four diamonds ♦ video/action for Violet

[notafussbudget]

[ Rarity looks a little down, but she is smiling. She soon turns the camera to show a Sableye, hugging a dress dotted with rhinestones. It looks cheerful, but shies away from the 'Gear. ]

Good afternoon, Johto. This is Tanzanite, who just hatched yesterday. She's a darling thing, is she not? I believe she's quite fond of gemstones, which means we

[Timidly approaching.]

Rarity...?

[ Rarity looks up with a smile - more of a genuine one - for Fluttershy. ]

Hello, darling.

[fidgets.]

Um, well... I was... Just, wondering, if, maybe, you'd... like a...

[... ah, screw it. You're getting hugged.]

[notafussbudget]

[ Oh god, you've done it now.

Rarity wraps her arms around Fluttershy and makes a keening, sighing sound. ]

Fluttershyyyyy, I hate this! Everypony keeps disappearing!

[ sadly, Sora is still sleeping like a mofo, so Kairi's been somewhat down herself. All the same, she smiles. ]

You might make it to Goldenrod before we get back, Rarity.

[ Rarity perks a little when she sees Kairi. ]

Do you think so? - I'm still working on this outfit for you, by the way; I haven't forgotten. Things have just been a bit... chaotic.

[video]

[pluckycharm]

Take your time-- things have been a little crazy on my end, too.

[video]

[notafussbudget]

Oh? Is everything all right?

[video]

[soulcool]

[Soul opens his mouth to say something, before closing it again and shaking his head with a small, but kinda upset, smile.]

... It'll be great to see you again, Rarity. Sorry, we uh... left before you got back to Violet.

H-hey, if I... send something to you, could you patch it up a bit?

[It should be kinda obvious what it is -- his favorite jacket's still got tears in it from when Eridan attacked him in the Union cave (but luckily most of his injuries are healed up, leaving the coat his only big problem right now).]

[video]

[notafussbudget]

Oh, Soul, darling, you... don't have to apologize to me. [ She started out this sentence fairly exuberantly, but her voice has quieted considerably already. ] And if it's that jacket, please do send it to me; it looks horrific.

[ She goes quiet for a moment after that, looking uneasy. It's pretty clear she has something on her mind. ]

[video]

[soulcool]

Y-yeah, it's this one alright.

...

... And y'know, if you need to talk about anything, I'm right here.

[He doesn't like prying much, but he'll hint that he can tell something's wrong for sure.]

[video]

[notafussbudget]

[ She glances up at him again, still obviously unsure. ]

... Well... it's about Eridan. [ Supremely uncomfortable, here. ]

[ This is Cliffjumper. This is Cliffjumper with an Electrike draped over one massive shoulder. The pokémon barks happily and paws at the 'Gear, even though it's way out of his reach ]

Huh. Second person I've heard callin' people... well, ponies.

[ Awkward pause. ] Probably not my place to ask, but do people just... go home all the time? No warning, no free pass to take anyone with 'em?

[ video ]

[notafussbudget]

[ She glances away from the screen, busying herself with a pincushion. ]

I suppose that is how it works. Pon- people just appear the very same way, after all.

[ video ]

[getthehorns]

That hardly seems fair.

[ video ]

[notafussbudget]

I thought not, myself. [ Pouting a little, she glances up at the screen. ] But I suppose it's the way of things.

[video]

[trusts_in_johto]

[That gem-eyed... Pokemon looks... well. But not gonna comment on it.]
More and more people are vanishing from Johto, but none are appearing. It is... distressing.

[video]

[notafussbudget]

'Distressing' is certainly a word for it. [ She fusses with some fabric in her hands, looking at it closely. ] Perhaps... whatever it is that brought us here is finally... taking us all back?

[ She glances up, hopefully. ]

[video]

[trusts_in_johto]

Going home...? Perhaps. That may be good, to reunite with those you care about. [For others. Not for Machi.]

[video]

[notafussbudget]

If that is the case, but... I'm not certain it is. [ She sighs a little. ]
