(2) Video / Action for Violet City

[veggie_vamp]

Okay, you got it, Pop?

[A 'floon, floon' from an unseen Drifloon replies, as it is holding the device.]

Great! Okay, second deadblog, starting now! This is Draculara, live from Violet City!

[With a Noibat to her left and a Zubat to her right, the vampire holds up hand-made pompoms, made out of leaves and flowers painted black and pink.]

So while I was fanging out here in the city, I was totes worried I would be behind on my Fearleading practice. So I made these! And then I got a brilliant idea! I heard about these Gym things, and how I need a badge and stuff if I want to fly around. It's sooo hard! I wished my ghoulfriends were here to cheer me on... and I realized I could do that for other people!

Once I can fly, you can ask me to come to where you are, and I'll cheer for your matches! The Fearleading squad I'm in back home won Monster Mashinals, so I've got real talent! I can make you and your monsters feel totes pumped and ready to win! We've already got a routine down!

[She clears her throat, and as she moves around, shaking her 'pom-pom's, the bats flap around with similar motions.]

You've come so far, you've done so well,
And your type match is super swell!
You're a trained Trainer, you're a trained Trainer,
And this battle is a real no-brainer!
Go, Pokemon, go!

[She performs a split on the ground, still shaking those poms.]

Oh! An Espurr! Um...

[ Naminé motions for something off-camera to come closer, and soon enough, there are two Meowstic standing in the frame. Staring. ]

This is its evolved form. A friend gave me her male Meowstic, but... Ellie was the first Pokémon I caught.

[veggie_vamp]

[Draculaura gasps, and picks up Ditty.]

Oh My Ghoul, they look so great! Look, ditty Kitty, that's you when you grow up!

[Ditty... just... stares...]

[shatterings]

[ ... and Hope and Ellie just stare back. ]

The mostly white one is female--Ellie--and the one mostly blue is male--Hope.

[veggie_vamp]

Awww, those are lovely names too! You're good at this!

[shatterings]

[ She blushes. ]

I named Ellie, but Lightning named Hope. And... I couldn't imagine naming him anything else.

[veggie_vamp]

It's a perfectly good name, after all.

[shatterings]

Mm-hmm. I like yours, too. Ditty Kitty... it's so cute.

[veggie_vamp]

Heehee, thanks! Making up names for all of my new friends is so much fun! If it was a class, I'd ace it!

[shatterings]

You're very good at it. I... might have to start thinking about more creative names.

[veggie_vamp]

I bet you could come up with some super great ones! Just imagine them being shouted by a loudspeaker on a runway, or in cheered by its fans!

[shatterings]

Oh! I've never though of it like that... but it's wonderful motivation.

[veggie_vamp]

I do that kind of thinking all the time, ever since I joined Monster High's Fearleading squad! It's such a creative place to be!

[shatterings]

Monster High? Is that your home?

[veggie_vamp]

You could say it's my home away from home... it's my school!

[shatterings]

I didn't know school could be a sort of home.

[veggie_vamp]

Sure it can! Monster High makes everyone feel welcome, and helps you embrace what makes you unique! I met all my ghoulfriends there, and my boyfriend!

[shatterings]

I've... never attended school. What is it like?

[ She knows Kairi's memories, sure... but Draculaura's from a different world, after all, and Naminé's really curious. ]

[veggie_vamp]

It's fangtastic! I learn all kinds of new stuff every day, I get to decorate my locker and make it super cute, our teachers give us fun assignments, and there's always some kind of secret or mystery to discover.

Oh, oh, and our school was the first one to be open to ALL monsters! Before then, every monster had to go to their own select school... but here, everyone's welcome! We even take in normies like you!

[shatterings]

[ It really does sound amazing... Naminé's almost a little jealous. ]

Then that must make it even more special. You must have met so many interesting people.

[veggie_vamp]

Oh, all the time! You should try and transfer if you can!

[Cause... that's totally possible... right?]

[shatterings]

Is that... possible?

[veggie_vamp]

Why not? If there's a way to bring people here, there should be some kind of way to pop them in other places.

[shatterings]

[ ... she'd like to, that's for sure, because Draculaura seems really nice. But... but Naminé knows she has things to do, back home... things that can't wait. ]

If it's possible... I would like to visit your home.

[veggie_vamp]

Great! Everyone would just love you!

[shatterings]

I-I'm not sure about that, but... thank you.
