FIRST RIDE ✦ VIDEO / ACTION [GOLDENROD CITY]
Alright, I've got a question to those of you who've been here awhile. Why the fuck doesn't the Game Corner boot minors out?
[Mondo is sitting on a bench somewhere in Goldenrod City, looking a bit irritated. Sitting beside him is a Riolu, kicking his feet and staring at the 'Gear like it's the most interesting thing he's ever seen.]
I thought I was getting away with getting in 'cause I look like an adult, but I swear to fucking God I saw a kid in there today! They didn't kick 'em out either! The fuck is wrong with this place? Kids aren't supposed to be allowed to gamble like that!
[Clearly he's only mad because he thought he was breaking the law and sticking it to the man or whatever. Turns out he wasn't. Whoops.]
While we're at it, what all can you get from the Game Corner, Pokémon-wise? I wanna see if there's anything there worth trying to get. Probably not, but it's worth a shot, right?
[Mondo motions for the camera-mon to cut it there, but instead it keeps rolling.]
Fuck, what am I gonna do with all these coins if there ain't anything I want there? Just fucking give 'em away? Seems like a waste--
[And then suddenly a loud cawing sound catches his attention and Mondo is promptly attacked by a bird.]
Fuck!! Get the fuck offa me you son of a--!!
[The bird squawks when Mondo hits it and flies off, carrying Mondo's coin case with it.]
Oh you've gotta be fucking shitting me! Pierce, Ryder, let's go!
[And with that, the feed cuts on Mondo and the Riolu, Pierce, dashing off after the bird.]
[If you're in Goldenrod, chances are you'll find Mondo chasing after that pesky Murkrow. Occasionally he'll have Pierce the Riolu aim a Sky Uppercut at it, but it seems the Murkrow is just fast enough to get out of the way. Occasionally the coin case will drop a few coins here and there that Ryder the Scraggy will pick up and stuff in her... uh, pants-pouch-thing.
This ridiculously stupid show will go on for quite some time if it's not interrupted, until Mondo finally seems to realize that the smartest thing to do would be to catch the Murkrow. He finally throws a Pokéball at it and retrieves the Coin Case that it dropped, shoving it in his bag and glowering at the Pokéball.
Much to his displeasure, the ball locks with a click. He's now the not-so-proud owner of a mischievous Murkrow.]
Fucking hell.

It...it's all right.
[It sort of isn't, but it will be eventually; he hesitates.]
You can come in, if you'd like.
no subject
[Somehow or other, he doubts it. It seems too easy.]
Ah, yeah, thanks.
[He almost wants to crack a joke about how it's his room anyway, but he keeps quiet instead, entering the room and throwing his coat over the back of a chair, kicking off his shoes and flopping on the bed once he's done with that. He folds his arms up behind his head and glances back at Ishimaru.]
I really don't wanna fight with you. You're my... friend. Yeah.
[Again, he was going to say "brother" but things are still really awkward and he doesn't want to say the wrong thing now.]
no subject
[And for a brief while, that's all he really manages; he doesn't move to sit down, instead remaining near the desk even after the door is closed and locked, resting his fingertips lightly on top of the smooth surface of it. His stance has tightened again, the tension in his body incredibly obvious.]
I don't want to fight with you either.
[He twitches a little.]
Your friendship means a lot to me.
[His expression flickers sharply at that, though; he really doesn't want to ask, but he knows he has to. He folds his arms across his body before just kind of brute-forcing the topic out there.]
I heard you correct yourself, when you were standing outside. Do you not want to consider me your brother anymore?
I'll understand either way, so answer me truthfully.
no subject
Do I...? What!?
[He sits bolt upright then, eyes wide and expression openly panicked.]
No, not at all! I wouldn't have started calling you "aniki" if I was just gonna give it up after one fucking fight! No fucking way! You're still my brother!!
[.........]
Err, that is... if you still want to be my brother. Yeah.
no subject
W-Why wouldn't I still want that?!
no subject
[Wow this is... kind of ridiculous, isn't it...]
no subject
...It hasn't changed - it's too important to me to change just because of something like this.
no subject
Shit, no, I didn't mean that you would or that it doesn't mean that much to you or something like that! I just wasn't sure how you'd react and I just kinda... thought the worst, y'know? It means a hell of a lot to me too, aniki! I'll be your brother forever, or as long as you'll let me!!
no subject
[He's shaking a bit. So are his words.]
You keep indicating that people just don't mean as much to me as they do to you and Naegi-kun; you're always saying that I don't care! I don't understand what I did to make you think that, but I...I'm getting tired of you using that against me all the time!
