Re: 001; video/action for New Bark Town

[memories are a strange thing.]

[on some days, one could stand up from their seat, head out the door with a determined fire in their eyes, and... completely forget what they got up for in the first place. sometimes retracing one's steps doesn't even help. other days, one could have a song from their childhood stuck in their head without any particular reason. it's as if one's brain simply decided to turn on a recording.]

[other days still, you could be minding your own business, when suddenly, bam! something triggers an onslaught of memories you didn't know you had, if they're even yours to begin with. apparently, this phenomenon hurts one's noggin quite a bit.]

[in any case, this may explain why a confused but energetic kid steps out of Mom's house in New Bark Town, 'gear and gear in hand, and... promptly faceplants. for those of you watching the feed, it cuts in when the pokégear hits the ground. this unfortunate memory victim is down for the count for a few minutes-- at least, until that familiar pop of a pokéball can be heard offscreen, and a Girafarig appears on screen to start chewing on his trainer's mess of brown spiky hair.]

[considering where Sora is from, and where he is-- and the Girafarig, too-- this is entirely normal. when the feed finally times out, Sora's awake and coherent enough to try to bat Puddles away. worst alarm clock ever, honestly.]

You--

[ remember? This time? ]

Sora...?

I'm--

[he pauses, halts abruptly to think about this. one day, as far as he can remember, he was in Olivine, and pretty much the next thing he knows he's woken back up in New Bark. it's only after talking to others that he even realizes that there was a large gap of time in between.]

[what could he say? only one thing comes to mind.]


I'm sorry. I didn't mean...

Nononono, it's not your fault!

[ it's automatic, even if she's starting to sound choked up. He really does-- ]

[he hears that, big sis.]

... Rise?

... Ahaha... i-it's not really the way I wanted to welcome you back, so could you give me a second?

[identity profile] newhero.livejournal.com 2011-09-21 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
... All right. Take your time.

[ and she's turning away to wipe her eyes and take a deep breath, before she faces the screen with a smile. ]

Welcome back!

[and even though he may as well have talked to Rise yesterday as far as he can tell, she's got him going now, too. though Sora's less discreet about it; he simply takes to smashing both his hands against his eyes.]

Thanks...

H-hey, careful with your eyes!

[identity profile] newhero.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
-- Sorry. I... where are you right now, Rise?

[video]

[identity profile] newhero.livejournal.com 2011-09-25 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
Are you gonna be there for a while?

[video]

[identity profile] newhero.livejournal.com 2011-09-25 01:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll get there soon, then!

... I probably need to figure out what's going on with Puddles' girlfriend, after all.

You don't mind, Rise?

... You don't think she'll be mad at him, do you?

[video]

[identity profile] restardom.livejournal.com 2011-09-27 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
Of course I don't mind-- and it's hardly his fault, right? I'll smooth it over somehow!

[video]

[identity profile] newhero.livejournal.com 2011-09-28 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
You're the best, Rise.

[he taps at the 'gear lightly, as if doing so will further prove his point. somehow. big sis ;; ]

[identity profile] restardom.livejournal.com 2011-09-29 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ and Rise taps back, smile softening. ]

You bring out the best in me, Sora.

[aw look, you made him blush, Rise.]

Nah-- you don't need my help for that!

[video]

[identity profile] newhero.livejournal.com 2011-09-30 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
... Well, if it helps a little bit, anyway... I'll do what it takes!

[identity profile] newhero.livejournal.com 2011-09-30 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Anytime, Rise! I'll catch up with you soon, okay? I promise.
