[004-- Video/Action for those in Cherrygrove]

[bufudyned]

[See Mitsuru. See Mitsuru covered in mud, with smallish tree branches stuck in the locks of her red hair. She seems to have finally made it to Cherrygrove City, if the buildings behind her are any indication of her location, but it definitely looks like she didn't have an easy time getting there. Mitsuru + the wilderness when by herself = bad

K-Kirijo-san?! Why are you such a mess?!

--wait, you lost track of Aigis-san...?

[video] o7!

[bufudyned]

[a small, embarrassed/annoyed look, but deciding to focus on the second question over the first]

I was helping her out of the mud, and she suddenly disappeared. I'm not quite sure where she went.

[video]

[combat_butler]

I... I see... I hope she didn't get too gung-ho about reaching Cherrygrove and take a wrong turn...

But really, Kirijo-san-- You need to make sure you clean yourself up! Especially your clothes, given the limited choices we have here...

[video]

[bufudyned]

[there's an embarrassed flush, and her gaze shifts away. She's not used to finding herself in this condition, even after all the trekking she did in Tartarus. There was no mud in that twisted labyrinth, after all]

I apologize for my appearance, Ayasaki.

[bullybait]

[Oh wow, someone who failed nearly as much as him. And a girl! Enma will be wandering past with Sentret in his arms. After a moment of staring, he'll rummage through his pockets, dropping things everywhere, and eventually come up with some crumpled bandaids to hold out to you.]

Here.

[video] placeholders are fine! o7

[bufudyned]

[The gesture takes Mitsuru off guard for a few seconds, before she reaches out to tentatively take the bandaids]

... thank you.

Er, he's in cherrygrove, so. XD; Action, plz.

[bullybait]

[If you're lucky it's one of those pokémon bandaids he got from Nurse Joy!]

...It's fine. I always have a lot.

[shieldofjustice]

Aigis...hmm.

[You'll have to excuse him. The similarity between Aigis's name and a certain mobile suit he once piloted is rather uncanny.]

I don't know her by name. Can you tell me what she looks like?

[video]

[bufudyned]

[a nod. thank goodness someone is trying to help]

She's a petite girl, with short blonde hair, as well as a mechanical build. [calling Aigis a robot didn't sound right anymore, even if it was technically true] She's also traveling with an Eevee.

[video]

[shieldofjustice]

Petite, short blonde hair, Eevee...

...Wait, "mechanical build?"

[video]

[bufudyned]

[a nod]

Aigis was originally built as a weapon... though she's become much more than that since then.

[Naoto comes up to Mitsuru towards the end of the message. She has her 'gear on so there might be a little bit of an echo.]

I heard that you have a missing person? Perhaps I can assist you in the search.

[action]

[bufudyned]

[Mitsuru jumps a bit, whipping around to face Naoto, poise tense. But she relaxes as soon as she listens to the girl's message. Behind her, the Butterfree continues to hover, watching the exchange carefully]

I would appreciate that, thank you. She seemed to disappear right into thin air.

[action]

[fortunatewings]

Could you detail where you saw her last and what you were doing? That may shed light on the potential reason for the disappearance.

[Naoto is all business but her Natu is hopping over to get a better look at Mitsuru and Butterfree.]

[action]

[bufudyned]

[Mitsuru snaps her gear shut and pockets it, crossing her arms over her torso as she answers the detective's questions. She appreciates Naoto's air of professionalism]

Route 30 was where I saw her last. We were... [a pause, because she doesn't really want to say 'stuck in the mud'] ... preoccupied with something. I looked away for a few moments, and when I turned back, she was gone.

[video]

[complexrestart]

Mii, I'm glad you made it.

[video]

[bufudyned]

Thank you, Furude.

Have you and Ayasaki made it to Violet City yet?

[video]

[complexrestart]

We're almost there!

[She smiles a little.] You should probably clean up a bit before you meet your friends.

[video]

[bufudyned]

[this is an slightly embarrassed flush]

I-I suppose you're right. Please forgive my appearance.
