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

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?]}

[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?

{Video}

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

{What do? Freeze up!}

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

Or so I believe.

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]

[tarotcards]

Pidgeys are pretty good, especially when they evolve.

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

{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.

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...

{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.

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

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

Butterfree... That's evolved, yes?

{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.}

[Action}

[freezetheskies.livejournal.com]

[You breath with a part in your throat, didn't you know? At least, out of water.

Hitsugaya doesn't flinch out of surprise because he saw that coming, really. His heart is beating at a steady pace underneath her palm, not at all slowing or silent like she might have feared. Hyourinmaru also takes this opportunity to slither up her arm and onto her shoulder. Have a cooing Dratini by your ear, Nanao.]

They might not, but the events we experienced when we still had them have prepared us for many things.

{Video} ohdear god what gender is hyourinmaru

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

{Blubblubblub~! But I'm a ball, with little feet and a tail. So... maybe?

Nanao visibly relaxes, and a heavy sigh falls away from her. Also, that babby Dratiny will be getting the cuddling of it's life!}

This is true - and perhaps trials would be a better word for what I went through... Hello, are you Hyourinmaru?

{Video}male, same as his namesake seems to be in canon~ ...well. non-canon anime counts him as male.

[freezetheskies.livejournal.com]

[Ack, too much to think of. You make your own sounds, little water ball.

And the cuddles of his life won't take much, being that his trainer doesn't do cuddles. So that's one happy Dratini making happy little cooing and purring noises under your hands, Nanao.]

And yet, despite being human, you still survived them. That should be answer enough for any questions about our strength here. [Knowing look is knowing.]

{Video} sajksdahuik sdiasj he can breed with sentarou.

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

{Okaaay! And Sentarou will be cliiiimbiiiinggggg up her trainer's chest to get a good look at Hyourinmaru.

N'awwww, it's like a cat! but long, blue, and a dragon insteaaaad. So she will tickle under his chin and just generally keep snuggling him.
gasdfk adorbs mental images of this rn if I could draw it I wooould.}

I - This was back there, taichou. Although, surviving the horde of Sentrets wasn't easy. {Hitsugaya used KNOWING LOOK! Nanao FLINCHED!}

{Video} ....xDD oh, gosh.

[freezetheskies.livejournal.com]

[He'll just blink down at her, but he's still purring under Nanao's ministrations. Oh, yes...he so appreciates this.

As would I! But..../cannot draw...]

Easy or not, you managed. That's what matters, Ise. Nothing else does at this point. [Speaking from experience? Perhaps. And he'll have so much more to gain as time goes on.]

{Video} ...should this happen? :O

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

{What, does your owner not snuggle with you? And Nanao will keep up those ministrations as she begins to move (it's coooold)

hrrrng /not good at arting, better at writing}

Thank you, Captain. I just - need, sometimes, to hear that what I'm doing is right. {Ise can attest to the fact that time doesn't heal all wounds, but instead imparts a certain wisdom that can never be replaced.}

{Video} .....:} Perhaps when they are no longer babehs.

[freezetheskies.livejournal.com]

[Nuu, he snuggles with no one. But he does keep himself balanced as his trainer just watches. Said trainer will fall into step with Nanao if she leaves the bridges. Otherwise, he's staying put. But that is a nod.]

....I think we all do, at one point or another. [And some never heal. But the wisdom eases the ache, so it evens out eventually.]

{Video} that's a good idea :} asdhk soo kyuute *u*

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

{How rude! A good snuggle never did anyone any harm! Aaand Nanao might be stepping toward the end of the bridge.}

Especially when one does so much for one's division... I know that Matsumoto would rather be boozing and napping than completing paperwork. {In fact, there's one riiight down her back - but time (here in johto) has healed that ache. mostly.}

[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]}
