twenty-fifth form; Happy Tanabata + Git Yer Eggs Here~! {Video/Action for Ecruteak} (dated 07/07)

 {When the feed clicks on, it's obviously been done by accident, as the first thing you'll see is a shot of Nanao's face - but she has a thick strip of cloth across her eyes as a blindfold, and she's talking to herself.}

Well, at least the nausea's gone. And the headache's receded to a tolerable level. And I can mostly remember things. {She grimaces.} It's a pity my balance is still off, but at least that's not as bad as the light sensitivity. I really don't like that.

{She shifts about, and cocks her head to the side, listening to the sounds of the crowded streets, and she frowns a little.} I wonder what's going on... Well, no better time to ask.

Excuse me! {She calls out into the street, and miraculously, some poor man with blonde hair and a lovely purple yukata responds. Those who've faced the Ecruteak Gym might know him - it's the gym leader, Morty.}
 
Yes, ma'am, can I help you?
 
Thank you. Ah, I was wondering, what is the occasion today? There is so much hubbub, and since, well... {She gestures to her face, and smiles.}
 
No, that's no problem. Today is Tanabata - we always have a few street vendors out on this day. 
 
R-really? Well, thank you, sir. {Her surprised expression melts into a kind smile.} May your wish come true.

And yours, ma'am. Good day.
 
Good day, sir. {He bows politely, she does too out of instinct, and he wanders off, and Nanao is left alone, sitting on the verandah of the Inn.}
 
Tanabata already..? Well now, that's a surprise. Another year has passed, and I've survived it.... just. {She raises a hand to her mouth, and chokes back a sob.} T-to think.... N-no. I'm not going back there. I'm stronger than that.

{She sniffs, straightens her spine, and brushes down the lap of her pale blue yukata.}
I'm one hundred and thirty-seven today. I think that I shall enjoy my birthday this year, instead of hiding inside.
 
{She stands gingerly, reaching out a hand to the nearby wall of the Inn for support. Slowly, moving one foot at a time, she makes it back to her darkened room, the door thumps gently against something. Frowning, she slips inside, and removes the blindfold, letting her eyes adjust. And then she gasps.}
 
I - I - what. How did this - how are there so many - ? {She is, of course, talking about eggs, which are all over the room. Her Alakazam and Furret freeze, in the middle of putting an egg onto the bed.} I - I don't even know. Wow. Um.
 
What a birthday present. {Annnd the feed finally times out.}
 
 
 
{{OOC: For those that claimed eggs here, this is the place to ICly collect them! Video replies will come while she's still in her room, but she'll be wandering the streets with her blindfold, staff and seeing-eye-Riolu later on if that works for you, or she can just be. Hanging around the Inn some more. And, last but not least, HAPPY TANABATA, GUYS!}}

... That is one heck of an eggsplosion. [Yes, he knows he used a corny pun there.]

That it is.

And I have to rehome them all, too.

[identity profile] souljudgment.livejournal.com 2011-07-12 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
Need a volunteer? I wouldn't mind keeping a new egg.

[identity profile] used-glare.livejournal.com 2011-07-22 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
Would you? Oh, thank you, ah....

Pardon, but I don't think I caught your name.

[video]

[identity profile] souljudgment.livejournal.com 2011-07-26 09:56 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Err, sorry about that, it's Ted.

And I don't mind at all. I'm kind of fond of these guys anyway.

[video]

[identity profile] used-glare.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, Ted.

That's wonderful! And did you have any preferences to which one you wanted?

[video]

[identity profile] souljudgment.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 09:24 am (UTC)(link)
Same to you as well.

Which ones do you have? [He peers curiously, mostly because he can't tell which egg is which yet.]

[video]

[identity profile] used-glare.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 10:40 am (UTC)(link)
Well. Dratini, Skarmory, Bulbasaur, Charmander, Sentret, Houndour, Ralts, Lapras, Drifloon, Abra, Lunatone, Poliwag, and Psyduck.

Or, in other words, plenty.

[video]

[identity profile] souljudgment.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 11:18 am (UTC)(link)
That's definitely a lot.

Hrmm... How about the Bulbasaur, then? I don't think I have any Grass types with me.

[video]

[identity profile] used-glare.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 11:25 am (UTC)(link)
Bulbasaur it is! They're definitely good Pokemon, though. Very loyal.

[video]

[identity profile] souljudgment.livejournal.com 2011-08-01 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Speaking from experience? [He sounds amused.] Hopefully he'll fit right in with the rest of the pokémon, though they are pretty welcoming.

[video]

[identity profile] used-glare.livejournal.com 2011-08-01 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
Indeed I am. If you make sure that it socialises from a young age, you won't find a better Pokemon.

[Video] I thought I responded already... ;-;

[identity profile] oxidegreen.livejournal.com 2011-07-09 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
One hundred... thirty-seven?

[Video] a-aww, bb, it's okay ;u;

[identity profile] used-glare.livejournal.com 2011-07-11 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
Y-yes, I'm a bit older than I look, aren't I? {This is a laugh.} I can't complain, however.

[Video]

[identity profile] oxidegreen.livejournal.com 2011-07-11 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
...A little.

[And after a slight pause--]

Happy birthday.

[identity profile] yumahkyoko.livejournal.com 2011-07-14 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
... Happy birthday!!

[video]

[identity profile] used-glare.livejournal.com 2011-07-21 01:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you!

[identity profile] pastsanity.livejournal.com 2011-07-14 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
... How... How old did you just say....!?

[video]

[identity profile] used-glare.livejournal.com 2011-07-21 01:53 pm (UTC)(link)
One hundred and thirty-seven. Why, is there a problem?

[video]

[identity profile] pastsanity.livejournal.com 2011-08-17 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
... No... Not at all.

I forget how easily this place can change things.

[video]

[identity profile] used-glare.livejournal.com 2011-08-28 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, that's alright then.

{And you get a sober nod.} That is very true, both fortunately and unfortunately.

[video]

[identity profile] used-glare.livejournal.com 2011-08-29 12:52 pm (UTC)(link)
{She gestures to her head.} I am far more vulnerable to harm here than I was back in my proper dimension.

On the flip side, I have met more people here than I ever would have back there.

[video]

[identity profile] pastsanity.livejournal.com 2011-09-01 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
... I see.

[a nod] True, true. Something we can all appreciate.

[video]

[identity profile] used-glare.livejournal.com 2011-09-06 12:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Indeed.

May I ask your name, sir?
