four. ☆ ( video / action for violet city )

[uuing]

[ Good morning, Johto! While most of you might have been busy with intense stuff like digging and legendaries, one little girl is just sitting in the lobby of the Pokémon Center as if nothing special happened. The table in front of her is filled with paper in all sorts of colors and she's just cutting away at it and folding it to make all sorts of

[He is dirty. He is miserable. And he feels nauseous from the trip back home. He was about ready to collapse in the inn back in Violet City before he saw the feed.

Fuck resting and showering, there's a big bro bursting through the door.]

Maria, are you alright!?

[ action ]

[uuing]

[ She missed everyone who left for a few days too, Shinn. :(

Nonetheless, she's still crying and so it takes a few moments for her to notice him coming in. ]

Uu-uu-..! Shinn! [ Yeah, don't expect much more out of her between the sobbing at first. ]

[ action ]

[swordofimpulse]

[And he's going to hug her.

Even if he's a bit dirty and all.]

There, there, its alright now...

[ action ]

[uuing]

[ Well, a hug does calm her down. ... A little bit. She's still sniffling and rubs her eyes with one of her hands. ]

U-uu.. Shinn came back..?

[Action]

[Lion knew this was coming, but being in Olivine digging trenches and all, wasn't really able to avoid the inevitable ocean of sad uus coming.

Lion was all for showering, showering the pokémon and then resting, but of course cousins always take priority. So after seeing the video and analyzing the background, have a cousin walking up to Maria.]

Maria...

[Action]

[uuing]

[ She glances up from some crumbled up papers on the table when Lion comes in, still sniffling a bit. It had been a bit more quiet with most people in Olivine, but even with some people coming back here now.. ]

Lion.. ... Uu-.. That Beato promised Maria that she'd finally come and see Maria.. and come to our party, u-uu.. And now she won't come anymore for sure.

[Action] Oh god, the sad icons, I CAN'T DO THIS.

[isthedeadcat]

[Have a hug, Maria :(]

I know you are sad... I also wish she had stayed, and that we could have the party with everyone.

But Beatrice is your friend, right?

[Action] FIGHT ON, KAI.

[uuing]

[ Cousin hugs are the best.. even interdimensional ones. ]

All the Beatos are Maria's friends, but.. it's still sad if one leaves, right? Maria wants as many people as possible to come to the party, but everyone's leaving, uu-..

[pluckapetal]

Hey, little girl! Don't worry! I'm sure your friends will come back someday!

[uuing]

Will come back, uu-...? Really? But they all went home, right? [ A pout appears on her face. ]

[pluckapetal]

Oh yeah! I'm sure of it! Everyone comes back for a party!

[uuing]

The party will be re-ally big and fun, with lots of ice cream.. Do you really think they'd come back for that?

[Action]

[usednihihi]

Nyaaaaah, don't cry, Lady Maria...!!

[410, who had been standing by to hang up the decorations in higher perches as they were finished now rushes forward to drop to one knee before her, rifling a handkerchief out of her pocket to dab at Maria's face]

[Action]

[uuing]

[ Best bunny biffle! ]

U-uu-... Sorry.. Maria will smile again in a bit to let the [ sniff ] magic of happiness work again, but it's hard..

[Action]

[usednihihi]

[Its okay, Maria, she'll smile big enough for both of you]

Nyeh, lots of people will still come to Maria's party! Even if Lady Beatrice had to go home, she'd still want you to pretend she was there.

[she has to admit, though, all the witches systematically disappearing lately isn't especially encouraging]

[Action]

[uuing]

Uu, really think so..? Even though so many people are leaving, the party will still be really busy and lively?

[ Yeah, she looks a little bit unsure on that one. ]

[video]

[shieldofjustice]

[Well, crap. Athrun doesn't know how to approach this. But he feels he has to. After all, he knows exactly what it's like to lose someone extremely close to you.]

I know we don't know each other, but...it'll be all right. I've been through this same thing, too, so I know how you feel. You'll see them again, I'm sure of it!

[video]

[uuing]

Uu..

[ Have a bit of a curious stare back. She isn't crying anymore, but her eyes are still red and she's sniffling. ]

Did your friends leave too..? Uu-, poor kid..

[video]

[shieldofjustice]

Yeah. My best friend from back home -- the one person I'd trust with anything -- was here, but then he was taken away.

But I know I'll see him again. I'll make it happen if I have to.

[video]

[uuing]

Uu, that's sad.. Maria still has Sakutaro and Lion and everyone else, so shouldn't be sad.. Maria will.. try to smile, uu-.
