Second Dress--Cherrygrove City--Video/Action

[daddydothis]

[Another video from Lottie, folks. This time, she's standing under a tree and she looks a total mess. Just...don't mention anything--hair, dress, make-up, anything. She's trying not to freak out again.]

Midori, honey, I'm in Cherrygrove now, an' I'm real lost, not t'mention that Rar--

[Merlin attempts a smile when he begins speaking into the Gear--he's tired and worried, yes, but it looks like this woman needs a bit of reassurance.]

You're lost?

[daddydothis]

[Lottie tries to smile back]

Well, I know I'm in Cherrygrove, but I dunno anythin' else.

[Video]

[tiercelet]

That's all right. Cherrygrove's one of the smaller towns in Johto, so it shouldn't be too difficult to get your bearings.

What do you see when you look around you?

[daddydothis]

[She glances around]

Wet. Some buildin's, but I can't read any signs from here.

[ Cliff looks... worn out as all hell, but he manages something of a smile ] Nice to see you're still online.

[daddydothis]

[Lottie smiles, though she frowns when she realizes how tired Cliff looks] No bug's gonna get my soul, but y'look like one almost got yours, Cliff. You okay, sugah?

[getthehorns]

One of 'em got a friend of mine. I've been tryin' to find it.

[daddydothis]

Oh, dear. Don't suppose y've had any luck, findin' th'critter?

[her_mouse_jesty]

Oh, Charlotte, you poor dear... It'll be all right...

[daddydothis]

Y'Majesty!

[Lottie searches for her handkerchief, only to start crying a little more when she finds that it's been drenched]

I'm sorry, I must look an awful fright.

[her_mouse_jesty]

Don't worry about something like that, I'm just glad to see that you're okay.

[granted, not the best version of okay.]

I know things are rough, but you must get to the nearest town, and stay inside. Those bugs won't go inside buildings.

I'm in Cherrygrove, right now, but I ain't 'xactly sure how t'get anywhere in this town.

[moe_moe_plz]

I...

[FINDING RIGHT WORDS. SHE WANTS TO CALM HER DOWN SOMEHOW. Bawww. Miyuki is just thankful she's okay.]

I'm just thankful your soul hadn't been taken.

[daddydothis]

You an' me both, sugah. Glad you're okay, too.

[moe_moe_plz]

Oh, thank you~.

Have you found a place to stay safe? There's an inn in town that you could probably go. That is where I am.

[daddydothis]

I'm lookin' for Midori, pretty sure she's safe.

[ This is clearly an excellent time to have reached Cherrygrove. Minato has wandered through town, having taken the time to purchase an umbrella and dry off at the Pokemon Centre before striking out again. And then...we see this.

Hero instincts, activate! Minato wanders over, looking curious. ]

...you okay?

action;

[daddydothis]

No! I'm wet, I'm cold, people're gettin' soul-napped, an' there're people from th'future here!

[Not a good day for Lottie]

action;

[ofmywill]

Mn. That's true.

[ Welp, only one thing to do! Minato covers the rest of the distance to hold the umbrella over her, other hand tucked into his pocket. ]

Better get out of the rain, first.

[Lottie smiles, standing up and trying to fix her dress]

Thank ya. I'm Charlotte, by the way.
