.003 ice cream [Voice | Fourth Wall'd]

[There's a very loud and persistent stream of toges at first, followed by a hushing sound, low and soothing.] I know, sweetheart. We will look for them.

Ah, to anyone else who can hear this-- you're probably wondering what is going on and how you ended up here, and while I might not have all the answers, I can try to help you to the best of my abilities. And my Pokemon, as well!

[... oh, she knows that voice!]

Flint? [And by now, she had been hoping Flint, too, was fine just like the others, but it's always a good thing to hear confirmation from the real thing.] Yes, this is me-- where are you?

What's the best way to tell? This whole place looks like a wreck! I've never seen anywhere look like this.

[ But if Cynthia can hear the background, or perhaps his voice towards the end, he's begun to move, sometimes the ground crunching under him (from some rubble). ]

[battledancing]

Ah, yes, I know... Check your device for a button so you can switch to video mode and then show me your surroundings. I should be able to figure out where you are and then I can go find you.

Alright, let me see here...

[ So he gives it a check, spotting the button Cynthia was speaking about. He presses it, looking to the screen that he noticed before. ]

How's this, Cyn? Can you see me?

[battledancing]

Very clearly! [And she just could not help but offer him the hugest beam ever. With this, the entirety of her Elite Four surrogate family members were safe, and that was all she needed.]

Now, take that device and give me a quick scan of the area, all right?

[flametastic.livejournal.com]

You've got it. [ But hey, Cynthia should know that she was getting a smile back no matter what from this Elite Four member before he moved the device to face outwards. If Cynthia's got a good eye for streets, then she might recognise the convenience stores of Marshall Street... ]

How is it? You know this place?

video

[battledancing]

[Well, at least we can have a smilefest now, because the first two Elite Four people who showed up were greeted with a bawlfest instead. But anyway, she knows that street, and thankfully Marshall isn't that far from Latimir, so it shouldn't take her long.]

Yes, I'm pretty close by, actually! I'll be there in a moment!

[ WAS THEIR FACE THAT BAD, CYNTHIA? Also, all the cool people are at Latimir. ]

Great! I'll stand here and wait for you, then?

[YOU HAVE NO IDEA DJSFJSKDF. But yeah, she'll be flying over at the speed of sound, because that's what landshark dragons of death are for!

And the minute she gets there, there will be no words at first. Only hugs.]

[flametastic.livejournal.com]

[ The best landshark dragon of death ever. That's one way of knowing Cynthia's coming or what you hope it will be. The embrace though and no words? That's a bit of a surprise - ] H-hey, Cyn!

[ But hey, Flint will go along with it, putting his arms around her. ] Hey... it's good to see you too.

[battledancing]

[Oh, you just have nooo idea, Flint. And as long as it depends on Cynthia, you won't ever know about that last tragic episode. She was very relieved to see him well, and this was going to be a happy reunion, gdit!]

Ah, I'm sorry... [A half embarrassed smile is offered as she pulls away.] It really is very good to see you again, too.

[flametastic.livejournal.com]

No need to tell me, I can feel it. [ He waves a hand at the apology- really, he doesn't mind despite being taken off guard. His hands then rest on his sides. With that, though, his smile calms except all icons are smiles and he takes a glance round. ] So, I'm guessin' you've got a better idea than me about what's going on?

action

[battledancing]

Quite. [She offers him a weak smile in return; what she's about to tell him is hardly even taken lightly.] You see... I know it sounds very odd, but this is a different world-- or dimension, whatever you prefer to call it.

action

[flametastic.livejournal.com]

Y-yeah? [ But, looking around this place, how this all feels-- ] You know, it'd sound out there any other time, but right now? I think I can believe it.

[ But maybe this isn't the right time for discussion outside... ] Is it safe out here?
