002 → accidental video - action for Goldenrod

[fortunatetoaster]

Aaaaah, man, what the hell's goin' on here?! This ain't where I -- aaargh!

[ going by the angle of the video, the PokeGear appears to have been dropped and is lying on its side but it still manages to catch a miserable and thoroughly sodden Labrys pacing around a street of what appears to be Goldenrod. The shower of rain evidently hadn't done her any good and she's soaked to the bone, and freezing to boot. She's not used to it and she's not enjoying it either.

Neither is Kirarin, who looks just as miserable as her trainer and gives a pitiful bleat. ]

Yeah, I know! First they dump me hear without any warnin' and next they start throwin' me around everywhere! It's-- hrgh, where is it?

[ she turns a dizzy circle, looking around and finally her eyes land on the PokeGear and she heaves a huge sigh before pacing over and scooping it up. ]

Ah, jeez, did it start recordin' when I dropped it? ... anyway.

[ she huffs upwards, trying to blow a sodden lock of hair out of her face, with little success. ]

Okay, so after all that... whatever was goin' on, I fell asleep and now I ain't where I was before. This happen t'anyone else? ... and, uh.

[ she grins sheepishly. ]

Anyone know where I can get some new clothes?

[ and with that, the video clicks off.

if you want to find Labrys, she'll be wandering around Goldenrod looking like a lost lamb, with her actual lamb trotting along at her side. ]

Y'don't know the half of it.

[ she sounds distinctly grumpy as she says this, bending down a little to scritch Kirarin under the chin. ]

I mean, I was plannin' on comin' here anyway, but I definitely coulda done without the rain and all the other stuff.

[solas_ion]

You wanna come back to the Breeding Center to dry off? Could probably make you some coffee while we're at it.

[not like he gives a shit about being rained on but w/e]

[fortunatetoaster]

Ah... s--sure. If that's okay.

[ come to think of it, she should probably have headed there at some point anyway, but being invited along makes her feel kind of... weirdly shy in a way she's all too familiar with. ]

[solas_ion]

Course it is. That's kinda what it's there for.

[not really, lancer, but we'll play along.]

C'mon, it's this way.

[fortunatetoaster]

[ she hesitates for a second before starting to follow, with Kirarin trotting along at her heels, trainer and Pokemon both looking slightly less miserable at the prospect of something warm to drink. ]

The Breedin' Center is the place you work, ain't it?

[solas_ion]

Yeah, it is--don't worry, it's a nice place.

[fortunatetoaster]

... Can I ask ya somethin'?

[ she looks a little... embarrassed as she says this, like a kid preparing to ask a question in the middle of a sex ed class ]

I read the handbook thing but... breedin'... ain't the same with these guys like it is with proper animals, is it?

[solas_ion]

...Uh.

[ireland's greatest manwhore is slightly at a loss, because over three years he's learned just enough tact to be Very Concerned about this poor child.]

I mean...kinda--not really? There's not a lot of-....and it's somethin' to do with eggs I guess?

[fortunatetoaster]

... eggs?

[ giving him a look that's part confusion and part are you fucking with me right now good sir ]

Like... all of 'em? They all lay eggs?
