019 [video/action]

[The video feed turns on with a clatter as Rika's PokéGear falls onto the floor. All that's visible is Rika's hand hanging over the edge of the bed. There's silence for a few moments as everything in the room stays still until suddenly there's the sound of a frantic pokémon.]

Vee! Vee! [At that moment, Rika's hand moves out of view of the Gear.]

Prince? Are you all right? [There's fumbling around for the Gear until Rika manages to reach over the side of the bed and pick it up. She has a worried look on her face despite the fact that she's hugging her Eevee.]

What's going on? How long have I been asleep?

[Another smile] I know.

I should have known not to look, though.

Mii... I'm very mature for my age, though.

[She nods.] Yes. What exactly happened?

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

I have to make up for lost time. I think I gained a lot of energy from all of that sleeping.

It was. Prof. Oak sent out a message on Saturday, informing us for certain of what was going on. But even before that, I had my suspicions.

Still, I have to insist that you take lots of rest when you can.

Please promise me, Rika?

[bakaitoukid]

I think so. I heard I wasn't the first.

Even if you're mature enough, there are laws against this sort of thing! I'd get in all sorts of trouble.

Ah... let's see, I didn't completely get it, but I heard there was something called a... Shed Ninja? Or something like that, going around and putting people to sleep. You must have seen one before you went under, right?

*slummmmmping a bit after hearing that*

If... If only I had warned everyone about it as soon as they started showing up... I even have one of my own, but it was harmless...! Why do only the wild ones do that...?!

Hayate, don't blame yourself for this.

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

You did?

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

... M-mii? There are laws?

I believe so. I should have known not to look...

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

It's a promise! Nipaa~

[a pause] ... How long have you been here?

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Mii... I wonder who was.

[uselessmagic.livejournal.com]

Or maybe there aren't actually laws here? Ihihi, then I guess I can do whatever I want~

That's not really fair... you can't know what you're not supposed to look at without looking at it first, right? Wait, no, I mean... you won't know it's the thing you shouldn't look at if you haven't looked at it... Does that one make more sense? ...hrm, this is kind of hard to say, but you get what I mean, don't you?

I wonder what Battler will do now.

[A nod.] I understand. Although I heard stories that they stole the soul of whoever looked at their back... I was just startled and turned around when I heard something behind me.

[uselessmagic.livejournal.com]

You're better off not knowing...

Exactly! There was nothing you could have done... and everything's fine now, so no harm done. There's no point in regretting what you had no control over.

Not long at all. About three weeks, so all this...

[ Gesturing to everything around her. ]

...is a little new to me, but I confess that I am adjusting.

video;

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

That's true... Although, I did make people worry.

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

It shouldn't take very long to get completely used to it. I know I was surprised when I first woke up here.

[video]

[lc-whitequeen.livejournal.com]

How long ago was that, may I ask?

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Mii... I think more than a year ago now.

[video]

[lc-whitequeen.livejournal.com]

Oh my! That is a very long time.

Rika-chan--!

[ hi, have another worried/happy sister figure. ]

The Pokédex entry on Shedinja mentioned that there was a rumor that looking into its back would cost a person her spirit. And every time a video feed showed someone's soul getting stolen -- or what happened right after -- I could see a Shedinja running away.

I can't tell you what it is or it'll ruin the surprise!
