016 Things Acquired [video; ACTION for Shark House]

[ossifragant]

[It's been a while since he was last on camera.

Greed looks cold and annoyed, and he's wrapped himself in a blanket. It's not that cold in his house, he's just being a little melodramatic.

Maybe.]

You know, the last time the weather went haywire, the world nearly ended a few months later. It's not like I'm saying another Legendary Pokemon is going to show up without warning--

[He frowns.]

Nah, who am I fooling. That's exactly what I'm saying.

...you haven't looked? Greed!

[video]

[ossifragant]

It's been cold!

[Now he's worried about the sharks, thanks...]

I'm sure they're fine.

[video]

[no_ufo_ending]

Greed!

_{[An anxious sort of squawk has worked itself into his voice.]}

You still haven't looked!?

[video]

[ossifragant]

[He's honestly not worried at all. There's salt water in the pool, doesn't that prevent it from freezing?

Still, he sighs.]

Alright; I'm looking, I'm looking.

[And Henry will get a whole lot of shaky-cam before Greed peers into the pool.]

Sharks are fine.

[video]

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[he squints into the gear before his shoulders finally relax.]}

Oh, good...you should probably bring them inside though. They can probably fit in the bathtub.

[video]

[ossifragant]

....but then no one could use the bathtub.

[Says the man who put sharks in his pool.]

[video]

[no_ufo_ending]

You can use the shower.

[video]

[ossifragant]

[HENRY]

They're sharks; they need the saltwater.

Besides, it's all heated and stuff.

[video]

[no_ufo_ending]

They're not real sharks, Greed, they're Pokemon! They're just like people, they need to be warm.

[video]

[ossifragant]

[He sighs.]

I know that. The pool is heated so you can swim in it during the winter; they're going to be fine, they were out there just fine before.

_{[There's a long silence before Henry suddenly snaps and holds the gear high above his head. He looks very very small. And cold.]}

I hate it here. I want to come home. I miss my sleeping bag.

_{[He has his sleeping bag with him. But it's not on the floor in a warm house. So it's not the same.]}

You have to get me out of this wilderness.

[video]

[ossifragant]

[...he's not even sure where Henry is right now.]

Calm down. Don't you have your Pokemon with you?

[video]

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[He is in snow. Snow halfway to his knees. There are lots of gloomy trees around him but the gloomiest thing of all in the woods is Henry.]}

I have a grass type and two water types that don't have real legs. None of us should be out here.

[video]

[ossifragant]

What are you doing in the snow? You should be inside.

[Greed's... kind of worried right now.]

[video]

[no_ufo_ending]

We're camping. Heather dragged me out here with this guy with pointy hair and Lust, they said it would be fun and I was blind.

[video]

[ossifragant]

[He knows that much already.]

...why aren't you in the tent?

[video]

[no_ufo_ending]

Lust is sad.

[video]

[ossifragant]

[Oh...]

I...

[What does he say?]

She needs you right now.

[video]

[no_ufo_ending]

She doesn't need me. She needs another girl to talk to.

[video]

[ossifragant]

C'mon, that's not true. She wanted you along.

[video]

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Long, reluctant, grunting sound.]}

[video]

[ossifragant]

C'mon, it's not like you need to talk about... girl stuff or anything.

[video]

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[The same noise as before. But louder.]}

[video]

[ossifragant]

[Just gives a stern look.]

[video]

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[This time it is a hoarse whisper.]}

Nooo.
