( The first image on the screen when it lights up with activity is the ever-gazing, wide eyes of a relatively expressionless Espurr. It's definitely unsettling. As the frame pans out, one can see Levi in the background—seated on a couch—and it becomes obvious that the aforementioned Espurr is the one who's not only turned on Levi's PokéGear, but is moving it as well.
A beeping from the device is what gets Levi's attention; Espurr is silent, something he's thankful for, although that only gives the Pokémon more unwarranted freedom. An impatient 'tch' is heard as Levi gets up from his spot and closes in on the frame to lift the device and take it into his own hands. His brow is furrowed, and he's about to shut off the feed before he realizes 'Well, this is as good an opportunity as any to take advantage of an audience.' ) Oi.
This one's fucked up. ( He gestures to the Espurr—still endlessly gazing, although its wide eyes have now focused on Levi, who'd stolen its toy. Who even does that? How do you know Espurr didn't have important shit to say?
Levi's expression, when he turns back to the camera, is a cross between a grimace and a sneer. ) It doesn't make any noise. It doesn't fucking blink. It just looks like this, all the time. Is this shit normal?
( After a second, Levi makes a sound like a sigh. ) But then it gets up to shit like this when I'm not looking. My other one doesn't do that. Is it bored? Am I not feeding it enough? Fuck.
( Narrowing his eyes a bit, Levi glances at the Espurr once more, then back at the camera as he holds his finger on the 'END' button. )
It's creepy as hell. ( Another 'tch' sound, then the feed shuts off. )

video; omg i forgot we have Levi, but I've only adored snk for 2 weeks now...
[Korra, you're not very helpful.]
video; aww YEAAHH omg i'm still relatively new so at least there's that!! snk<3
You think it did this deliberately? It wasn't just fucking around?
[ oh god what if it does more shit deliberately
what if it watches levi while he sleeps...... ]
video; let me belatedly welcome you and ahh, snk is amazing!! i love just about everyone from it
It's possible. Sometimes they open a video on purpose, sometimes it's.... proooobably accidental.
[Wow, did you want a clear answer to that? Who even knows about how pokemon think.
Levi, it probably stares at you while you sleep!!]
video; ahh thank you!! and omg so do i ;-; sighs wistfullyyy r u readin it or watching?? :D
That was hardly helpful.
Or reassuring.
video; watched it first, then I read it and getting no regrets this week-ish! XD
Yeah, I know.
[No, but seriously, if you're waiting for things to make sense here? Stop. Stop it right now.]
It's a psychic type, some of them kind of stare a lot in general. It's also an intelligent -- [paaaaaaause. ... that's actually questionable, isn't it, if that just keeps staring...] creature, and "accidental" post to the network by any pokemon aren't exactly a rare thing.
[Better keep that gear to yourself, Mister Displeased, if you don't want them posting stuff for you.]
video;
THE ANIME ADAPTATION OF NO REGRETS IS GONNA BE RELEASED ON DEC 9th ;o; SO CLOSE... ]
I see. It seems intelligent--they both do, I suppose; more than house pets, anyway.
What does that mean, if it's psychic "type"? Can it read minds or some shit?
video;
femaleprotags, ummm) but then there's petra. don't cry too much during 4th wall, since i'll bring her there. ...well I adore levi too, because my kingdom for short guys with rude mouths... I still don't have the books, but i'm sure they'll be interesting. at least i'm looking forward to reading them. XDYES, I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT, ESP BECAUSE I LOVE THE ANIMATION ART STYLE FOR SNK! My heart is not ready, but who cares about hearts during snk... Wow, hello tl;dr, i'm kind of sorry except not really. On a random note, Korra just received a pokemon named Titan from Winry's roster. I laughed so hard! :'D OMFG, SELF, SHUT UP AND WRITE THE IC TAG NOW.]
Most of them are, though I do have a very intelling pet dog back home too. [Buuuuut that's not the point here.] So, what else do you have than that?
I've never actually had a psychic myself, but yup, at least that's what I've heard. And that they also use telepathy to speak to you and others.
video;
HAH THAT IS CUTE I APPRECIATE TITAN POKEMON and ahhh no omg i love talking about snk :'| thats even cuter bc levi got this espurr from the elrics aw yeee ]
I have this one. [ He pans the camera slightly to show off Purrloin, who seems pleased that she gets to be on display for .05 seconds, then turns his attention back to the camera. ] Only two... of these creatures--"Pokemon"--right now.
[ At those last words, he stares at her for a few seconds. FROWNING. ]
It can speak to me? Maybe it needs to work on that. [ maybe you need to be less of an asshole levi and stop telling ur pokemon shitty poop jokes idk ]
video;
[... errrrrrr, well just one face in Espurrs case, but you get the point when Purrloins look so devilish and Espurrs look... creepy.]
It should be able to, yeah. [FROWNING.] You both need to work on that, it's about team work. It -- and maybe you should check the gender instead of calling it it -- is not going to start talking with you if you're just calling it creepy as hell.
[OR IT MIGHT, but you know, that's not a very good start for a conversation with the Espurr anyway. Also, do you want pokemon to use as many fucks and shits in its speak as you do? Maybe not.]
video;
Should I be treating them more like children, and less like animals? [ this is a legitimate question, even if it sounds SKEPTICAL AS HELL ]
video;
Yeah. Yeah, actually that's a good idea. You know, sooner or later at least some of them start acting like tiny little kids anyway.
video;
and now he's frowning hardcore. ]
So I'll have to take care of them like fucking toddlers. [ welp... ]
video;
that actually makes her laugh.]
Hey, taking care of toddlers is easy. ...at least, you know, most of the time.
video;
On top of the... these Pokemon.
video;
video;
I'm sorry, what? Air... bending?
video;
[Right, world of pokemon. Lots of people from different worlds, and most of them haven't heard of bending stuff.]
Sorry. It's a term back where I come from for controlling and manipulating air. The same's possible for water, fire and earth too, and then we use those for stuff like attacking, defense and for many other things in and outside fights.
video;
[ now, though, he's looking pretty curious. ]
You can control elements?
video;
[Or why do you sound like that with those questions, curious girl is curious! She nods at the question.]
Yeah, all those four and some things that come with them, like metal because it's part of earth. Except platinum, and other highly purified metals.
[Humanity's Strongest Soldier, meet ... well, if she was a soldier, she'd have the same title, but in terms of her world, she's Humanity's Strongest Bender.]
video;
[ a pause... ]
I'm sure that makes defending yourself much easier.
[ he jealous ]
video;
Yeah, getting cannibalized by anything is definitely not my ...thing. [Kind of reminds her of a fight against a giant spirit-thing though.] Can you do anything to them? [because she'd fight them, call it a ten thousand year old reincarnation cycle of trying bring peace into the world.
aaand she winces, half visibly even.]
Iiit does, but it also means, that people know my weaknesses and that there are too many people, who try to either kidnap me or kill me.
[Shrug, because then she just deals with insane idiots somehow. Except she's almost dying in her canon point, ooops.
Nothing to be jealous for... well, okay yes there is.]
video;
[ then; ]
Yes. We can kill them; which we do, although it's not exactly a bunch of fun.
video;
[because it's not a fun life situation to be in, if you're everyone's target all the time.
O--Ohhh.]
Well, killing is never a bunch of fun. [Been there, done that once and trying it again in her current canon point.] But when it's the only way to survive, or the only thing you can do, then I can't really say I wouldn't do it too.
video;
humanity's strongest self-satisfaction tbqh ]
[ Then, after a few more seconds, his expression is sobering from her words. He clears his throat and takes a moment, steeling himself almost. ]
Yeah. Yeah. And you know what? It was fine, shit was pretty all right, killing these fucking giant monsters—they're monsters after all, we don't know what they're fucking doing—we don't know why they're doing it—
[ Levi's feeling somewhat... talkative. Or, as he told Eren the one time, "I'm always talkative." haha. insert eren's awkward laughter. sure you are, levi. ]
But they might be people. You know how fucked up that is? They could be people, and we didn't know until just now. That's a fucking problem.
—but, whatever. It isn't happening here. Cuddly animals and shit are happening here.
video;
[Korra looks curious when she looks at his face and hears the sound. Ummm, are you okay, mister?
Her face gets a lot more serious as he speaks. That world sounds... horrible. Right right, killing those, who you can't do anything else about is what you kind of have to do, but as she said, it's never fun. Especially when she's supposed to be some peace and balance bringer, a ha ha... But she gets it. It's just one of the darkest worlds she's ever even heard of, her own is -- a lot more peaceful compared to that even though she's always in some kind of danger but she can deal with that.
Yeah, hello suddenly you're being very talkative, mister. Not that Korra minds, at all, she's always curious to hear about other worlds even if they're some kind of horror... but she notices it.
And she looks shocked hearing that they might be people.... uh, yeah, that's a ... problem.]
That's ... [ a really fucking big problem and really fucked up as you might say it, Levi, but this is Korra so there'll be less fucks in the way she speaks.] ... Seriously messed up and sounds really horrible. [ugh, what is she supposed to even say.] Maybe you'll find a way to turn them back to people? If you don't -- well, aren't you kind of helping them to get away from it even by killing them? B-because you're killing them and even if they don't have anything left of their mind left, I don't think they'd want to be around just to be monsters, who kill what they used to be.
[Sigh. Maybe her mind is just a mess right now. Or well, actually, it's been a mess ever since she woke up in chains at Zaheer's hiding place or ever since the man airbended her father down from the mountain... She swallows. Story time? Story time!]
I've only killed someone once, so I have no idea how it feels to kill so many, and this one went peacefully after our insane fight with a form of bending, so I have no experience in other ways of it either...
But he used to be a human too, a relative of mine actually, before he decided to mess with some huge power that's like the opposite of my powers. Because I guess he wanted to get powers like I have to end the world or start a new one, doesn't really matter what he wanted to with them because it wasn't a good plan.
It -- didn't go well for him in the end, and there was nothing I could do to get him back from that transformation or whatever you want to call it. But he used to be a human, and then he wasn't and my options were to either die or survive, and dying is never a real option... So yes, I know at least something about how messed up it can be to do that to someone, who used to be a human before.
[STILL A LOT LESS MESSED UP THAN YOUR WORLD, BUT WELL SHE'S FROM A KID'S SHOW ANYWAY.]
...and it's generally like that here, yeah, but weird things happen around the end of November and May. We won't really remember much about it, but they might show up, or anyone you know or have known might show up, or anyone's powers might work during a one, very weird weekend, that feels more like a dream later. No one really has many details about it, it's like we forget whatever happens or remember bits from here and there. [So maybe it's just a dream, who knows.]
