whateveryoueatliveitspart[The video comes on to show a GIANT SPEAROW FACE filling the screen before its owner hops back to a more reasonable distance, revealing that it is in fact slightly larger than the average Spearow, though certainly not a giant. The camera is swaying and shaking quite a bit, like the person holding it has no clue that it's on or that they're supposed to be keeping it still, but it's clear that they're sitting in a tree, a few of the houses in New Bark Town visible through a gap in the leaves. The Spearow looks past the camera at whoever's holding it and gives a quiet "Spee".]
Okay, I'm talking now. What's this supposed to do? There's no one close enough to hear what I'm saying.
[The voice is slightly muffled, but seems to belong to a young male, possibly in his early teens. The Spearow tilts its head to the side slightly but remains silent.]
Talking with humans who aren't nearby? Like those things that group of poachers had with them. Why would I want to talk to humans?
[The Spearow gives a louder "Row!"]
Fine.
[The camera shakes violently as it's turned around, eventually coming to rest more or less on the face of the PokéGear's owner, which, aside from a head of red hair and a pair of golden eyes, is hidden by a mask of white cloth. The boy glares at the camera.]
Whoever brought me here, take me back to where you got me and give me my knife back!
[The camera swings back to show the branches of the tree. The Spearow apparently isn't happy with how short the boy's post is and gives an angry "Spear! Spear!", but the boy doesn't say anything more. After a while longer of recording leaves, the camera moves and the Spearow's face looms into view. There's an irritated "Row!" and the feed ends.]

Date: 2012-05-06 06:05 pm (UTC)Um... excuse me, but... some of us can't help being human...
[Video]
Date: 2012-05-06 06:39 pm (UTC)No, but you can help killing everyone and bringing me here. Now take me back to the forest!
[Poor Fluttershy. It had to be her who responded first.]
[Video]
Date: 2012-05-06 06:45 pm (UTC)I... I didn't kill anypony! You don't understand... Some of us were turned into humans...
[Video]
Date: 2012-05-06 08:42 pm (UTC)Turned into humans? You expect me to believe that?
[Video]
Date: 2012-05-06 08:48 pm (UTC)[Video]
Date: 2012-05-06 08:53 pm (UTC)So someone brought you here too? Who was it? Where are they?
[Video]
Date: 2012-05-06 08:58 pm (UTC)[Video]
Date: 2012-05-06 09:04 pm (UTC)What's a "year"?
[Video]
Date: 2012-05-06 09:10 pm (UTC)A year? ... It's... a unit of measuring time. Like... there are twelve months in a year. There are four seasons in a year. There are three-hundred-and-sixty-five days in a year.
[twilight is rubbing off on her!]
[Video]
Date: 2012-05-06 09:21 pm (UTC)Oh, a seasonal cycle. [Does it really take that many days to go through all the seasons? And just like that he continues onward.] So someone's taking us here, making everyone who's not a human into a human and then sending us back after a while? That doesn't make any sense. [Did I mention he's still suspicious?]
[Video]
Date: 2012-05-06 09:23 pm (UTC)It doesn't at all... but that's just how it is. But, on the plus side, we get to be friends with all of these cute Pokemon! You've got a very nice birdie with you.
[Video] I assume this is still Fluttershy? ^_^;
Date: 2012-05-06 09:38 pm (UTC)Row.
He really wants me to start walking through tall grass for some reason.
[Video] pffft sorry about that!
Date: 2012-05-06 09:41 pm (UTC)All the animals in this world are called Pokemon. You can collect them, breed them, and have as many as you'd like as your friends. You can find them in tall grass... Maybe he wants you to make more friends!
[Video] No problem!
Date: 2012-05-06 09:56 pm (UTC)No, it wants to beat them up. Doesn't want to eat them after even. What kind of bird is this?
[Video]
Date: 2012-05-06 10:15 pm (UTC)Well... some Pokemon like battling each other. Kind of like... play-fighting, until the exhausted loser gives up. Sometimes when they battle enough times, they can evolve and turn into different, bigger, stronger Pokemon. There are even special gyms in different towns that reward you badges if you win against their Pokemon.
[Video]
Date: 2012-05-06 10:38 pm (UTC)That's really weird for animals to do. Especially outside of their own kind. They can't all be sick, can they?
[The last part makes him narrow his eyes.]
So these "gyms" want the animals to hurt each other?
[Video]
Date: 2012-05-06 10:46 pm (UTC)W-w-well, the Pokemon seem to like it... And they always recover. There are Pokemon Centers to heal your Pokemon, and you can buy Potions and stuff to heal them as you travel... And when you have certain badges, your Pokemon can fly long distances, or help you travel across water...
[Video]
Date: 2012-05-06 11:35 pm (UTC)So "Potions" are things that heal Pokémon? How do I "buy" them?
[Video]
Date: 2012-05-06 11:39 pm (UTC)[Video]
Date: 2012-05-06 11:42 pm (UTC)[Sorry Fluttershy. He's lived in a cave his entire life.]
[Video]
Date: 2012-05-06 11:46 pm (UTC)Money is what you exchange for goods and services... sometimes it's paper, sometimes it's coins. The more of it you have, the more things you can get from others. And jobs are when people give you money to do things for them... like... delivering things, or cleaning up places. I used to have a job healing Pokemon at the Centers.
[Video]
Date: 2012-05-07 12:08 am (UTC)What do "coins" look like? [He can make guesses about what the rest of the words mean, but "coins" could be anything.]
[Video]
Date: 2012-05-07 12:14 am (UTC)[The Pokegear moves with her - he may or may notice she's inside a pink and white building, a Center. She finds her bag, where her Togepi is taking an adorable nap next to it. She digs into her bag, and pulls out a couple of coins, holding them out to be seen. Ta-da!]
[Video]
Date: 2012-05-07 12:25 am (UTC)Why would anyone want those? If there's something you can't find or make yourself, why don't you just give someone something they can't find or make and skip using the "money" stuff? Wouldn't that be easier?
[Video]
Date: 2012-05-07 12:32 am (UTC)... I-I just do what I'm told. That's how it is here, and I don't think it's going to change.
[Video]
Date: 2012-05-07 12:44 am (UTC)Humans do stupid stuff.
So I can get things from people if I give them money right? So who would give me a knife if I gave them money? [In other words, where can he buy survival gear?]
[Video]
Date: 2012-05-07 12:50 am (UTC)I don't know if they have anything like that in the town you're in, but the next one over should have plenty of stores... I mean, people to buy things from.
[Video]
Date: 2012-05-07 12:54 am (UTC)There's another town? How do I get to it?
[Video]
Date: 2012-05-07 01:02 am (UTC)[Video]
Date: 2012-05-07 01:38 am (UTC)A few days? Must be pretty far away. Okay, I'll head there then.
[He pauses for a moment, not sure if he should say what he's thinking. She is after all a human, despite her story, but...]
You don't seem like other humans.
[Video]
Date: 2012-05-07 01:43 am (UTC)Like I said... I'm not usually a human. Being here is my only experience with humans... we don't have them at home.
[Video]
Date: 2012-05-07 01:55 am (UTC)[Video]
Date: 2012-05-07 02:01 am (UTC)[Video]
Date: 2012-05-07 02:13 am (UTC)[Video]
Date: 2012-05-07 02:16 am (UTC)[Video]
Date: 2012-05-07 02:24 am (UTC)Some of the ones they hurt survived. They either killed most of the others or hurt them so badly that I had to kill them so they wouldn't have to suffer.
[Video]
Date: 2012-05-07 02:34 am (UTC)That's terrible... The poor dears...
[Video]
Date: 2012-05-07 03:18 am (UTC)[Video]
Date: 2012-05-07 12:24 pm (UTC)[Video]
Date: 2012-05-07 02:45 pm (UTC)[Video]
Date: 2012-05-07 02:48 pm (UTC)<small.O-Oh... your mask.</small>
[Video]
Date: 2012-05-07 02:54 pm (UTC)Yeah, I forgot to take it off after I woke up here.
[Still no idea what he should do, but it looks like the problem started to solve itself?]
[Video]
Date: 2012-05-07 03:00 pm (UTC)... My name is... Fluttershy.
[Video]
Date: 2012-05-07 03:04 pm (UTC)Apollo.
[Video]
Date: 2012-05-07 03:07 pm (UTC)[and thus... a really, really awkward friendship was made.]
[Video]
Date: 2012-05-07 03:39 pm (UTC)Mmn.
[He nods slightly. He has no idea if there's something he should be saying here. Plants and animals are much simpler to make friends with than ponies-turned-human.]
