025 [Video/Action for Saffron]

[soggypastry]

--I said stop that.

[Well. Someone sounds a little angry today, doesn't she? Lightning's not exactly known for her easy-going nature, but she's calmed down a lot here in Johto. Except it doesn't seem that way from the tone of her voice.

But at least the growling isn't her. No, that growling belongs to the Shinx who just happens to be chewing on the gear, keeping the feed in blackness until Spark pulls it free of his mouth and starts a bit of a Pokésquabble. This does let anyone watching see that Lightning has a cloth over her arm and is chasing Odin around, the horse prancing and...yep. Dancing around to avoid her. He seems amused, though, especially after she tosses the cloth over his back. It's a saddle blanket, and it's supposed to stay on, but Odin's not having any of it. Nope, he's just running away so quickly it falls to the ground and leaves Lightning in the dust. Amused horse is amused and...almost laughing.

Yep. A laughing horse. It apparently does happen, but Lightning is most certainly not amused. She's just picking up the saddle blanket and trying again. And again. And again. And each time, Odin just runs away and ditches the blanket, leaving Lightning shaking her head while Shinx and Spark continue to tussle, hitting the gear and ending the feed without her noticing it was even on.]


Private Text to: Rise Kujikawa

[About six hours after the video feed, Rise will receive this:]

Can you meet me at the Train Station? I have something for you.

...Unruly creatures.

[soggypastry]

Some are worse than others. Especially when they're young.

I've only had minor occurances with them as infants. [ ... ] I have to agree.

[adamant]

[He's been watching this for some time, a hint of amusement on his face.]

Need any help?

action;

[soggypastry]

[Normally, that hint of amusement would earn him a look, but as it is, she nods and picks up the blanket again. Odin why you running?]

Sure, if you think you can get him to hold still.

[Because that's what she needs right now. Odin, on the other hand...well, he's just swinging a look in Leon's direction and snorting. You wanna try, man?]

action;

[adamant]

I don't think I could.

[No, rather, Leon quickly releases one of his pokeballs--and Flood appears in a flicker of light. Tentacles!!!!

Leon can't do it, but Flood can. Sneaky.]

[coolestcat]

I take it you don't have much patience with rambunctious pets.

[soggypastry]

Is it that obvious?

Re: video;

[coolestcat]

It passes obvious and slips into blatant. Any way I can help?

[Looks at the Electric-types, looks at the Rapidash, looks at Lightning. Looks at the Electric-types, looks at the Rapidash, looks at Lightning.]

...What a cooperative team.

[video]

[soggypastry]

[Lightning who is, perhaps not surprisingly, looking more than a bit flustered....and yes, the electric types are still squabbling. Perhaps that's why.]

We've all had better mornings. They're not used to staying inside all the time.

[video]

[paladinlost]

Your Rapidash's attitude seems to have very little to do with being inside.

[Just saying.]

[ex_aeroga402]

[Ven was just out getting some supplies, but he halts when he sees what's going on here]

Hey Lightning, do you need a hand?

[action]

[soggypastry]

[Mind your legs, Ven; Spark and the Shinx are still tumbling and tussling, and there are sparks flying. Don't get shocked!]

If you think you can get him to hold still.

[action]

[ex_aeroga402]

[Oh he's learned his lession about leg-minding after Kanzeon, no worries there]

Sure, I'll give it a try.

[With that, he tugs at his collar, a pair of black-tipped ears emerging]

C'mon Bolt.

video;

[skirtchases]

[No, he's not snickering. Never.]

Looks like someone's having some problems.

video;

[soggypastry]

[Of course he's not. He wouldn't dare snicker at this face, would he?]

Things aren't always what they look like, you know.

video;

[skirtchases]

[...Maybe.]

Maybe in some cases, but it looks like you're having a little bit of a hard time here to me.

[ And Fang's just arrived on the sidelines with Bahamut in tow. It's hard to tell if Odin's antics or the mini fight amuses her more. Her tone is mild, but there's no mistaking that smile. She'll get around to helping in a moment. ]

Don't think he's in the mood for cooperating.

[action]

[soggypastry]

[The mini-fight is probably the more amusing of the two at the moment...provided Fang doesn't get shocked. Because they're still at it and sparks are flying, and those things hurt.

Odin, at least, isn't likely to charge Fang. Hopefully.]

Would you be if you were in his position?

[lif]

[ She's willing to risk it. What're a few sparks between friends? Especially for this much entertainment. ]

Can't say I would. Which raises the question: why're you doing this in the first place?

[ If Lightning's going to be trying to force the so obviously unwilling, there's gotta be a reason. ]

[action]

[riset]

[ don't need to tell her twice. Rise's immediately heading over there at a fast pace that will probably have her a little out of breath from the cold air. ]

Light!!

[action]

[soggypastry]

[As soon as she gets to the station, Rise will see that Lightning's sitting on a bench with her bag on one side and a package on the other. Not that she stays there for long; she's quick to stand up once she catches sight of Rise. Can she have a hug, littlest sis?]

[Video]

[ordalias]

... Do you need help, Lightning?

[ No matter her state, she is always willing to help friends and she pretty much figured out the various escape routes out of a Pokemon Center out of sheer boredom. ]

[Video]

[soggypastry]

[With anyone else, she'd have said yes and that would have been that. With Xion....yeah, no, sorry. Not doing this again.]

Thanks, but I've got it. He'll wear himself out sooner or later.

[Or she'll give up on this idea. Whichever happens first.]
