[018; video/action for goldenrod]
[hey there, Johto! it's New Year's Eve, and as such the network is receiving a video feed from Father Time himself-- who knows where the hobbling little bearded old man came from, but he's currently curled up warm and toasty leaning up against the inn at Goldenrod, with his hat and his windbreaker and his scarf and his Girafarig blanket and-- wait. it's just Sora.]
[it appears he's wearing as many Christmas presents as he could pile on today (yes, the beard was a Christmas present. it's long and gray and glorious and one of these days he'll notice the stuffed pidgey in there, too). and when he starts speaking, it sounds like Father Time is having a really difficult... time... keeping a straight face.]
... My egg exploded into a dinosaur! See? [the feed turns to reveal a very tiny Tropius-- even though she's just a baby, it's pretty obvious that she's on the small side... probably around knee height to Trainer. the Tropius squeaks in greeting and flaps a leaf like she's trying to wave.]
The pokédex said that these guys start to grow their favorite fruit around their necks because it's the only thing they eat. Sooo, I was wondering... Has anybody seen a star-shaped fruit around? I already checked the stores here, but no luck.

I had a fine Christmas. I spent most of it helping out around the city, taught a kid how to ice skate.... [ And she does look quite content. ] It was nice.
Looks like you had a good Christmas, too.
[video]
[Sora's smile turns pensive briefly.] I-- yeah... one of my best friends was sick during Christmas, but he's better now. So it was a good Christmas.
[video]
[ Her smile eases into brief sympathy. ] I'm sorry to hear that, but it's good that he's better now. [ The smile brightens again. ] I can't imagine much could keep a guy like you down for long, especially on Christmas.

[ Because I realized, suddenly, that this is backtagging, I went ahead and wrote in a note to Sora in Quistis' latest entry (http://usedgatlinggun.livejournal.com/4748.html), since it's relevant to his interests now. ♥ ]

There's a shortcut?

Do you have the badge from Goldenrod, then, or was there someone else you were traveling with?
[video]
[Riku's the badge extraordinaire, not him, sadly. Sora's pokémon like to battle well enough, but he prefers to fatten them up with pokétreats more than he does training them.]
[video]
Neither do I. Honestly, the gyms seem a little intimidating... but... I have a friend who thinks that collecting all the badges may be the key to get home. [ She looks thoughtful, presumably about going home, but more likely about her friend. Hm. ]
[video]
[not that Sora doesn't want to go home, but... the longer he can stay here with Riku and Kairi both safe and with him, the happier he'll be.]
