44th Transformation [video/action for Seafoam Islands | VERY BACKDATED to sometime last week]

[exeggutorhead]

[When the feed turns on, the only real illumination is coming from the 'Gear itself and from the brightly flickering tail of a Charizard in the background. They're inside a cave, the walls glittering with ice. Envy is holding the 'Gear and has only a thin veneer of a polite act over his currently very displeased mood. France is standing just behind him, and not looking much better; his expression is a little more openly grudging and frustrated. Their breath is visible even in the low light, and Envy is wearing what appears to be two coats, a scarf, and earmuffs. France is meanwhile dressed in more water resistant clothing.]

Hey, network. We were just wondering if anyone's been through the Seafoam caves recently.

[Envy's grin is very strained, for all he's trying to seem totally calm and relaxed. He's very frustrated. France mutters an addition: ]

No one should come here. It's a God-forsaken place.

[Envy glances back to France, briefly, shifting the 'Gear to keep anyone from seeing the 'halp I don't want to explain to the network that we're lost in a cave' look. This gives anyone watching a clear view of the Charizard and Tyranitar trying to maneuver a huge boulder that's gotten caught in a corner. Then the camera is back on Envy and France.]

There are a lot of boulders blocking the way out. Does anyone know another way around?

[It's a pretty succinct explanation coming from France. They really want out of these caves.]

We'd appreciate any information at all.

[Envy grins again, still too wide to be genuine, and turns off the feed.]

[ooc: Very late post fourth wall joint post! France's dialogue used with permission, and Envy and France will both be replying to threads.]

[Envy had stumbled backwards a few steps when France was picked up, but after he's tossed he's scowling at Louis.]

What the hell'd you do that for?!

[And then he hurries over to France to make sure he didn't hit his head on the rocky floor or something, holding out a hand to help him up and still shooting Louis glares over his shoulder.]

You're not hurt?

[Louis makes a series of gnashing motions with his teeth, rumbling deep in his chest. He doesn't need to explain himself; making the grounded airborne was obviously the most logical course. It is Envy's loss that he can't see it.]

[France groans, squeezing his eyes shut briefly to help him get his bearings.]

A moment.

[France sucks in a deep breath before opening his eyes again, squinting at the ceiling, blinking hard, then looking to Envy and grimacing.]

Well, I've been worse.

[He frowns suddenly, looking over to Louis and considering him as yellow eyes glower back in the gloom.]

Maybe... Maybe he means for us to climb over him?

[Louis's only answer is to show all of his teeth.]

[Envy frowns when he sees that France was hurt, even if not badly. Stupid crazy Charizards. Chimera rumbles at Louis very disapprovingly: even if Louis was trying to show them, he didn't need to be so rough about it.]

Maybe. Depends on if that expression he's making means 'yes' or if it means he's about to try eating us.

[He then adds, reluctantly,] I guess he might be able to see something from up there that we can't.

[Louis very articulately rolls his eyes. Look at how many fucks he gives. Besides, in Louis's esteemed opinion, France could use some toughening up.]

[France only laughs, lurching upwards into a sitting position and rubbing the back of his head gingerly.]

Oh, Louis is many things, but he hasn't got much of a taste for men.

[France grunts as he get to his feet, grimacing over at Louis.]

Give me a moment, and I'll try climbing him.
