the o.2nd shot // video/voice, action for Breeding Centre!

[usedhat]

[the feed clicks on to show a hat. it's a normal hat, some of you may recognize it: dark blue, generally on the head of [1] Naoto Shirogane. at the moment, it's on the head of a Xatu, who seems quite pleased with his new headgear. A moment later, a Ditto slithers out from around the Gear, surveys the Xatu, and promptly transforms into an identical

action;

[usedkunai]

[And just now, there is a very mischievous Cleffa bouncing into Naoto's line of sight. She is sombrero-free, but still has that stick-on mustache. And quietly, she's going to run behind Naoto and hide behind her legs, clinging tightly.]

action;

[usedhat]

[...there is a Cleffa bouncing over. Naoto pauses in her attempts to wrangle Dupin and glances down at the Cleffa.]

Ah, hello there.

action;

[usedkunai]

[She's still clinging. But she tugs on Naoto's pant leg a little. If she looks down, she'll see Kana making a "shoosh" motion. This is serious business hiding, Naoto!!]

action;

[usedhat]

Ah... [Naoto shooshes. no papping needed! she pauses for a moment and then turns her head away, keeping one eye slightly down to track Kana.]

action;

[usedkunai]

[She's pretty much just staying put. After a couple of minutes of peeking out, Naoto should be able to hear this coming from the hallway.]

Heeeeey, Kana! Come on! I said we'd play later, okay? But we gotta go! Like -- ten minutes ago!

[Kana is now letting out teeny, quiet Cleffa giggles and tugging excitedly at Naoto.]

action;

[usedhat]

[...ahh, Naoto understands. She considers for a moment and then turns slightly, moving slowly so Kana can follow, to hide her a little better from the viewpoint of the door.]

Did you lose someone? [she raises her voice a little to carry out the door.]

action;

[usedkunai]

[Kana totally appreciates all this, trying to muffle her giggles.]

Oh yeah - uh, kind of! [He stops a couple of feet from Naoto's doorway and letting out a sigh.] Have you seen Kana? I have an appointment at the Pokémon Center and uh... apparently she didn't want to wait to play hide-and-seek. S-seriously, what is my life sometimes?

action;

[usedhat]

I don't think I've met Kana. [Naoto can be a decent prankster! Okay, no, she's absolutely horrible at it, but she's doing decently at hiding Kana for the moment.]

action;

[usedkunai]

Oh, come on, Naoto-kun -- you know that's a lie! It's kind of hard to miss a Cleffa who runs around with a sombrero all the time!

action;

[usedhat]

[okay, she's smiling a little at that.] Ah, I never got the chance to tell her I liked her sombrero.

action;

[usedkunai]

We-well, don't make it sound like she's gone forever or something! [All his agony. Kana is tugging and Naoto's pants again, clearly thrilled with this.]

action;

[usedhat]

Oh, of course not! I'm sure you'll find her. Would you like help looking?

action;

[usedkunai]

Uh, yes? She's totally making me late!

action;

[usedhat]

All right. I'll keep an eye out for her. It'll go faster if we split up.

action;

[usedkunai]

[You are a cruel, cruel kouhai, Naoto.]

R-right. I guess we'll meet back here in a few then?

action;

[usedhat]

[let her have her fun. she does it so infrequently.]

Right. I'll see if Watson has seen her, as well.
