Day 13 || video/action for Azalea

[pokemondolly]

[Oh, it's Midori! Long time, no see, sweetheart. She's sitting on her bed at the inn, in cute meowth-adorned pajamas with separators between newly painted toes. Her Eevee is asleep on her pillows, just barely visible in the shot. The camera is being held by her Squirtle and Cubone, working together in spite of it not being necessary.]

[Lottie comes out of the bathroom, hair in curlers and in her nightgown. Ruffles follows her out]

Midori, honey, what's wrong?

[action]

[pokemondolly]

[Midori is kneeling on the bed, hunched over her pokegear, frantically calling the same number over and over again while sniffling.]

Lottie, I can't get a hold of Takumi! And his pokemon... [She points at the Pidgey sitting on the bedside table, two pokeballs tied to his foot, and proceeds to wail. Finishing a sentence, what is that?]

[action]

[daddydothis]

Oh honey.

[Lottie hurries over to hug the other girl.]

An' y'team's all full an' ev'rythin'.

[Jules hops up into Midori's lap, as does Evangeline.]

[action] And then I spammed this icon.

[pokemondolly]

[Midori hides her face in Lottie's shoulder.]

What am I going to do..?

[It's dark where Athrun is -- even darker than the night sky. Maybe he's in a cave?]

Midori? Midori, what's wrong?!

[video]

[pokemondolly]

[TEARS. SO MANY TEARS.]

Athrun, Takumi... Takumi's pokemon showed up at my window! [Whimper.]

[video]

[shieldofjustice]

[Athrun has no idea who this Takumi is. However, he's been around the block enough times to know what's going on.]

...I'm sorry. I know what it's like to lose a friend here.

[pokemondolly]

[sob] S-so he's gone..?

[chemwhiz]

[Sorry, crying girl is more important that cute Pokemon. He sounds worried, the feed cut out kind of abruptly and he could swear she looked like she was about to cry. Tentatively-]

Midori?

[pokemondolly]

[Oh yes, Wally. There are tears.]

I... [Midori sobs, taking a moment to collect herself enough to talk.] I can't reach o-one of my friends, and all of his pokemon... [She glances offscreen at the pokemon in question.] Th-they showed up at my window...

[HERO MODE: ACTIVATE. He wishes he could just speed over to her, but he'll do what he can.]

Where did you see him last? Give me as many details as you can and I'll do my best to look for him, alright?

[pokemondolly]

I think he was still in Cherrygrove, but...

[She sighs, defeated.]

Everyone knows what a dead pokegear number and pokemon going to friends means. He's not in Johto anymore.

( video )

[reaccepts]

... Midori? Are you alright?

( video )

[pokemondolly]

[By this point, she's sniffling and cuddling her Eevee.]

O-one of my friends went home...

( video )

[reaccepts]

... I'm sorry to hear that. But at least... at least they're home now, right?

( video )

[pokemondolly]

It... didn't sound like he liked home very much, but I think he's probably happier there... Less pokemon...

[usedlaserbeam]

...Is everything all right, Komaki-san?

[Oh, look, Yagyuu and a young Vulpix are peering into the camera.]

[pokemondolly]

[She hesitates, then shakes her head.]

N-not really... One of my friends left and... I don't know what to do...

video;

[usedlaserbeam]

Ah, I'm sorry to hear that. Not one of the ones you were traveling with, I hope?

[pokemondolly]

No, but... I used to... And now I have his pokemon and no space on my team...
