eight. ☆ ( video / action for goldenrod city )

[uuing]

[ video ]

[ The video feed is pretty simple, really, there isn't even any voice - all that happens is that a drawing is held in front of the communicator, slightly clumsy but still easily viewable. ]

[He looks up from the bench he's sitting on only to find his vision obstructed by a piece of... drawing?]

...eerrr...

[Spotting Yosuke, Shinn kinda guessed that something happened to Sakutaro and...]

Not really, Maria.

[action]

[uuing]

Uu-..

[ She puffs her cheeks slightly, probably in disappointment. She thought you would know better than that, big bro Shinn!! ]

Sakutaro must be hiding re-ally well.

[action]

[swordofimpulse]

...well, have you checked his usual hiding places?

[Welp. He's now unsure on how to let Maria know that Sakutaro's gone back...]

[action]

[uuing]

Maria has always been looking all across the house and all over Goldenrod with Yosuke, uu-. Don't know where he is.

[ 'Yosuke' apparently agrees, since he lets out a 'Slooow'. ]

action

[uuing]

[ Oh, she recognizes this guy! So she quickly runs over, waving at him while holding the papers with her other hands. (The Slowpoke slowly hobbles after her.) ]

Uu-, hi! It's Maria! [ She nods, before.. oh, right, she realises what she was asking everyone. ]

... Byakuya, have you seen Sakutaro? [ She holds up the drawing to him. ]

[uuing]

Not even a lion cub? [ Maria pouts a bit. ] Sakutaro is still a pretty young lion.

[usedkunai]

[Well, someone happens to be taking his Slowbro for a very leisurely walk. But before he spots Maria, he spots a very familiar Slowpoke. Because what other Slowpoke has headphones?]

[But with no sign of Sakutaro and only spotting Maria -- well, time to investigate. He'll be calling out from behind.]

Heeeeey, Maria-chan!

action;

[uuing]

Yosuke! Uu-!

[ She turns around, calling out his name before she even spots him like that. She then quickly runs over (the Slowpoke is a bit slower, slowly going after her). ]

Can you maybe help Maria out?

action;

[usedkunai]

[He kneels down to her level, grinning.]

Sure - what's up, Maria-chan?

action;

[uuing]

Maria's looking for Sakutaro!

[ She nods, somewhat determined, before holding up her drawing. Even though Yosuke obviously knows what Sakutaro looks like. ]

Haven't been able to find him since yesterday, uu-.

[video]

[partyofwin]

Wow, that's a really good drawing! I don't think I've seen that lion before though!

[video]

[uuing]

Kyakyakya, thank you! [ She smiles, although she then looks a bit more worried. ]

Uu-, where are you right now in Johto? Sakutaro could be anywhere..

[video]

[partyofwin]

I'm in Mahogany Town! Is that close to where you are? I can look around if it is! Colonel Custard can help me!

[video]

[uuing]

Maria's in Goldenrod, so.. [ She thinks for a moment. ]

... Uu-. Don't know where Mahogany is, but please look around for Maria, maybe Sakutaro wandered off there! [ nodnod. ] Who is Colonel Custard, though..?

[Action]

[onesideofmoon]

[She looks surprised as she's just passing that girl and the Slowpoke, when the girl shows her the picture. Hey, that's adorable! Mitsuki looks very excited and impressed.]

Waaaaaah, what a cute drawing. [Oh, there's text too. Her smile turns a little sad.] Ah, I'm sorry, but I haven't seen any lions for a long time.

[Action]

[uuing]

[ Maria smiles though, optimistic as ever, as she nods at the girl. ]

Uu-, you haven't seen any lions in Johto? ... Well, Maria thinks Sakutaro is the only lion here.

[Action]

[onesideofmoon]

[Never give up! Mitsuki smiles too.]

Ummm, I've talked with a very nice Lion and I've seen Shinx, Luxio and Luxray but I think that's all the lions I've seen here... Until that picture. Did your friend get lost?

[Action]

[uuing]

Do you mean Lion..? Lion is Maria's cousin, uu-, Lion Ushiromiya!

[ After that her expression turns just a tad unsure though. ]

Maria hasn't seen Sakutaro in a few days.. Usually Sakutaro and Maria are supposed to always be together, uu-.
