one ☹ video (action for new bark town)

[utterlyupbeat]

[the feed flickers on to show a very... unhappy-looking child gazing down at the gear. by contrast, his rather excited!! looking poochyena seems to be watching the screen with great interest.]Uhm. Okay. I have a lot of questions. And I think I've been kidnapped, but I can't find the number for 911 on this

[usedrawr]

. . . Isn't 911 a number all by itself? How do you get a number of a number?

[because that's totally the important thing.]

[utterlyupbeat]

. . .

Are you a talking bear?

[usedrawr]

[topic derailed.]

Indeed I am! I'm Teddie!

[utterlyupbeat]

[pressing questions had to be asked!]

Like . . . a teddy bear.

[masomaso]

911?

[what. what can a bunch of digits do to help unkidnap people.]

text

[utterlyupbeat]

[... is that a girl. a girl with really weird hair and a really weird outfit. is she a super hero? ... can super heroes even get kidnapped?

...

just switching to text.]

It's the number for the police ... Where I come from.

[an awkward pause, before he adds:]

It varies depending on the place.

[masomaso]

[... text... she doesn't really like text much so she'll be remaining with video.]

Oh, I see. They have something similar like that back at where I'm from too, I guess.

[utterlyupbeat]

[it's okay, at least now she won't have to see him covering up the screen. or his red face. or how hard he has to think to make his text replies sound a lot less awkward than his thoughts do. there's still a bit of a lag between her response and his reply in text, though.]

It doesn't look like they can help here, though.

[usedsketch]

[ Okay so there's a scruffy old hipster in a trench coat

trying not to look too amused

failing miserably ]

Well, I'm an adult, but I don't know how much I can help you out. There's no way home from here.

[utterlyupbeat]

[he sees that!! and looking ... half-embarrassed and half-bothered by it.]

... Usually an adult would know what to do.

[usedsketch]

[ It's quickly softened by pity, but the man's voice doesn't reflect that. ]

Not when the adults have been kidnapped too. Sorry, but we all gotta work together on this.

[utterlyupbeat]

Work together . . .

[travelsbywater]

[Yuuri just so happened to be passing by when he heard someone talking. So, when Sergio finishes speaking, Yuuri will be walking on up to him.]

Hey, what's that book? I didn't get one like that...

[utterlyupbeat]

[looking up, blinking. he quickly appraises yuuri before looking back down at the book.]

. . . It's about, um... Pokémon breeding, it says.

[travelsbywater]

[He looks at the book for a few seconds before pointing at it.]

Can I see it? [After all, he's always wondered how pokémon lay eggs. That is, if that's what they even do.]

[utterlyupbeat]

If you want.

[holding out the book for yuuri to take! and poochyena, seeing that this person isn't a threat, starts to sniff at the other boy, tail wagging.]

[video]

[complexrestart]

Mii... I don't think 911 is going to help you very much here.

text

[utterlyupbeat]

[using the skill he has honed his last three encounters with the phenomena known as girls replying to his broadcast, his startled blushing graces the screen for only a few moments as he quickly switches over to text in order to mask his awkwardness.]

That's... what I've been told.

text

[complexrestart]

[She lets out a surprised "Mii!" at the sudden change before switching to text herself.]

Unfortunately, you won't be able to leave on your own.

If you have any questions, I would be happy to answer them. ♪(*^ ・^)ノ⌒☆

[utterlyupbeat]

[he does realize his sudden shifts to text are ... well, sudden, but if he were able to muster enough coherency for an apology he wouldn't use text to begin with. there is a pause before he replies;]

I've been told about places to stay, and that I need to battle... But am I supposed to travel on foot? Alone? Is that safe, here?
