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.

Date: 2011-12-30 06:56 am (UTC)They'd actually let people get away like that?! I mean- I'm glad Rangiku-san's not in trouble anymore, but still...!
video!
Date: 2011-12-30 10:15 am (UTC)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!
Date: 2011-12-30 01:11 pm (UTC)...How much worse is worse, Toushiro-kun?
video!
Date: 2011-12-31 04:12 am (UTC)From what I've heard, attempted murder carries the same charge as skipping work.
video!
Date: 2012-01-01 01:56 pm (UTC)...That's...
...But that's so dangerous- why would they do that...?
video!
Date: 2012-01-02 04:44 am (UTC)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!
Date: 2012-01-04 12:50 am (UTC)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!
Date: 2012-01-04 02:48 am (UTC)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.]
video!
Date: 2012-01-04 10:04 am (UTC)I'm glad that I'm with Rangiku-san, then... Do you have a travelling group, Toushiro-kun?
[ Right, except now she realizes that there are four shinigami here who, while powerless, are probably trained in physical combat also. Fighting alongside them will be different, but they're just as capable as Ichigo and the others are... So really, she shouldn't be afraid. ]
video!
Date: 2012-01-05 04:27 am (UTC)Also, he shakes his head now. No group. He's on his own and frankly prefers it that way.]
Not unless you count my team.
[She doesn't have to be afraid...yet, at any rate. They'd still have her back if the time comes, though.]
