rocketralph | Level 18 [Video / Action for Goldenrod.] AROMATHERAPY FRIDAY

[ACCIDENTAL VIDEO]

_{[Ralph is furiously tapping away at his 'gear and has accidentally turned the camera on. Enjoy a worm's eye view of the guy's chin and thumbs and little else. He's outside, seated on a bench somewhere in Goldenrod's shopping district and ranting to someone.]}

And you know what really crosses my wires? They had the nerve to keep on pretending! I don't know about you, Wrath, but I'm sick and tired of this whole Johto-wide charade of everyone pretending like they aren't from a video game! I can't be the only one that remembers! I can't be the only one who didn't get his code scrambled!

I think they're all kiddin' themselves! So what if there's no quarter alert? So what if we can't see the screen and nobody knows where the tram is! That doesn't mean we should all pretend to be real!

[ACTION FOR SOME BAR IN GOLDENROD]

_{[After a long, exhausting day of arguing, it's easy to find the big guy with some empty glasses at his elbow tucked away in whatever dimly lit corner he could find. He has a Lot to think about.]}

how do you not get lonely though
i mean if youre stuck inside just the one game all the time
dont arcade games not have that many characters in them usually

OH ITS NOT LONELY AT ALL!!
ONCE OUR SHIFT IS OVER WE CAN TAKE THE TUNNEL AND ONCE YOU HIT GAME CENTRAL STATION YOU CAN GO TO ANY GAME YOU LIKE
I USUALLY HANG OUT IN TAPPER'S

oh
shit that sounds hilarious
i totally wouldve ditched my game if i could get out of it
which i mean i guess i did since here i am in the pokemon world but you know what i mean

IS THAT WHAT THIS IS? ONE OF THOSE HOME UNITS? IT WOULD EXPLAIN A FEW THINGS BUT NOT THE MISSING SCREEN.

yeah this wouldve been on theeeee
game boy color i think
im not sure i didnt have one of those but its an old handheld console
so maybe the screen is too small for you to see

I DOUBT THAT. WHEN IM AT HOME IM ONLY A FEW PIXELS HIGH. IT WOULD BE LIKE NOT NOTICING THE SUN.

huh
i dont know then
i guess its just one more thing to chalk up to universes working differently
i couldnt see a screen even after i entered the game back where im from

_{[That is...a little alarming. Ralph's been here a while now and still hasn't accepted the 'other worlds' thing. Stubborn.]}

MAYBE IT WAS LIKE ONE OF THOSE NEWFANGLED FIRST PERSON SHOOTERS. ONE GAME I WOUND UP IN BY ACCIDENT HAD THAT INSTEAD. IT WAS LIKE A LITTLE ROBOT KINDA GUY AND THE SCREEN WAS SMALL.

yeah maybe
so what year are you from that first person shooters are new for you

I DONT GET OUT MUCH. TAPPER AND PACMAN ARE THE ONLY GAMES LEFT FROM WHEN WE WERE FIRST PLUGGED IN.

EVER HEAR OF A GAME CALLED FIX-IT FELIX JR.?

not as such no
but pacman is basically ancient from my frame of reference

THEN I GUESS THAT MAKES ME ANCIENT.

IVE BEEN WATCHING VIDEO GAMES COME AND GO FOR THIRTY YEARS. YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE HOW VIOLENT THEYVE GOTTEN. WHAT'S WRONG WITH KIDS TODAY???

ahahahaha
bro believe me i wish i knew
even here the premise is all combat all the time even if they dress it up with cutesy bgm and endearing animal companionship

AT LEAST THEY SEEM LIKE THEYRE HAVING FUN. LIKE ITS SOME KIND OF GAME FOR THEM.
DID YOU KNOW THIS PLACE HAS VIDEO GAMES IN IT? ON THIS GIZMO WE'RE USING RIGHT NOW? I ONCE STAYED UP THREE NIGHTS IN A ROW THINKING ABOUT THAT

_{[As soon as he hits send, Ralph freezes. Wait. Why did he say that? Nobody is supposed to know that!]}

FORGET I SAID THAT

ok its forgotten
is that really so strange though
its just some meta
isnt that more or less commonplace throughout the ages
plays within plays and all that shakespearean bullshit

I DONT LIKE IT EVERY TIME I THINK ABOUT IT I GET A MIGRAINE

LIKE RIGHT NOW

SEGA DREAMCAST

uh
konami code

[?????]

SORRY ABOUT THAT IM KIND OF STRESSED OUT I USUALLY DONT SWEAR SO MUCH

oh that was a swear word
gotcha
it must be tough living in something rated e for everyone huh

NOT REALLY
WHY?

id lose like half my vocabulary if i couldnt say shit like

_{[Ralph is just going to stare down at his gear in horrified silence for a little while.]}

JEEZ

[What is wrong with kids today, indeed, Ralph.]

yeah so dont worry about it
the all caps guy im used to talking to drops filth like that like its punctuation so im pretty sure you cant offend me with like
nintendo 64 or anything
no apologies necessary

IF YOU SAY SO PAL
ALSO TYPING LIKE THIS JUST MAKES THINGS EASY TO SEE. I WISH THEY MADE BIGGER POKEGEARS. IVE CRUSHED THREE SO FAR.

you cant like
plug a bigger keyboard into it?
