voice testing

[killstealing]

Well, now.

Almost got everything set, haven't we?

Guess, it doesn't hurt to test out the old voice.

It's not like we'll be given many second chances where we're going.

Surprised you didn't lose any toes in that.

Eh. I'll give it a look around. Can't promise nothin', but I'll still promise a gander.

[begetsvengeance]

I like to think I was built tougher than the average girl.

And that's fine by me. I can appreciate a sentiment or two every once in a great while, even if it's just a "gander".

-- goddamn that sentence of mine /coversface

[killstealing]

So I gotta ask.

What's your starter?

Shh, it's okay! (1/2)

[begetsvengeance]

Hang on a sec, I'll get 'im.

(2/2)

[begetsvengeance]

[And suddenly Toxicroak.]

It already evolved, as you can see, but this is him.

[killstealing]

Not caught up on the new ones.

I'm guessin'... water type?

[begetsvengeance]

See, literally any person with at least half a brain would think that.

But it's not. It's actually poison and fighting. He wasn't originally going to go with it, but then a friend joked about how it was the "perfect fit" and the rest is history.

[killstealing]

Guess you can't judge a book by its cover.

Friend?

Who'd that be?

[begetsvengeance]

Oh, one of my player's friends. He was still in the process of writing my app when his friend came up with the idea. Naturally, he thought she was a genius and bam, next thing you know I'm spending my days frozen in the wilderness with a creepy-ass frog.

[killstealing]

Who're they bringin' in, then?

And you're right. It doesn't have much charm to its looks.

[begetsvengeance]

No one, unfortunately. They're just a fan of the series who wanted to get their two cents in.

It won't be winning any beauty contexts soon, that's for sure but he's fairly tough and totally scares the shit out of my opponents. What more could a girl like me ask for?

[killstealing]

Fair enough.

Nothin' really. I'd be quite troubled if ye ended up with something overtly cutesy. But that's not our style. Oh no, what would mine be, this player's wonderin'? Don't take it as a challenge to think up something cute.

Oh wow, I actually get to use this icon for a change

[begetsvengeance]

Wouldn't dream of it. I'm such a good sister, after all.

Anyway, I actually do have an idea what of your starter would be. It's right over here.

GLORIOUS.

[killstealing]

A snake? Guess it's better than some cute little thing...

So what's this one even?

ISN'T SHE ADORABLE?

[begetsvengeance]

Seviper. It's got a pretty wicked rivalry with another 'mon, kinda like the rivalry between you and Travis. Plus, just look at that grin. That is totally you calling him up about another stolen kill.

TRULY IS.

[killstealing]

I'd teach the little bastard how to steal kills from that other 'mon. Ensure to get all the EXP after all the work the other put into it. Seems like it'd work out best for the both of us.

[begetsvengeance]

I like the sound of that, actually. Glad to see you found my pick agreeable. There were others, yeah, but that one definitely suits you the best.

[killstealing]

And it isn't somethin' obnoxiously adorable. I can't get over it. It at least looks like it could bite someone's face off.

[begetsvengeance]

Just like it's potential trainer, huh?

[She couldn't resist that one.

...not that she tried very hard.]

[killstealing]

I'd say that'd be right, but ... I don't even know where their face had been. Better to just cut it off instead. Save the trouble for 'im.

Can't let the 'mons do everything for us, yea?

[begetsvengeance]

See, that's why I go for their hearts; I always know where those have been.

And yeah, letting them do all the fighting isn't really that much fun. Luckily, I actually got into a fight on my own less than a month ago. You shoulda been there.

[killstealing]

Took a bit longer than I thought...

But time for a flashback, is it?

[begetsvengeance]

Sure, why not. You know Clair from Gold and Silver? The tsundere Gym Leader? She threw this huge party for everyone a few weeks ago. I went, because why the hell not. Anyway, as it turns out some chick I know was selling booze when she wasn't supposed to. I casually snatched a bottle off of her, so she chased me down and we fought over it.

Then I elbowed her in the face and got her into a leglock. It was petty, sure, but I was bored and it amused me.

[killstealing]

Well, people shouldn't think we're easy to mess with that much is for sure. That's the only negative about goin' anywhere... the fights that we'll have to get into.

While some of 'em are good for the sake of keeping the blood pumpin', the rest that might pop up is just ... like ye said... filler... and annoyin' at that. Just like rank fights but with no real achievement at the end.

[begetsvengeance]

Well, there's something to be said about filler fights. Sure, this fight wasn't challenging or anything, but at least it kept me from getting too rusty. Everything in Johto is about training my team, but sometimes I want to train myself. Seriously, is a fist fight every once in a while too much to ask for?
