(5) Video / Action for Goldenrod Department Store

[veggie_vamp]

 [Draculaura is sitting on a counter-top, and below her are dozens and dozens and DOZENS of shopping bags, spilling out with clothes, accessories, Pokemon toys, TMs, plushies, evolution stones... basically anything you could possibly get at the department stores. A Growlithe is sticking his head into one such bag, while Murkrow sits on her shoulder. Both Pokemon are wearing scarves, booties, ribbons, etc...

Draculaura holds up the gear, all smiles.]

Time for another dead-blog update! I'm blogging live from the Goldenrod Department Store, and it's sooo lived up to the hype! It's got everything and anything! I'm all set for winter, and I'm about to do another good long haul for spring! I bet purple is totes going to come back in style next season. All you newbies should totes come here and shop until you drop!

[A nervous employee comes into the frame.]

Um, miss?

I mean, look at these amazing prices, and for amazing items! [She holds up a Dusk Stone.] See, isn't it gorgeous? I bet it'd male a great necklace!

Miss...? About the bill...?

[She waves with a dismissive hand.] Yeah, yeah, just take it out of my wallet. Anyway, I was thinking the next big thing will be those kimono dresses, but for Pokemon!

Miss... you have no money left.

[Pause. Now she looks at the employee.] Huh?

... You have absolutely no money left. In fact, I... I'm not even sure how this is possible, but you have negative .

... Ummmm. Can I... return this stuff?

[That's when Murkrow decides, hey, shiny thing, I want to touch it! So he proceeds to grab the Dusk Stone - and evolve into Honchkrow, who now stands proudly on the floor. By the way, you're pretty sure Growlithe is eating his scarf.]

... Uh-oh.

[When Draculaura returns your call, it will be hours later, as she is now an employee at the Store. Um, yay? As for Action, catch her awkwardly cleaning the windows with Drifblim!]

[That is... terrifyingly impressive.]

The moment you can leave the building, go to the first alley you find and grab yourself a Meowth. Any Meowth. Don't evolve it until it reaches level 30.

[She replies much later, on her work break, dressed in a department store uniform.]

I guess some extra cuteness would cheer me up.

[video]

[captainash]

...I was mostly thinking of their ability to create money, but if the cuteness helps too...

[video]

[veggie_vamp]

... They can do that?

[That sounds... illegal but also very tempting.]

[video]

[captainash]

Sure they can. That's one of the main reason people decide to train them. At level 100, they give out enough money to make working unnecessary.

They carry MTT brand, right????? [So hopeful.]

[Hours later, dressed in the department store uniform...]

I checked EVERYWHERE, Papy!

[Which is your nickname now btw.]

And I didn't find a single MTT label!

[GASSSSSSSP]

IT'S A CRIME, I SAY! I INTEND TO WRITE A STRONGLY WORDED LETTER ABOUT THIS!

[veggie_vamp]

I know, right? How can they expect to stay in business if they don't follow the hottest trends?

[VIDEO]

[invigorating]

Omigosh, are you alright, Draculaura!?

[She doesn't think anything too terrible will happen but. Running out of money in a store... how horrible. And something Nowi has totally experienced before because she's terrible with money.]

Ohhhh no, I really hope you can find a way to make money!

[VIDEO]

[veggie_vamp]

[She replies in the break room, wearing the department store uniform.]

I'll be okay, Nowi... I just have a lot of stuff to pay back. A... lot of stuff.

[invigorating]

Oh man... Are you working there now? To pay it off? I guess that's not all that bad... probably? I dunno, I've never worked in a department store before!

[veggie_vamp]

Me neither! I've never had, like, an actual job ever.

[pipers_son]

[Ha. Well.]

Ah, are ya alright, Draculaura?

[veggie_vamp]

[Much later, wearing the department store uniform-]

... Um... kinda?

[pipers_son]

[He does his best not to laugh.]

New job, eh?

video;

[veggie_vamp]

And my first one, too.

[garbagechild]

I told you. I told you they didn't like it when you touched lots of things.

_{[He sounds resigned, and sad. 8( HE DID WARN HER.]}

[Video]

[veggie_vamp]

[Replying later while wearing a department store uniform-]

The touching they didn't mind... It was, kind of, the paying thing they had a problem with...

[Video]

[garbagechild]

... Well, still.

I told you.

_{[He pauses to squint at her uniform, wrinkling his nose.]}

Are they holding you prisoner?

[Video]

[veggie_vamp]

I have to work here until my whole bill is paid off. So... yes, and no?

[Video]

[in4apounding]

Oh no, are you all right?

[Aside from the. Lack of funds thing.]

...They're not going to put you in jail, are they?!

[Video]

[veggie_vamp]

[Answering later, wearing a department store uniform...]

Not exactly.

Re: [Video]

[in4apounding]

Oh, that's good! What did-

[And noticing the uniform. One second, processing...]

Ooooh, I see. ...That's... good?

[Better than jail, at least? She's worked a few jobs since arriving here, and they haven't been THAT bad.]

[Video]

[veggie_vamp]

You'd think with all the cute clothes they sell here, they could make a better looking uniform!
