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

//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!}

_{[Well, at least he's not so much angry at her as the rest of the world?]}

This world is magic! Why not?

{...is his life a Simple Plan song?}

{/obscure reference to my teenagerhood}

Because my legs were already-- hruk.

{OW HER VOCAL CORDS.}

Because I nearly lost my legs to a Scyther attack.

_{[.. it just might be. HM. :Ia]

[He stares at her for a while, then just .. looks like he's suffering.]}

But wasn't that before you ... you know, came back?

_{["disappeared" is a banned word.]}

{I am laughing so hard IRL}

{is he a magical girl}

I... still have the scars. Not just from that, though, but from the, um, soul-stealing bugs too.

{She is fine with it being a banned word.}

_{[I AIM TO PLEASE also well no but sometimes he likes to dress like one I MEAN]

[He visibly cringes at the mention of the Shedinja, looking .. worried, concerned, and a bit at at a loss.]}

... I hate those things.

{DRAG SHOW DRAG SHOW}

{She wraps her arms around her shoulders.}

Me too. God, I hope I never have to see them again.

You and me both.

_{[He actually glances away, uncertainly.]}

... I thought they'd killed all of you.

{She actually visibly flinches at that, fear crossing her face.}

I... thought I'd died. Again.

Reliving those memories...

_{[He looks back, momentarily alarmed, then just like he has no idea what to say.]

[Because he doesn't.]}

I ... yeah.

I'm pretty glad they didn't get me.

_{[There are many, many things he wouldn't want to relive]}

I can tell.

{Memories roll through her mind, ones that she never could really forget no matter how much she tried.}

Thank you, though.

Th-

_{[He blinks at the screen.]}

For what?

For caring enough to come and make sure I was alright.

Heh, hey, no problem.

_{[Seems a little humbled at being thanked, though, but there's a small smile for it.]}

It seems that you're always coming to my rescue, you know.

{Shyly glancing at him.} People might start to talk.

_{[... um, yes, well. He does catch that shyness and he's still not sure what's appropriate here.]}

The literal rescues are far and few, though.

'Sides, people always talk.

{Nanao used MOE! Tulio is CONFUSED!}

Luckily for us, then. ....although I think Envy has you beaten in the numbers stakes.

About you and I? I certainly haven't heard anything yet.

_{[But thankfully not hurting self in confusion JUST yet!]}

You need to tone down the trouble. I'm serious.

_{[Almost as bad as Miguel is saying something, seriously.]}

No, just, in general.

Do people actually ... know?

{YET}

{also holding up her hands in defeat}

I'll do my best, sir.

{Snark snark snark.}

....Envy might know. Apart from that, I don't think so. Unless you told someone.

_{[HA that'll teach you. There's a surprisingly sincere small smile at the gesture and the 'sir', but then he reverts back into something more self-conscious.]}

I showed Miguel ... the letter, I mean.

_{[IS THAT OKAY he just ... really needed to talk to someone? ;;]}

{Well, uh. That reaction wasn't expected.}

I... oh. Well, um. {OH AWKWARD} I guess that's okay - I mean, you would have wanted to talk to someone about it, after all...

_{[Look also to be fair he was pretty damn sure she was never coming back EVER.]

[Still, he grimaces. A bit embarrassed, yeah.]}

He would've found out anyway.

_{[.. let's face it, he would've.]}

I doubt he'll let anyone else know, so ...

{hey hey she didn't think she was coming back either!!}

{And she'll just be rubbing at her arm a bit.}

I - I guess so, huh...

{It would be pretty hard not to, if she thinks about it.}

Well, that's a small mercy, I guess.

_{[A sigh.]}

He's my partner.

_{[Just ... defending him, okay? He doesn't regret showing him. And it wasn't a mistake doing so.]}

He's the most important person in your life.

{She gets it, man. She works with one half of a Heterosexual Life Pair, she knows it when she sees it.}

{Still, she doesn't quite understand why her heart hurts so much when she says those words.}

_{[He can't exactly deny that, can he? It's true. Still, he's done his fair share of womanizing and knows she'd rather hear a something else. Not that ... he wants to seduce her like he normally does the people he hook up with, but just. Wow. ... this is so difficult.]}

Well, yeah ... it was just him and me, back home.
