preparetrouble | Corollary #001 // anonymous video/action for goldenrod // Invest Time and Finances Wisely

[ The woman in this broadcast isn't suspicious at all! What could possibly be less imposing than the sight of a young lady in a full-length trenchcoat and a little fur hat, her eyes innocently wide beneath a pair of equally round glasses? What could possibly incite less suspicion than the adorable Glameow she cradles in one arm, its own gaze fixed on the camera (and glowing slightly)?

In short, this is someone you should implicitly trust. ]

My...isn't winter the dullest of seasons? Between the overcast skies, the network's banality, and the overload of hullabaloo regarding a holiday that remains a matter of weeks away, everyone's minds must be starved for instant gratification....

Given this regrettable situation, the Goldenrod Game Corner is surely the answer to everyone's woes!

[ She brandishes a flier with her free hand. ]

Nothing could possibly wile away the idle hours better than relentless spendthriftiness! No pleasure is more indulgent than the frittering away of resources at the gaming table, no delight greater than overworking a certain waiter until he collapses from exhaustion! Not even procuring a suitable gift for a beloved companion when the local egg vendors' wares have proven unsuitable, a situation so dire it might necessitate actually making direct requests to an untrustworthy channel, can possibly hope to outpace the urge to gamble away your last cent in pursuit of an elusive yet intimately seductive windfall!

Why, don't you feel yourself compelled to go from this description alone? Your feeble mind begs for such scintillating, vacuous stimulation! In the spirit of this fine establishment, I'd wager that once you insert your first coin, you simply won't be able to stop~

[ And with a peal of charming and unsuspicious laughter, the transmission ends.

If you're out and about in Goldenrod today, prepare to be handed a flyer by this unassuming creature, cat still staring at you while looking cute as a button. Alternatively, perhaps you spot her in the Department Store, perusing the wares with a worried, surreptitious expression.

But it's not like she's up to anything, okay? ]

[[OOC: Scanty's Glameow just learned Charm, so between that and the 'dex entry claiming it can put enemies in a "mild hypnotic state" she's decided to try and drum up some business via mind control. Whether or not this has any effect is ~~extremely doubtful~~ up to you...but given that it's not even a Psychic-type, well, Scanty, you tried.

As for the Department Store errand, well. That's a secret. ]]

[It... kind of works... just not in the way you expected.]

What a beautiful Glameow!

[So this is what passes for infomercials in this world. Judging by the look on her face, Jeane isn't impressed. In fact she looks kind of bored.]

You really don't know how to attract customers, do you?

[Misaki looks unimpressed by the attempt. The Glameow doesn't really help either. Sorry Scanty.]

Nice try.

... sorry, I'm semi-banned from the Game Corner!

You're looking for eggs?

Edited (...JUST SAW IT WAS "ANONYMOUS", so smart.) 2013-02-07 05:26 (UTC)

I beg your pardon, dear lady, but exactly what are you hoping to accomplish in promoting a business that you have such a transparent disapproval of?

[Well, Scanty, one of those fliers is going to be taken by a young man flanked by two Liepards. He looks the flier over curiously and laughs, the sound light and cheerful.]

I didn't know we were running so low on business! It's always packed when I'm working!

[The Liepards study the Glameow curiously for a moment, before moving to sit behind Ryuunosuke. He grins and offers Scanty a hand.]

The name's Uryuu. I've been working in the Game Corner for awhile now. I haven't seen you around, are you new?

[Tokiomi hadn't responded to the video...ad, as it were, simply because he tended not to; the woman making the sale was horrendously confusing, and he was halfway certain that anything he might possibly have had to say was going to be missing the point colossally. However, he did still have business to attend to in town once in a while - as little as he actually liked doing so - and there's really no time like the present to get it over with.

And then there is a flier, and even if he really just wants to get the noodle implement he left the residence for and return to the locked bedroom where he belongs, he isn't going to be rude to the person handing it out, at least, and he'll look the thing over once he has it.

...it takes him a bit longer than it should, perhaps, to recognize her.]

You're the woman that was on the device earlier, aren't you? Advertising this place?

[...he assumes it was an advertisement, anyway; it was a bit...backhanded...]
