fifth form; video/text/action for Violet City - 20/1

[bamfsecretary]

Nanao stood by the entrance to Sprout tower, breath steaming in the crisp air. Violet City was certainly more... traditional than Newbark and Cherrygrove in some ways, and so Nanao didn't feel too out of place, dressed as she was in her kimono. She'd been wearing it more than her shihakushou, that was true, but that was mainly because the linen shihakusou was simply not warm enough in this cold climate, whereas the multiple layers of the kimono were more than adequate to deal with the cold.

Sentarou peeked out from between the flaps of her haori, cradled against her trainer's chest, the little tadpole preferring to stay where it was warm, and squeaked, just loudly enough to get Nanao's attention. From where they were, they could see all of Violet City, from the gym, all the way down past the Pokemon Centre and on to the Inn - and it was a captivating view.

"Yes, yes, I know." Nanao could even see the pond where Hitsugaya-taichou had been unceremoniously nearly drowned by his evolving Golduck - and therein lay the problem. For some reason, she could not gather up the courage to walk down the hill, and meet her fellow Shinigami; for what reason, she didn't know, but it was the reason that she had taken up residence in the spartan environ of Sprout Tower, and had avoided all forms of contact for the last two days.

Now, though, it was time to break that fear, and march down there. She took in a deep, steadying breath, and set off.

"Here goes nothing." "Polii!"

[video] Henry can't find the text option. ._. AND HI NANAO I'm glad I can tag with you :D

[usedblankstare.livejournal.com]

Hello? Did you know that your 'Gear was on?

...I can't really remember most of the pokemon from the games, but I do remember once catching a Pidgey and evolving it. It got much stronger after that.

{text} but nanao is using text! ... for some reason and EEEEE silent hill hello!

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

...not again. It does this a lot.

...game.

..?

Pardon, but can you elaborate on that. Did you say this was a 'game'?


{{OHGOSH YES FINALLY SOMEONE CAN BREAK NANAO'S BRAIN MORE}}

[video] ...Huh, weeeeirdo. :D Hi~! I'm not really up-to-date with Bleach, but... Nanao! <3 ...OTLbrb

[usedblankstare.livejournal.com]

...Huh? Yeah, if I can remember correctly, there was a game like this back in the late nineties. It was for a handheld gaming platform... I can't recall the name of that, unfortunately.

But yeah. I think that they've expanded on it since those first games.

...You never knew about that?

{Video} She's sneaky like that C: and dhasjk yes Nanao!

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

{She switched to video out of confusion}

A hand-held game? We're in a game?!

[video] <3333

[usedblankstare.livejournal.com]

_{[Henry's mildly surprised by her reaction.]}

Not...exactly, I don't think. It could be a simulation loosely based off of the games. Or we could all be dreaming.

_{[Shrug. What do?]}

{Video}

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

{What do? Freeze up!}

...but it can't be. This is a completely different dimension.

Or so I believe.

[video]

[usedblankstare.livejournal.com]

Hn. Well, it may only seem the same... or my memory could be off.

Oh. I never properly introduced myself, did I? I'm Henry.

_{[LIKE HE NEEDS TO INTRODUCE HIMSELF TO YOU FFFFF]}

[Nanao may hesitate to cross those bridges, but Hitsugaya can't afford to hesitate in fear. So he just doesn't look down at the water as he walks, Hyourinmaru the Dratini curled around his neck like a scarf.]

Is there a reason you didn't let Matsumoto or I know you'd arrived in town, Ise?

{Action}

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

{OSHI--!! Wellp, time to face the music. Sentarou the Poliwag squeaked cheerfully up at Hyourinmaru the Dratini, from where she was somewhat ensconced in Nanao's bosom}

I - uh. No, Captain, not one that you'd accept.

{Apart from her mun being laaazy and forgetful}

I apologise.

{Action}

[freezetheskies.livejournal.com]

[Hyourinmaru blinks then seems to purr down at Sentarou. Hello there, little tadpole. Though Nanaos reaction earns her a raised eyebrow and a decidely stern look. But his tone is even as he speaks, and not at all harsh.]

Try me.

{Action}

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

{But how does you purr without a mouth - the tadpole seemed to say. She weathers that stern look; for instance, Shigekuni-sama is much more terrifying.}

The truth is, Captain, I'm not even sure myself. I think I was scared, that you wouldn't be real or -

{She reaches out to him, but stops short of pressing her hand to his chest, right where his heart is.}

{Action}

[freezetheskies.livejournal.com]

[It is called a throat, young creature. You have one, too. Hitsugaya, meanwhile, pauses before his eyes soften a little. He...understands, really.]

I'm harder to kill than you'd think, you know. Whether or not I have my powers.

{Action}

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

{Are you sure? I though I was just a squishy see-throw moeblob! Meanwhile, Nanao's hand is hovering just centimetres away from his chest, still.}

I know... We're all a lot harder to kill than people think. And I guess that here, powers don't come into the equation.

{Her expression's fallen - a memory of a less-pleasant time, perhaps. And, oh, screw it, she thinks, and presses her hand flat to his chest.}

Those owl things. They're pretty calm and also smart.

Also I guess Butterfree is technically Flying? I have one and he's pretty damn strong.

{Text}

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

Owl things? Oh, Hoothoot! I see... Are they capable of carrying someone?

Butterfree... That's evolved, yes?

{Text}

[foolishwren]

... --er.

_{[Glancing at the Noctowl perched on the end of her bed.]}

... They're pretty big, but... no, I don't think they could carry somebody. A small child, maybe.

Neither can Butterfree, now that I think of it. It is evolved though.

{Text} heather's icon. FFFF

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

... I see.

A pity then, that I am not smaller. {NANAO WHAT U SAY.}

Drat. I suppose, then, that I'll be going with another type of Flying type... although, doesn't Hoothoot and it's evolution have the ability to hit ghosts?

{Text} that is her HOLY CHRIST face

[foolishwren]

... They do?

_{[YES THEY DO, but that's the first Heather's heard of it!]}

{Text} It's BEAUTY.

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

Yes, by use of the move 'Foresight'.

...you've had one all this time and you didn't know?

{OF COURSE, and that reaction face is hilarious.}

[tarotcards]

Pidgeys are pretty good, especially when they evolve.

Skarmory as well, but I guess it's also Steel-type according to the Pokedex.

{Text}

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

I was tossing up between a Pidgey and a Spearow - mainly as a messenger bird.

And where would I get a Skamory? I think they live up near Blackthorn, or something...

[text]

[tarotcards]

They're both pretty good for battles too, at least from what I've seen from my friends'.

Yeah, they do but I have one that I started with. I could always try this breeding thing I heard of and give you one.

[He...He would just need to figure out how to do it. He does have a Ditto but...how does this even work...]

{Text}

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

That would be handy...

What - really? Oh, that would be so kind of you! I am actually a 'breeder', technically, so I could give you some hints... If you wanted.

And I would be happy to trade.

[text]

[tarotcards]

Yeah, that'll be great. I'm not too big on how to breed.

You don't have to offer much. It's just good enough that you're teaching me how to breed.

[And if she could see him texting, he smiled at that last part. Oh, and this post might interest you for a Skarmory!]

{Text}

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

I could loan you my copy of the Guide to Pokemon Breeding, if you liked...

Ok, then, where are you? I can send it to you if you're not too far away...

{Awww, Nanao, y u such a teacher here? AJDHD COMMENTING~!}
