29 - video/action for goldenrod, saffron, and then celadon!

[islandshore]

[So, Riku was minding his own business, just embracing the happy feelings, fighting some Pokémon, and then he encountered a Gardevoir. And that Gardevoir happened to be a bit of a troll... So, when the feed begins, there's a lovely shot of Riku falling face-flat on the ground... somewhere in the Breeding Center? Odd.

Oh, and it looks like Xion's close by.]

--huh?

[ Is Xion's small response to the sudden appearance of her friend falling on his face, followed by a roar that could only come from her Garchomp, Bahamut. Xion's posture is kneeling, pausing to reach out for the strange egg she found beside her when she woke up. She blinks, fully turning her head, her right eye covered behind a patch as she stares in confusion. ]

Riku? What are you... [ She straightens and quickly goes to try and help Riku up. ]

[And Riku smiles... a bit wider than usual. He seems extremely happy to see her for some reason, and once he's back on his feet...]

Hey, thanks.

[Still... smiling. There's a sound of creepy white noise mixed with cackling that can only be described as the stuff of nightmares as Phantom focuses the camera in on both Riku and Xion. This is the perfect chance for comedy gold.]

[ Xion smiles back, if touched with a little confusion and curiosity at the way he's just... smiling. ]

Aha... are you okay, Riku? How'd you even get here like... this... whatever "this" is.

[Riku shrugs. Really, he was just minding his own business, and then...]

Probably one of the Pokémon. Thought about catching it, but then I wound up here.

[Hmm, okay. So the targets are in place... Have more eerie cackling, followed by some weird... slobbery sounds, as Phantom pulls out some treats from his enormous mouth. C'mere, little Garchomp.]

[ Grar! Bahamut opens his mouth in surprise at the treats! Oh, oh, he wants some! Xion merely glances to see what he's on about, but shakes her head and turns back to Riku. ]

You mean the Pokemon that have been appearing around and out of towns? You're not hurt, are you? [ She steps closer, but retakes it as Bahamut zooms past to get at those treats! ]

Nah, don't worry about it. I'm just--

[He takes a step over to her, but his foot collides with Bahamut's tail, sending him flying straight at Xion. Oh yes. This... is... perfect. Phantom's barely holding back his laughter now.]

Mm?!

[ Bliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiink. Blink. Blink. Riku's face is really close. Well. Ah, it's sort of on her, and their lips...

At the very least, now she knows what this is. But she hasn't pulled away. She's just sort of... shocked. Surprised. And maybe a little... well, there's something going on in her chest, hammering loudly in her ears and speeding up with each passing second this goes on.

Meanwhile...

Gobble gobble goes Bahamut on the treats. ]

[Yeah, and Riku... doesn't pull away either. Part of it's because of the giddy feelings clouding his perception a bit, but it's also kind of... nice. Nope, nothing awkward going on here. But after a few moments he'll pull back and smile almost sheepishly. Oh, and then he laughs.]

My bad. Sorry about that, Xion.

[ Xion quickly shakes her head. Her cheeks are warm, and she doesn't know she might be blushing a very bright red. ]

No! No, it's fine... It was... an accident. I mean, I guess it makes up for the last time we did that, huh?

[And then the feed ends! Click.]

[Later on, Riku can be found around Goldenrod, but he'll be getting warped back by that same Trolldevoir later. Somewhere in between he'll also be in Saffron. Fun!]

[ooc: Blue = Xion. Xion may be responding to some tags. Also, Riku's high on event feelings.]

Comments

[action] how can one get high on feelings- oh wait

[ordalias]

[ After recovering from the odd... instance earlier, Xion goes back and picks up the mysterious egg she woke up to. ]

So... you're really okay, Riku? [ Other than being... well, it wouldn't really be odd, per se, but she really hasn't seen Riku like this before. ]

[action] magic. That's how

[islandshore]

Yeah, don't sweat it.

[La de da. He might be... following her.]

Really, it's no big deal.

[action]

[ordalias]

[ She nods eagerly, then. If he says to not mind it... at the very least, he wasn't flustering like their previous instance had. At least she's knowledgeable about it more! ]

If you say so... Ah! Sorry about Bahamut. I don't know why he'd just rush off like that.

[ Indeed, Bahamut's just chewing on some treats she doesn't know where he got. ]

[lif]

[ TORN BETWEEN LAUGHTER AND DESPAIR. ]

Riku.

[video]

[islandshore]

Hey.

[SMILING. Oh yes, we so happy.]

[lif]

[ Still torn. At least she's been affected by the good mood as well? Her voice is calm, like she's just asking about how his day was. ]

What the hell was that?

Re: [video]

[ordalias]

Ah, Fang! [ Small wave. ]

[Video]

[soggypastry]

[Normally Lightning would be rather angry about this, but the good vibes are infectious and she only shakes her head with a sigh. Really?]

You should keep a closer eye on your Pokémon, you know.

[Video]

[ordalias]

Yeah, sorry about that.

[ At least on part of Bahamut. The good vibes only just make Xion sound casual when she's saying this though. ]

[Video]

[islandshore]

Not like I've got eyes in the back of my head.

[That's said with less frustration than usual, at least.]</small. Besides, we're both fine.

[ghostdrives]

[She's only just got here, and she's getting to know all the kids again, but this...

Okay, she kinda admits it's cute.]

I think you need to keep a better eye on your Pokemon and your gear.

And what happened last time?

[ordalias]

That's Phantom for you. But I know Bahamut had a part in it, so... sorry.

... uh. It was also another accident? [ More bushing, yes. ]

[islandshore]

That's what people keep saying.

[Gosh, way to put pressure on 'em.]

As for last time, it was another kiss. Xion didn't get what it meant, so I can't really blame her.

[video]

[adamant]

[...did you guys get the message yet? 'Cause if not--]

You should keep a better eye on Phantom, Riku.




[Yes because IT'S ALWAYS RIKU'S FAULT.]

[video]

[ordalias]

It isn't just Riku's fault, Leon.

[video]

[islandshore]

No point in repeating it.

[Seriously, man. Lighten up!]

[suzakufeather]

[What Yukiko didn't expect to see - even if this is the time to be getting all these kind of feelings - is her new friend Xion kissing a boy.

It makes her smile into the camera, slightly drunk on the mood as she is, actually.]

I wasn't aware you had a boyfriend, Xion.

video;

[islandshore]

Boyfriend?

[And then Phantom cackles. It's a creepy, inhuman cackle that sounds like the stuff of nightmares.

...yet Riku doesn't seem remotely phased.]

Actually, he just--

[And then Phantom pushes him aside and winks. Yes, giant, floating Haunter face that's almost as big as Riku. Crazy.]

video;

[ordalias]

[ Never mind Riku, Xion blinks at the term. ]

"Boyfriend?" Well, he's a boy, and he is my friend, so... yeah.

video;

[illusioning]

Now the question is whether you're going to regret that in the morning.

[Yes, he's making it sound as though they're drunk. It doesn't matter if it's Johto doing this.]

video;

[islandshore]

Why would we? Not like we planned it.

[And the most deadpan look from the Haunter in the background. Guh, dense trainer is dense.]

video;

[ordalias]

What do you mean by that?

video

[gochuugoku]

[There's a fond smile on China's face.]

I still remember my first kiss, aru.

video

[ordalias]

Your first?

video

[islandshore]

See, the funny thing about that is that it wasn't our first.
