Day 25 - [Video] | [Action] for Goldenrod

[babel_hacker]

[In Goldenrod, there is a familiar pair of Pokemon. Atsuro’s Clefairy and Porygon are doing their usual filming duty for their trainer. Asterisk the Clefairy is also wearing Atsuro’s hat, as she hold his PokeGear and sit on Fortran. But wait, where is Atsuro?

If you follow the PokeGear’s line of sight, there’s something in the sky. Wait, what’s that in the sky?

Is it a Pidgeot?
Is it a plane?
It’s...!]

Wahoo!

[Flying above Goldenrod is a large Golurk, with Atsuro riding on its back. That’s right, folks, there’s a flying ghost mecha above the city.]

This is awesoooooooooooooome…!

[babel_hacker]

Yep! It's the best thing to find out that Unit 01 can learn Fly!

[action]

[impulsives]

...That is pretty nifty and cool.

[Which really reminds him of home.]

[action]

[babel_hacker]

[He nods.] It makes him even more like a mecha, minus the piloting part.

[action]

[impulsives]

...Huh.

[Oh right, he remembered something back from that Spring Cleaning thing.]

You seemed familiar with them, are you a pilot?

[action]

[babel_hacker]

[He blinks at the question.]

A pilot? No, I'm not a pilot. Just a fairly normal guy.

[Ignoring the lockdown thing.]

[action]

[impulsives]

...Ah.

You're a fanboy.

[THAT EXPLAINED A LOT.]

[action]

[babel_hacker]

Yep, and proud of it.

[PROUDEST OTAKU.]

[action]

[impulsives]

...guess that'd explain how you're familiar with the concept of Mobile Suits.

[action]

[babel_hacker]

That's right. I don't know them as Mobile Suits, but I generally know how they go.

[action]

[impulsives]

...I see.

What do you know of Mechas anyways?

[action]

[babel_hacker]

They're large, generally humanoid robots. But it's not out of the ordinary to have alternative forms, either as backup or to switch tactics in battle.

[What else...]

Obviously because of the cost and maintenance, the military and other organisations can afford to keep them. ['Other organisations' being secret ones, terrorists and anything else.]

Most of the mecha series I've seen usually have young pilots as the main characters, because of the target audience's general age range.

[action]

[impulsives]

[He has the basics down pat, so...]

...

What do you know of Gundams?

[action]

[babel_hacker]

Gundams? I dunno the name.

[Since his world is full of Products Renaming Including Franchise.]

[action]

[impulsives]

...

[Good, it's not really well known on other worlds... So.]

What about the concept of super prototype army mechas that are piloted by kids that accidentally fell into it?

[action]

[babel_hacker]

Yeah, I know that concept. They usually get to keep piloting because of their hidden talent or other reasons.

[action]

[impulsives]

...Seriously, it's like the Federation is always psychic or something.

[action]

[babel_hacker]

Is that how you became a pilot? By accident?

[action]

[impulsives]

Nah, it's more of a "Dead parents and sibling motivates you into enlisting" thing.

[...welp. He's totally used to this already so /sob.]

[action]

[babel_hacker]

Oh.

[Now it's awkward.]

Sorry.

[action]

[impulsives]

No worries, I'm used to it already.

[Seriously, he's just jaded from the wars okay.]
