[VOICE/VIDEO] 001: Cry for the lost

Jan 03, 2011 00:49

...It keeps crying.

[The voice is quiet and halting. Angela speaks slowly, drawing out her words a little longer than usual. She sounds exhausted.]

This creature... the... the file says it's crying for its Momma. Is there... something I can do? I can't sleep.

[Not that she wants to. Sleeping means dreaming and even if the fire's gone and he's gone ( Read more... )

Have you tried calling it back into its Pokeball?

[She spoke as if it should have been obvious.]

[Angela remains unseen; the video still focusing on the Cubone.]

No. I won't do that.

Why not? [She examined the video carefully, having not seen a Cubone before.]

It- it would be... cruel. Like sending a crying child to their room and locking it in.

...I see.

[Even if she didn't understand the sentiment, Chidori could see the logic there.]

Try...I don't know, holding it. My Medea often wants me to do that.

Holding... it? [The camera jolts up and down once or twice as she takes a hesitant step or two closer. It grows closer to the creature before she sets it down. Jumper-clad arms arc into view, her hands hesitating before awkwardly picking the creature up. It flails a little and she almost drops it before drawing it out of sight of the video to hold it. The crying seems undeterred at first until it finally calms down a little, at least.]

Ah...did it work?

[If it had, it was a damned lucky guess on Chidori's end.]

It's still crying... but it seems a little quieter.

I suppose you may be all it has for a mother now.

I- I'm no mama! I mean, mother. I can't be a mother to anything!

You're its trainer.

[Chidori knelt down, standing back up with a clingy Charmander in her arms.]

What choice do you have?

I'm... what? Oh right, that book... But why? I was just... Well, I didn't expect this...

How should I know the reasoning behind all this? I don't think any of us are supposed to be here.

That's what I thought. It just doesn't make any sense.

There's not much we can do but follow along with this place's rules.

For now, at least.

I guess that makes sense. But it's not like I'm anything special, so I don't get this.
