nine waves ≈ did you realize we're standing under the mistletoe?

[cascadedwater]

There's something definitely wrong with most of the 'presents' we got here. I'm sure of it. [As she stares at her own two Pokeballs, Misty is quite unsure what to do with them. Open them? Find out the truth?

.... this is too hard of a choice, really.] Guys, what do you think I should do with my present, anyway?

What'd you get, Misty?

[cascadedwater]

.... Staryu and Starmie are in them. They don't seem to be injured or anything, though.

[10_year_old_kid]

Well, that's a good thing, right?

[cascadedwater]

I don't know. [ ... ] Should I check, just in case?

[k1_sauce]

Whatever you got, toss 'em.

[cascadedwater]

I would if they weren't living creatures.

[k1_sauce]

What is with this place...? I know you know whatever they are a lot better than I do, but...

Well, take it from someone that's seen this about thirty times. Don't believe whatever it is that may end up happening.

[cascadedwater]

I'm not stupid. I definitely won't trust them.

[Your not!dad was missing all morning.

He's now sitting in a chair, staring at the floor. Rincewined is mewing on his lap but he doesn't seem to notice.]

[cascadedwater]

Hey, are you alright...?

[likescats]

[It takes him a moment before looking at her.]

I DO NOT THINK I AM.

[cascadedwater]

Wait... what happened?

[noneed_2worry]

What did you get back?

[cascadedwater]

Two of my Pokemon, Staryu and Starmie. I ... don't know what I'm going to do, though. Should I really see if they're alright, or if something bad hasn't happened?

... I'm worried.

[noneed_2worry]

That's hard to say... I still can't get Piplup's Pokeball open at all.

[cascadedwater]

Don't give up, Dawn. I'm sure... that tomorrow -- it'll be fine.
