oo2 [Video/Action for Goldenrod] {backdated to sunset}

[freezetheskies]

--can't believe this...where's that map...

[Evening, Johto. It's about sunset as the video comes on, though it's pretty much by total accident. The owner of this gear, one obviously rumpled and tired Toushiro Hitsugaya, doesn't even notice the thing is recording as he tries to get the map from his bag. Of course, it's useless in the back alleys of Goldenrod, which is where he appears to, and judging from the expression on the face of his Golduck standing behind him, they're lost.

Yep. His sense of direction in a town this large that he's never been to, is absolute crap and he knows it if the expression on his face says anything about that.]

We'll have to turn back. Come on.

[He turns to leave the alleyway and retrace their steps, Golduck right behind him and the flashes of orange fur at his ankle showing his Growlithe is right at his side. But then the puppy stops suddenly, turning to the entrance of another alleyway that the sun is just shining through, growls, and darts into it before her trainer can grab her.]

Hey---tch.

[He chases after his Growlithe, only to stop when he gets halfway to her and appears to see something from the corner of his eye. He turns his head, but before either he or anyone watching can see what caught his attention, a cream streak darts out from the shadows and his Growlithe starts barking again.

Of course, it's too late to do anything about that, and Hitsugaya loses his footing as the streak, obviously some kind of quadrupedal pokémon, lashes out at his face. The gear goes flying from his hand and skitters across the ground, turning off upon impact with something but not before there's a tremendous crash, the sound of breaking glass, and a surprised cry from the young man in the alley. Seems trouble follows him wherever he goes.]

[The forest itself, yes. The route there? Not quite. He'll manage.

And, frankly, so long as there's a roof, he's fine with roommates at the moment. What he's not fine with is the idea of teleporting, so he'll just be setting off now. Really, he's fine.]

I'll manage. I'd prefer to learn the way sooner rather than later, anyway.

{You cannot sleep in a tree with a bandaged ankle. :| }

If you're sure, Captain...

{Kiyone shrugs, disappearing back to the house, and Nanao wheels forward and down onto the street proper.}

[Tell that to this guy. He's too stubborn for his own good, really.]

Would I be doing this if I wasn't?

[...rhetorical question, that one; right now he's just waiting for her to lead the way, really. He's not steeling himself for what is most likely a long walk. Absolutely not.]

{She will, oh, she will.}

{But shrugging, and slowly starting to roll down the road - and he's doing well to steel himself, it's a looooong walk home for someone on crutches.}
