113. [Video/Action for Mahogany]

[foolishwren]

<sub>[The Noctowl's exasperation and general disapproval pretty much radiates off the screen.]

[It's a nice day in one of the small parks that are scattered on the outskirts of Mahogany (before it turns into forested, mountainous terrain, anyway), and this video broadcast from the 'Gear of one Heather Mason is showing a pair of Murkrow out to corrupt an innocent young Eevee. ... Or, you know, they just want to play and Claudy is living up to her reputation by being an old bag and not letting them. Could be either. Or both.]

[There's a lot of bright glinting going on, though-- which can be attributed to the shimmery pink Murkrow next to Wren. She's a newer addition to the team, apparently.]

[And the inter-generational bird drama unfolding on the screen seems to be a backdrop to why Heater's really filming, given that her voice cuts in with a question entirely unrelated to what's going on.]</sub>

So hey guys, been awhile since I posted anything, n'I've been feeling kinda sappy and nostalgic and crap.

I know there aren't too many people around anymore who got here when I did, but pretty sure unless you got here last week, we've all had at least one person go poof on us.

So, uh, let's have this be a thing where you tell me something about someone you knew who isn't here anymore. Bonus points for funny. Or you could like... I dunno. Talk about a Pokemon they left you or something.

_{[The camera lingers briefly over the pink Murkrow, who is happily chattering away at the Noctowl, oblivious to the fact that she's being filmed. ... Maybe the request isn't so unrelated, after all.]}

Really? ...I don't really like carousels much anymore.

[Considering that he was on one when his dad just walked off and left him in the park.]

I mean, carousels are for little kids.

[...nice save.]

[foolishwren]

_{[She caught that-- sort of-- but just smiles.]}

Heh, yeah, I'm not a real big carousel fan either.

_{[Too many bad memories. They can bond over their harrowing merry-go-round experiences.]}

[neededlassie]

[They could bond over a lot of traumatic experiences, tbh. Traumachildren club for life.]

Do you like to ride Carousel - I mean, your Rapidash. Or do you like flying better?

[GONNA KINDA. NOT TALK ABOUT CAROUSELS.]

[foolishwren]

_{[Good point.]}

Well, I've been sort of teaching myself to ride. Carmen and Sheriff Truman got me started-- well, before the Sheriff left, anyway.

Gettin' better at it, slowly but surely.

But I do probably like flying better, yeah.

[neededlassie]

I think I'd probably like riding Cali, but I'm not really tall enough to get up on his back on my own.

Have you ever fallen off?

What kind of pokemon do you like to fly on?

[foolishwren]

Yeah, I fell off a lot when I started. Less now.

As for flyin'... well, riding Sunny is practically like riding a cloud. Totally smooth.

Not too fast, though.

I guess the only other one I can really ride is Hurricane... _{[But she admittedly hasn't flown on him ever since that incident a couple summers ago that she really doesn't like reminding herself of.]}

[neededlassie]

I've never fallen off of one of my fliers, but I think I'm almost too tall to ride Chase now...

[It's a lot harder to hold onto a flying Charizard when you're only like six inches shorter than said Charizard.]

But Giant knows Fly too now, and he's so big he can almost just carry me in his hands.

[foolishwren]

I fell off of Sunny a LOT at first.

_{[Fortunately, she'd been smart enough to start out flying LOW.]}

What's Giant?
