First… Glow? [Video]
[So… you know Route 31, right? Nice quiet forest path, cute little pond, entrance to Dark Cave… way too many ledges?
A couple of days after the Snorunt leave their blessings (or “blessings,” in some cases…), the PokéGear feed will open up to… a yelp! A young, very feminine, oh-so dignified yelp, and a camera showing lots of rolling dirt, grass, trees, a rock or two, flashes of the winter noon sky, and occasionally a ball of pink coat and LONG moon white curls! (Hopefully no one in the audience has a fear of heights or vertigo.)
Thankfully, the fall only lasts a few seconds, and the audio of a groan after a few seconds lets everyone know both the PokéGear and its owner still function. Well, at least the camera does. The bad news… well, when Allura attempts to inspect device, everyone gets a good look at her mud-splattered face, AND at least three small branches jammed into her hair!]
Oh no, please don’t be broken!

[Oh. The camera's on. And it's broadcasting. Quiznak...]
A-ah... hello, Rainer... [MY that is an impressive blush through all the mud on her face.] Y-yes, I'm fine. Just fine.
[And she means it, otherwise she wouldn't be fussing over the device first.]
Re: Video
[ She doesn't quite sound fine, but Rainer won't press. ]
How's your gear holding up from that fall?
no subject
[She's sure, although that "if you're sure" does get a blink-and-miss-it eyebrow.
As for the Gear... pardon her as Allura turns the device around a bit to inspect it.]
Aside from some mud and scuff marks... surprisingly intact, at least on the outside. I'll have to examine the functions after this call.
[Maybe a bag of rice before charging too, just to be safe.]
no subject
[ After all, they're built to withstand the trials and tribulations of ten year old kids out in the wild! ]
What was the reason for the tumble, if I can ask?
no subject
In short, I was chasing after one of my Pokémon. [As if on cue, a fluffy little Swablu lands on her messy head.] Kirlos is a Flying type... I am not.
no subject
[ In a way, Rainer's lucky that with her chair she's pretty confined to the paths with enough room for her. ]
I'm glad you're okay... And that Kirlos is, too!
no subject
Thank you, Rainer.
[And at least she'll have a buddy nearby to help her once she figures out her ankle's sprained.]
How have you been doing meanwhile?
no subject
[ She feels a little bad for bragging when her friend is obviously having a rough go of it, but her health has been doing better this month than it has in years! ]
no subject
[Thankfully, Allura isn't usually prone to envy others' good fortune.]
Good, I'm glad to hear that.

Route 31, at the moment. Keith and I wanted to spend Christmas and New Year's with out friends from home, and we just started from Cherrygrove City.
no subject
[ But more importantly... ]
Who's Keith? Anyone I should know about, hmm?
no subject
[... Rainer, why are you looking at her like that?]
Ah, Keith is a friend and fellow paladin from my world. We decided to travel together for the Gym Challenge.
[That's all. Tooootally all. It's not like they've exchanged cheek kisses for mistletoe AND New Year's. SHUSH.]
no subject
[ Oh she is definitely looking at Allura Like That™. ]
Just a friend, or... Could there be something more?
no subject
[Aaaaaand Allura is looking at Rainer like this.]
No, there couldn't. [Because she's convinced her crush is totally one-sided, like ya do.] Should I be making inquiries into your personal life, Rainer?
no subject
[ She holds up her hands in surrender. ]
Please, forgive me for overstepping. I'm just rooting for all my friends to find love, that's all.
no subject
[The "l" word makes Allura choke for a split second before she regains her composure. ... As much composure as she can given she's covered in mud and branches.]
It's all right, Rainer. I'm probably a touch irritable at the moment.
no subject
I don't blame you. It looks like a lot of people have been having a rough go of it this month.
[ Not her, though. She's never felt better! ]
