Jun. 3rd, 2012 10:29 pm[ when the feed turns on, Tavros, sitting in his wheelchair with the camera pointed toward him, holds a hand up in front of him. between two fingers is the Mineral Badge from Olivine, and he grins. but wait!! then he does a nifty little trick with his fingers and the rest of his badges appear between splayed fingers—all of the ones from Johto so far, up until Olivine.
he looks mighty pleased with himself (for a change), grinning almost the entire time he talks. ]
Hehe, pretty cool, huh? I just got another one, the one from Jasmine, uh, pretty much only a few minutes ago. [ he gathers the badges into his open hand. ] That makes five now, and that means that there's mostly not that many to go before I'll have all of the badges. Well, from Johto, anyway, I guess. Still, that is partially an "all of them" situation, basically.
[ but then his grin fades a little. ]
If I can tell something in an honest fashion to the individuals that are listening to this... I'm sort of not really sure if it's just because I feel more confident, in a way, or if it's because my Pokemon beasts are especially formidable now, but this is pretty much more of an accomplishment than, uhh, other things I ever did. It's kind of... nice?

Apr. 22nd, 2012 10:11 am[ Tavros sits on the edge of his hotel room bed, both hands resting on the neck ruff of a Luxray that is seated next to him. she's curled up and mostly asleep, aside from occasionally peeking one eye open and leering at the window, where a small, brown shape can be seen popping up every so often.
for his part, Tavros seems pretty... down. he doesn't speak up right away, unsurely glancing at the camera and then down at the Luxray next to him. when he does start to talk, he keeps his gaze down. ]
I sure have a lot of beasts in my possession that come to me because of the departure of their trainers. After this one I'm starting to kind of wonder why? I mean, uh... not the thing where they come to me, because that part is already something I can ask them why about and they can tell me. The Pokemon, I mean. [ he spent plenty of time communing with this one, that's for sure. ] What I mostly meant was the part about why they have to in the first place, because of having, uhh, nowhere else to go. Since their previous keeper is gone.
[ a furrow in his brow, then he looks over at the camera, frowning. maybe a little angry-looking to go with all that upset. ]
Why is that a thing that keeps happening? To others and not some people, uh, how is that being decided, and by who, that's what I want to know. Because it is making for a lot of sad individuals, and especially sad Pokemon. All of mine are sad Pokemon that miss their trainers.
[ ... sigh. ]
I miss my friends too.

Mar. 23rd, 2012 11:01 am[ today, our friendly neighborhood campeador sits side-saddle on a Rapidash in motion while he makes his video post. they seem to be wandering around Ilex Forest (close to the Azalea entrance, for anyone interested in running into him), alone save for the occasional flash of a rogue Diglett popping up out of the ground in the background. stalking him. menacingly. ]
... uhh. Hi, okay, I was going to talk about something, but, I sort of forgot what that was going to be, originally. It seems that somehow, through some meticulous effort and, uh, other such things, I have managed to obtain three badges out of... however many that there are to get. I think it's eight? [ pauses to think, then shrugs. ] At first it was just a thing that I was doing just, you know, to kind of, uhh, prove to certain individuals including myself that it even was a thing that I was capable of.
But now I sort of am enjoying the task a little more than what was, uhh, previously expected? So, uhh... I mean, so, I guess that's good.
[ it's pretty obvious that there's something else he means to say there rather than what he ends the thought with, but he decides against going back and correcting himself or adding on to it. possibly because there are individuals that are listening in that he would rather keep certain thoughts away from. ]
I'm not sure where the next insignia of accomplishment is for us to get, but, I can kind of assume based on recent things that we will most likely be going to get that one next. So, just, that's what's happening to be going down, if anyone was wondering. About me. And Vriska. Because she is also doing the thing that I'm doing, at the same time as me, in the same place, uhh... coincidentally.
[ awkward smile??? ...(unsure)
okay yeah he's just going to stop here and switch to text for a couple of private messages. ]

Feb. 12th, 2012 11:22 am[ behold, a clutch of eggs all clustered together in front of the camera. Tavros directs from behind, resting the camera on the arm of his wheelchair (so the view drifts around every once in awhile, wobbling and threatening to fall over, but never quite doing so). ]
Hello Johto, again... uhh, today the thing that I have to share is a possible mistake that I seem to have made, although, I guess in this case it's not really a bad mistake? So, I guess, a good mistake that happened due to my negligence. Uhh, see, what happened was that I left my Ditto out, with my other Pokemon, and, I guess something occurred while I was sleeping, because, uh, well...
[ just. lets the view speak for itself as he trails off awkwardly on that one. ]
...anyway, I don't really understand the mechanics of this thing that happened, but the fact of the matter is that there are a lot of eggs here, and I don't think I can take care of them, really, so, um, what I was wondering is if anyone would like to have one? I think I can probably identify them. [ and soon a hand reaches out past the camera, pointing them out. ] There are some from a Rapidash, and I think that one is most likely from the Shelgon that I have, and also those ones are, uhh... oh, I think those are Rufio's, so they would be a Tauros inside? I guess. Oh, and those ones that look sort of weird are most likely baby Mr. Mimes.
[ and a long pause... ]
Those brown ones? I wouldn't recommend them, really, because, I think they belong to a Pokemon that isn't really mine, or technically anybody's, but, they were with my other ones, so, I just sort of grabbed them. They're from a Diglett.
Anyway... uh, yes. So there you have it.

Jan. 27th, 2012 03:21 pm[ the sound of all-too-familiar crocodile tears fills the feed, almost piercingly loud until the volume evens out. soon it's eclipsed by the owner of the Pokegear's voice, sounding pretty unsure (as he usually does), but also... well, exasperated. ]
Really, can you not do that crying thing for a minute, because this is an occasion for celebrating!
I can't believe you actually did it. Nice one loser!
[Vriska's laughing, and claps Tavros hard on the back.]
[ there's an audible "oof!" at that, and then a little awkward laughter of his own on Tavros' end. ]
Hehe, yeah, I guess I did...
You even made her cry! How great is that!? Don't you just love that feeling of them being so utterly defeated and helpless that all they can do is sit there and soooooooob like a little wiggler with no Lusus.
[She's grinning from ear to ear, a little, maybe just a little proud of him.]
Well, uhh... I mean, no, it sucks a little it that she started crying like that, but I think that is just because she's a sore loser, maybe.
[ more awkward laughter... and he is definitely beaming, too. ]
Who cares! All that matters is we are winners and she is a losery loser who lost!
[She holds up her badge that matches his.]
Hehe, yeah.
[ holding them up side-by-side, Tavros looks happier than he has... probably ever. ]
I actually did it.
All because of me of course! You wouldn't have gotten anywhere without me.
You were pretty reasonably inspiring, in this situation, I guess.
[ somehow he feels like it's a bad idea to admit that. ]
Of course I was! I am the most inspiring, it is me!

Dec. 17th, 2011 08:03 pm[ the gear records a warmly lit room at the Goldenrod inn. it's a bit dim, just a rich buttery light coming from a lone lamp by the bed, but the viewer will have no trouble making out the picture. Tavros has just wheeled across the room in his chair and opened the window, making the curtains flutter in the chilly breeze. he doesn't seem to mind, though, and after looking outside for a long time he smiles and siiiii~ghs, then turns and reaches for the pokegear.
instead of pointing it at himself, he points it out the window ("Look!"), up at the sky. so many stars! millions and millions of bright stars on a beautiful black sky. from behind the camera, Tavros giggles quietly. ]
Which star do you think is the second one, uhh, to the right? The one that goes straight on 'till morning? It's sort of hard to tell. There's so many.
[ after a long moment Tavros sets the gear down next to him on the window sill and puts his chin in his hand, staring almost... longingly out at the night sky. ]
I heard that this "Christmas" holiday that humans have for celebrating involves receiving a visit from an individual that can make wishes happen, and I was sort of wondering if that's true. Because I have a wish that I've been wishing for very, very hard and I think now is as good a time as any for the granting of it to take place! Since, uhh, there is a particular occasion for it, that is. Maybe just, uhh... if the Claws-human could just send Pupa Pan to do the wish-giving for him instead, that would be okay with me. That would be really nice.
[ he cups his chin in both hands and smiles to himself. ]
That would be the nicest thing ever.

Dec. 2nd, 2011 12:14 pm[ time for another episode of Bull in the Big City! he's on horseback today (Rapidashback, to be specific), and is headed in the general direction of the department store! but on his way, a query for the pokegear: ]
Citizens of Johto, hi, or, uhh, good morning, I guess it is... I was wondering a thing and I was hoping that maybe there would be another someone, or perhaps multiple someones, who would be possibly capable of helping me with the thing I was wondering about. It worked pretty well the last time I asked, so, uhh, anyway, I guess I should probably ask it now. The thing that I'm wondering is that I recently received an advisement to attempt battling the leader of the Gym establishment here, uhh, in Goldenrod City, which is where I am right now, still, but I don't know if that's a thing that I could do, because I heard that the Gym places are pretty formidable. So I guess I was thinking that maybe I could effectively make myself open to suggestions on how a way would be to tackle such a task in a successful manner.
[ smiles a little! smiling is always good when you want something, right? nobody wants to help an unfriendly person. ]
Yes, so, anyway, thanks in advance for the potential answers regarding that.
[ and for anyone in the area, you may feel free to run into the local campeador apparent at any given time! you might just witness him having a little difficulty managing his shopping bags while riding a horse, and part of that might be because - wait. is that a Diglett inside one of the bags? weird. 8| ]

Tavros is on the ground, and the camera is pointing at his wheelchair, which should be empty since he's not in it, but... ]

[ WHAT THE HELL. ]
Uhh. Is anyone else seeing the thing that I'm seeing, right now... because I'm a little bit confused about the logistics of this thing that I'm looking at, which is, I guess, this dirt monster that is on my four-wheel device, but, uhh... I don't know how it got there. And it won't go away so that I can get up, so I'm sort of having a problem with a lot of things right now.
[ Dig! this little bastard ain't moving, no sirree. behind the camera, Tavros makes a disgruntled sort of noise, and some passersby can be heard making commentary and giggling in the background, which... makes Tavros kind of whine a second time. ]
Diglett, you're being rude, a little bit. You don't even have legs, uhh, for being paralyzed. Please move!
[ Dig! (nope.) ]

Uhh, so, there's a matter which has, I guess, come to my attention, recently, and I was thinking about it a lot, and wondering some things, that I couldn't really figure out an answer to, so, I guess what I was wondering is if anyone that's, uhh, here, could maybe help me with the figuring out, that I mentioned, regarding this topic. ...which is that I was wondering about... uh. Individuals who, previously, as in, before they got here, to Johto, when they were at the place they originated from, that were in a state of being, uhh. Not. Alive, anymore.
[ a pause, frowning thoughtfully. ]
It's probably sort of obvious that they're not in that state of un-alive, like I said, now, but, I was wondering if maybe they knew about it when they got here, or... uhh, well, I don't really know exactly, what I'm asking for, I just. It's kind of bothering me, I guess.
[ he starts to say something else but ultimately decides he's staggered through his sentences enough and fumbles uncomfortably with the 'gear before turning it off. ]

Sep. 10th, 2011 10:49 am[ behold, Goldenrod. your new campeador has arrived! Tavros has been on the fly—or, uh, the bull ride—for weeks, with the express purpose of hastening to Goldenrod. of course, the reason this took almost a month and not, y'know, a week or two, is because he got lost. a lot. lost, and held up by wild Pokemon that he had to direct his amazing team of three underleveled Pokemon to battle, with near-disastrous results, and other various paraplegic shenanigans that I would be heartless to describe here, but which may or may not involve the total destruction of his wheelchair somewhere along the way.
so, as grand as it may seem to ride into a big city on the back of a giant hoofbeast, it really becomes less impressive when you take in the weather-beaten and fatigue-stricken appearance of both steed and rider. ]
We did it, Rufio! Unless I'm reading the map wrong, uhh, again, which is a thing that's completely possible, since it happened so many times before, but assuming I'm not, which I don't think I am, for once...
[ his Tauros gives a snort of impatience. Would you get to the point, already? ]
Right, sorry. Anyway, I think this is Goldenrod. It's gotta be, just, based on its appearance, which resembles the descriptions that were given to me, before.
[ clip clop clip clop... clip... clop... Rufio is beginning to slow down. his legs are trembling. Tavros leans down and pats his neck consolingly. ]
It sure is big, isn't it...
[ ...and then he promptly passes out and falls off of his trusty steed sideways, just in time for said trusty steed to collapse over the other way. bull pileup on aisle four. ]
[ ooc: assume replies to responses on the 'gear come after he wakes up \o\ ]

Aug. 20th, 2011 06:40 pmOh, cool, I think I got it, there we go...
[ the camera spins around, initially pointing off at a random wall of the Cherrygrove Pokemon Center, but soon shows Tavros, looking a bit worse for wear, but seated in a proper wheelchair. it looks quite comfy. you know, as comfy as wheelchairs get, anyway. ]
So, I finally got to, uhh, this new place, with the help of my new friend, which I decided to call Rufio, by the way, since it seemed like a good name for a hoofbeast that, uhh, is pretty brave, as it turns out.
[ he smiles a little, pointing the camera at the aforementioned Tauros, standing outside and looking in through the window. he snorts agitatedly when he realizes he's being watched, just barely audible on the Pokegear. ]
Also, I got a new four wheel device, which is good, because I don't think Rufio liked carrying me around, and it was also kind of dangerous, and I kept falling off, so, it took a long time to get places. There was a lot of, I guess, tribulation, but ultimately, it turned out okay, and I captured a feather creature, in one of those multi-colored capsules that I had in my bag, so that was pretty cool, too. [ turns the camera his way again, looking just a little sheepish. ]
But, to get back to the thing that I wanted to say, before I started, uhh, saying other things, is that I was going to ask, what's a good place to stay for longer than just a little bit? Like, maybe, a new hive that I could live in, or borrow, I guess. I don't really know how that's, uhh, supposed to work. Anyway, I kind of like this one place that I mentioned being at now, but I don't want to, really, impose on the hospitality here...
[ trails off for a moment and then rounds off that half-finished thought with an awkward shrug. ]
That's all, uhh, I guess, for now.
