[Video/Action] New Bark Town - Introduction

[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!]

[Well shit. Most of the new arrivals have been pretty calm and easy going about the whole thing. It's been kind of weird, really. But this...this is more what Jimmy expects.]

Hey, don't you worry about a thing! I know this all seems scary, but you're okay. I swear it. And a swear from Jimmy Darling's like gold. You're in a safe place, and nobody's gonna hurt you or anything like that. We all went through the same thing, when we came here.

I dunno anyone named Katniss...is that a relative or a friend? Lots of new people are showing up...

[And there's plenty of people he doesn't know.]

[ The view on her end is of a hotel room with the lights down low and curtains drawn. She's keeping the view fixed on her own face. Yang was doing her best not to appear alarmed but the stranger's plight has fully caught her attention. ]

Hey. Hey, listen — it's okay. You're going to be okay. [ Yang couldn't ignore this broadcast. There was not a lot of energy she had to spare for most people who were just disoriented or unhappy, but she'll be damned if she passed up the sight of a kid in distress, calling out for someone so desperately. ]

[Oh geeze. It's time for new arrivals again, looks like, but this girl...Jimmy's been here for a while, and he hasn't seen anyone this upset in a long time. The fact that he caught her starting to cry before shutting off the feed has Jimmy answering right away, trying to keep his expression as level and friendly as possible.]

Hey there...is everything alright? I see that a couple folks have already talked to you, but I just wanted to be extra sure you got the help you need.

[He pauses, glancing over at his Manectric, who is watching the Gear quietly along with his trainer.]

My name's Jimmy. I promise I'll help you out any way I can, okay? Now...you say you're lookin' for someone called Katniss?

[Unfortunately, he's never heard of someone like that here...but that doesn't mean there isn't a chance she won't show up.]

[ 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...?

[BAM- BAM- BAM--

What is this super heavy pounding. It's Mafuyu, trying to put her fist through the door as she shouts at the top of her lungs to whoever's living inside to let her inside]

Mom!! Open up! It's an emergency!! Life or death!!!!

[She's been holding it all day, she needs to pee.]

_{[OH... this girl sounds so sad...]

[Wrath may have all the empathy of a chunk of sawdust, but seeing other sad kids is kind of upsetting.]

[He wrings his hands for a little while before deciding to answer.]}

Um, I don't know what a 'catness' is, but I know what a cat is.

Would you like to see a cat?

_{[He waits earnestly for an answer. THERE ARE MULTIPLE CATS IN THIS HOUSE THAT HE COULD SHOW HER, ALL SHE HAS TO DO IS SAY THE WORD.]}

[ While Rosa wouldn't necessarily refer to herself as an expert when it came to crying children, she has learned a little with her short time with a traumatized seven year old. Putting on her bravest face, she answers her pleas as many likely have before her. ]

That's a lovely companion you have with you. [ Redirecting her focus onto something she can control and talk about may be the best manner to handle this until she's earned some trust. ]

Have you given them a name? [ Turning her camera towards the water, there's a Dratini splashing around outside happily. Long and slender, he appears to be enjoying himself to the fullest. ] This is Caine, named after a dear friend of mine I miss and I am Rosa, from Baron.

We are out here by the water if you wished to join us. We have sweets and the sun feels nice, I assure you. [ Come on, it'll do her some good if she sits outside a bit. ]

[After seeing the feed, Luna struggles with her own thoughts; should she give the girl some time to calm down or should she rather talk to her and try to cheer her up? In the end, she decides to go with the latter, putting up a soft smile despite being worried about Prim.]

H-Hello. My name is Luna and I've just seen you a little while before on the network. [Explaining herself sounds like a good idea, that's why she did just that.] May I ask for your name? Of course, if you'd rather not tell me, that's fine too. [There's no reason for Prim to trust a complete stranger, after all.] Are you still in that city where the newcomers appear?

[It's safe to assume that, but she'd like to be sure.]

If that's the case, could I visit you?
