9th book; father's day {video/action for Goldenrod}

//video; warning for mentions of death

{When the feed clicks on, it's not immediately obvious what's happening - indeed, the scene is almost preternaturally still. A little girl with black hair slowly tiptoes across the floor towards an armchair, head cocked to the side curiously. The camera moves to follow her, and in doing so, reveals the occupant of the armchair.}

Hello, Isis. {Nanao looks old, sitting still as a statue - the Fisher King, if you would, ensconced forever on her throne. The little girl - Isis - clambers up onto her lap, burying her head beneath Nanao's chin, and whines unhappily.}

You have not been yourself, mistress. {An unfamiliar voice, wispy and thin floats out of nowhere, at least until Kiyone, her first starter and Alakazam moves forward into the picture.} What ails you?

You have my memories, do you not? {Isis curls and shifts so she too can look at the powerful Psychic - her eyes, only just visible, are the same shade of purple as Nanao's own.} That is correct.

Then I would suggest you peruse them with today's date in mind, Kiyone. {Her voice is tinged with bitterness and pain, and her arms come to hold Isis close to her chest.}

{The Alakazam is quiet for a long time, sitting cross-legged in mid-air, running through a century and a half's worth of days dated June 18.}


....I am sorry that I did not make the connection straight away, mistress. I should have checked myself. {Nanao shakes her head, and moves to stand, startling Isis, who transforms back into a Zorua. Neither the human nor the Alakazam pay this any notice.}

It is not your fault - I am just being exceptionally maudlin over events that have happened a long, long time ago. {She crosses to the window, Zorua cradled close.} By all rights, I should have forgotten....

One does not forget death easily. Especially not one's own. {Kiyone's hand closes over the 'Gear quietly, shutting it off with a flick of his claw.}

//action; Goldenrod

{In the afternoon, one might see Nanao and her considerable amount of Pokemon gracing one of Goldenrod's larger parks - the Pokemon are playing, yes, but they seem to be keeping closer to Nanao than usual. That said, they certainly will allow you to talk to her, if you so choose.}

{OOC: Kiyone is actually speaking English here - yes, he is now able to freak people out without telepathy. Yay? EDIT: PLEASE GO AND READ THIS FAQ, it is very important and deals with talking Pokemon! Kiyone has had over a year of practice to learn how to do this properly.}

Well, but if it's something you'd rather not speak of, I wouldn't want to pry.

[Envy's frown deepens, a little. He doesn't like seeing her like this, and there's not as much that he can do to help from over the video screen and in another town.]

Maybe there's something else you can do, like training.

['Or breaking things' is the unspoken addition. HE DOESN'T KNOW but violence always makes him feel better so maybe it would help her...]

[His hair is strange? Well, that's not the worst he's gotten, so he'll just stay where he is and try to figure out exactly what it is you're doing. Or, you know, that's what he'll do once his heart has stopped pounding. By all that is holy, Kiyone! Don't sneak up on a guy like that!]

...You should make some sort of noise before you speak. You'll startle people enough as it is.

[He simply stands calmly and watches the Munna, laughing a little.]

What's shakin', little Poke?

[That would normally be a hilarious image, but Hitsugaya's attention is fully on Nanao as he stands back up. What do? Huh....he's not quite sure!]

That's what most people would say about teaching him to actually talk. It seems like you managed that.

[He has faith in you, Momthing. ...and concern for you, which shows on his face as he steps a little closer. He's not gonna ask if you're okay because that's a really stupid question at this point, but still.]

[He shrugs - he can't really blame her. He wouldn't have told her, he's pretty sure. He hasn't told her several things, after all.]

No, I mean, that's fine. It's pretty personal.

I guess you didn't really mean for everyone to hear either, right?

[personal profile] pianokeys 2012-06-22 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
We~ll, that would explain the curiosity.

I should probably let out the little fellas. [He unclips some of the balls off of his belt, unleashing them all. One after the other, his Vileplume, Gloom, newly-evolved Dragonair and the little baby Joltik.] Though, Snapdragon isn't too little anymore.

It's Honey's first time too. [The tiny little spider crawls up to his leg and begins to climb, obviously nervous. It falls off pretty quickly though and has to be picked up by the Other Father.]

*blinks a bit at that reaction, himself; what kind of people do you even know that basic courtesy is such a surprise....*

Ah, I take it a lot of people have been inquiring, then?
dreamsofahero: (glancing up)

[personal profile] dreamsofahero 2012-06-28 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Well, curious is certainly quite understandable, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's appropriate to press for details.

*read: now you've got HIM curious, but he has enough self-control not to ask when it's clearly a bad time and he has no qualms about finding things out through less direct means if he needs to, anyway*
dreamsofahero: (cheerful)

[personal profile] dreamsofahero 2012-06-28 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
You're quite welcome.

*oh, give him time. :) assuming he decides it's worthwhile looking into, of course*
