☘ 003; [video]

[Well hello there, residents of Johto. On your Pokegear and on Route 30 today, you'll find a certain blue-haired Servant with a broken fishing rod and a very displeased look on his face.]

I can take a lot of things in stride, you know. Timelines all over the place? Sure. Some kind of surreal alternate universe? Fine with me, I've been to stranger places than this. Weird monsters? I've seen worse.

But how the hell does a fishing rod just spontaneously snap in half?

[Life just isn't fair when you have the lowest Luck stat of pretty much anyone in your canon. Isn't it sad--wait, wrong game What he's not saying is how he didn't even catch anything; every time he tried, a Magikarp snapped his line. Annoyed? A tiny bit. He's starting to catch on that the universe might just hate him.]

...I'd ask 'who'd I piss off to deserve this', but I have a feeling it'd be a long list.

[Including quite a few women, a goddess, several armies...the list went on and on, and that wasn't even counting everyone he crossed as a Servant.]

Ah, well. All things considered, guess I can't complain. But if the next fishing rod is this brittle, someone's going to catch hell for it.

Guess it's back to Cherrygrove, at any rate; Olldóiteán, Aigéan, let's go.

[A Houndour and Poliwag could be seen for a moment in the background, Lancer muttering to himself in an annoyed tone of voice before cutting off the video.]

...That is weird. My fishing rod is perfectly fine.

...

[Figures.]

Maybe I shouldn't be surprised.

These strange looking fish kept breaking my line. Knowing my luck, that's probably why the whole thing broke.

Have you possibly considered investing in a sturdier rod? I higly doubt that a rod of some quality would snap in half that easily.

It was the only kind they had in Cherrygrove. You've probably got a point, though.

You should take this as a valuable lesson. One should learn to accept nothing less than first rate in all things, fishing rods included.

Even low-rate things can improve given time and effort. Why take the easy way out?

It's true that there are cases when the true potential of something can be drawn out with time and effort.

However I'm afraid I can't see much potential in a broken fishing pole.

[video] very late and typoing, fffff

You never know. There may come a time when it would be useful for something, if not for its original purpose.

[video] There's no such thing as a late reply

[ ... ]

You do know that that is a broken fishing rod you are talking about?

[identity profile] bottletothehead.livejournal.com 2011-02-02 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
And what sort of an alternative use would something like that possess?

If I got into a fight, better a broken fishing rod than nothing at all.

You might not want one of those fish, anyway.

[Unless he wanted a derpfish.]

[identity profile] solas-ion.livejournal.com 2011-01-29 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I was going to catch one, but the weird look on their faces made me think better of it.

[identity profile] boldandresolute.livejournal.com 2011-01-29 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
They evolve into a pretty good Pokemon, but... they're a bit off, if you follow me.

[In a HURR DURR sort of way.]

[identity profile] solas-ion.livejournal.com 2011-01-29 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I kind of got that impression.

[Funny, that clueless look almost reminded him of Shirou.]

That is pretty unlucky. Maybe there are seakings in the water after all!

[Sadly he doesn't mean the pokemon Seaking, just a sea monster, but he's too stupid to know that.]

[identity profile] solas-ion.livejournal.com 2011-02-02 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
...Maybe there are what?

[identity profile] 1-2-jango-zzzz.livejournal.com 2011-02-04 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Big giant sea monsters. They eat ships!
