twenty-fourth form; waking up sore {Accidental Video/Action for Ecruteak Inn}

Alakazaaaam...

Kiyone gently runs a three-fingered hand over his unstirring mistress’ bandaged head, delicately trying to probe into her mind, but upon being blocked once again by a mysterious barrier, he sighs and gets up, wandering over to the window. Shinrai moves closer to Nanao’s unmoving form and squeaks as the elder Pokemon throws wide the curtains, letting beams of summer sunlight flood the room, gilding everything inside with a welcome warmth.

Ri? Rioluuuu.

Kiyone looks back over his shoulder at the baby ‘Mon, and smiles gently. It had not been an easy time for the youngest member of Nanao’s party, but the Riolu was nothing if not resilient. Even if he couldn’t walk. After Envy’s Pokemon had brought them into Ecruteak, Shinrai had tearfully explained what had happened to them, and to say they were unhappy was an understatement.

Aaaala. Kazam.

Shinrai smiled back, and threw his arms into the air, giggling. The noise woke Hanatarou, who had been curled up atop a nearby chair, and she stretched, before slithering off the chair and flowing like a furry river up onto the bed, and nuzzled the young Riolu, and he giggled again. Then he stopped, and cocked his head to the side.

Lu?

{There’s a deep, pained-sounding groan coming from somewhere to the left of the ‘Gear, and the sound of shifting sheets.}

wh-where am I.... s’too bright... {A whimper, more rustling sounds, and then a yelp, and a thud.}

O-owwwww.... {There’s a sob, and then the camera finally moves, and Nanao comes into view, far too pale, wrapped in bedsheets, and with bandages wrapped around her head.}

I - I feel sick...

{OOC: Nanao is awake! But she’s also suffering the side effects of a severe concussion, so any ‘Gear replies will be rather nonsensical. She’s in a room at the Ecruteak Inn, so if you’re in the building, feel free to have your characters drop by.}

_{[Oh. OH. He makes a small groany sound and rubs at his face.]}

Don't tell me you don't remember the bugs...

{Can you feel the face that she is pulling. It is a confused and vaguely concerned face.}

What bugs?

The only soul-stealing bugs around? With hole in their backs? Really creepy bugs?

_{[He's just going to grab her by the shoulders and move her back so he can LOOK AT HER. How can you forget something like that?]}

{LOOKING BACK and she is so confused.}

I have no idea of what you're talking about, Tulio! I've never heard of such a thing.

_{[... mouth slightly open for a moment here-]}

Well guess what? Me neither until I came to this place! You can ask anyone, they were everywhere. And that is what happened to you.

{Wait hey calm down asdfghj}

I believe you - but then why don't I remember them? What happened to me?!

You got your soul sucked out! And then you probably got stuck in nightmare-land just like the others!

_{[..Tulio calm down don't make her faint again]}

{What.}

Okay, no. Stop right there, and back track a little.

What happened to my soul.

{BOY YOU BEST WATCH YO STEP. This is canonical territory.}

_{[WELL HE DOESN'T KNOW THAT. ...but he is a little taken aback by her sudden intensity and falters for a moment, before he starts gesturing vaguely again.]}

Well I'm just assuming that's what happened to yours. Everyone else said they were trapped in a nightmare world or something while their souls were caged inside hollow insects.

{This is her serious face ~~let's hope she doesn't faint into his chest halfway through~~}

Let me get this straight. Some kind of bug - and it would have to be a Pokemon, wouldn't it - pulled my soul out of my body and into another plane.

That's completely ridiculous.

Oh don't you think I know that?! But this ENTIRE WORLD is ridiculous, so it's still true!

_{[He's just about pulling his hair at this point.]}

Just- I- ARGH- check that Gear of yours if you don't believe me, there are plenty of videos of the whole thing!

Fine, I will then!

{BRB, grabbing the 'Gear - why was it floating behind her ohwait Kiyone - and flicking it on to stare at the past week's feeds.}

{And her eyes go wider and wider, and all the colour drains out of her face.}

{Until she finally reaches her own feed.}

{The sound of her own screaming rises tinnily from the speakers, and she just stares dumbstruck at the screen, tears blurring her eyes.}

I - I don't...

{Good luck trying to get some sense back into her. And he's going to have to pry the 'Gear out of her hands because she doesn't know what to believe any more.}

_{[... good job, Tulio. Clearly you are the best at dealing with traumatized women. Maybe you should just stay out of this for good.]

[He groans and drags a hand over his face before he looks up at her and sort of ... gingerly touches her shoulder.]}

See, I told you.

{But who else is there?}

{She shakes her head slightly, and while she knows he's touching her, she doesn't show any sign of leaning into the touch, or leaning away, for that matter. She runs a thumb over the screen, muting it as the replies scroll past.}

...how did I end up here?

I don't know. I guess someone helped you.

_{[He looks a little troubled - because SHE clearly is - but he DID notice that there's likely something else to this than just the general terror of what the hell sould-stealing bugs, so he regards her with a frown. .... as he always does.]}

But who?

{She brings the audio up again just as this happens (http://used-glare.livejournal.com/8882.html?thread=274098#t274098). She starts a little at Envy's voice, but she stares at it until the thread ends, and she turns it off.}

. . .

You know, that's the second time he's saved my life. {She sounds... proud?}

Really?

_{[He's a bit taken aback by that, actually - that's more than he knew, and he looks a little curious.]}

Yes - back in February he found me lying unconscious and unbreathing in a snowbank and took me in to the Pokemon Center.

{She smiles fondly at the 'Gear.}

I suppose I owe him two life debts now.

... Snow, yeah? God, I hate that stuff.

_{[It comes out a little soft, perhaps, but he doesn't really know what else to say. He's not a hero; he's got no comment.]}

I'd never seen so much snow before I came here - back home, we had this sort of barrier around our district, I suppose you'd say, and it kept the worst of it away. I guess I was unprepared, which isn't that much of a surprise, somehow. I never was one for field exercises.

{A soft 'hah' escapes her; it could be a sigh, it could be a laugh.}

Sometimes I wonder how I made Lieutenant with such little experience.

Edited 2011-10-15 14:01 (UTC)

What does that mean, anyway? "Lieutenant"?

_{[He remembers she introduced herself with it waaay back then, but he didn't get it then, still doesn't get it now.]}

It's a military rank - it means I'm the second-in-command of a Division of soldiers. Although with the amount of work that I put in, it usually feels like I'm the one in charge...

{Or something like that. ~~Kubo, y u no use normal military terminology?!~~}

_{[sfhsj OH.]

[He visibly tenses - you're - a soldier, that's great. That's the rank above guards, those people he's been running from his entire life. He tries to play it cool, though ...]}

You're ... a soldier? _{I didn't know that.}

{She sees you tensing there. She sees it.}

If a Shinigami can be called a soldier, then yes. But we don't exactly have what you would term normal soldierly duties.
