"... Oh, Hi! You're talking to Rakka, but, uh, if you're hearing this then it means I can't answer the pokegear right now. Don't worry. Just make sure you leave a message and I'll reply to it!"
Beep!

uh sorry, I think I turned on caps lock again by accident but I really do like reading about everything!
especially books about the world.
...so what's a movie?
no subject
WHAT ABOUT THE WORLD IN PARTICULAR?
AND MOVIES ARE LIKE
ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH PLAYS?
no subject
Every part of it, I guess. I just like learning about the places and things in it.
Even how it was made. It's so neat!
[neeeeerrrrd]
oh, uh
Yes?
1/2
MOVIES ARE LIKE PLAYS, BUT YOU CAN WATCH THEM ON A HUGE WALL OR ON A BOX IN YOUR ROOM.
PEOPLE USE DEVICES CALLED
FUCK, WHAT'S THE HUMAN TERM. CAMERAS? THEY'RE CALLED CAMERAS.
THEY USE CAMERAS TO MAKE A VISUAL COPY OF WHAT ACTORS ARE DOING A LONG WAY AWAY SO YOU CAN WATCH IT WHEREVER AND WHENEVER YOU WANT. THERE'S SOUND, TOO.
DO YOU HAVE PICTURES WHERE YOU COME FROM? OR AUDIO RECORDINGS? THEY'RE LIKE MOVING PICTURES WITH AUDIO RECORDINGS.
2/2
OR LIKE THE VIDEOS YOU SEE ON YOUR POKÉGEAR. FUCK, FORGET EVERYTHING I JUST SAID, THEY'RE LITERALLY THE SAME THING AS WHEN YOU SEE PEOPLE TALKING ON YOUR POKÉGEAR.
MOVIES JUST HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE, FANCY COSTUMES, MUSIC, AND SPECIAL EFFECTS, LIKE A PLAY.
no subject
Oh.
Okay, I get it! so if I'm talking to someone on the pokegear, and we're using video then it's just like what seeing a movie would be like.
Movies sound amazing!!
I should see one! Are there any in Goldenrod?
no subject
THEY'RE BROADCAST ON TELEVISION AND IN MOVIE THEATERS. THEY'RE BETTER IN THEATERS, THOUGH. THE SCREENS ARE HUGE.
YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIND THEM WHERE YOU ARE, I THINK, SO TRY ASKING AROUND.
I CAN ALSO RECOMMEND SOME TITLES TO YOU IF YOU WANT.
OH BUT IF YOU LIKE LEARNING ABOUT PLACES, MAYBE YOU SHOULD TRY LOOKING FOR DOCUMENTARIES? THEY'RE LIKE INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS THAT TEACH YOU ALL SORTS OF SHIT. THEY'RE ON TV, TOO.
no subject
That sounds easy! I think there's one back at the inn I'm staying at.
When this is over, I'll go and try to find one of those theaters too.
Do you think you could recommend me something? If I already knew some movies, it would probably be easier for me to choose, but I don't know a single one.
no subject
TAKE SOME TIME AND EXPERIMENT WITH IT, YOU'LL FIND SOMETHING.
AND YES, I HAVE A FEW RECOMMENDATIONS. GET A FUCKING PEN.
[And then he launched into the most comprehensive listing of contemporary romcoms in all of paradox space? Or, okay, let's say top ten or so, which naturally includes Hitch, Good Luck Chuck, My Best Friend's Girl, Serendipity, 50 First Dates, and yeah let's just sort of. Use our imagination for the rest. Yeah.
kill me]DID YOU GET ALL THAT?
no subject
uh okay
[SHE'LL GO... AND DO THAT THEN. It's infinitely easier to write down a list of movies when the other person is putting them into text. Honestly, the hardest part was finding a pen that Bright hadn't hidden from her, and the other pokemon, and herself.
Through determination, the list is soon complete, and Rakka has no idea what any of them are about. It's perfect.]
Yes, I did, there's a lot of them.
Have you really watched all of these movies, Karkat?
no subject
I DON'T KNOW AS MANY DOCUMENTARIES, BUT YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO ASK OTHER PEOPLE WHAT THEY RECOMMEND, I GUESS? IT WON'T BE TOO HARD.
no subject
[She'll just tuck this note away for later. what else can she say here...]
And whenever I get to Goldenrod, we should see a movie.
Like at a theater there, if you know any.
no subject
...
...
Did she just ask him on a date.]
I'M
[???????????? HOW DO]
I MEAN
IF YOU WANT.
[HELP??? HE'S READING THIS WRONG, RIGHT. HOW DOES THIS WORK.]
no subject
I mean, if I didn't, then I wouldn't ask you if you wanted.
And you seem to like movies so much!
[...Oh wait. um]
uh but, I don't know when I'll ever get to Goldenrod.
I'm still training in Violet.
no subject
THAT'S
I MEAN YEAH I DO. YES? YES.
IF YOU WANT TO SEE A MOVIE, I'LL GO WITH YOU.
no subject
I feel like seeing a movie with someone else is probably more exciting then going to one alone.
[You're doomed, Karkat.]
no subject
YEAH IT IS. I MEAN, I ASSUME.
SO UH. JUST LET ME KNOW WHENEVER YOU'RE IN TOWN. OR I COULD MAYBE ASK DAVE IS HE CAN GET HIL GALLADE TO TELEPORT ME?
EITHER WAY, LET ME KNOW WHEN.
[... He's definitely doomed.]
no subject
I will! I don't know how long it will take, but I'm sure I'll be there, sooner or later!
Oh? Dave?
You mean Dave Strider?
no subject
YES THAT DAVE.
LET ME GUESS, YOU'RE ANOTHER ONE OF THE FRIENDS HE'S MADE HERE.
no subject
The first day I was here, he gave me some advice, and I promised I'd stay in touch.
He seems really cool
... noticing typos way too late: my life story
HE'S PRETTY COOL, I GUESS. HE'S A GOOD FRIEND TO HAVE.
/patpat...
I think so too! He was really nice back then, and just recently I was talking to him again.
It must be nice, even if you're in a whole new world, you still have a friend around like that.
[...It must be really nice.]
no subject
THERE'S A CHANCE YOUR FRIENDS WILL TURN UP TOO, YOU KNOW? I MEAN, IT MIGHT TAKE A WHILE, BUT I HEARD THAT ONCE SOMEONE FROM A PARTICULAR WORLD TURNS UP, THIS PLACE USUALLY DRAGS IN ANOTHER.
no subject
[... Would she really want them here? Would that be selfish?]
I hope I can see some of them again. It's been a couple of months.
and, I'm still getting used to texting and using video, instead of talking to people.
I mean, in person.
no subject
AND SO WILL YOUR FRIENDS. JUST BE PATIENT.
