it]

Someone said I could point it at a Pokemon and it'd give me information.

[Action]

[arrogantalloy]

Hmm?

[He looks up at Steve, then glances at the small Pokémon.]

Uh, Pep. And you can, you just have to select the Pokédex, well, we'll call it an app.

[He tilts his hand so Steve can see the gear's screen as he pulls up the Pokédex]

And then point.

[He points the device at Pep, and the Gear pulls up information on her species and says:]

A Rabbit Pokémon. It rolls up its long ears, then unrolls them with great force to slap enemies. This attack stings enough to make adults jump. It uses its ears not only to attack, but also to sense danger--they stand straight up when it senses a threat. Its fluffy fur lets it sleep in warmth and comfort on cold nights. When it levels up, it evolves into Lopunny.

Too easy, even for you, don't you think? But then, it's meant to be easy enough for ten year olds to you so. Suit syou to a tea.

[He playfully teases.]

Re: [Action]

[starspangledavenger]

[carefully watches everything Tony does with the Gear, raising his eyebrows, impressed by the tiny device, then looks at Tony]

Sure, easy for ten year olds, mildly difficult for anyone born outside this century. Lucky for you, I'm a fast learner. Does it do anything else useful? Might as well show me everything while we're at it.

[Riolu climbs up to sit by Steve, curious as to what they're doing, but not saying anything, Steve smiles at her, before returning his attention to Tony]

[Action]

[arrogantalloy]

Hmm, well we've got a map, that's handy, really. And the phone, which you managed to broadcast over the network to. Sometimes you being a mancicle's useful.

[He flicks through everything slowly so Steve could see what he was doing. Pep, moves to sit on his arm so she can watch.]

There's a radio you can use, you can download songs and games, but you probably wont care about tho- Wait.

[He opens one app.]

You can draw in this one here.
