☄ (I. ⤞ Video)

(Technology is grand, but Fang has no patience for it. It's only thanks to her new furry friend that she hasn't smashed the communicator to pieces.)

Alright, is it on? Can anyone hear me? (The thick accent of a female Gran Pulsian is probably pretty startling to hear anyway. However there is an almost husky edge to this voice, perpetually sounding as if she has just woken out of a long slumber.

Which isn't far from the truth.) M'not sure how much I should say. The world doesn't seem t'be endin.

(The juries out on whether or not that's good.)

This cat thing can't talk. (Yes, she sounds disappointed by that.) So she directed me to this.

(There's a low expletive and a sigh.)

Guess there's no use in hidin' it. I'm Fang and if anyone could point me in the Savior's direction, I'd appreciate it.

(No! That doesn't sound insane at all!

Another button is pressed on accident - technology can take a hike, seriously - and bright green eyes can be seen, narrowed in frustration.)

Where's the off switch? (Have no fear, a Purrloin comes to the rescue, tapping the screen with a delicate paw. Does its grin seem wicked to anyone else?)

[Lightning had been in an awful mood since her birthday. Her Pokémon stealing her gear and having awkward text messages with strangers. One of her dearest friends here leaving. And now more drama on top of something she would rather forget.

Taking a break from buying supplies for the apartment she shared with Serah, Light browses the network, and almost drops her Gear.

Could that really be...?

She takes a deep breath and composes herself.]

There's not a lot of people that know me by that name here.

Did I give away the ending? (Fang doesn't look sorry for being a walking spoiler. Hey it's her life too, Light.) I met a cute blonde who knows you. If you stay put in Cerulean, I'll track down that ferry she mentioned.

(No question about whether they should meet up or not. It's gonna happen.)

Who else is here?

[YUP IT'S FANG ALRIGHT.]

Cute blonde? [She snorts. One of the only people that knew her as the Savior.] Naminé.

Face the Route entrance, then turn around. There's the ferry. We can meet you in Pallet Town, where it lands. Else it'll be about two more weeks before you see us in Cerulean.... and Serah's here.

That's the one! She seems the sort you would look after. (Mainly because she's the sort that would awaken Fang's guilty conscience too.)

Two weeks is nothin', though if you miss me that much...

She... She's a very sweet girl. [With a horribly tragic past. Of course Light wants to keep her safe.]

I could always go to another town with Serah, and just make you travel even further to see us.

I noticed. (Sweet is dangerous, though. They both know it.)

That hurts! You still don't pull your punches, do you?

You can take it.

[The Purrloin does manage to make her smile slightly.] Purrloin suits you. I started with a sheep myself. It was a Mareep. Named her Vanille, and she acted just like her namesake.

What if you're wrong? Won't you feel like a heel.

(That last part is grumbled before she grins.)

A sheep? Sunshine and a sheep. (It's a silly and sweet image.) Vanille loves anythin' fluffy. She'd be honored.

I don't know, I've seen you take some pretty good jabs.

[The nickname is back. Wonderful. She won't complain.] Except she's not so fluffy anymore. I'll take her out of the box for you to meet her. For now, the only ones I've got with me while shopping are my Lucario, Rapidash, and a Zorua.

I gotta learn on my feet around you!

(She lifts her hands in mock surrender, amusement making her eyes glow.)

Did you shave her? The wool could come in handy. (The names have her quickly looking through her index, nose wrinkled in confusion.) So...somethin' like a fox, a horse and...another fox? Tryin' to make a statement?

(No, she won't lower herself to saying "foxy".)

Edited 2015-09-09 01:46 (UTC)

Might be the only way you can keep up with me.

No. She evolved and lost most of her wool each time she did. [She raises an eyebrow.] Statement? No. If I wanted to make a statement, I'd have brought all six with me. And Beatrix, my Lucario, is a dog, not a fox.

[There's a bark of affirmation in the background before said Lucario peeks into the screen to wave.] She's friendly enough.

That's the only way anyone can keep up with you.

I'm a little fuzzy on how the evolving works. (So her Purrloin is gonna turn into a...Liepard.) Sorry there, Beatrix. I'll bring you a treat for the mix up, how's that?

(Oh but the joke. It could've been funny.)

Most dogs are. Cat on the other hand...

You'd have to ask Serah yourself if she feels the same.

It's easier to see it in action when your Pokémon hit that level, or you have a stone. Some of them are as complicated as certain weather conditions, affection, or friendship. [Beatrix nods, looking rather happy about that suggestion.

Lightning chuckles softly.]

I have a Liepard. When Selima was a Purrloin, she... well, she never was like the rest of her kind. She was sweet, loving, but got into everything. It only got worse when she evolved because she was bigger.

She's your exception. (Everyone gets one.)

So it's somethin' to look forward to; kinda like an achievement for our...little companions? (Good girl, Beatrix. Fang might end up walking around carrying you.

...yeah? Well Dia, Fang's Purrloin, is an antagonistic butt.

But would Fang have her any other way?

N o p e.)

I fear for the world once this one grows up.

I think I have a couple more exceptions in this place. [Naminé and a kid.]

Sort of. There's those who choose not to evolve. Vanille didn't want to for a long time until Hope convinced her. Hope was an Espurr, and now he's a Meowstic. You won't meet him unless you meet Naminé.

[It could be much, much worse.] I think my Tyrunt will have her beat. He's got a steel jaw and a bad chewing habit.
