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.]

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]

[releaf]

[That's not so bad. They're a little weird, but they've been really nice to her.]

That won't be so bad I think. I'll just have to make sure I don't do it when they're meditating... I'd feel bad for interrupting them just to get some ingredients.

[video]

[palletspride]

A lot of the locals here are pretty nice.

... by the way... have you found anywhere to stay yet?

[video]

[releaf]

Not really. I've tried, but I miss home and I can't sleep with my Pokémon because they scare the locals.

[All of them. As friendly as Leaf and her tiny team have tried to be.]

[video]

[palletspride]

I was given a pretty big place in Cloud Spires, you could stay there if you want. The Weather Imps took one look at my team and gave me the biggest place possible because of it.

... There's, uh. More room than I strictly need.

[video]

[releaf]

Really? [She's excited! It's not home, but...] What's it like? I haven't been yet!

[...She's just been around Summer Forest because it's warm and nice.]

[video]

[palletspride]

Here, I can show you. [He moves with the orb towards a window before turning it around to show off the scenery of Cloud Spires.]

It's a nice place and the locals here are pretty friendly.

[video]

[releaf]

It seems pretty high up! [What was she expecting from a name like Cloud Spires, though.] Have you ever almost fallen off?

[video]

[palletspride]

There were a couple times when I have, but my Charizard managed to catch me before I actually fell. [A sheepish look.]

[video]

[releaf]

[That seems a little scary.] I don't really have anyone who'd be able to catch me if I fell... Saurette's vines are pretty strong though, so if she was fast enough I 'd be fine. I wonder if she's okay with heights? We've never flown before.

[video]

[palletspride]

You could come by here and we could see how you and Saurette like it here. Well... if you want, I mean.

[video]

[releaf]

I wouldn't mind! Um... I'll come by after I get some things from the monks, okay?

[Then she can make him ... Vegetable summer rolls, or something.]

[video]

[palletspride]

Okay. I'll wait for you out front.

[video]

[releaf]

[Leaf gives a little wave before the feed cuts off.

...And comes back on almost as fast.]

Wait! H-how do I get to Cloud Spires?

[video]

[palletspride]

Do you know how to get to Sunrise Spring? If not, here-- [He describes how to do so from Summer Forest, pausing every now and then.]

From there, you should see a portal that says "Cloud Spires".

[video] --> [action]

[releaf]

[She nods along, trying her best to memorize.]

Okay, thank you! I'll be there in a bit!

[...If "in a bit" is an hour. But she's made it to Cloud Spires, and her bag's stuffed full with things. Good things. Oodles of good things.]

[action]

[palletspride]

[And as promised, he's waiting for her.

Although, he jogs over to greet Leaf the moment he spots her.] Hey!

[action]

[releaf]

Sorry I took so long. You, um, you weren't waiting too long, right? [She got a little lost. That's just how she is.]

[action]

[palletspride]

It's all right, I hardly noticed it.

[... When you hang around and do nothing but train on Mt. Silver nearly all day, an hour's nothing.]

[action]

[releaf]

[Get some hobbies, bro.]

If you're sure... [She glances around the area and smiles.] ...It really is high up. Um-- so, which way? To your place. Our place. Um. The house you have here.

[action]

[palletspride]

[He's working on it.]

It's not that far from here, just this way. [He beckons for her to follow and starts walking. It's by no means a particularly quick pace, though. No reason to hurry, after all.]

[action]

[releaf]

[She follows after him; she's happy at the pace, mostly because she can take her time looking at the scenery for herself.]

It's really pretty here... Did they really just give you a place to stay for free?

[action]

[palletspride]

They did. The Weather Imps have been really generous--I was pretty surprised myself.

[action]

[releaf]

That really is nice of them... [Hmmm, though. Her tone changes a little; a bit concerned.] Green's not staying with you, is he?

[action]

[palletspride]

[There's a long pause before he lets out a small laugh (though it sounds a little strained) and shakes his head.]

Green doesn't like me very much, I'm afraid. Are you his friend? [It's a little strange to Red though. Green didn't seem the type to really make friends.]
