video; now that i'm better

[releaf]

[Leaf definitely, most definitely, had steeled herself for the day. She had peeked around the realms; she had studied her dragonfly buddy; and she had spent a lot of nights just wanting to go home already. But since that obviously wasn't going to happen - and she'd been informed so - it was just... time to suck it up and talk to people, even if she might be bothering them!!

She's visiting Colossus today, and the keenest observers will notice she's broadcasting from in front of a Spring Powerup. Okay, Leaf.

Okay!]

I'm a little hungry. [Three different shades of red here; that isn't how she meant to start out at all!] Um-- wait, um, what I mean was -- are there... what would you suggest is the best place to get some food? I already went to, um, Idol Springs before, but the fish there didn't really settle well with me...

[Guess who ate the red ones. And guess who's stepping back, despite the fact the image'll move with her since it's with the orb; she's just used to shrinking back --

oh, but there she goes. Orb tumbling out of her hand as she rockets right up past a wall.

... Was that a panty shot.]

[ooc: Leaf'll be back down to her orb in time to reply! Please... Please don't comment on her embarrassing panty shot that may or may not have happened within the last three seconds of the feed.]

Comments

[almostthebest]

-- Leaf? ((He's about to answer normally, but her shooting away from the orb is cause for concern. No mentioning the panty shot, promise.)) Leaf, are you okay?

[releaf]

[A blessing upon your household, Green Oak.]

I'm here! I'm-- I'm okay. [She's. She's scared shitless of going anywhere near the power-up gate, but she's okay. She looks pretty worn out from running back to actually... get her orb. It's important, right? Bad if she loses it.

(She's gonna lose it and it's not the orb she's gonna lose ahhh why does she seem to have such bad luck all the time. Why couldn't it have stayed in Kanto.)]

...I-I think. I don't think anything's hurt [except her dignity] s-so...

[almostthebest]

((Yeah, damn straight. Blessings on him.))

Are you sure? Do you need me to get over there? No scrapes or anything? ((He doesn't realize how overprotective he sounds until he's already on his feet - and by then it's too late.)) Where are you?

[releaf]

[Slow down!!!]

I'm fine, Mom. [...Okay she really can't help giggling. Sorry Mom Green.] I'm, um, I'm just at Colossus. I wanted to check it out.

[almostthebest]

((Look at this scowl.)) I'm just concerned. Thanks. Maybe you should leave the exploring to-- ((He pauses, then continues on a slightly different track.)) You probably shouldn't eat just anything you see.

((Obviously Green's diet of whatever barely edible substances he can find in Hurricos is optimal.))

[video]

[palletspride]

What color of fish did you eat? Because the red ones make you sick...

[... He may or may not know that from experience, too.]

[video]

[releaf]

[...That makes sense. Leaf nods -- wait, maybe he won't understand from that. Um, uh.]

I had red ones. But they're like, um, Magikarp. There's nothing on them and they're awful.

[Her Gyarados would agree, if she were out.]

[video]

[palletspride]

Yeah, I... I kind of learned that myself when I first showed up. The blue and yellow fish are better. Sunny Beach is a pretty good place to get food, too. Fish, fruit... seaweed, if you eat that.

[video]

[releaf]

Um... Does anywhere have rice? [It's easy to cook, and, well. Leaf sits down and lays the orb in her lap, so she can lean her elbow on it.] Then I could take the things from Sunny Beach and, uh... make something even nicer than just putting it over a fire, or something...

[video]

[palletspride]

Yeah, the place you're at now. I think there's rice, tofu and vegetables available there. You'd have to talk to the monks, though.

[Video]

[classytantrums]

[...What.

That was a panty shot. Okay then.

But Xep has more important things on his mind.]

Find me a way to kill these dragonflies and I'll be happy to hunt for you.

[Video]

[releaf]

[Leaf is both thankful no one's commented on what she worries thinks she might've given and surprised. B-but that's just as good. She was already stupid, she didn't...

Leaf tosses her newly gotten back orb with a shriek. Sorry, Xep; you just look scary to her. Not human at all. She's not used to it.]

[Video]

[classytantrums]

What are you-

[Oh.

He quickly pulls a discarded shirt over his orb (for lack of the knowledge on how to shut it off), shifts into a more humanoid form and goes about getting his clothes on.

...The horns are still there, though. As are the ears.]

Stop whining, I've got no reason to hurt humans I don't know at least until I have a way back home. I'm willing to make deals with you, at least. [And it takes until now for him to casually put his shirt back on.]

[Video]

[releaf]

[He just-- Leaf inches back over to it and picks it up. Um, um...]

S-Sorry. Um... If you don't mind me asking, why do you want to kill the dragonflies? [They seem cute to her. And friendly.]

[Video]

[classytantrums]

Because they're annoying, do I need any other reason?

[Cute things are usually evil. Or at least more trouble than they're worth. Having a little sister has taught him this.]

[video]

[markedviolin]

[... That.... that... what...???

Right, onto the more important thing: ]

... A-are you okay, miss?

[video]

[releaf]

[She is touched by everyone's concern, really. It's almost enough to make her... no, she won't cry. It's just common courtesy!]

Um... Mmhmm. I... [Marie's the first girl she's gotten a reply from, so she's just going to ask her!] N-Nothing embarrassing happened, r-right? I-I know I dropped the orb when I got sprung up...

[She is very much hoping nothing happened. She doesn't need her innocent food question to be tainted.]

[video]

[markedviolin]

... Well... [She cringes a little.] There was a brief view of your underwear--it was only a few seconds, but...

... I think the people here are polite enough to not mention it.

[video]

[releaf]

[Leaf tugs her hat over her face and makes a noise that sounds a lot like noooooo. Just give her a moment; she'll be back.

...And when she's done feeling mortified, she'll nod.] Then we can just pretend it didn't happen, right?

[video]

[markedviolin]

Sounds reasonable enough. Especially if people haven't mentioned it.

Have you been here long?

[Video]

[warlord_of_aurora]

[That last bit rendered him speechless and his mind blanks out. Mostly because his mind came to a screeching halt with "I saw something I shouldn't have!!" It takes Pichu giving him a small spark to wake him back up.]

Are... Are you all right?

[Video]

[releaf]

[Act totally natural, Leaf! Totally! Things are fine! Nothing happened! No...thing...

If she keeps telling herself that she will definitely believe it.]

I was just, um-- I was just a little surprised. [No scrapes or bruises! ...Except on her dignity, but, uh. That's to be expected.] Um... Thank you for your concern though.

[Video]

[warlord_of_aurora]

That's good.

[Pichu and Eevee pop up from behind Enzan's shoulders, Pichu lifting one paw up in a wave. His dragonfly is perched on his head crest, just snoozing.]

[Video]

[releaf]

[She waves back -- Pokémon? Admittedly, Eevee's the only one she recognizes, but Pichu looks kind of like Pikachu...]

So you're an, um, a Pokémon Trainer too?

[Video]

[warlord_of_aurora]

Uh... No, I'm a warlord. I'm not familiar with the term "Trainer."

[But she did know about Pokemon and her clothes were outlandish, just like Red's.]
