2nd Pokeball - A Completely Ridiculous Inquiry

[unbroken_chain]

When the feed snaps on, it reveals Kotoha, sitting calmly in a chair. She fiddles with the bow at the back of her neck for a few seconds before launching into a spiel.

"Hi, my name's Kotoha, and I have a question."

There's slight hint of urgency in her voice, and her blue eyes are intense as she leans forward slightly to ask her question.

"Why is everyone so pretty?"

...wait what.

"Is it, like, a requirement? 'You must be this sexy to save the world'? I mean, I know I'm pretty, but I've met people here that rank right up there with Elesa, and she's a supermodel."

She leans back and drums her heels against the floor.

"It's not fair! How am I supposed to get anything done when I'm constantly distracted like this?!"

She bounces to her feet at that and starts pacing, letting out a little growl of frustration.

"Urrrrr! Stupid teenage hormones!"

...You're actually serious, aren't you.

[unbroken_chain]

"Oh hey Fumi."

Of course she's casual with you, you're friends!

"And why wouldn't I be serious?"

[shadowsher]

Is that really a problem?

[unbroken_chain]

"Yes!"

A pause.

"No!"

She fidgets a bit and runs her hands through her hair.

"I don't even know."

What?

[She legit has no idea what else to say. KOTOHA...]

[unbroken_chain]

It was pretty straightforward, I thought!

*sigh*

It's kind of making me wish I was a little more selfish, really, because right now? Kinda sucks to have such a generous and loving heart.

[trollsdragons]

[There's a rather dashing fellow who crops up on the camera feed, looking quite amused and obviously stifling laughter.]

I don't know about this world, but were that the case, the world I hail from would have been doomed many times over!

[Video]

[unbroken_chain]

Oh man, LOOK at this guy. Kotoha is just going to...stare for a few seconds before replying.

"And yet, out of all those other people, you were the one brought here, right? Which is just proving my point! Apparently this world can only be saved by supermodels."

[video]

[electricyousei]

"Not everyone is. I'm fairly average looking."

[video]

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha just sort of stops and stares.

"...if you're average, I want to see what you consider attractive."

[square_cubelaw]

No, you were in his head not that long ago. Don't be saying this sort of stuff, Robo doesn't want to be involved.

Which is totally why he responds.

"What? How is that a serious question?"

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha shrugs helplessly. Sorry, brain buddy.

"I'm fifteen! I can't help it!"

[video]

[demifemme]

Normally Shura would be miffed by being awakened for something like this. However, after a hard night of bouncing, a trip on the stage, and being woken up by the beeping of her COMP which she had forgotten to turn off, that silly question makes her laugh.

"Are you for serious?"

[video]

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha opens her mouth to reply and then stops, staring.

This last for a while before she manages to pull herself together.

"...oh that's just not fair."

[echo_of_a_jedi]

Oh, so this is why they made us all start wearing baggy robes when we were teenagers.

Video

[unbroken_chain]

Whoa, a beautiful older woman.

"Somehow, I don't think that's a fashion choice that will catch on."

This statement is accompanied by a wry smile.

[video]

[andcarryabigknife]

"Do all teenagers feel like this?"

[video]

[unbroken_chain]

Shrug.

"Not all, but most, yeah."

video

[saudadist]

[ She sounds tired, and given the recent events that have been going on, it's no wonder. She almost laughs at Kotoha's inquiry, though. Almost. ]

You really are bizarre.

video

[unbroken_chain]

Oh hey, look who it is.

"Hi Mercer! How've you been?"

[enemyofallwholive]

Well, I don't know if you have to be, but it clearly doesn't hurt.

In my case, anyway, I can't really speak for anyone else.

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha grins.

"I wouldn't expect people to speak for anyone but themselves, anyway! Also, yeah, it definitely doesn't hurt in your case."

[virtualbirdwatching]

I don't think I'm that pretty... this isn't even the way I normally look.

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha frowns and levels one finger at the video feed.

"Be more confident! Your delicate features and lovely eyes make you stand out!"

A pause as the rest of the sentence sinks in.

"...wait, you're a shapeshifter? Like Zoroark?"

[gigglesnortpriestess]

[wat]

Are you...alright?

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha just hangs her head in defeat.

"Oh no, another beautiful woman."

She raises her head slightly and peers out from behind her bangs.

"Listen, just because I asked about the pretty people, it doesn't mean you're obligated to talk to me, you know?"

[video]

[selematpagi]

... What the heck are you talking about?! D-Don't say things like that!

[ Yukko is not pretty! No way! She's really bland and uninteresting!

She totally assumes Kotoha is talking about her... ]

[video]

[unbroken_chain]

"Oh hi. Who are you?"

video

[spaztastic]

Uhh. I don't even think that's even a thing they consider...

video

[unbroken_chain]

"I really hope so! But if it's not, then it's a pretty big coincidence, don't you think?"

video;

[dreamprotector]

...Is that your worst problem with this place?

video

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha actually stops and thinks about that.

"I'd say...third, probably? This is just the one that's the most frustrating right now."

video; it is time

[awww_yeeeeeaaaah]

[Pffft, well that's an interesting way of looking at things.]

Aww, don't worry, I'm sure you'll manage.

[Thankfully, Kaito fell more on the "Aww how cute" scale, so he'd hopefully be less distracting.]

[unbroken_chain]

"Thanks for the words of support, random cute guy!"

A pause as she considers the video feed.

"Is your hair as thick and luxurious as it looks, or do you just use a lot of product?"

don't say product, don't say product
