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.]

[ oh she knows it's not impossible to be seriously injured! cough Suzaku cough! She'll just giggle though. I mean, her taichou was just bested by a cat ]

Hee! Taichou, cats cause you a lot of trouble! I'm glad to see you're okay! [ she doesn't know the extent of his injuries but she knows he can pull through anyways. She'd be really concerned about the ankle though. ]

[freezetheskies.livejournal.com]

[Is it really that funny? It was just a cat---okay, fine, he can kind of understand how it would be amusing. To her, anyway.]

They cause less trouble than Hollows. Of course I'd be fine.

[Then it's a good thing he's got the gear and can conceal a limp just fine. No matter how much he does appreciate her "company", he doesn't want her to worry or anything like that.]

[superboobies.livejournal.com]

[ Good, she didn't want to giggle forever and had to explain it! Too much effort! ]

I know you'd be fine, but I can still be glad you're fine.

[ she's none the wiser to Hitsugaya's condition and he should be thankful for that! ]

[freezetheskies.livejournal.com]

[Then it's a good thing she got lucky. This time.]

For now, at any rate. Now I just have to get out of here before the sun goes down.

[Oh, he is! He is and he will continue to be for as long as she doesn't. find. out.]

[superboobies.livejournal.com]

Good luck getting out of there Taichou! I'm here for you!

[ SHE HAS THE BEST LUCK.

she'll find out!! just you wait!!!!! SHE HAS THE BEST LUCK after all ]

[freezetheskies.livejournal.com]

[The tiniest of smiles. He knows she's here, and he's glad for it. So glad. Even if he'll have to be drunk or poisoned to say it aloud.

Or, you know, stumbling because he limped over an uneven piece of ground. His luck sucks, because there's no way she wouldn't see that limp now.

Her luck, on the other hand, has never failed her to this day. And it certainly hasn't yet!]

[superboobies.livejournal.com]

[ SHE'LL GET HIM TO SAY IT OUT LOUD OF THESE DA-

WHAT THE HELL WAIT NEVER MIND SHE'S REALLY DISTRACTED RIGHT NOW.

GOD HER LUCK SUCKS. ]

T-Taichou!? Are you all right?! Your leg looks pretty bad!

[freezetheskies.livejournal.com]

[Her luck sucks?! HIS luck sucks! He didn't want her to find out about this!

But really he's fine. Just dusting himself off and starting that walk again. Slow as he gets, but still.]

I told you I'm fine, and I meant it. It's just a sprain.

[superboobies.livejournal.com]

[ BUT SHE DID




AND NOW YOU'LL PAY. ]

Taichou, you look really injured! How can you be waling with a sprain?! It looks awful! Call the police now! They'll pick you up and bring ou to a city where there's medical assistance!

[freezetheskies.livejournal.com]

[Oh, great. Now she's pissed and worried and...this just isn't his day.

Doesn't mean he can't make "this is just business" linefaces, though. Have one of those, Matsumoto. Have several, in fact. He's. FINE.]

Will you calm down? I'm in a city already, and I've walked with worse before. Once I get back to the main road, it'll be over.

[superboobies.livejournal.com]

[ The first point seems to distract her!

That's right! He's in goldenrod! ]

That's right! You're in Goldenrod! Just... take care okay? And get that foot checked out. I don't want to be known as the lieutenant to the taichou with the ugly foot.

[freezetheskies.livejournal.com]

[Oh, good. For once, distracting her is a good thing for him. Not that he doesn't appreciate her concern, on some tiny level.]

Where do you think I'm going? I know better than to leave this unattended for long.

[That and he's got several other scrapes he can't handle on his own. Even he knows better than to avoid help sometimes. ...very few times.]

[superboobies.livejournal.com]

[ awww good!! she loves you kay? ;w; and distracting is too easy. ]

I don't know! You're usually the no help man so you seem to be self-isolated. I hope you get that ankle heal, okay~? Maybe even a cast too so I can sign it and we can take it home with us as proof that we were here.

[freezetheskies.livejournal.com]

[kay. he loves you too, ya know. even if he'll never say it and is grateful for how easy she is to distract!]

It's doubtful this is going to actually require a cast. You'll have to find something else if you want a souvenir.

[superboobies.livejournal.com]

[ SHE HASN'T BEEN JETTSONED YET.

SHE KNOWS HE DOES! ]

Um, um, .... what about ...hm... quick! Taichou! Suggest something we can take home as a souvenir!

[freezetheskies.livejournal.com]

[Amazingly, he actually pauses for a moment to give this a little thought, then he shrugs one shoulder.]

A Pokéball would be simpler to take with us than anything else I've seen so far.

[superboobies.livejournal.com]

[ CHEERFUL RANGIKU IS CHEERFUL. ]

Aah! You really think so?! It'd make a great accessory! I'm taking the ultra ball though, just because it looks the best~!

[freezetheskies.livejournal.com]

[AND GETTING AN EYEROLL FOR HER TROUBLES!]

It's something that's easy to carry back through however we arrive and leave. Does it matter what it looks like?

[superboobies.livejournal.com]

[ NOT THE EYEROLL CAPTAIN... ]

Of course it does. We're taking proof that there's another world out there. We need to make sure it looks as pleasing and realistic as possible. I'd take the Master Ball if I could~! Maybe we can seal Aizen in it!

[freezetheskies.livejournal.com]

[Hey, it's better than a glare, right? Maybe?]

Even if it could, we'd have no way of proving it hadn't been created in our world. It's highly unlikely that anyone would believe us, even with something from here.

[superboobies.livejournal.com]

Where the hell would we find something like that in our world? If we have Byakyua back up our claims, then we automatically are believed by everyone!

[freezetheskies.livejournal.com]

[headshake. honestly...] What reason would they have to take his word? He may be a Taichou, but that alone isn't enough for his word to be taken as automatic truth.

[superboobies.livejournal.com]

Because, Byakuya never ever ever lies~! [ she says this quite cheerfully. ] He's always so serious so it'd be really impossible to even think that he'd lie or create something like this!

[freezetheskies.livejournal.com]

[A long pause, then he sighs and speaks quietly. That's what Momo said about Aizen, after all. Too many bad memories attached to it.]

I suppose. But don't count on that...he'd have to remember in order to say anything about this place.

[superboobies.livejournal.com]

[ She'll pretend not to notice this, as she doesn't really want the conversation to shift. ]

Nanao did when she came home, she even requested a week off to get over her shock. Hopefully he will too!
