video;
[ Someone's certainly happy today. Aradia has absolutely no clue what's going on, but she knows when it's going on to exact degrees and she's a god tier troll again. Life is good! Although she's also apparently doing spontaneous teleportation, at least going places is a lot easier! She has all the time in the world.

May as well ask about whatever is happening, even if it's mostly happy. ]

This isn't normal, right? I've been to several different places without staying for very long, and I stopped taking my map out about five stops ago. I don't think I can check them off as places I've been if I only stay for a handful of minutes at a time, right?

Oh, but I'm a fairy again! Well, a troll. [ If that was not incredibly obvious from the video. Gray skin with a reddish tint when she flushes, curling horns, and yellow whites of the eye... ] I missed flying!

Is everyone else doing okay?

action;
[ Alternately, catch Aradia as she's ported through to different places, although you might have to make do with a quick chat. Hopefully she doesn't catch you in an awkward position. She'll eventually end up at Violet City, where she'll be for most of the event. Happy lazy coincidences! She'll be flitting around town and poking at anything interesting and talking to whoever. Indy the Gastly is going to be out and flying with her for the duration of the event, because she pretty much never puts him in his pokeball. ]

Maybe. It's difficult to compare much right now. [you know, with only one experience she really remembers]

We don't need to worry about comparisons, anyway! Do you want me to show you anyplace in particular? Oh! They do have movies and things here.

Movies? [she feels...something stirring in her at the mention of that]

Yes! Like Troll Indiana Jones! Only not that one, obviously. Unfortunately.

We wouldn't be lucky enough for that, no. [Troll Indiana Jones is badass enough to transcend the apathy of death. true fax.] Is there anything similar to it, though?

I think there's a chance there might be? There seem to be equivalents of many movies and books here - just with pokemon in them. We could always find a video shop and attempt to find the right crossover?

It's something to pass the time. [don't let her bored tone fool you, she actually looks vaguely into this. Doctorturer Jonesssss ♥]

[ No worries; Aradia knows how much they love the Doctoturer! She'll start walking to where she thinks a video store is, Gastly following behind her. ] Yes! I'm not sure how much time we have, but I'm certain there's at least enough time for a movie.

[after a pause to see if her own pokemon is determined to continue following them (it is) and a resigned shake of her shoulders Aradiasprite follows]

Time is the least of our worries. Especially when it comes to something we actually want to participate in.

Oh, that's true! I'd gotten used to thinking of it as being a concern - usually I don't have our powers here.

[ But now? Now they really do have all the time in the world.

It's a nice feeling. ] Oh! Indy, this is Aradiasprite - Aradia, this is Indy.

[ Aradia gestures to the Gastly following her, with a smile. ]

[she regards it with the same faintly puzzled disinterest as her own pokemon]

Good to meet you, I guess.

[she looks over at his trainer]

Is he supposed to be that way or did he die?

He's supposed to be that way! He's a ghost-type pokemon. Isn't that right, Indy?

[ Gastly responds with Gast-gast-gastly or some variation thereof; Aradia just laughs. ]

I'm not sure if that's a joke by this world or not; it doesn't seem to be.

It feels more...[she pauses as she casts about for the right word] thematic to me. We can't escape our motifs.

Thematic sounds right, really; although maybe a fairy would have fit more with my current motif? Leaving a ghost pokemon for an even earlier version of ourself.

Maybe you're supposed to find it yourself. You only start with your past in reality anyway. [barring extenuating time shenanigans, of course]

Maybe you're right! I'll have to keep an eye out for one...

[ Oh look, video store! Time to try to look at titles. ]

It shouldn't be too difficult to spot. [you know. wings and probably glitter and all that flashy shit.

for all her dour stoicism Aradiasprite is flipping through the adventure titles with some rugged determination. apparently even amphibian ghosts can appreciate good films.]

That's true! [ Although she hasn't spotted any flying pokemon save birds so far. But she'll figure it out!

Aradia is flipping through titles with equal determination. The Skorupi King, Finding Magikarp, Kangaskhan Jack...She can sort of see the parallels to what they're meant to be, but no luck so far. ]

[A Feebas Called Wanda, The Aristodelcatties, Enter the Dragonite...this was a lot more difficult than she thought it would be]

Do you think someone got to it before us?

Hmm. I suppose we could check up front...? [ Although Aradia still isn't certain what title they're looking for - Ivysaur Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark!

Yes, she is holding it up triumphantly even as she tries to read the back cover to spot Poke-differences. ]

[not only does that cause Aradiasprite to drop the copy of The Maltese Swellow, there's a tiny something that might almost be a triumphant smile on her face]

Good to know that our excavation skills still work.

[ The Maltese Swellow is far less important than Ivysaur Jones and his presumably epic and potentially adorable adventures. ]

Isn't it? We'll have to visit all the ruins we can on our journey here! Between the two of us, we could probably uncover a lot...but for now, I've got a hotel room with a television. [ And they now have a copy of this film! ...Once Aradia goes up to rent it, anyway. ]
