17th treasure [video]

[Ah, such a lovely day this is. Seriously, it has everything needed for perfection: a wobbly video feed, a fluffy lime green afro taking up most of said feed, a Relicanth swiftly swimming away from said afro, and an original score -crashing waves, Eevee screams, the shouts of a hundred furious souls- that matches the action perfectly.]

Look at that fish go-

[For a man who has to deal with an Eevee screaming in his ear and digging his claws in his shoulder, Ash sounds much too gleeful. The image starts to turn around, shaking even more as it moves.]

-and look at those turtles follow!

[Ash also sounds much too cheerful for a man being pursued by dozens of angry Tirtougas. He might even sound like he's laughing.

...He is laughing. Oh hell.]

Looks like they're gaining on us. Afrodite, show them what we can do!

[Not that anyone else will get to see what exactly that is, because Evo chooses that moment to try and get away from this madness, hitting the Gear in the process.]

Oh dear. Are you okay?

[Disregard the fact that she's giggling a bit, too. It looked really dangerous, sure, but hey, he sounded like he was having fun, so as long as he's alive enough to answer at the end of it, then really, what's the harm?

Maybe she's got a few strange priorities, too.]

Never been better, thanks for asking!

[Well, actually he has, but that's irrelevant right now.]

I think I might have accidentally upset a few turtles. You'd think they'd be happier to be alive.

[Now she IS giggling. A lot.]

I don't think your Eevee would agree with you from the sound of it. But what did you do to make them so mad at you?

That's because he doesn't know how to enjoy himself. Yet. And I might or might not have accidentally cut through their group while chasing that Relicanth.

Is that the fish thing? Did you catch it?

They must be awfully grumpy.

Not yet, but the day is still young! ...And they are, yeah. I don't think they appreciated that little seance.

You'd think they'd be happy to get a second chance. I know I would.

If you do catch the fish thing, though, you should be sure to let us know! The last couple days have been so exciting.

Oh, I definitely will. I bet people will brag about their captures for a long while after this.

They should. People spend so little time here and they all seem to go home so suddenly. They should definitely make the most of it.

[But she keeps on smiling and only shrugs a bit. Most people wouldn't listen to her, but she thinks he might agree.] My name's Trance. What's yours?

It's a world where anyone can train dogs that breathe fire. It would be a shame to waste this opportunity.

[Even he'd leave without looking back in an instant.]

I'm Captain Ash. It's nice to meet you.

And maybe really grumpy turtles.

[She doesn't quite understand that, but she knows her view of the world isn't exactly like everyone else's. She's just happy to be wherever she is at the moment.]

It's nice to meet you, too! Good luck with your fish.

Especially the really grumpy turtles. They're probably trying to get them dead again even as we speak; we might as well enjoy them while they last.

[Or enjoy making them angry, that also works.]

Thanks. I'll do my best to give it a good fight, if nothing else.
