Second Flutter [Video/Action For Cherrygrove]

Feb 06, 2011 17:55

[The Video turns on, on purpose, as Fluttershy sits in a PokeCenter. Her eyes, red and a bit puffy, give off the impression she's been crying for a while. Celest the Togepi, as always, is snug in her embrace.]

[ After...pretty much sleeping off an illness for the past few days, Machi had finally gone out to make sure that her Pokémon-thing was okay...and then she'd run into this scene. After she debates what to do for a short while, have her walking over slightly, looking very unsure.

So quietly that the pony may not hear it over her crying: ] What's....wrong?

[But she does hear! Startled, she stares at Machi, clutching Celest close. But Celest is happy to see you, and waves, giving a happy chirp of 'Priii, Priii!' And since Celest is fine with you, Fluttershy will reply.]

I... I... I need a... job.

[ Machi is...seemingly startled by Celest, but at least it doesn't look like this Pokémon will attack. Hesitant wave in the Togepi's direction. ]

A...job? [ She knows nothing about jobs, so she takes a minute or four to think. ] Maybe ask if....someplace is hiring?

[That... doesn't help much. But Celest is happy, so Fluttershy holds her up.]

...This is Celest. ... She says hi.

[ Unhelpful is probably Machi's middle name. She manages not to flinch when the egg is held up, though, so that's good. ]

....Hello, Celest. [ Nods in greeting. ]

[Celest just makes a big 8D face, happily waving. I LIKE YOU.]

... My name is... Fluttershy...

[ Machi reaches out hesitantly to pat Celest on the head. SHE HAS NEVER BEEN LIKED BEFORE; WHAT DO? ]

It is.....nice to meet you, Fluttershy-san. [ Pause. ] My name..is Machi.

[Celest makes little grabs at your fingers.

The pony just tilts her head, confused.]

'San'?

[ She is just...watching Celest play. ]

..Mm. I don't....want to be rude.

What's 'san'?

A-ah... [ How to explain...? ]

It's a...sign of respect.

[Respect, to Fluttershy? really? She blushes very deeply.]

Oh... thank you.

[ Machi just quietly nods in response. She's used to being polite. ]

And thank you... for trying to help...

[ ...Give her a minute to think of what she's supposed to say. Social stuff is hard. ]

I hope you...find a job soon.
