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.]

The egg you gave me hatched. I thought you'd like to know.

[A quick headshake; at least the translation is the same, but...]

Then there is a difference between the ones on your world and mine. We protect souls, not collect them.

Ahh, that sounds way less intimidating than collecting them.

[freezetheskies.livejournal.com]

That depends more on what we're protecting them from at the time, I'd think. It isn't an easy job.

Hmm... do you enjoy it, though?

[freezetheskies.livejournal.com]

[Shrug] It's work. Enjoying it isn't a concern of mine, so long as it gets done.

... But wouldn't it be easier? If you also enjoyed it, I mean.

Maybe, but enjoying the job doesn't make signing paperwork or fighting monsters go any faster. It goes faster if you put your mind to it instead of goofing off.

[Yeah. Someone needs to explain the concept of self-morale to this guy.]
