Eight Birds of Paradise Singing

( Action for Room 304 )

{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.}

{When the camera flicks on, it's at an odd angle, and the face of a baby Houndour fills the screen. Once it realises that it managed to activate the video function, it wuffs quietly, and picks up the camera. Upside down.

When it puts it down again, however, the viewers are treated to a view of a clearing, filled with spring blossoms and soft looking tussocks of grass. A makeshift shelter is just visible in the corner of the screen, however, what catches the attention of anyone looking at the feed is right in the centre of the screen.

There's a woman in white sitting by a stream, with a baby Lapras on her lap. Long black hair flows down her back, and around her are clustered a motley collection of other Pokemon; a Furret, Charmeleon, Happiny, and a Riolu, all slumped in the grass, like some strange collection of statues.

A breeze catches the hair of the woman, and as it flutters, her face becomes clear - it's Ise Nanao. She's obviously found sanctuary in Ilex Forest, but those radio waves must have found her, and her little Lapras, yet the Lapras seems to be sleeping... or fainted.}

I'm so sorry, Hana, but... it is for the best. At least that strange sound cannot affect you now.

{The Houndour puppy whines unhappily, and yelps. For those that can understand Pokemon, it's something along the lines of 'Can you help mama? She's sad, and I don't like that.' Unfortunately, the noise attracts the attention of the Charmeleon, and it lumbers over to the 'Gear. The puppy growls, and backs away, hackles up, ears down, tail between his legs.}

Renji, don't. Just bring the 'Gear and Shuuhei over here, please. {Renji rumbles, but leans down, and scoops up Shuuhei in one clawed paw, before, picking the 'Gear up with the other. He deposits the pup at her knees, and hands the 'Gear back to Nanao. When she sees the 'Gear is on, she gasps, and fumbles for the off switch.}

Bad Houndour! You know we're in hiding! I'd rather not be jailed, thanks. {And the feed finally clicks off there.}

{ooc: Nanao is stuck in Ilex Forest, which is very much not fun for her, especially now that her Lapras has made itself faint. Feel free to tag, but they will probably be by text, unless you're a canonmate or close CR.}
