oo5 [Video/Action for Saffron Pokémon Center]

[freezetheskies]

[Hi, Johto. Enjoy the sound of a heart monitor breaking your otherwise quiet night, along with a rather bright blue glow before the camera on this end can adjust. That is what happens when a gear gets turned on from relative darkness and is soon faced into light, so what can you do? Not much besides wait for it to clear and reveal a room in a Pokémon Center somewhere, with a tank of water in the center and a chair nearby.

There's also a tiny Horsea floating in the tank with what can only be an oxygen mask attached to its snout and leads attached to its body. That must be the source of the sound, but the source of the feed isn't so easily traced back right away. It takes a moment, but a sound that can only be a Dragonair humming soon breaks the monitor's steady beeping, and the feed shifts a bit to reveal that it is instead a Dragonair, coiled in the corner of the room and in control of the gear with his tail. The Dragonair looks looks up, shifting the camera back towards the tank as his trainer enters with a nurse right behind him, taking a seat while the nurse does her checking, then looks to the boy who...looks about ready to fall over.]

"Mr. Hitsugaya, are you sure you'd like to stay? There's nothing we can do but wait--"

Thank you, but I'm sure.

[The nurse sighs at his stubborness, but doesn't bring up the issue again as she notes down the changes on the chart in her hand, looking to the clock on the wall then back to Hitsugaya.]

"I suppose there are worse places to be spending your birthday. Call for us if anything changes."

[With that, the nurse leaves him staring at the clock, and after a moment, he sighs and looks back to the tank. Yeeeep. Guess who's spending his birthday in the Pokemon Center and just doesn't seem to care. This guy, that's for sure. He only sits, watching the Horsea for long moment and saying nothing while Shiryuu squeezes the gear and shuts it off. They're in for a long night.]


[Private to: Rangiku Matsumoto]
The egg you gave me hatched. I thought you'd like to know.

[ Blink.

Blink. ] Your... birthday...?

[freezetheskies.livejournal.com]

[Nod.] Hmm. December the twentieth.

[Video] oh my god thank you for the custom comment page

[seikaprez.livejournal.com]

I-Isn't that today--?!

[Video] ♥ it's so better than the sitewide now.

[freezetheskies.livejournal.com]

[Another nod.] It is, yes. I don't see the point in getting excited over it, though.

[Video] ughh it so is ;m; /clings onto subject lines

[seikaprez.livejournal.com]

[ She kind of. Understands since she doesn't like to make a big deal out of it. Still, though... ]

And you're okay with spending it in the Center?

[Video] /clings with

[freezetheskies.livejournal.com]

[Still, he doesn't see it as a big deal. Never has.]

It isn't as if I have anywhere else to be.

video! aaand i needed to hit this up with her too

[hibiscushield.livejournal.com]

-!! I-It's your birthday today, Toushiro-kun??

[ Oh no oh no oh no how could she not know asdfghjkl;! ]

video! all are welcome~ :3

[freezetheskies.livejournal.com]

[...why does he get the feeling he's going to be getting this a lot? Darned nurse...]

It is, yes.

[Probably didn't know because he never told anyone. He's crazy that way.]

video! good, there's no way orihime would let him get away with not getting anything from her

[hibiscushield.livejournal.com]

[ Oh, Orihime would have found out eventually, silly goose. ]

Ah... And Christmas is coming up soon too, right?

[ And then, to herself: ] Then his present will be a birthday-slash-Christmas gift-- no, no, that's not right...

[ A little more incoherent mumbling before she addresses him again. ] A-Are you cold, Toushiro-kun?

video! x3 he should have known

[freezetheskies.livejournal.com]

[Yes, well, he wasn't expecting that to happen on the actual day..

Also that's a nod then a glance. What is she muttering about?]

Not really, no. The center is heated.

[...yeeep. He missed the point entirely.]

video! orihime the giving fairy

[hibiscushield.livejournal.com]

Or, hm, maybe a better question would be: Are you cold when you're in, um, non-heated places?

[ Good good, she doesn't want him to get the point! ]

video! who will need all the luck she can get for herself to pull this off

[freezetheskies.livejournal.com]

[headshake.] The storms haven't been as bad this year as they were last year, and I have a coat. I'm fine.

[Then it's a good thing he's still missing it, huh?]

{Nanao's quiet for a long moment before she speaks up.}

If it's any consolation, the same thing happened to my Riolu. Late in hatching, hatched with...


...issues.

{Video}

[freezetheskies.livejournal.com]

[He simply shakes his head, Shiryuu humming at the familiar voice through the speaker.]

He was supposed to have hatched no later than May, Ise. Issues may end up being the least of my concerns.

[ COLOR RANGIKU SURPRISED. She'll just text him right back with all of the excitement ever! Like, by this I mean, less than a second or two passes before a response. ] On your birthday too, Taichou?! That's such a special occasion! Can I see heeeeer~?

Does this mean I still need to get you a present?! Or does this already count?![ She is sort of lazy...but no, she really already has a gift!! In fact, it'll be ready when he turns on the camera if he wishes to switch to video! ]

[Hopefully she is sitting down, because the feed flares to life to show the Horsea in the tank; Hitsu's obviously the one controlling the feed, but his face isn't in view. Probably for the best.]

video!!! || 1/2

[superboobies.livejournal.com]

[ There is a giant light blue, and dark blue striped sweater behind her with a whoooole bunch of wrapped gifts. No guesses on who they're for!

She'll continue to look into the tan cooing and awwing all the while. ]

Taichou! He's the cutest thing ever!

2/2

[ Rangiku goes on to incessantly praise the newborn before the furor of excitement dies down. Her voice grows soft into a fairly worried one, now that she's finally observed the condition. ]

Is he going to be okay?

video!

[freezetheskies.livejournal.com]

[Just ignoring the praise and not even noticing the pile of gifts behind her as he waits this out. She can go on and on and on and---oh. She stopped. Good...though he does sigh and shrug faintly at her question.]

They don't know for sure. If he survives tonight and tomorrow, his chances are good, but...it's hard to tell at this point.

[superboobies.livejournal.com]

[ GOOD. GOOD GOOD. IGNORE ALL OF THIS. However her face sort of falls at the mention. ]

Huh? Pokemon can die...? [ She sounds relatively devastated by this fact. ]

[attrites.livejournal.com]

Ooh, it's your birthday - ?! Happy birthday! How old are you?

( video )

[freezetheskies.livejournal.com]

[A pause; he actually appears to be thinking on this for a moment, before he shrugs.] That depends on which world you're asking.

( video )

[attrites.livejournal.com]

Hmm... how about both of them, then?

( video )

[freezetheskies.livejournal.com]

[Now he sighs. Both, huh? Fine. He did ask.] Here, supposedly thirteen. On my homeworld, somewhere between eighty and ninety. I stopped counting a long time ago.

( video )

[attrites.livejournal.com]

Sounds kinda complicated... so you're both younger and older than me at the same time. Although, I guess if you've lived ninety years then technically you would be ninety everywhere, right?
