[Video/Action] New Bark Town - Introduction

[ducktailprim]

 [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!]

[WRATH IS GONNA SHOW HER SO MANY CATS.]

[He declines to comment on the name 'Buttercup', because he's busy sliding off the couch (where he'd been sitting previously) and starting his search for the various feline Pokemon that reside with him, wherever it might be.]</sub>

I don't have any sisters to show you.

But there's plenty of cats.

Like this one. Here.

_{[He PLOPS DOWN ON THE FLOOR and Prim is treated to a VERY close-up shot of-- is that an enormous blue lion just ASLEEP IN THE HALLWAY]}

[She settles down onto her bed in a more comfortable sitting position, her skiddo now resting on her lap and also watching the screen. Prim was getting a little excited to see what kind of cat was going to come on the screen when --]

It's blue! The cats here are blue...?

[Her eyes widen as she backs away from the screen just a little, unsure of what to think. This definitely didn't look like her buttercup. There was a little frown which was more out of confusion than anything.]

Not all of them, but this one is!

_{[Wrath's pale little and appears in the frame, patting the sleepy Luxray's mane without a trace of fear.]}

His name is, um, Xerxes.

He makes the air staticky when he shakes his mane.

Re: [Video]

[ducktailprim]

[Making the air staticky sounded really strange but it made a little sense. If she spent too long brushing Buttercup, sometimes things would stick to him. Maybe this was the same thing.

The fact that he was able to pat the giant blue ball without anything bad happening started to interest her.]

Can I...pat him too..?

[Video]

[garbagechild]

... Well, no.

You're not here.

I don't know where you are.

_{[He doesn't say this derisively or accusingly. Just matter-of-factly, as though he was stating that she had blond hair or was a girl or any other random benign observation.]}

... But if you ever come to the house of my friends, you can. Xerxes likes being petted.

Re: [Video]

[ducktailprim]

I'm...in that place that people appear in when they come here.

[Or so that's what she's been told.]

They keep telling me to leave and that I need to go on a big adventure but I don't want to leave.

It's safer in here.

[She looks around the small house that she's stayed in.]

But...I do want to go to your house and pat Xerxes too.

Really? When I got here, I was in a big building and I had to stay for awhile. _{[But that's the secret Rocket HQ policy so shhhhh.]}

I'm in a city where all the buildings are yellow.

If you go there, there's a house that I live in sometimes and that's where Xerxes is. There's lots of other Pokemon here too.
