starspangledavenger[The video is jostled and seemingly accidental. There's a Mudkip and a Shieldon fussing with it. It's hard to tell, but they seem either excited or frantic. Steve isn't in sight, neither is Grace or Amber, who are always with the man.
It only lasts a moment before the Shieldon headbutts the device and ending the video in static.]
[About thirty minutes later, a text message comes up on the network.]
Wher human centr? Yong 1s upset, amber lef, sam down. Need joy.
((OOC: Grace is using text and will likely reply sparingly. So I'm not ignoring responses, she just ignores what she doesn't understand or doesn't like. Also very typo'd, she's still learning to read and write human.))

He doesn't have Hope with him right now, but he does have his Porygon in his Gear to hopefully be able to add subtitles or at least some kind of translation, and that should be enough.]
What's your location? [His tone of voice is calm enough, but has a hint of what he uses to command mercenaries and Academia soldiers all the way back when he was still Director. He's not interested in being ignored, thanks.]

Date: 2013-08-26 11:49 pm (UTC)[Okay Hope. Getting annoyed is not going to help.
Okay.
There's only one forest in the entirety of Johto: Ilex Forest, save for the dense forest-like areas elsewhere, so obviously they're there.]
Where's Steve?

Date: 2013-08-27 12:56 am (UTC)He'd honestly ask her what landmarks she sees but... they're just trees anyway.]
What city did you come from?

Date: 2013-08-27 01:42 am (UTC)It's a good thing Academia is taking control and pulling up a map on the Gear for Hope to see. So he starts giving Grace directions to Goldenrod. He thinks they'd be there because he did promise they'd meet there even if he cant be in the city right now.
And he knows that Nurse Joy the best.]

Damn. But at least she's looking for help.
Can you tell me what happened? Did someone attack you?

Date: 2013-08-27 07:41 am (UTC)Not this. No.

One of the other l'Cie you haven't met yet is Snow-- he's Serah's fiancé. I didn't like him at first. To a tiny boy, he was full of hot air and empty promises of being a hero. But he did have his moments.
One of my favorite moments was when Lightning punched him, twice. And he fell over both times, despite being several inches taller than her, and likely double her size and weight.

Date: 2013-08-29 10:40 am (UTC)One of the others is Sazh-- he's the eldest of all of us. [Well, physically and mentally anyway.] He has a son whom I'd only met after the Fall. Sazh though, we'd crossed paths once before becoming a l'Cie-- strange, isn't it? He had been the airship pilot for a school trip of mine though, so we didn't have any interaction.
Apparently he'd bought his son a pet chocobo chick-- a bird, essentially-- just before the problem with the fal'Cie and it continued to stay with him throughout the whole ordeal.
It usually sat in his hair, though it would come out at times. Once, in Gran Pulse, he'd been the one to lead us to a flock of Pulsian chocobos because apparently he knew the smell of them just by having the chick around all the time. And he may have either become immune or used to the smell thanks to the chick because the smell of a chocobo, Pulsian or Cocoon, is just downright terrible.
Even I cant take it for long periods of time, and I had had to use them as transportation for Academy business.

Date: 2013-08-30 10:50 am (UTC)And they're intelligent. I tend to see them as the most intelligent animals in our world, because they're able to understand human speech and even attempt their own ways of communicating with us-- Sazh's chick certainly had a lot to say and react to various situations.

Date: 2013-09-01 12:33 pm (UTC)Though I do envy them sometimes-- they can be up there in the sky. Using the move Fly can only do so much when you're on the back of a Pokémon. You just don't have wings on your own, so you cant feel it for yourself, especially when it's a good day and you're under the sun.
Being free to be under the sky and the sun is probably why I like birds. Similarly, I may just like the sky and sun as well.
[Oh no Hope are you going on a tangent.]
Though speaking of sun... one day we should just go to the beach again, in Olivine. This world is hectic and we would all benefit from a break. All of us.
And well, Olivine at least does have a lot of good memories all around, right? As we did first meet there, Steve. It should be good for us. [... Aaaand he pauses and blinks, because he's just gotten a realization. Because yes, it's a realization that he's probably blurted out something he had told himself he'd not say till he himself had gotten it figured out.]
