4th book; in which things happen (and not all of them are good) {Text/Video/Action/Audio}

[bamfsecretary]

//TEXT, no filter

Natu and Skarmory eggs for sale. Four of Natu, four of Skarmory. Natu egg moves include Return and Steel Wing, Skarmory egg moves include Return and Fly. Both will take roughly nine days to hatch. Price on advance.

{Because it had to happen sooner or later. There isn't a Pokedaycare post up yet, that will go up in a while. Sherlock Holmes is also advised not to bother asking.}

//VIDEO, no filter, accidental

{Ah, what a lovely day it is just south of Violet! The breeze is blowing, the grass is rustling... And a herd of very ANGRY Mareep are staring down one very scared Natu. It is actually possible to hear the electricity crackling off them. Also visible in shot is Nanao, who seems to have just realised that three-quarters of her current team is weak to Electric-types.}

{That and she is going to have to make a heroic sacrifice if she doesn't want her tiny tennisball bird to become crispy fried. Guess which choice she makes.}

{There's a crackle of thunder and lightning, the bird goes flying in one direction (knocked out, but only partially crispy), and Nanao gets to experience what it's like when you're hit by ten Thunder Waves at once.}

{...someone might want to go help her.}

//AUDIO, six hours later, filtered to the Shinigami, Envy, Miguel, Tulio, Souji, Crow, Heather.

{She sounds hoarse and horrible. But at least she's speaking! ...or mumbling. Hooray for paralysis?} I think I'm going to leave Violet fairly soon. Got the badge and everything. Big city lights callin' my name an' everythin'.

...don' ever get paralysed. Sucks.

{OOC: The badge was mod approved!}

[It's not long after the video goes out that there's an Arcanine barreling through the Mareep, seemingly with no cares in the world that they may shock and paralyze her as well. That's because she doesn't care and is there to distract them while her trainer is just going to run over to Nanao and try to get her out of here, not even bothering to waste time speaking while they're still in the Mareep's line of fire.

Try to get her out being the operative phrase; he can't pick her up the way she picked him up after he got snakebit, so this may take some doing.]

[bamfsecretary]

{Uh yeah, good luck with that. All her muscles have locked up completely and so she is stuck in a really awkward position. She's also a complete dead weight.}

{Yep.}

{Being paralysed sucks. She can't even blink, let alone speak.}

[Action]

[freezetheskies]

[Complete dead weight? He laughs in the face of dead weight. Or rather, whistles for his Arcanine to come back as he releases Mizumaru to get help getting Nanao onto Hina's back. Because there's no way he can carry her like this. Nope. No way. And dragging is also out of the picture, so...mouthful of Arcanine fur for her it'll have to be, especially if they want to get out of here before the Mareep decide to crispy fry the rest of them.

And on the topic of crispy fried, Cassandra better peep soon, or she may just get left behind. Because Hitsugaya can't see her and the remaining six Mareep are drawing closer and closer, singed and not happy.]

What's a Natu and a Skarmory?

[text]

[bamfsecretary]

{ICly coming six hours later...}

Pardon me for not replying in video.

Natu and Skarmory are Pokemon. Natu are small birds, the size of an orange, and are Psychic/Flying types. Skarmory are much larger, with metal skin and bladed wings. They are Steel/Flying.

[video]

[machinamonkey]

It's fine!

[She pulls them up on her Dex]

Do they evolve?

[video]

[paladinlost]

[He would have left a comment about eggs, eggs everywhere, but. That video.]

...Nanao?

[AUDIO BECAUSE REASONS]

[bamfsecretary]

{And, six hours later...}

Hi, Cecil.

{That hideous croak sure was Nanao's voice.}

[4eva video]

[paladinlost]

[...Oh dear. He can't exactly ask if she's fine.]

Did the Mareep leave you alone after that?

[video]

[greatbigrock]

<sub>[YOU. CRAZY. WOMAN.]

[He wasn't watching the feed super attentively at first, admittedly, but once he recognised those sheep and added it to Nanao's usual ... "luck", well. He's got one of those sheep of his own, after all. He knows how much they can hurt.]

[So he's just cringing very empathically when he connects to the feed, sounding a little strained. PLEASE DON'T UH. BE VERY HURT.]</sub>

Hey, uh ... .. you okay?

[video]

[bamfsecretary]

{SIX HIDEOUS HOURS LATER... Tulio gets a video feed! And oh boy, does Nanao look like she's been through a meatgrinder.}

No' really.

[Video]

[youngforhisage]

...Are you going to be alright?

[Audio]

[bamfsecretary]

I'll get better.

...

It's a good thing Sheep-san has such a sweet temperament.

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

[...NANAO WHY.]

[Envy is definitely glad to get that second, filtered message, because at least she's awake. But...she's also not looking too good. He's frowning, looking frustrated because he's a city away and there's nothing he could actually do between seeing the first feed and now. And under that, there's the worry. Deadsis y u keep getting hurt?]

How bad is it?

[video]

[bamfsecretary]

{....she's not going to mince words with him. So, he gets a view of her propped up in a hospital bed, Hana curled around her. She looks pretty terrible.}

It's pretty bad. I... can't actually feel my legs.

[video]

[trailweblaze]

_{[You sure have a knack of getting yourself into... situations.]}

Are you alright?

[audio]

[bamfsecretary]

Well... I've been worse.

{That's one way to put it.}

[TEXT]

[determinator]

Natu are Flying and Psychic-types, correct?

[You can never have too many birds to perch on your shoulders! And you can never have too many birds that can read your mind, obviously!!]

[TEXT]

[bamfsecretary]

That is indeed correct. They are also roughly the size of a tennis ball.

{NEVER TOO MANY Crow must be rubbing off on her}

[TEXT]

[glaciates]

I'm interested in one of the Skarmory eggs. How much are they?

[TEXT]

[bamfsecretary]

P750.

Your name?

[video]

[darkenedgales]

[... OH GOD IS THERE A DAY WHEN YOU DON'T GET HURT

MOMMY WOMAN ;A;]

--Nanao! You okay?! [... Wow that is probably a dumb question.]

[audio]

[bamfsecretary]

{PROBABLY NOT}

{Also audio. For reasons.}

Not really, no. I think I know why Falkner hates electric types so much, now.

[conduit]

Nanao! Are you injured?! Yet again?! [ Rangiku's voice sounds surprised, and, very very very worried. Nanao! Please be okay! You're like a little sister to her! ]

{Audio}

[bamfsecretary]

{There's a rough sounding chuckle from the 'Gear.}

Seems my luck ran out again.
