[Video/Action for Violet City] Sept 20th

[eclipse_of_time]

Oh my!

[Ming is down by the water in Violet City, looking very cheerful and flushed. Her Lapras is visible in the water behind her.]

I feel particularly wonderful this afternoon! Violet City's just lovely, really, we've been having a delightful time! Except for my Hoothoot, but I don't think he's ever happy. I acquired him accidentally - I tried to set him free, but he wouldn't go! He didn't even like the aerial show. One would imagine he'd enjoy that.

But I'm feeling terribly social. I haven't the faintest idea what's come over me!

[Violet City's locally made 'grape juice' is what's come over her.]

Oh! Tell me about your adventures in this world? I'd love to hear them. I adore a good adventure!

You look a very young king. I know a young king. He's blond, too. And very frightened of everything.

But I don't know where he is! We aren't those sorts of companions, you understand. Though he is quite handsome, as far as men go.

What is the King's Game? Is it like croquet? Kings are terrible at croquet, in my experience.

Oh, why thank you, madame~ I just so happen to look bear-y well for my age.

[The one he more than likely made up.]

Now, the King's Game is a magical game where you take a huuuge group of your friends and get a whole bunch of chopsticks. You gotta take those and write a number on the bottom, all of 'em except one! That last one gets colored red. You with me so far? One person takes the chopsticks and holds them by their bottoms so that everything's all hidden. That way it's a surprise when everyone picks one! The person who picks the red chopstick is officially the king and gets to call out a number, giving that person a special kingly degree! They have to do what the king says after that.

Now, I don't mean to brag, but I am amazing at this game.

Oh please, just Ming.

[She blinks, perplexed. Why is she having so much trouble grasping this concept? She focuses on what she understands. Goodness, she feels not herself! What part of mortality is this?]

Oh. Well, I haven't many friends, I'm afraid. Fewer here!

[And Roy seems to do what she asks without needing some magical red stick.]

[Magical sticks will have to wait, Teddie's heart can't help but bleed for a drunken stranger.]

W-What...but...h-how? You're the queen, you should have a ton of friends!

[It didn't make sense, every story ever made it seem like everybody LOVED kings and queens. This must be some kind of mistake.]

Then it's settled! We can totally be friends to make up for it. As the king, I demand it.

I'm just much too busy, I suppose. I'm the only queen, you know. And it's very difficult for me, being what I am.

I don't have no friends at all! Simply...not very many. But the ones I have are dear. So very dear.

[Video]

[kingofthetvworld]

See, that's exactly the problem! You should have a million friends.

[A million.]

But that's okay! Now that I know, I am so gonna help you meet more people. Then you can play the best game of King's Game ever.

[Video]

[eclipse_of_time]

Well...it isn't so terrible a thing! I wouldn't know what to do with a million friends! It's difficult having friends, you know.

That's very kind of you.

[Video]

[kingofthetvworld]

D-Difficult?! Having friends is like the easiest thing in the whole wide world! ...Wow, you really aren't joking about not having many friends, are you?

You're off to a good start, though. You started collecting more pokeys, right? ...Er, by accident, anyhow...

[Video]

[eclipse_of_time]

Perhaps for you. I am not you, and my life isn't yours. I am queen alone and eternal, there's very little room for many friends. It's my choice, you see.

I have three Pokemon companions.
