Pantsu Part 10: A Helping Hand [video]

[underwearfortomorrow]

[Someone is playing with a certain scaly vagabond's warp band when the feed comes on. There's an echoed giggle and the band sort of bobs up and down like it's being made to float. For a second you get a screen full of Pumpkaboo. Looks like Eclair decided to get a little mischievous today like she's ever not.]

[Eiji is off in the distance a bit, sitting on top of a great big Mamoswine. He appears to be strapping a bunch of building supplies and other useful things to him to transport them to the other side of town.]

There you go, Gamel. We've still got a lot of work to do, but things are really coming along!

[He pulls on a strap to make sure it's secure. He's in the process of checking another- unlooping it and relooping it when he continues:]

When we're done here, we'll have a big dinner for all your heard work, okay? I-- Waugh!

[Gamel lifts his head in a very abrupt way. Clearly the mention of food got his attention more than anything else. FOOD??? THERE IS FOOD? WHERE IS THE FOOD?????? He takes off running with Eiji haphazardly trying to cling on for dear life. ]

GaaAAAAMMMEEEELLL!!!

[LOOK OUT UNION THERE IS AN ELEPHANT LOOKING FOR FOOD. Eiji would just leap off and fly to safety but he's stuck holding the straps down so they don't lose all their supplies. HELP? ]

[ Just keep your wits about you, Eiji, because Haruka intends to make up for lost time. Rhyperior, as a species, is not known for its speed. But World Shaking is an abnormally fast Rhyperior.

Either way, Pumpkaboo should enjoy (or at least experience) quite a bit of bracing wind, and there's yet another gigantic animal pounding down the street, eyes lit with purpose. Except this one's actually being steered. Where did they go...? ]

[Eclair is probably shrieking with delight over this. SO FAST!!]

[Having gotten the load secured, Eiji is now trying to reason with Gamel to get him to stop long enough so he can get off and possible get him that danish he's eying in the window.]

[Looks like they are stationary for now!]

[ Next time she'll take you on the Pidgeot, Skitty. Pumpkaboo. Whatever.

Their target is in sight! ...And behaving. Haruka pulls World Shaking up short so they won't crash into Gamel from behind. This guy is Rei's cousin, right? Then - ] Hino, right? You forgot something.

Vul. [ That's all? They're just going to return the Pumpkaboo? Vulpix's nose wrinkles, and she alights from Rhyperior and trots over to place herself in the Mamoswine's view. Excuse her. Eyes down here, please. You know. Where all the beauty is. ] Vulpix.

[Behaving for now.]

[Eiji looks up in time to see World Shaking run up with a familiar Pumpkaboo and- Oh. Eclair floats over to him with a giggle or two and drops the warp band in his hands. Oh Savior.]

A-Ah. I see. Thank you, I hope we didn't cause you any trouble.

[That's when Eclair realizes they're in front of a bakery.] Boo!!

[Ah, the joys of having two pokemon that fancied themselves gourmets and loved eating at others expense. She hovers right over top of Gamel to peer in the window herself.]

[Gamel meanwhile has torn himself away from the window long enough to notice the tiny thing talking to him.] Swine?

[actsmagnificent]

[ Loveliness and grace personified are addressing you, Gamel. Dainty, particular, and solicitous. Excuse her. You interrupted her walk. You will make that up to her, won't you, sir?

Vulpix bats her eyes. ] Vulpix.

[ Haruka tries not to crack up at Pumpkaboo's reaction to the bakery and shrugs, looking at Gamel's baggage. ] Did anything fall?

[ She and World Shaking aren't the ones you have to worry about inconveniencing, she fears... ]
