Second Dress--Cherrygrove City--Video/Action

[daddydothis]

[Another video from Lottie, folks. This time, she's standing under a tree and she looks a total mess. Just...don't mention anything--hair, dress, make-up, anything. She's trying not to freak out again.]

Midori, honey, I'm in Cherrygrove now, an' I'm real lost, not t'mention that Rar--

[ This is clearly an excellent time to have reached Cherrygrove. Minato has wandered through town, having taken the time to purchase an umbrella and dry off at the Pokemon Centre before striking out again. And then...we see this.

Hero instincts, activate! Minato wanders over, looking curious. ]

...you okay?

[daddydothis]

No! I'm wet, I'm cold, people're gettin' soul-napped, an' there're people from th'future here!

[Not a good day for Lottie]

[ofmywill]

Mn. That's true.

[ Welp, only one thing to do! Minato covers the rest of the distance to hold the umbrella over her, other hand tucked into his pocket. ]

Better get out of the rain, first.

[Lottie smiles, standing up and trying to fix her dress]

Thank ya. I'm Charlotte, by the way.

Minato.

[ He's a patient boy, just holding the umbrella over her, even if he gets more than a little wet in the process-- some way to enter the world, one day of sunshine before walking through rain for days. Definitely not mentioning how drenched she looks, though!

But conversation! Might be an idea. He is so bad at that stuff. ]

Have you been here long, Charlotte?

action;

[daddydothis]

Just since Monday, an' I only got here a bit ago. You?

[She stands, so he can use the umbrella better]

[ofmywill]

About the same.

[ Pretty tough gig. Once she's up, he can start leading her along back to the Pokemon Centre- out of the rain, into some dry clothes, all that jazz. But for now, best to take her mind off the depressing subjects. ]

Did you say 'the future' before?

[daddydothis]

[Naturally, she follows]

Yes. Apparently, most o'th'people here ain't from my time. I'm from 1920...somethin' or othah.

action;

[ofmywill]

Huh...2010 for me. [ Which just leaves the accent-- but he can guess. ] And New Orleans?

action;

[daddydothis]

Yessir! [A beat] Y'ain't gonna try an' mimic me, are ya? One fella did that, scared the heck outta me.

[ofmywill]

[ Just a shake of his head here. That would be so mean! Also, he's bad at impressions. ]

No. [ ... ] Never met anyone from there.

action;

[daddydothis]

Well, I dunno what it's like in 2010 or whenevah, but back home, New Orleans is the place t'be! 'Least, if you got any taste.

Wouldn't know- I'm from Japan. But it sounds great.
