[video .001] -- Route intro post

[thinkimsuperman]

((OOC: oh my god, you guys, what am I even doing? Late intro is so late because of NaNoWriMo and I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING, besides. Enjoy :'D Sorry if I derp this up like the derp I am. Also, feel free to add your own character tags. Tag add new/delete and add/remove to entry is set to any user because I am too trusting))

[the feed shows Douglas Cartland blinking in the middle of a random field in the sunlight, shielding his eyes from the sun. He's got his 'gear in one hand and his Shuckle in the other and he's staring hard into the screen]

How the heck do I... how am I supposed to work this thing? Is it like a phone? One of those new video phone things or...

[pause]

Oh, it's recordin'. Okay. Well uh... not sure if anybody can hear this but I'd really like to know where I am. Some woman gave me lunch and shoved me outside when I woke up this morning, but that's not really important. What I really wanna know is where I woke up.

Hello? Anybody listenin'?

[he frowns]

There's no way this is Maine.

[he resists the urge to say "I have a feeling I'm not in Kansas anymore", because this isn't the time at all]

I... am not sure. They give us a talking box that tells us these things.

Cliffjumper pays more attention to it than I do.

So I'm guessin' a lot, then.
Are any of them dangerous?

[Douglas likes to get his worst case scenario worries done right off the bat, thank you very much]

[Video]

[show_my_cannons]

Yeah. Some of them. But ours tend to be... protective of us. Nothing to worry about.

[another glance at the Shuckle]

Protective, huh? Okay. Honestly, I get the feelin' I'm gonna have to be more concerned over this little guy than myself. He seems kinda lazy.

[There's a pause, as Ironhide regards the Pokemon.]

... All right. Maybe your future creatures will... be more... useful.

[Video]

[thinkimsuperman.livejournal.com]

Well, useful or not, this guy's good company. I'll give him that. I guess that's probably a good thing in this place.

[Video]

[show_my_cannons]

Yeah. A lot of them are...

Allies are never unwelcome. Here, or anywhere else.

[Video]

[thinkimsuperman.livejournal.com]

That's true. That's very true.

[a small smile]

You can consider me an ally if ya ever need help with anything. It's the least I can do, for you showin' an old man the ropes.

[Ironhide quirks an eyebrow. The human thinks he's an old man? When he's talking to a millennia-old soldier? It almost makes him chuckle for a second -- but there's no way for the human to know that.]

[Congrats, Douglas, you've just struck the rare 'humor' note with Ironhide.]

Yeah, sure thing. And you are?

[oh yeah, formalities. It's hard not to feel a little bad about the fact that he didn't bother to introduce himself]

Douglas. Douglas Cartland. You?

[Video]

[show_my_cannons]

Ironhide.

Good luck in this place.

[he smiles a bit]

Thanks. I have a feelin' I'm gonna need it.

[Video]

[show_my_cannons]

Yeah, you probably will.

[he's totally not nervous at that. No way. Not at all]
