first crescent beam ♀ video/action for new bark town!

[outloving]

[ What happens when you're a newbie stranded in New Bark Town with nothing else to do? You manage to figure out how to use the PokéGear, and that is certainly what Minako has done after several frustrating attempts. It is hard being from the 1990s where pagers were what was all the rage, and there wasn't this new technology. Either way, there's a new face on the feed - a blonde-haired girl with blue eyes currently perched against a tree with a Luvdisc at her side. On her other side is the bento lunch that all the newcomers get, opened and halfway eaten as she continues to stuff her face with the food, looking a little miffed. ]

'kay, gotta be honest here, this whole journey thing kinda sucks. I mean, "Mom" made it seem like it was gonna be exciting, y'know? I was expecting to go on this huge adventure and maybe even meet some hotties while I'm at it! But nooooo. Instead, me and Aimi are stuck here in New Bark Town because of this elephant thing that's deciding to tear up everything on the route ahead.

[ Minako gives a huge sigh, complete with a slump of her shoulders. Usually she is a lot chipper than this, but she's boooored. And when she's bored, she's super whiny. ]

There's nothing to do here. Ugh, this is worse than studying for entrance exams...

[ ...Actually, no, studying for entrance exams is worse. Never mind. ]

No, I mustn't act like this...! Chin up, Minako! It's like what they say, there's no use in drinking spoiled milk!

[ Except literally nobody has said that ever... ]

Anyways, you guys should totally come talk to me! Don't be a stranger! I'll probaaaably be here for a while, so any and all company is welcomed. I'll even introduce myself to break the ice! [ She clears her throat and gives a bright smile. ] Introducing...Minako Aino! I'm sixteen years old and a first year high school student. My birthday's October 22nd, which is coming up pretty soon, so you should totally buy me presents! My favorite colors are red and orange, if you need any gift inspiration. [ It's June, and she's speaking as though her birthday is next week... ] I really like curry and ramen, but I hate shiitake mushrooms. What else is there...well, I guess you could say my hobby is idol-chasing, but I also really like watching TV, playing video games, and reading manga. Oh, and how could I forget...?! My most ultimate, most favorite thing to do of all time! Meeting cute boys!

[ She winks suggestively, as if trying to drop a hint for boys to come talk to her, which...of course she is. It's Minako. ]

So, yeah, you guys should tell me all about yourselves! In times like these, it's nice to make new friends, right?

Huuuh? Who'd actually want to waste their money buying books and supplies? ...Well, except for Ami-chan.

[ lol as if Minako would touch a book willingly... ]

No, no, you've gotta think bigger than that, Rakka-chan! You've gotta go after the more important things! Like buying all the ramen and curry you can eat, or actually buying all the volumes of a manga for once instead of having to borrow them from a friend...oh, and don't forget the video games! All the video games in the world! And if you don't have the consoles for them, you can buy those, too! And let's not forget cute clothes either - they're an essential for all girls to have! And...ooh, imagine this! You could buy a cute butler, too, who'd tell you things like "Good morning, Mistress!" or "How can I serve you today, my lady?" every day instead of having to go to a butler café, and...

[ Run while you can, Rakka. ]

Uh, me-- [whoops, okay here she goes.



uh



uhhhh]

...E-excuse me? Hello?

[outloving]

...Huh? Oh, sorry!

[ Not really. She knows she's a blabbermouth. ]

What were you gonna say?

[charcoalfeather]

[There is a distinct feeling here. One that says that apology is not meant for her.]

Uhh... [words, Rakka! Be brave!] I actually... don't use money a lot. As a matter of fact, back home I never used it. So, that's kind of why I don't know what I would buy for myself...

[ehehe....]

[ ...Minako is starting to feel very sorry for this girl because it seems as though she's been deprived out of all the fun things in life. Wow, very sad. ]

You mean you've never gotten an allowance from your parents? They're pretty small, especially if your parents are kinda stingy, but you should've at least gotten something.

[ No school isn't bad at all, but no money? ]

[charcoalfeather]

[Fun things like money were just something she never really... got. It's sad, I know.

Rakka's mouth falls open to speak, and it just as quickly closes.]

... No, I... I didn't. [shit uh. how much of her guts does she want to spill to this girl?] If they did, then... I wouldn't be able to remember it.
