one ☹ video (action for new bark town)

[utterlyupbeat]

[the feed flickers on to show a very... unhappy-looking child gazing down at the gear. by contrast, his rather excited!! looking poochyena seems to be watching the screen with great interest.]Uhm. Okay. I have a lot of questions. And I think I've been kidnapped, but I can't find the number for 911 on this

[Yuuri just so happened to be passing by when he heard someone talking. So, when Sergio finishes speaking, Yuuri will be walking on up to him.]

Hey, what's that book? I didn't get one like that...

[utterlyupbeat]

[looking up, blinking. he quickly appraises yuuri before looking back down at the book.]

. . . It's about, um... Pokémon breeding, it says.

[travelsbywater]

[He looks at the book for a few seconds before pointing at it.]

Can I see it? [After all, he's always wondered how pokémon lay eggs. That is, if that's what they even do.]

[utterlyupbeat]

If you want.

[holding out the book for yuuri to take! and poochyena, seeing that this person isn't a threat, starts to sniff at the other boy, tail wagging.]

1/3

[travelsbywater]

[He takes the book, but before starts to look through it, he gives the Poochyena a pat on the head.] He's pretty friendly.

[After giving the pokémon a smile, he opens up the book and flips through it.]

[travelsbywater]

[what is this]

[travelsbywater]

[He snaps the book shut and hands it back.]

[Time for a change of subject!]

You haven't been here for very long either, right?

[utterlyupbeat]

[... that isn't a very reassuring reaction. poochyena, ignorant of the situation, tries to lick yuuri's hand :9]

... Not really.

[travelsbywater]

[Yuuri just laughs at the Poochyena and gives it another pat on the head.]

Neither have I. Although, I've been here long enough to learn that we probably won't be going home anytime soon.

[!! new best friend]

That's what everyone's been saying...

[travelsbywater]

Yeah. I think all we can do is make the best of it, though. [smile!]

[utterlyupbeat]

That's easy to say, but...

[travelsbywater]

It may be hard to be optimistic about things like this but... I think it'll make it easier to get through this.

[utterlyupbeat]

I guess. Are you always optimistic?

[travelsbywater]

I guess I am. I mean, I kind of have to be...

[utterlyupbeat]

[...]

Why?
