victory_road | 19th Zapfish [Video, Olivine City...outskirts?]

[The scene opens up on the back of a ferry - you can tell it's the back because the boat leaves a distinct V-shaped crest as it sails away from Olivine City, the lighthouse of which stands dark because on a bright and sunny winter day, why would you need to turn the light on? A Tepig and an Octillery are chilling out against the railing, making small astonished sounds at how quickly the land is shrinking out of sight, while a Malamar keeps a gentle tentacle on the Tepig's back to keep it steady, so it doesn't fall into the water. And behind the 'gear, there's the distinct sound of someone blowing a raspberry.]

Bye, ya stinky ol' winter! Bye dumb snow! Woohoo!

[Oh. It's just Thida. She turns the 'gear around to reveal her infectiously gleeful grin.]

'M goin' to th'islands! So, if y'look for me at home, 'm not there, 'kay? Might not be back for a while!

[She pauses, then, an actually thoughtful look crossing her face as she realizes something.]

...Oh. Wait. Krieg? Krieg, I dunno which island y'live on. Which one is it?

[Oops.]

[Unable to help himself, Noct is definitely laughing.]

Have fun on the islands for me alright?

[He knows she will but he's saying it anyway.]

I may head out there way in a couple weeks to pick up a new Magikarp.

Aaaah! You shoooould! I'll see you there if y'do!

[NEW KARP NEW KARP]

Definitely! If you're up for it, we can pay a visit to the research center Armin works at and see the Wailmers if you'd like. They're pretty amazing!

Ooh! Okay, where's that?

[Is this going to be a tour-de-force of all the islands]

Four Island. It's definitely worth checking out if you've never been there before. The Wailmers are amazing and super friendly.

That's th'one Krieg's on!

[aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

I'll be there t'see 'em! What're Wailmers like? Big or small?

Big! But really gentle and super friendly. Carbuncle loves to ride on their backs when he can.

'N they just let him? It's okay? He's light, but they don't mind?

Nope. I mean, he made sure to ask permission first but they were all really nice and just wanted to play. Armin said they made sure to pick the most friendly and gentle Wailmer to keep inside the big enclosure at the research center that way whenever people do interact with them they don't have to worry much.

Four!

[Awww yeah, Thida's coming to visit--wait.]

But I'm not there right now!

[THIS IS A DISASTER! D:]

Four, okay - ah, I'll wait! Can wait there, it's okay!

[You don't even know what's on the island]

Sugar's probably still there!

[Though he knows Shiro was planning on traveling soon.]

And if he's not, I don't think Blondie's going anywhere!

Oh! And you can use my hammock on the porch if you need somewhere to sleep!

Ah yeah! 'S warm enough t'sleep outside there, right? Okay! Thank you!!

[Thida honey]

I'll help 'n stuff! I know how t'do house stuff!

Yeah! It's really nice outside even in winter! I only use one blanket but if you want more you can ask!

I'll come back soon and help you swim.

If it's warm, it's okay for just one.

[Warm places...she's getting excited just thinking about it.]

Ah...! 'M gonna do my best, 'kay?

Yeah! I hope you like it! But if you don't that's okay too!!

[He is excited to help Thida learn how to do a new thing.]

And we can get ice cream after no matter what.

Like it or not...should prob'ly learn. Right?

[She wants to learn. So, even if she's afraid, part of her might not be as afraid.]

Ooh! What kinda ice cream they got there?

Escaping winter with an island visit sounds great! Do you have any activities planned, or will you just spend your time enjoying the warmth and the sunshine?

[Or enjoying the sunshine during activities, that works too.]

Edited 2019-02-06 15:39 (UTC)

'M gonna learn t'swim! And...stuff.

[Whatever stuff there is to do.]

You're going to learn to swim in the sea? That's pretty ambitious. Probably more fun than learning in a pool, though.

Ah, not gonna start there..prob'ly gonna be in a pond first. With water wingies. 'N Pokemon t'help.

If you choose your pond well, they might not even be your Pokémon. I bet the fish and other Water-types there have a few tips to share.

Maybe. Gonna be nice anyways. If they live there, 's their home.

[She will try not to flail too badly.]

As long as you don't kick them in the face accidentally, I'm sure they won't mind your presence. Otherwise, they'd have chased people away a long time ago.

Guess so.

[She's quiet for a moment, thinking about it.]

...'S gonna be hard t'swim, but, 'm gonna try.
