VIDEO ► ACTION

[ when the feed turns on, what you see -- are clouds. or just, a cloud pressed too close to the screen. a moment later, as if realizing that the gear had turned on, the cloud flits away to reveal a familiar blue swablu

Comments

[video] This is officially Athrun's worst day ever.

[shieldofjustice]

[Athrun's patrolling the city at this point, trying to figure out what's going on with all the collapsing. He's pretty lost in thought.

...But that comes to a stop when he sees the comatose Sheryl.]

Wha-- Oh, no! Sheryl!

[He runs over, assuming her Pokémon will let him get close enough to her.]

[video] nah! lacus hasn't collapsed yet 8Db

[northerncrosses]

[ oh look, it's that guy who sheryl was speaking over the gear the last time.

alto quickly flies over to him, flitting around and chirping all over his face in a panicky way. sheryl's girafarig however just stares back, pausing from his hauling of his trainer's body.

he's the suspicious one. ]

[action] ...Let's not jinx it.

[shieldofjustice]

Guh -- hey, hey, just calm down!

[Oh, Athrun has noticed the Girafarig staring at him. He puts up his hands, palms forward.]

It's okay. I'm here to help. I'm a friend.

[action]

[northerncrosses]

[ telling alto to calm down is one thing; making him to calm down, well, that's a completely different thing. alto's been excitable since day one and with his trainer unconscious, its energy is being spent mostly on flitting around in search of help.

he then starts to tug at athrun's hair the way he tugs sheryl's when he wants something. and at the same time, the girafarig drops his trainer's body on the ground with a muffled thump (that's going to hurt later on).

"You can take care of her then." ]

[spear_master]

[Good thing he has been avoiding all this strange pokemons when he was on his way to Cherrygrove. He then notices that familiar woman who once helped him when he asked it.

Just what's wrong...?]

Miss Sheryl!

[Have one Croix running to her side]

[Action]

[northerncrosses]

[ and have one swablu flying in front of his face as an attempt to stop him.

he's a stranger after all -- and it's possible that he might do something to his trainer. ]

[Action]

[spear_master]

Please, allow me to help.

[He politely asked to the swablu. It was clear that he didn't mean any harm to her.]

I can carry her inside a safer place. If you wish, you can attack me anytime you feel I'm a threat to her.

[Action]

[northerncrosses]

[ if he could tilt his head, alto definitely would have. he nevertheless flies back to sheryl's body, letting him through, but not without chirping a warning to him.

if this person were to harm his trainer . . . ]

No...

Sheryl! Sheryl!

Please, no!

[Video]- 2/2

[lc_whitequeen]

Am I too late again?

Sheryl... Alto, please... tell me... where is she? Where can I find her?

[Video]

[northerncrosses]

[ "it's lacus!"

alto hovers around the gear before he lands beside it, pecking at the glass surface of the device. he starts chirping again and again, speaking in pokémon tongue, as if explaining to the other girl what has happened to his trainer. ]

[Video]

[lc_whitequeen]

[ Clouds... was she outside the city by herself? There was no time to panic and break down.

First, she needed to know where she was. Was she near the ocean? Inside town? Anything. She just needed a clue. Grass? Water? ]

Alto, I need to ask something of you... can you push the device? Please, show me what you see.

[video] Oh god, they're traveling together but this is our first actual tag, isn't it.

[pokemondolly]

[Midori is in the pokemon center right now, because her Snorunt got hurt trying to bring down a Shedinja. She spots the message and panics, just a little.]

O-oh god! N-not you too!

[video] lmao i'm just handwaving everything rn

[northerncrosses]

[ have alto popping over the screen of the gear, wiping it with his cottony wings in a waving fashion. he chirps several times, communicating with her.

"you have to help her too!" ]

[video] SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN TO ME

[pokemondolly]

[BUT ALTO, MIDORI DOESN'T SPEAK POKEMON-- oh look there's her uninjured pokemon popping up to help. Say hello to Kimiko the Hoppip, Alto!]

Do you have any tips for beating those bugs? My senpai got hurt earlier!

[video]

[northerncrosses]

[ alto flies over to sheryl's girafarig, chirping to him then settling on his head. the girafarig paws at the ground, bobbing its head to get alto off.

"don't fight it. it just runs away when it sees you're aggressive."

"it's really strong. really strong." ]

[!! A video feed from Sheryl--]

Sheryl-san-- [... wait that's--]

[nyanrolls]

[............ why is she--]

[video] and this is a placeholder. cry

[nyanrolls]

Sheryl-san!!

[She's going to try and look closer at the feed to see if there anyone else near by who could help but-- Darn it, why is it impossible to view things well from these things.]

[video] *A*!!

[northerncrosses]

[ alto settles near the gear to peer at ranka. he knows her too, sheryl's friend from home.

he chirps a tune that sounds like one of sheryl's songs as if to calm her down. ]
