Eight Birds of Paradise Singing

"No, j-just calm down, Nanao, y-you probably just misdialed... 4-4-8-7-8-4-2-9-2. Dial."

"It'll g-get through. Redial."

"He c-can't have left. Redial."

"CAPTAIIIIIN!"

The 'Gear flew across the room and into the wall, ricocheting off the plaster and onto the floor. Ise Nanao, clad only in bra and panties, sank to the floor, and started sobbing, deep, wracking, and sorrowful as the feed times out.

{{ooc: Hitsugaya Toushirou has left Route, and Nanao isn't taking it well.}}

The camera clicks on to a view of Nanao in a rather different outfit to before - instead of the kimono or black shihakushou, she's wearing green tracksuit pants, and a navy vest. She's also leaning over a bed, and her back obscures whatever is resting on it.

"Shh, shh, you'll be alright." She sounds exhausted, and her trousers are damp and dirty. The camera moves, going around to the other side of the bed.

Curled up on what looks to be Nanao's jacket with a miniature oxygen mask on it's small snout and an IV line is the tiniest Charmander you've ever seen. Breath rattles unsteadily in and out of it's chest, and the tail flame, which should be bright and orangey-red is instead a mere flicker of what it should be. Nanao brushes a single finger over it's head lovingly, slowly.

"Skaaa..." The sound comes from a small Skarmory, perched up on the pillow. Nanao turns to look at it, and gives it a gentle pat. Her face has a few smears of mud on it, and some suspicious tracks that might have been made by tears.

"I know, Jyuu. All we can do now is hope that Renji is strong enough to pull through this." Her voice cracks, and she bites her lip, eyes glimmering overbright behind her glasses. Behind the camera, there comes a deep "Kadaaa", and a large three fingered hand reaches across the bed to squeeze Nanao's shoulder. Her own hand reaches up to squeeze it, and the feed times out to the view of Nanao's Pokemon clustering close around her.
