victory_road | [Video/Action] New Bark Town

[As the video feed switches on, there is a very timid and frightened girl on the screen. She's sitting on the bed in the house that she woke up in a day or so ago. After meeting up with a strange old man, being given a ball and this gear, she was lost, upset and ended up back at the very same house. A kind woman has taken her back in but it's quite clear that the woman was now hoping the young girl would soon set out on her journey. Like the others...

There was a skiddo on the bed next to her, her head resting on her lap and watching up at her with wide eyes. This skiddo has felt Prim's loneliness and pain. She feels it every time Prim runs her hand over her horns. And she didn't know how to make her trainer feel better.

Prim's making this Gear post out because of the suggestion of the kind woman. If there was somebody she was desperately looking for, this would be the way.

There were tears brimming on her eyes as she tries to stare into the camera of her gear.]

Katniss...? They said that...if you were here, you would see this and contact me. I don't know where I am...and last time...

[Her voice catches for a moment and she tries to clear her throat.]

Last time I saw you...they were forcing you onto that train. And...I really want to see you again.

Please come take me home....

[There is a moment that the video hangs as she tries to figure out how to turn off the recording and just before the clip ends, you could faintly hear her begin to cry, with the skiddo making soft soothing sounds towards her]

[ooc: I promise Prim won't always be so sad. She just needs some love at the moment! She will desperately pick up any messages sent to her gear in the hopes that it's her sister. Or if anybody would like to coax her out into the world, please visit her in the random house in New Bark Town that she's hiding in!]

[ Being stuck in this town meant that Minako had plenty of time to scroll through the network, and one post in particular stood out to her. She could see a young girl who appeared to be in distress, and while she isn't necessarily the best with children, she can't just ignore this. The tone of her voice and the glimpse of tears just before she turned off the Gear is enough to tug at Minako's heartstrings. She assumes that the girl is somewhere in New Bark Town, given that she is a new arrival, but she's not going to just go on a wild goose chase looking for the girl just yet. She's already frightened, so Minako decides it'll be better to talk and calm her down via the network first before going to meet her in person. ]

Hey, um...I know you're scared, but I promise you this place isn't bad. There are so many friendly faces here, and I can assure you we'll all try to help you in any way we can. So, please...don't cry anymore, okay?

[ The poor thing - and then she was brought here while everything was chaotic, too. ]

My name's Minako, can you tell me yours? And what does this "Katniss" look like...?

[Coming from the Panem into a world where everybody was so friendly was a little unnerving. When you're from such a poor district, you're so used to people not helping one another out unless there was something more to gain from it. She almost tries to pull back from the screen but her skiddo nudges her to remain where she is. Her voice is soft when she speaks, almost hesitant to continue this contact.]

My sister has really pretty dark brown hair and she wears it in a long plait usually. One plait down her back. And she's really strong and brave. And...she doesn't smile very much.

[Talking about Katniss brings a tiny smile to her face. That's the one thing that can be counted on to help her cheer up just a little.]

[ Oh, a smile! That's a sign that they're getting somewhere. The sight is enough to make Minako smile, too. ]

I guess that's where you get it from, huh? You're being really strong and brave, too.

[ Which was true, as far as Minako was concerned. Sure, the girl was frightened and disoriented - who wouldn't be? - but she seemed to be handling the situation as well as she could, and that was what Minako considered being brave. ]

I promise you I'll keep a look out for your sister. If I see her, I'll let you know first thing, okay? [ A promise that she intended to keep. Minako didn't see anyone who fit that description around New Bark Town, but she wasn't about to give up hope. Just like she was brought here, she had a strong feeling that this Katniss would arrive, too. Now, what else should she say to help this girl calm down...? ]

Have you given your friend a name yet?

[She shakes her head at the mention of being brave. There was no way she would be able to be compared to her sister. Katniss was definitely in a league of her own. She settles down into the bed, chewing on her lower lip lightly and appearing slightly anxious.]

Okay. Katniss would definitely want to see me...

[She was sure of it. At the query about the name of her skiddo she looks down at her pokemon.]

Lady. I had a goat back at home...she was also called Lady.

Lady, huh? That's a cute name.

[ Minako gives her a bright smile. She's doing everything she can to try and keep this girl calm, but she's running out of options. She doesn't dare ask about the girl's home, recalling that on her initial post, she spoke about her sister being forced onto a train. It doesn't sound pleasant from the sounds of it, so she hopes that talking about Pokémon will help the girl open up a bit more. ]

Would you like to see mine? Her name's Aimi.

[The distraction was a good one and Prim was beginning to open up to talking more to this stranger on her little monitor thing. She tips her head a little and then nods.]

Aimi...sounds like a really cute name. Is yours like Lady?

[She's seen a few pokemon but really, how many types could there be?]

She's a Pokémon like yours, but she's not the same creature.

[ Following those words, Minako pans the camera over to her starter: a pink, heart-shaped creature. The Luvdisc chirps happily at the camera as a greeting towards Prim. ]

According to the Gear, she's called a Luvdisc. Cute, right?
