[Video Post 06]

[dangerousidol]

[A video pops up, and once more Rise is dressed to match the Sylveon beside her. The background is Saffron City. Seems it's commercial take two. With no interruptions this time (hopefully).]

Hi everyone~! Risette here with some great news~!

[She spins in a circle and does a cute pose. Himiko mimics her the best she can, which turns out just as cute.]

Honeyed Soul has a brand new expanded menu! There's a ton of new items added to the already amazing selection of yummy treats just in time for summer~ There's even things for your Pokémon to enjoy! So head over to Goldenrod City and check it out!

[She blows a kiss at the screen, Himiko doing the same.]

We'll be seeing you~!

[The video shuts off at this point. Have fun messaging her with your thoughts on this, or anything else. If you're in the area, feel free to approach her.]

No circus, and I'm far from an amateur! I'm a professional idol~!

[cawsforalarm]

A what? Aren't "idols" supposed to be little statues of gods?

[dangerousidol]

Yeah, but where I'm from, idols are people that others look up to. I sing and dance for them, and they love it and encourage me to do more.

[cawsforalarm]

Ooh, so you're a performer! Okay, that makes more sense.

Sure hope no one worships you as a deity... that would be weird, even for me.

[dangerousidol]

..... w-well.... s-some of my.... fanatic fans actually worship me and call me goddess....

[She looks creeped out.]

[cawsforalarm]

But... you're a normal human. Right?

[His face falls for the first time in this entire conversation.]

[uhhhhhhhhh]

[dangerousidol]

Of course! They just... really, really, really loved me. So they put me on a pedestal and starting calling me their goddess... They have shrines of pictures and stuff. It's really creepy to see pictures on the internet of stuff like that.

[Terrifying as well. Threats came from some of those fans. Idol life is a hard life.]

[cawsforalarm]

[He blinks, stunned for a moment, then shrugs.]

Well, I guess people will worship anything nowadays... and you haven't even, like, brought the universe to its knees under your colossal might or something. You know, stuff that actually makes you a deity.

Why don't you just tell 'em to stop?

[dangerousidol]

Because when you tell grown up men to stop something, they just do it more.

[cawsforalarm]

That's true. Which is why you have to assert your dominance! [He says this as if it's an obvious answer.] I mean, in the army, no one would ever get anything done if you just asked your soldiers nicely.

[dangerousidol]

Dominance? You think a cute girl like me would ever be taken seriously if I tried?

[cawsforalarm]

Oh, I'm sure you could! I mean, cute fluffy little kitties can bite you real bad, right?

That would be fun to watch.

[dangerousidol]

... I guess I can be dominant when I want to be. I'll just have to try it out when I get home I guess.

[cawsforalarm]

Yeah! Good idea.

...almost made another pun there. Whoops~

[dangerousidol]

So... are you even really interested in the sweets, or were you just looking for someone to talk to?

[cawsforalarm]

Eh, I guess both. [He shrugs.]

...Also, I liked the number you did with your Sylveon. It was really cute!

[dangerousidol]

Thanks~

[She pans her camera down to show her Sylveon.] Say thank you, Himiko!

[Himiko chirps and wiggles her feelers.]

[cawsforalarm]

Aww, you're welcome~!

[Henry... pretty much melts in front of that Sylveon. So precious.]

Oh, did you know I can talk to Pokémon, too? Have Himiko say something!

[dangerousidol]

[Himiko stares at him for a moment. You're kind of weird.]

[cawsforalarm]

[He just smiles back.]

Hey, if you think I'm lying, it'll be pretty obvious when Himiko says I'm wrong.

[dangerousidol]

[Rise looks at Himiko who looks back at her.]

Would you lie to me?

[Himiko lays her ears flat. Never!]

[cawsforalarm]

See?

[He grins at her expectantly. Little shit just wants to show off.]

[dangerousidol]

[Himiko goes back to staring at Henry. Don't irritate my human anymore. I will end you.]

[cawsforalarm]

[He just holds his hands up.]

Okay, okay! I won't! Don't end me, jeez.

[dangerousidol]

[Good. I don't want to spill more blood.

Rise is just watching them both curiously.]
