Twenty-third Steal || Voice/Action

[yattagarasu]

[ There's a good reason why she's on voice right now. Several, really. Kay hasn't been sleeping much ever since she heard Minnie's post and has been hunting high and low over Goldenrod. All she's found is a Pokéball, though.

One other reason is what she has to say now to the entire network. Besides-- ]To whoever's friends with... this Minnie

[has been looking for HER actually, so she are getting a hug from behind as soon as he can get his hands on her.]

I know. None of us are.

[action]

[yattagarasu]

[ oh, so you mean right now-- ]

--! [ admittedly, that startled her, but once she's realizing it's Johan, she's relaxing just slightly. ]

I figured.

[action]

[overthedratini]

[in that case, he'll be pulling her on over.]

Good. Everything's going to be okay-- Okay? [not worried, really!] We'll find her, and he's going to be stopped. For real this time.

[action]

[yattagarasu]

I know. [ even if she's looking far more unsure about it than she usually would. ]

[ voice ]

[imthe_shit]

Hey.

What are the Pokemon he's got? [He's concerned, but he's very good at showing it.]

[ voice ]

[yattagarasu]

He's got an Electrode, a Feraligatr-- uh, which is some kind of giant blue gator thing, an Ariados, and a Zubat. Probably more than that now.

[ voice ]

[imthe_shit]

Minnie was lifted somewhere around where you are now?

[ voice ]

[yattagarasu]

It looked like it. That was definitely the Goldenrod area.

[text]

[itsybitsycrazy]

What a scary sounding individual. I'll be doing my best to stop him.

So what kind of Pokemon does he have?

[text]

[yattagarasu]

[ sorry, dude, you are not trolling her today. She's not answering without a video or voice to make sure it ISN'T him after prior harassment. ]

I'd have to see or hear you first, sorry.

[voice]

[itsybitsycrazy]

[The voice is now coming through somewhat muffled and even deeper! Having actual vocal chords and a knowledge of machines is oh so handy. It still might sound like him, or it might not-- It's up to you, Kay!]

Is this better?

[voice]

[yattagarasu]

[ if by better, you mean she's HANGING UP, oh yes.

Lower or not, that was the only voice she heard for a week. ]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

I'm coming to Goldenrod.

That's where she disappeared from, right?

[Heather... had kind of guessed it was probably the same guy, although she'd never seen or heard him (that SHE knew of, anyway).]

[... She doesn't comment on the things that he'd done to Kay, but there's a sort of tightness in her tone. It's not sadness. It's just anger. She knew all too well what it was like to be subjected to.... things. For a purpose or just for the sake of some twisted medical curiosity. And thinking about all the things mentioned being done to someone else... especially a bright, happy-go-lucky girl like Kay... it kind of made Heather want to hurt things. Badly.]

It pissed me the fuck off that we didn't get him last time, and I'd rather burn than see him get away with this again. [Odd choice of words, but... it got the effect across all right.] And Minnie's the last person who deserves ... that.

.....

[Deep sigh.] ... Are you gonna be okay?

[Voice]

[yattagarasu]

... Yeah.

[ whether she's responding to the first or second question remains to be seen, but Kay honestly does intend to be okay. One day. Right now, she's far from okay, she's livid and worried and not at all happy, but she's used to putting herself aside for as long as it takes. ]

If you want, I can send one of my Pokémon out to you to help you get here faster.

[Voice]

[foolishwren]

[... She'll go ahead and take it as a reply to both. No way something like this can keep Kay down for long. Heather might not have known the thief too well outside of their friendly interactions, but she'd survived the week in that disgusting cave and still come out able to smile. That said a lot about a person.]

No, you keep your guys. You'll probably need them. I've got some friends with me and I'll be keeping up the pace.

We won't be dawdling, don't worry.

[Voice]

[yattagarasu]

If it's you, I'm not worried at all. [ Heather is her fellow flood-braver and kid-rescuer, after all, not to mention being a fugitive and being a member of the rescue team just makes her cooler in Kay's eyes. She's pretty sure there's not a whole lot that could stop her when she got going. ]

[Voice]

[radiantxsmile]

[Originally she wanted to use the video function to talk, but decided against it. Maybe the one speaking will feel more comfortable if they talked over the audio option instead.]

Team Rocket? I've heard of people talking about them, but I always thought they only stole pokemon from other trainers. Not kidnap them.

[She thinks about the new information for a bit.]

Miss, are you...going to be all right doing this?

[Voice]

[yattagarasu]

I'm starting to think he's acting alone on this. I don't remember him making contact with anyone else when he had me.

[ you weren't also fully coherent, Kay. But after a long pause, she kind of forces a cheerier tone. ]

I'm not the one you need to worry about, and it takes a lot to keep me down for longer than an hour, so yeah, I'll be fine!

[Voice]

[radiantxsmile]

Let's all hope he is acting alone. It would be pretty bad if he had a group of people defending his headquaters!

[Aerith doesn't want to pry because what she said was enough to clue everything together.]

Don't force yourself too hard, miss. That's all I'm going to ask from you.

[She sighs a bit. Feeling better knowing how many people are willing to help her.]

I feel calmer knowing so many people are worried about her. She's very important person back in my world. The King would be thrilled to know how many people care about her.

[Voice]

[yattagarasu]

K--

Minnie Mouse is a queen?!

[ forget forcing herself, Kay is having a MY GOD moment. ]
