[When the Video clicks on, Minnie is in the Saffron Pokemon Center. There's an obvious bruise on her cheek, and her eyes are red from hours of crying. Yet she sits up right, trying to be dignified and brave for whoever is listening.]

I feel everyone has a right to know this.

During our train ride to Saffron the other day, our train was hijacked by

All of them?

[Roxas doesn't ask but he really hopes this isn't because Minnie was being super nice or something like that.]

[her_mouse_jesty]

No, they were only able to grab four of them.

[seasalttwilight]

That's still a lot.

[her_mouse_jesty]

I will get them back in time.

[seasalttwilight]

Yeah, but still. Aren't you mad?

[her_mouse_jesty]

Of course I am. But right now being mad won't do me any good. I needed to inform everyone about the seriousness of the situation, and I need to be calm for my friends.

[seasalttwilight]

So you're not gonna go after them or anything?

[her_mouse_jesty]

Where would I go? What would I fight them with? In time, perhaps I can help others to take back what's mine and to stop their ways, but for now, I must do what I can for my friends.

[seasalttwilight]

But we're not the ones who got hurt.

[her_mouse_jesty]

... Roxas, I wasn't the only one hurt. Xion, Sora, Riku, many of us were involved.

[seasalttwilight]

[Oh. OH. Well now. Now he just feels bad. He had no idea about any of this. There's a very long pause as he's just trying to sort out emotions and it's bad. His reply is kind of strangled.]

Are...are they alright?

[her_mouse_jesty]

Xion got the worst of it, but with patience and rest, she'll be all right. The Center is giving us all the medical attention we need.

[seasalttwilight]

[Oh Minnie. Why'd you have to tell him that? Now he just feels awful and he should have been there and why didn't he go and worry worry worry.]

What about her pokemon?

[her_mouse_jesty]

[what, you expect her to lie? pfft.]

I don't think so, but... we haven't been talking much. I haven't been, anyway...

[seasalttwilight]

Just. Look after her. Please.

[He'll be over here. Flailing about what to do]

[her_mouse_jesty]

Of course I will. And I'll send her your good wishes.
