oo5 [Video/Action for Saffron Pokémon Center]

[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.

video! then it will work!...eventually.

[Nod.] All fine, other than him. [Him being the Horsea in the tank; the heartbeat is steady, at least. That should say something.]

We don't need anything, Inoue. We're all right.

video! better than never B)

[identity profile] hibiscushield.livejournal.com 2011-12-23 12:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[ First Toushiro and then his Pokemon... ] Will he be okay...?

[ Ahh, he's making it a little difficult for her to carry out her plans orz ] I guess I'll just have to talk to Rangiku-san, then.

video! indeed!

[identity profile] freezetheskies.livejournal.com 2011-12-23 12:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[They attract trouble. It's a thing.] He should be. The nurses said his chances were good if he could pull through the first couple of days.

[Only a little? Dang, he's off his game. Also starting to get a feeling that maybe he should be worried; talking to Rangiku never ends well.] You may have trouble reaching her. She's been remarkably quiet lately.

video!

[identity profile] hibiscushield.livejournal.com 2011-12-23 01:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Nods and gives him a small smile. ] Ah... That's a relief.

Q...uiet...? [ Only a little. He would probably be a lot more difficult if he knew what she's trying to accomplish. ;; And woah what- Rangiku? Quiet? Really? ] Why...?

video!

[identity profile] freezetheskies.livejournal.com 2011-12-23 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[Not looking convinced.] A good chance doesn't equal a guarantee of survival, Inoue. There's nothing we can do but wait.

[nod. He'd certainly be more difficult if he knew, that's for sure. This is also a thing.] I'm not sure. I haven't been able to get into contact with her, either, but I know better than to assume it's because she's finally working.

[...Yes, he is slightly worried.]

video!

[identity profile] hibiscushield.livejournal.com 2011-12-23 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
But... it's called a good chance for a reason, right? The odds are in your favor, Toushiro-kun! [ Nodnodnod ]

Ah- um, well, I've actually... been travelling with Rangiku-san ever since a day or so after I arrived in Johto...! And I saw her recently- we're both kind of doing our own thing right now, b-but I think she's okay-! [ Worried? Hm, she can kind of sense it, yeah. ]

video!

[identity profile] freezetheskies.livejournal.com 2011-12-24 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose. [Still not convinced....but then again, he's stubborn. Best she doesn't try to convince him further. At least he's not arguing about it!

And if she was with Orihime, that would explain the lack of actual network use from her. One worry off his back...mostly.]


Provided she hasn't gone and gotten herself lost in the woods again.

video!

[ She wonders if she got through to him, but thankfully, she won't touch upon it any longer. It's definitely not something that she'd want to talk about too much, so it might be the same for him too, right? ]

E-Eh? Lost?

video!

[identity profile] freezetheskies.livejournal.com 2011-12-26 08:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Nod.] When I arrived here, she had already spent two weeks in a forest. It took her another two to get out of it, if I recall correctly.

[And she's not that lazy when sake and hot water aren't involved.

video!

[identity profile] hibiscushield.livejournal.com 2011-12-26 11:22 am (UTC)(link)
So it took her a month to get out...?

[ Preparing for the worst now... ] Do you know what forest she was in?

video!

[identity profile] freezetheskies.livejournal.com 2011-12-27 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
Around that amount of time, yes.

The Ilex forest. It's just south of Goldenrod City, and it appears to be the only one here.

video!

[identity profile] hibiscushield.livejournal.com 2011-12-27 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
I see...

But I'm travelling with Rangiku-san, so... It's not like she'd get lost again, would she?

video!

[identity profile] freezetheskies.livejournal.com 2011-12-28 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Slight shrug. She might be better behaved with Orihime around, but...]

Provided she doesn't end up on the run from the police again, she'll most likely stay in the cities. I doubt she could get lost there if you're around.

video!

[identity profile] hibiscushield.livejournal.com 2011-12-28 08:52 am (UTC)(link)
......




O...O-On the run from the police?!

video!

[identity profile] freezetheskies.livejournal.com 2011-12-29 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Nod....oh, wait...she probably thinks it's serious here.] For leaving her job before she was done for the week. They do it to everyone.

video!

[identity profile] hibiscushield.livejournal.com 2011-12-29 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
...Oh... [ Why is that not surprising? ] Rangiku-san didn't get arrested, did she?

video!

[identity profile] freezetheskies.livejournal.com 2011-12-30 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
[It's not surprising because it's Rangiku. Not much is surprising about her anymore.] No. By getting lost she managed to evade capture until the warrant expired. They stopped looking after that.

video!

[identity profile] hibiscushield.livejournal.com 2011-12-30 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ For Toushiro, probably, since they've known each other for so long, and because they've been in Johto for a while! ]

They'd actually let people get away like that?! I mean- I'm glad Rangiku-san's not in trouble anymore, but still...!

video!

[identity profile] freezetheskies.livejournal.com 2011-12-30 10:15 am (UTC)(link)
[That is most certainly true...but spent over fifty years knowing somebody and not much is surprising anymore.]

They've apparently let people get away with worse if they can't be found or captured in those two weeks. Law enforcement here isn't the most active.

[To put it bluntly...it's not even "enforcement".]

video!

[identity profile] hibiscushield.livejournal.com 2011-12-30 01:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ True, true! Even for seven years, things aren't surprising. ]

...How much worse is worse, Toushiro-kun?

video!

[identity profile] freezetheskies.livejournal.com 2011-12-31 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Even for shorter than that, some things just aren't surprising. It really does depend on the people involved.]

From what I've heard, attempted murder carries the same charge as skipping work.

video!

[identity profile] hibiscushield.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 01:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[ In this case, Matsumoto's usually predictable, so! ]

...That's...

...But that's so dangerous- why would they do that...?

video!

[identity profile] freezetheskies.livejournal.com 2012-01-02 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
[So there's fewer migraines for him! ...most of the time.]

Either because they don't care or because they don't have a system to prosecute people who do that.

[What's worse? Hard to say, really.]

video!

[identity profile] hibiscushield.livejournal.com 2012-01-04 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, what would a Hitsugaya/Matsumoto relationship be without the migraines? ]

But that means that the rest of us can be in some serious danger right now, doesn't it?

[ Not like they haven't been in serious danger before, but Sado, Ishida, and Ichigo aren't here to help her fight like they've always been, and that, admittedly, is a little scary. ]

video!

[identity profile] freezetheskies.livejournal.com 2012-01-04 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
[A very odd relationship. Just wouldn't be right.]

It does. That's why remaining separated isn't the best idea. There's only so much one team of Pokémon can do against a determined attacker.

[He gets the scary bit; for someone used to have backup or just winning the fights they get into, it can be terrifying to have no chance of that here.]
