Some background prose discussing what led up to this )

[Video, at least a couple hours later]

[Eventually, when Ryner never comes back from a quick routine store run, Rose gets worried, and she, Jehra, and Elfy are of course going to go investigate. They only get more worried when they find his bag and sunglasses abandoned in the middle of the road. (Jehra breaks up a petty argument between a bunch of Duskulls and Shuppets over which group is stronger, but they haven't seen any humans of Ryner's description pass by.)

Jehra is able to pick up his scent, though, and it eventually leads to the house of a minor NPC, which is where Rose turns on the video feed.

"Clefair! Clefairy clef ri Fairy clef clefairy clef!" The video is initially of her, standing in the windowsill, really, really confused. Her dear partner is acting really strangely and she doesn't know what to do about it!

She then turns the camera, to reveal... Is Ryner cooking? He is seriously cooking. And not just microwavable stuff, we're talking actual chef stuff. And tons of it, too. ...Mostly desserts, but still. There are mixing bowls filled with cake batter, cookie sheets lightly covered in shortening, pots and pans of all shapes and sizes, and ingredients of all sorts laid out all over the place. And Ryner is expertly using each and every ingredient without even having to glance at a cookbook. And cheerfully humming while doing so.

What is this.

"Dit?" The sound of Elfy's questioning voice is enough to distract Ryner from his cooking briefly, but, well...]


Oh, aren't you cute! Where did you come from?

[No recognition of his own Pokémon, not to mention how he's using a very uncharacteristic falsetto tone to his voice. And then, when Elfy uses Transform and turns into Ryner right in front of him in order to see how he reacts...]

And so talented, too! Turning into someone who isn't right in front of you like that... Would you like to help me? I'll let you have some of what we make, at the end.

[...aaaaaaaand no recognition of his own self, either. Clearly, there is something very wrong here.

(Spoilers: it's a Yamask.)]

[Voice]

[The Pokégear seems to have been accidentally turned on halfway through something crashing. There’s a lot of yelping and struggling that, if you’re familiar with a certain lazy mage, sounds kind of like him. And mixed in is the occasional "Fairy!" telling him to stay still, and perhaps even an occasional "Gran!" asking similar.

Eventually, however, the struggling mostly subsides, and instead, there is cranky yelling.]


Seriously, Rose, Pino! The hell is this? And you even cut holes in it? That’s not what you do with a bedsheet at all!

[that’s his top priority...

"Clefair~!" As though saying ‘ta da’ or the like, Rose apparently shows him something.]


Y-You... is that what you’re up to. I should have guessed...

["Sol?" At some distance from the microphone, perhaps on the bed, an Absol looks up, as though sensing something. From just the audio, though, it’s hard to tell if anyone else did or not.]

Honestly... I’m really not interested, you know! Dressing up in costumes and stuff like that? Seems like it’d be really...

[...Odd, his voice just caught in his throat. And the next word -]

...bother...some...

[- seems like he’s kind of straining to get it out. But after a few moments, he starts talking again as though nothing was wrong, even if those who know him well and are paying attention might notice something... different in his tone. Not menacing, thankfully, but... different.]

...well, then again, it is pretty clever, isn’t it. How about I go show off your work to everyone else?

[okay yeah. Ryner Lute, changing his mind that drastically about something previously determined as bothersome, without a direct death threat as the reason. Something is off.

"Fairy clefairy!" If Rose has noticed, however, she doesn’t seem to care. In fact, she likes this idea a lot.]


All right! I’ll be back later.

[And now it sounds like he’s getting up and starting to walk out of the room. Though, before he leaves, "Ditto dit ditto?" asks Elfy, curious as to whether he can borrow Ryner’s form and go visit the festivities.]

Mmm? Ah, sure thing, go ahead. Have fun!

[...but Ryner Lute has never been able to directly understand Pokémon before. And he’s never really approved of Elfy transforming into him, either. Something is clearly wrong here.

And after the sounds indicate that Ryner has left the room, there’s a quiet conversation that the Pokégear picks up, taking place across the room. Cut OOCly because I couldn't tame my TL;DR apparently. )]


[Action]

[Anyone trying to call Ryner Lute’s pokégear will get one of his Pokémon at the moment. ...Probably Lori or Jehra, all things considered, since Rose and Elfy are going out, but.

Anyone walking around Violet City today, however, especially if you’re near the edge of the woods or an alley between two buildings...

You might get the distinct feeling that you’re being watched.
