Yukari Takeba. Has anyone seen her? ... she's missing. That is, we travel together, and she hasn't turned up all day. I'd thought she might have been... displaced, like before, but I can't seem to find her contact information, for some reason. Also, I...

[ rangiku walks up softly behind him (which is a feat of its own with how loud she is) and gently hugs Suzaku. This should feel a tad awkward since she has giant whales on her chest. ]

Suzaku, I'm so sorry. I don't even know what to say. [ ;; she feels terrible about all of this. ]

[ it is only marginally awkward, since he's gotten so accustomed to her boobhugs. but how much longer until those disappear, too? he doesn't mean to, but he stiffens up and his expression hardens. ]

You don't need to say anything. It's not as if it could be helped.

[ SHE'LL NEVER DISAPPEAR EVERRRR. ]

Suzaku, let's complete her journey for her. If we can't fix it, we can sure as hell carry on her dream and maybe she'll return in the middle of it. I apparently was here before, but I didn't have any memories of it. The same thing may happen, but there's a record feature on this camera and I have a couple of videos of the three of us.

Do you want to rest in Azalea for awhile?

[ Though she wanted to throw a big party in goldenrod, she decided against it because of Suzaku's new challenge ;;. ]

[usedrapidspin]

[ he glances up at that, a little alarmed. so it'd happened to her, too. what about himself? he never even thought to check. he doesn't say anything at first, staring back at the ground, but only a few moments pass before he raises his head again. ]

No. You're right, we need to continue. It's what she would expect of us, and she would do the same if it were you or me. At least... I think so. When you're ready, let's keep moving.

[ She continues to latch onto him despite how shocked he is. ]

Suzaku, if you left, I'd feel really sad. You're an amazing guy, and I'd hate to see you leave without saying a good-bye. I'd keep moving, because I'd have nothing to get stuck. Yukari left you with her pokemon, which are momentos on their own. You should take pride you have them, but don't get caught over them.

How about for the next two weeks we go at your own pace or do things you want to do? [ people leaving her isn't anything Rangiku's a stranger to. She'll still support Suzaku wherever he goes, but she wants to make sure his needs are tended to. That seems to be more of the issue here, sadly. ]

[usedrapidspin]

I'm going to train them.

[ he says it with newfound and henceforth unseen resolution, straightening his shoulders. ...well, as best he can with Matsumoto hanging off of them, at least. ]

When Yukari comes back, her team will be ready for her. That must be why they were left with me, and not someone else--because this is something that I can do, in spite of everything. It's not... completely hopeless.

[superboobies]

[ She notices the shoulder straightening and releases Suzaku. ]

That's a great idea! Just be sure to train your own pokemon, okay~?

I have a couple of extra slots on my team if you want to use more pokemon, as a temporary thing or something. [ She wants to help okay! Yukari was her travel partner too! ]
