[It's late. Around midnight late, when most people are asleep. And Lightning, despite being most people, is also asleep with her Riolu curled into the crook of her neck and her Rapidash sleeping nearby. So. If she didn't turn it on and Sen is asleep, who turned on the video? Well, you may note that the camera is partially blocked by a shard of

[ That definitely woke Leon, though not with the acute start it gave Lightning; he's gotten pretty used to it over the months.

It did, however, attract the attention of one mama bird, who is rushing over to inspect her Lightning's newborn baby. Of course, she's shrieking and chirping herself, crooning in both encouragement and concern. ]

[Snow-bird turns at that chirping, bolting for the gear and peering at it like a cat peering at a toy for a moment before he coos a greeting. Hello to you too, mother! Isn't he big and strong looking? He might fly to see you soon, you know! ...Well. As soon as he can, anyway. He'll just keep chirping and chattering away at you for now.

Lightning, on the other hand, just sighs. That's another one that woke up because she left her gear on.]

[ Skarmory keeps cooing to the hatchling--yes he does look so big and strong, just like his daddy, and he better not forget to sharpen his wings every day and let his boss-lady polish him and--even when Leon gently removes the gear from her.

He looks at Lightning for a moment, guessing at what she's feeling right then--he'd probably feel the same. ]

Don't worry about it.

[Snow'll just keep on chirping, yes mother, he'll sharpen his wings and let boss-lady give him nice polishings and--even as Leon replaces his mother on-screen, he'll be chirping. She can hear him, he's sure of it!

Yep, that's a shrug. A little late for worrying about it. This place has changed her, for sure. Used to be she'd plan for every possible outcome. Including eggs hatching in the middle of the night.]

Yours ever wake you up like this?

[Perhaps in some sort of horrible payback for hugging her all the time Squishy turns on Vanille's Pokegear just in time for the shrieking] A-Ah!

[After scrambling around in her bed to find the source of the sound she blinks, sitting up and notices her gear is on. FFFF]... Lightning? What was [she yawns] that?

[Video]

[soggypastry]

[Ah, crap. Not someone she wanted to wake up.]

Just a new addition to my team. Go back to sleep, Vanille.

Re: [Video]

[notjustsunshine]

Weeeell, I'm already awake so could you show me it? Your new Pokemon! [Yeah she's bright eyed and bushy tailed now, enjoy.]

[Video]

[soggypastry]

[Well. That's just...great. Anyway, the feed'll shift to show one of these tilting his head up at the camera and chirping a greeting. Yeeeeep. Thing will pack a punch when he gets older.]

His name is Snow.

[airwinged]

So... I've got a Snow, and you've got another Snow. Wont that get confusing?

[soggypastry]

[Shrug.] Snow the bird and Snow the bear. [And Snow the Idiot if he ever shows up again.]

[airwinged]

All we need is the real Snow right now.

[soggypastry]

[Oh, if only. Serah would be happy to see him, at least.] I still plan to break his nose if he ever shows up again.

[used_slackoff]

Running off without us, soldier?

[soggypastry]

Serah and Hope both showed up over the weekend. I wasn't going to wait around any longer than I had to to go get them. [And, frankly, she doesn't think you can keep up with her military-march to Cherrygrove, Ms. Muffin Top.]

[Video]

[used_slackoff]

[sdddfji-- she's out of shape, not incompetent.]

Coulda at least gave a bit of a warning, mm?

[Video]

[soggypastry]

[Her competence was never in question. Just her ability to keep up with a woman on horseback.]

If you were awake when I left, I'd have told you. But both you and Vanille were sound asleep. [And weapon or not, she's not waking you up.]

[ Xion, who was just about to drift off into dreamland, snaps her eyes wide open at the sound, and Axel, who was curled beside her head, jumps, flames coming to life on his back. Xion turns to the Gear and picks it up, staring in confusion at it, while calming Axel down. ]

What was that noise?

[Video]

[soggypastry]

[Hello, Xion! Have one of these staring at you while Lightning attempts to get him under control.]

Someone deciding he didn't like his new trainer sleeping.

[Video]

[ordalias]

[ Xion blinks back at it. ]

Oh! He looks like the one Leon has...

[Video]

[soggypastry]

[That's a chirp of greeting. Hello, person he cannot smell or peck. Nice to meet you!]

That would be because the one Leon has is his mother. He hatched from an egg Leon gave me.
