[069-- Video/Action]

[bakaitoukid]

[The feed is shaky, only because the camera is currently being held by Biz's tail, Kaito's Aipom, who is perched on his regular spot on top of Kaito's head. The magician is exiting the Olivine City gym, holding a newly earned and very shiny Mineral Badge above his head, inspecting it against the sunlight carefully. For having just won another badge

You've been here for nine years?!

[ video ] HAHAHA Cocona...

[bakaitoukid]

[whaaaaat]

Nine-- where the heck did you get that idea from? [not realizing the second part was recorded]

[ video ] this is her logic

[photonsaber]

You said something about nine years tomorrow, so...

[ video ] she is so adorable

[bakaitoukid]

When did I...

[oh. it clicks, and Kaito shoots his off-screen Aipom a look]

Someone was supposed to turn off the camera when I asked him to.

[video]

[restardom]

Huh? 'Anniversary'?

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

Anniversary of what? [yep, still not realizing he was recorded]

[video]

[restardom]

... Surprise recording, huh?

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

. . .

Yeah, kinda sounds like it.

[Action] Plaaaaceholderrrrrrr

[foolishwren]

Hey! Hey, Kaito!

[The yell comes from somewhere down the road-- and the shouter doesn't quite see his somber expression.]

[There's a slapping of bare feet on sandy cobblestones as Heather jogs up to him with her boots in one hand and an almost-white Cujo in tow. Apparently girls and their dogs could only resist the lure of the beach for so long.]

Hey! Whatcha do-- oh, dude, is that the badge from this town?

[Yeah, Heather, you just... interrupt that solemn moment, there.]

[Action] \o/

[bakaitoukid]

[... hey wait, wasn't that voice supposed to be all the way in Goldenrod]

Heather?

[He glances away from his badge and grins, pushing aside and solemn feelings he might have been lingering on a few moments ago. Heather is here, and that's enough to lift his spirit! Just a little bit]

Ooooi! What're you doing here?

[Action] HERE I AM, SUPER LATE

[foolishwren]

[Well, it was SUPPOSED to be, but between that weird weekend and the lack of general desire to get on that damn bus again... they just sort of hadn't left yet. ... And might not at all. This place was sort of nice...]

Hey! We uh-- ... didn't really wanna go back with the rest of the crazytrain.

[She comes to a halt with the Growlithe, who proceeds to snorfle all over Kaito's shoes. GOTTA SEE WHERE EVERYBODY HAS BEEN.]

So we're still here for the time being. It'd be a huge bummer to come all the way up here and not enjoy the beach, y'know?

[Action] I BACKTAG FOREVER

[bakaitoukid]

[snort] I can't really blame you for that one. [he bends down to pat Cujo on the head]

The beach is pretty nice. I like it more here than in Cherrygrove.

[k9tantei]

[He does have a rare moment of discretion at how - unusually subdued Kaito was...]

Congratulations on th'badge, but -

I think th'camera was going a bit longer'n you'd meant.

[bakaitoukid]

[yeeeeep. he is going to kill his monkey friend]

Er, don't worry about it, I was just thinking to myself.

[k9tantei]

Alright.

[Unfortunately, he's thinking. It's a dangerous thing for a detective.]

...

You OK?

[bakaitoukid]

Me? I'm fine!

[Slightly further down the street, a pink blurry shape can be seen. A pink blurry shape that appears to be running straight for Kaito and Biz.

Said pink blurry shape's trainer can be heard shouting at her to slow down, not that it help.]

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

[blinking]

What the--

[Biz, on the other hand leaps from his trainer's head and onto the ground to meet that pink blurry shape head on. BABY? IS THAT YOU? ;A;?]

[action]

[puppet_paladin]

[IT IS~♥! Cheerful and happy and all grown up, even, come get a big hug♥!

Cecil can now be seen faaaar away, running to catch up.]

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

[TACKLING HER TO THE GROUND it has been so looooong.

... Kaito is just watching with a sort of 'wtf' expression on his face]
