.012 battles [Video]

[battledancing]

[The video opens to an image of Cynthia, smiling her usual smile at the camera. There seems to be a little more noise in the background than usual, but we'll leave that aside. For now.]

I have been giving some thought to an idea I had a while ago, and I would be delighted if I could be given some input. See, ever since the arson in the library, we have been left with very little information about Discedo, save for whatever people may have salvaged. In fact, at the time I had a few books with me-- [A short pause as she checks her surroundings, looking for her small stack of books. That's when the camera shifts around to reveal a blue, bipedal jackal-like Pokemon with his face buried in the old tomes.] --ah, as you can see, Lucario is making very good use of them. But that's hardly enough.

[With the camera facing Cynthia again, she goes on.] So, I was thinking that perhaps we could start a new collection of our own, so that whoever may inhabit this place in the future will have somewhere to start! Every little bit is important-- oh! [This is when a sea serpent-like creature pops into view, poking her head to check out the communicator and softly humming in ways that could be translated as "What is this? Are people watching me? Look how pretty I am!"] Sweetheart, I don't think this is the right time for a pageant...

[Another hum later, Milotic wraps her body around her trainer, head on her shoulder.] As I was saying, anything at all would help! Marco is working on a beastiary and I promised mister Gyatso I would include the soup kitchen in this project, but there's so much more to add, from the more mundane things like the restaurant and the school and the greenhouse to the chips and their strange effects on people, that Atropos virus from before and the vaccine-- and that's not even counting what's beyond Discedo, but if the invasion from months ago is anything to go by, we can be sure there's something else out there, somewhere past the river! Has anyone ever gone that far, I wonder? Perhaps it could be a safer place for us to li--

[Garchomp gives a small growl and joins the two, fondly headbutting Cynthia.] ... oops, I seem to have gotten carried away again! At any rate, what does everyone think?

[And right before the feed is turned off, Togekiss pokes his big smiling face in, waving at the camera with a wing. "That's all, folks!"]

I don't think anyone's gone farther than the city across the lake.

[ ...oh hello. New friends of yours, Cynthia? ]

.. oh right, Now I need a Lucario and a Milotic icon in my Pokemon account |D

[battledancing]

Ah, I have heard about that once or twice. Do you happen to know what it's called?

[Well, technically, they've been here for over a week BUT BACKDATING IS GO. So. Have both Milotic and Lucario curiously peeking at you... erm, Lucario.

... we'll need new names.]

Yes you do :3

[sense-ur-aura.livejournal.com]

Spero. It used to be connected via the subway, but now something's blocking it.

[ We can just say he's been...to himself most of the week. Or running around town ignoring everything. 'cause he does that.

Oh hey. Another him. Have some staring. ]

[dontcallmegol.livejournal.com]

We've traveled to a place called Spero a few times, it's across the lake.

[battledancing]

Lucario was just telling me about it! I'm assuming you got there by sailing?

[dontcallmegol.livejournal.com]

That we did. My brother, our Nakama and a few others sailed over on the Weather Hardy, our ship.

[dustedsunlight.livejournal.com]

I help Germany with the suvival crash course... it's not a lot, but it's got basic information on the city.

I also have some maps of Spero, from last time we went there. I went on the ship with a bunch of other people.

And, uhm, I'd be willing to write down everything the scientists have done since I've arrived. I've been here 2 years, 2 months.

I'm so sorry I'm late ;A;

[battledancing]

Two years and two months... that really is a long time.

I would very much appreciate it if you could write down anything you can, though. Something like this survival crash course would definitely be of great help.

nooo don't worry about it \o/

[dustedsunlight.livejournal.com]

I suppose so. I don't really mind so much, though.

Well I can give you the information that we give out at the course, along with anything else I know. I'm sure I could document what the scientists have done to the city since I've been here through my communicator.

Including classes?

Watch and Defense Army.

text (sorry for being so late ;w;)

[battledancing]

Anything at all! Would you be responsible for those classes, by any chance? Or are you a student?

[rules_the_north]

I teach Swedish.

Not responsible for the others, though.

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

I have been writing reports on recent events.

Additionally, Seifer has information on Spero.

so late aaaaaaaah orz orz

[battledancing]

Seifer? Ah, I haven't talked to him since-- [Ooops, getting sidetracked here, Cynthia!]

Ah, would you be willing to share those reports?

It's okay!

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

Here (http://musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com/8500.html#cutid1) are my reports thus far.

And this (http://postasskicking.livejournal.com/3352.html#cutid1) is Seifer's information.

[fierybluebird]

Apparently Ace and his little brother went across the lake once.

SO SORRY I'M LATE ;A;

[battledancing]

He was just telling me about it, and I had heard something from Chopper, as well! Do you think a second trip would be possible, Marco?

[always-on-duty.livejournal.com]

...You've got more animals! [:D! Screw libraries, Pokemon are cute!]

hnnng so laaaaaate ;w;

[battledancing]

Pokemon, actually. But yes, I did! I had missed them so much!

[Speaking of cute Pokemon, Milotic is peeking at the screen again, staring right at you, Gadget. "I'm not an animal, mister."]

[dreamermoa.livejournal.com]

I don't think we ever found very much in the what is that?

[That being.....all of the things. WHAT ARE THOSE.]

/APOLOGIZES FOR LATE EVERYWHERE EVER

[battledancing]

That-- oh, you mean my Pokemon?

[video] latest of late.

[takehiscrown.livejournal.com]

[Missing the major point for that one comment.]

Safer place for us to--?

[video] not huh you will never beat my late

[battledancing]

To live, of course! For however long we stay here, I mean.

see, i'm late commenting to this in general

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

[Kind of watching those new Pokemon... but anyways.]

I'd love to help if I could. I have a lot of information written in my diary, and I think I could do any writing you needed.

it's a latefest sob

[battledancing]

[Oh, they'll be watching you, too, Chihiro. And asking for pettings because Cynthia has totally told them to be exceedingly nice to you.]

That's very kind of you, sweetheart. I wouldn't want to keep you too busy, though; you still have your novel to work on.
