Five: (Voice/Action for people in Violet City)
[For those who happen to be in the PokéCenter earlier in the morning, you may have seen a nervous looking Aerith sitting on a bench, holding onto Omari the Poliwag, for a change. That nightmare was way too real, and she couldn't find Zack anywhere. But...it was silly, really, to think that he would be swallowed into the earth. Flowers can't drag people into the lifestream, or even into the ground for that matter.
Regardless, she can't bring herself to go outside and look around, check her flowers, or even to try and call Zack on the gear. She's too scared to move. If you tried to talk to her at the time, she put on a smile and said everything was fine, not budging on that fact.
Several hours later, after convincing herself it was just a dream, she finally left the PokéCenter. Her flowers wouldn't take care of themselves, after all.]
[The feed starts with a loud THUNK.
There's a sharp gasp. It's barely audible, something is clearly muffling all sounds coming from the other end of the PokéGear. Sounds of unstable running come across more clearly, followed by an indistinct yell. The desperate cry of someone's name, almost audible. What's slightly more clear is the shouts after that...]
NO! No you can't take him! Don't--!
[The thump of a body hitting the ground can be heard. The voice gets weaker. Can you hear that? That's the sound of a sob in her voice.]
No...No no no no--
[The body moves, followed by the sound of tearing and ripping and crumbling of soil.]
Give him back, you can't--give him back, give him back!!
[Suddenly, everything stops.
For a long time, the only sound that can be heard is shaky breathing and quiet sobbing. Eventually, the sounds stop, and not long after, the feed times out.]
[[ooc: Aerith is sitting in what used to be her small flower patch, at the moment. Covered in dirt. That tearing sound? That was her flowers. They were taking her boyfriend away, so, yeah. Feel free to approach...she's just...kinda freaked out at the moment. All replies she makes will be delayed at least an hour.]]
