Act 4 / Video / Action for Rocket Headquarters / Goldenrod

[A man appears on screen with a seviper poking his head in and an ekans around his shoulders. He is wearing a plain black long sleeved shirt, looking through some warm clothes in a store.]

I was gone for a while, but I am glad to be back. We lost the things we had saved up until now, says Gaskell.

I miss Ruskin, says John.

[OOC: Snake can also be found in Rocket headquarters later in the day, checking out the TVs and video games and trying to figure out how they work.]

[Denzel just stares at nothing in particular as he picks his brain. Strange everyone else he's spoken too has been told you go home and others have gone home and came back.

Meanwhile, Growlithe is greeting Snake back.]

[Snake looks unsure of what to do about Growlithe at first, but then gently pets him. Silence is something Snake is comfortable with.]

[Growlithe likes this, yes she does and gives Snake a few licks.]

I can't help you with the video games but I could tell you about the television?

And perhaps, you'd like to know what's happened since I haven't seen you?

Oh! Someone here that I know, knows you. His name is Joker.

[Snake looks a little shaken for a moment. Their conversation earlier was a lot to take in.] We talked to him earlier. I'm glad he's here, says John.

How does the TV work, asks Gaskell?

[Crocker stares with the mixed signals and not sure how to read that. Snake himself looked a little shaken but glad that Joker is here. The man shakes his head he's not sure on how to reply to that.]

Good guy that Joker. Good guy.

[Which is truthful Crocker didn't mind Joker outside of maybe smiling a bit too much. Wait -]

Gaskell?!

I see you have a new Pokemon. I suppose that is to be expected.

[For a moment Crocker fixes his glasses before going into a teacher mode, so if Snake’s mind should wander because of the lecture his students wouldn’t argue that.]

You see the antennas on top of the TV are used as a receiver to pick up invisible signals and once picked up inside the TV, the CRT displays the image by scanning a beam of electrons across the screen.
Mmmm.. This is usually where I go off on a rant about fairies making anything – POSSIBLE. Which they can!.. I’m just not as familiar with Clefairies over the fairies from home.

[While all that is interesting, he really had so little clue of what Denzel was talking about that his explanation did nothing for him.] How do you use it, asks Ruskin.

[At one point Denzel got the idea that Snake was not following he can tell that look by now. All that explaining for nothing.]

You just take this remote here like so and click and point.

[The box 'magically' turns on,]

[He had seen enough of that here to not be too shocked about it. He just hadn't used it before. It could be magic for all he knew though,] Those buttons control it then, says Gaskell.

[Denzel nods] Exactly. Not that there's much to watch outside of the news.

...Quite we're usually a part of - but that's besides the point.

[He just doesn't watch cartoons is all. Denzel offers Snake the remote.]

You want to try it?

[Snake takes the remote and tries it, and is vaguely surprised when it works. He tries changing the channels, and comes across some cartoon with lots of movement and colours. He and all of his snakes end up staring at the screen mesmerized. Turns out there's really something to being able to hypnotize snakes with movement.]

Bah! Cartoons. What a feeble -minded way to waste the afternoon.

[He'd rather be doing data basing work over this and that is when Crocker looks over at Snake and his Pokemon and notices that they're in a trace. Denzel tests by waving his hand slowly in front of Snake's face before taking the remote and switching the TV off.]

You may want to be careful next time.
