The 4th Storm [4th Wall Four; Video/Action for Olivine Pokemon Center]

[soggypastry]

[Normally there would be some kind of comment from Lightning about this, being that she currently has her memories of this being the fourth time things have gone to chaos in a handbasket, but instead of that, her gear feed is focused on something else in the Center room she still occupies; something that Sen is pawing at in curiosity. It appears to be a regular old Clefairy doll, but the moment that Sen gets close enough to sniff it, it giggles and transforms into something else entirely. Something that sends Sen skittering back in surprise and has Lightning blinking.

Not that she has time do much of anything about it, though; the creature is already forming pink bubbles and launching them everywhere, bouncing on one and sending the rest bouncing across the room, walls and ceiling included. Sen immediatly starts yipping in amusement, chasing and popping bubbles, while the Skitty that had been on Lightning's lap does the same. The creature continues to giggle and make more bubbles for the two mons to chase, and Lightning? Well. She just smiles and watches for a bit. It could be a lot worse, right?

Definitely could be a lot worse, especially since the creature is floating in front of Lightning's face now, blowing a small bubble that pops right in Lightning's face and makes her jump, soft amusement now replaced by a most definite lineface as the creature nearly falls over itself laughing, Sen and the Skitty doing the same no matter the looks she gives them. Anyone coming in for a visit is likely to get the same treatment, so watch out. At least it's friendly, though! That's good, right? ....Right?]

[He waves a hand at them in defeat and nods his head. It feels... strangely nice to be teased like this again, after spending so much time alone with only his thoughts for company. And yeah, okay, they're probably right to worry about the state of their door frames, walls, and ceilings, but he'll be careful. Promise!]

So do you want me to shower now? [The tone of his voice clearly asks what he doesn't say here: Do I smell that bad? He grins sheepishly and rubs a hand through his hair.] Might not be a bad thing...

[Though, uh, what's he going to do about his clothes?]

[Lightning just smiles softly at Serah, turning her hand to give her sister's fingers a squeeze as she gestures to the door with her head. Get going, sis. She'll be here for you two to come back too. Promise.

A moment afterwards, however, she turns back to Snow and nods. You really could do with a shower, bro. Seriously. Hot water would do you good.]

While you have a chance, yeah. You never know with this place. [She's not saying you smell bad, Snow. None of them smelled like roses during that trek across Pulse, after all. She's used to it. Mostly.] You can buy something else to wear on the way, too. There's clothing stores in town. [A pause, and the smirk returns. Still teasing!]

Though, if you're not careful, you might end up in pink swim trunks instead of something you can actually wear.

[Serah squeezes back, smiling at her sister as she slides off the bed.]

You heard her, come on. [She reaches out for his hand, tugging on it twice playfully. As if she could get him to budge on her own, yeah right.]

What's wrong with pink swim trunks?

[She taps her chin thoughtfully with her free hand.]

I think he could wear them just fine.

[They'd probably match her bathing suit too, bonus points!]

But it'd probably be better to find something he'd like better. I'm sure that shouldn't be too hard.

[encountersbarriers]

If I'm not careful?

[He gives Lightning an odd look as he hauls himself to his feet, careful not to pull too hard on Serah's proffered hand. How's he going to accidentally end up in a pair of pink swim trunks? Not that he can't handle that article of clothing, if that's... what Serah really wants.

The expression he wears is a mildly amused (and maybe just a little worried) one as she apparently decides that he would be perfectly fine wearing that.]

Let's take a look around. Might be something better.

[Hopefully? Now if he knew about the matching her in her bikini bit, this might be an entirely different story...]
