second spell | video/action for olivine docks

[legendoflove]

[After losing three days and literally getting tossed to the other side of Johto, someone is looking a LOT less chipper compared to her last entry. Her clothes are messy and her hair could use a comb or three, and she's cradling her Ditto and Hoppip - both of whom have seen far better days. Frankly, compared to her last post, the image she's giving off of a beaten up girl with a pair of Pokemon - also beaten up - is about as far from that first image as you can get.]

Um... Does anyone else not remember the past few days? I feel like I had a really, really... familiar feeling dream. There were a lot of people in it, and I know I... [... she bites her lip. secret identity, right, right.] ... Never mind. I must have just slept a really long time is all.

[The dark mood is lifted somewhat - as Houka gives a more energetic, if frustrated, look to the screen. Or anyone who might be around Olivine after this whole fourth wall dealie.]

... Not! Who would believe we slept for three days and just conveniently ended up somewhere totally different? Unless something like magic is involved, and I think I'd remember that, then something is definitely up, and I really don't appreciate being out of the loop!

[She lets out a loud groan - at which point a Pidove, newly captured, swoops down to see what's up with its new trainer. It tries to be affectionate, but Houka's too hussy to be thankful for it now, cute as it is.]

What's worse is my Pokemon here aren't as strong as the ones all the way here... We got run all the way back to town by some little elephants of all things! It's just lucky the ones I threw balls at stayed in the balls, but still-- Whose idea of fun is this? I thought this was supposed to be a game...

And more importantly, why don't they have cars here?!

[Another loud grown, followed by an even louder SPLASH as she kicks the water.]

I've got courage, but what am I supposed to do with it when I'm stuck here getting thrown around like this?

... Mom... Dad... Everyone...

[The feed cuts out there. She'll be back to normal later on, and some friendly words could certainly help in the meantime, but this first dose of "reality" and her Pokemon getting the crap beaten out of them's been tough. She'll be curled up on shore for action tags if anyone's around.]

[sogeneric]

I dunno how they get around just on foot, without even bikes..

[ a deep sigh. Walking sucks. ]

video.

[legendoflove]

Exactly! No one should have to walk that much!

[a pause - kid here.] ... Where did you end up?

video.

[sogeneric]

We aren't even in 'Johto' anymore.. We're in a place called Kanto.

[ a pause. ]

I don't think it's the Kanto region of Japan, though.. We're somewhere called Pallet Town.

[video]

[paladinlost]

Expect to "sleepwalk" all over Johto and Kanto every six months or so. This is the fourth time this has happened, and they've not yet found a better excuse.

[video]

[legendoflove]

... Every sixth months?

[she's about to remark, but she scowls at the "excuse"]

No one could sleepwalk that far in just three days!

[video]

[paladinlost]

Of course not, but none of the locals seem to care about that. They truly expect us to believe that excuse.

[video]

[legendoflove]

The... locals? [a beat] Like those Joy people?

action

[her_mouse_jesty]

[After checking up on lightning, she's off to return back to her little inn. However, she spots the curled up girl, and slows down, coming up to her.]

Oh, dear... are you all right?

action

[legendoflove]

-- H-Huh?

[Oh shoot, she must be a real wreck here. She wipes at her eyes and, after making she her Pokemon are all alright, offers a smile at the approaching person.]

I'm... okay I guess. New might be an easier word, unless you're new too.

action

[her_mouse_jesty]

[She offers a kind smile.]

I've been here a long time myself... if you've just arrived to Olivine, does this mean you need a place to stay?

action

[legendoflove]

Huh? [she blinks, then raises up her hands. under normal circumstances, she'd be going JACKPOT inside at someone offering a hand like this, but with all these feels going on right now, she can't think like that at the moment.]

Ah... I appreciate it, but I couldn't-- I'll find somewhere. Probably.

[video]

[machinamonkey]

Are okay, Houka?

[video]

[legendoflove]

-- Ah! Rikku!

[Houka bites her lip, then nods, smiling weekly.]

I... will be. I've got to have courage, after all!

[video]

[machinamonkey]

Yeah, but it's still okay to be upset and stuff over...whatever happened this weekend.

[impulsives]

Endure it.

[That's all he says to the last part of the feed.]

[legendoflove]

-- Huh?

[impulsives]

...This place take and return you without notice, so the best you can do right now is to endure it.

[Video]

[tobeyourhero]

Uwaaah... You look like a mess. [CAPTAIN OBVIOUS SPEAKING.]

I'll admit that it's pretty weird that we've scattered around like this, but we shouldn't lose hope!!

[Video] 1/.2

[legendoflove]

I-- [ack wiping at her eyes] I do not!

[CUTS THE FEED]

[Video]

[legendoflove]

[SOME TIME LATER she will be popping back, cleaned up, and looking serious. or... trying to be.]

I'm sorry you had to see that, Shou-chan. You should burn that image of Hou-sama from your memory.

What were you saying?

[Video] 1/2

[tobeyourhero]

[SORRY HOUKA. He's going to rub it in obnoxiously.]

Hahaha! That would be impossible! You were just crying your eyes out a few minutes ago~!

[Video]

[tobeyourhero]

Anyway! I was saying that you gotta have more courage in a time like this. Once you get used to walking around, it's really fun.

[ Video ]

[usedwrench]

[Ouch. Winry really knows how it feels to wake up in a strange city full of pokemon who are on completely different levels than your own...]

Hey, [you probably hear this a lot but] are you okay?

[ Video ]

[legendoflove]

... Mmmm...

[She thinks it over, wanting to at least be... fair to Winry? She was really helpful when she got here, after all...]

More or less? I'm more worried about how my Pokemon are going to do.

[ Video ]

[usedwrench]

[Worried Winry is worried, about the girl and her pokemon.]

Ummm, mine spent most of their time in their poke balls or close to me when I woke up in Mahogany Town. We had to wait for weeks to get out of there, so I couldn't even start training properly before we got out...

...Maybe you can find someone with flying type pokemon and the thing that the pokemon require to fly. Then you could get out of there if you want to get out of there. [She has Skye the Altaria, but hey, she doesn't have the disk/HM.

...And not telling her that she's kind of considering to send Skye over to help with the other pokemon. She'd be even "too strong" against them and Winry might need her for herself.]
