commune | ♉6 - video/action for goldenrod

[ once again (as usual?), Tavros is in distress. the angle of the video is kind of odd, as if it's being taken from the floor, and... that's because it is. 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.) ]

... Have you tried manually removing it?

Well, no, and I should probably try to do that, since, uhh, talking to it doesn't seem to be working. It just keeps answering with gratuitous expletives, and also laughter.

Expletives?

Yes, it said some pretty nasty ones when I communed with it to ask why it was doing this stuff, and, uhh, then it called me some names, too.

... Oh. Excuse me, this is the first time I have ever heard of someone who could communicate with their Pokémon in such a way.

Oh! Yes, uhh, sorry, that's right, I have the ability that of communing with beasts, which, well, I guess in this case it means that I can talk words to them in their head, and they can answer me back.

I must admit, that is quite an enviable ability.

Heh, uhh, it is a pretty useful skill for having, mostly, yes.

"Mostly"?

Yes, mostly, because I guess sometimes it can also be a troublesome thing to have also. Such as right now, uhh, with this profane Diglett...

If it bothers you, perhaps you should discipline him.

How?

Be assertive.

Oh. Uhh, well, I guess I could try to do that, even though it's not really a thing that I'm good at, usually.

Try, at least.

Yes, uhh, I guess I'll have to, at least, try to do that, even if the results will most likely be disastrous.

That is not a very positive attitude to have, to begin with.

No, I guess it isn't...

Will you try now, or... would you feel more comfortable if I left you alone, by any chance?

Uhh... well, I guess, since it was your suggestion, you can watch me try to do the thing you mentioned, if you want to. Probably the result will be the same.

Go ahead, then.

Okay...

[ excuse him while he takes a deep breath and stares that Diglett down. and puts on his game face! let's. get. assertive. ]

Excuse me, Diglett, but, I really think you're being incredibly rude, and, uhh, there's absolutely no reason, uhh, for that heinous behavior that you're displaying, and, so I was thinking that you should most likely stop doing it, if you want to, because it would be a nice thing to do, and then, possibly, we could come to an understanding, if that's okay with you.

[Hmm, very polite. He's 0kay with that.]

[ Tavros gets a very eloquent-seeming series of Dig! sounds right back, and for a second he seems to be looking encouraged!

...but then his face falls and he turns bright red. ]

Oh. Uhh, well, it didn't have very much of a favorable thing to say regarding what I asked it.

Hmm... Perhaps you need to firmer.
