Video 3: Someone's Got a New Toy

[justanexpression]

[When the feed turns on, it's immediately obvious that Jack is excited about something. He's practically bouncing, and if he had his powers, he'd definitely be in the air by now. Instead, he has to settle for grinning at the feed.]

Okay. This? This is the best thing ever!

[He turns the gear around to find Phil the Seel looking surprisingly smug for a Seel.]

Okay, Phil. Let's go. Show 'em your new trick.

[Even off-camera, the excitement in Jack's voice is obvious. And contagious, from the sound Phil makes as he shifts to face a large tree that has apparently been used for target practice this morning. As he concentrates, a block of ice starts to form just in front of his horn before he launches it at the tree where it shatters spectacularly. Somebody is learning Ice Shard, apparently.

Jack comes back in the shot with a whoop. You can almost see the gears turning as Jack thinks of all the things he can do with Phil's new talents.]

How awesome is that? He'll be making snowballs in no time.



((OOC: In case you're lame clueless unused to Pokemon like I am, Phil's Ice Shard is similar to the Mamoswine's here. Less powerful, obviously, but he's still learning.))

Hey, cool. Of course it'd be better if you did a combo, like say Hydro Pump and Ice Beam?

[That's a good thought, and he thinks it over carefully.]

I don't think any of them know those, yet, but you really don't want TOO much water in your snow. I mean, you need it pretty exact to get good snowballs.

Well, I was thinking more along the lines of a giant ice pillar you can throw at your enemies but that works too. Actually, if you use Water Gun and Ice Beam, you can make ice slides.

...That would be pretty cool, but I was thinking more about fun than having enemies, you know?

Now ice slides, that's thinking.

Oh yeah, you can get real creative with 'em too, I made one just the other day with three loops.

[justanexpression]

Pfft. Just three loops?

[Okay, so he's teasing, but Danny should have SEEN some of the stuff he could come up with back home.]

Well, it was supposed to have a corkscrew and a funnel, but Jaws ate that part.

Now you're talking. Don't forget the jumps, too. Jumps are practically the best part.

Totally. That's why it ramps up almost ninety degrees before you hit the water.
