Story 20 ✐ accidental video/text

[retrogrades]

[A familiar BZZZZZT!, what looks like a blurred hand slapping the communicator, then a bit of text makes it's way to the screen...]

--morrow's me:

Today was my birthday. I didn't really tell anyone about it, but that's alright. With how things are, I'd hate to trouble someone with something as simple as a birthday. Still, it's strange to think that I aged a whole year in this place. I haven't actually been here that long, but somehow the age of seventeen has managed to creep up on me...

It was a pleasant enough day today though, nothing bad actually happened. Ah, it was a bit funny though when--

[And conveniently enough the communicator times out just like that.]

Well, since your birthday has already passed, we should do it as soon as possible, right?

Mm, I suppose we should.

[battledancing]

We'll be coming over right away, then!

[Aaaand she's trotting back home (wherever that is these days) with her Pokemon in tow. Time for some happy!]

[ACTION NOW I GUESS]

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

[And whenever they get home she'll great them all with a big smile!!]

Welcome home, everyone.

[ACTIOOOON!]

[battledancing]

[And she'll be greeted by a... togetackle. SORRY CHIHIRO BB TOGEKISS IS A VERY EXCITABLE THING.]

A-ah... Looks like Togekiss couldn't wait.

[ACTIOOOON!]

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

[FALLING OVER WHOOPS but she giggles and snuggles Togekiss.] Hehe, it's alright. I don't mind not having to wait either.

[ACTIOOOON!]

[battledancers.livejournal.com]

[Good. Because Togekiss never wastes time!

... and he never learns, either. Brb squeeeeeeezing the poor thing.]

[ACTIOOOON!]

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

[Hugs are good but--]

U-Um, Togekiss I... can't breathe...

[ACTIOOOON!]

[battledancing]

Ah, sweetheart, that's-- [BRB TRYING TO PRY TOGEKISS OFF CHIHIRO. GENTLY. And then giving him pettings when he does let go, although a bit unwillingly.]

There, there... You're not hurt, are you, Chihiro?

[ACTIOOOON!]

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

[She sits up straight, catching her breath again, then turns to Cynthia with a smile.]

Don't worry, I'm fine. It just surprised me a bit is all.

[ACTIOOOON!]

[battledancing]

I'm glad, then. [Togekiss nuzzles Chihiro in apology. The big feathery bag of cute did not mean any harm. ;;]

Togekiss still wants to give you your present, though!

[ACTIOOOON!]

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

Hehe, okay. I think I'm ready this time.

[ACTIOOOON!]

[battledancing]

[And you know the drill by now. Here's a Togekiss hovering right above her head and performing a little airborne dance and chanting a soothing little tune. Followed by a shower of sparkly joy dust. ♥]

[ACTIOOOON!]

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

[ALL THE JOY EVER NOW.] Hehe, as strange as it is, I think this is one of the nicest birthdays I've ever had.

[ACTIOOOON!]

[battledancing]

[Oh, that genuinely surprises her. In a good way, of course.]

I'm glad to hear that, sweetie. From now on, we'll make sure all your birthdays will be even better!

[ACTIOOOON!]

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

... I'll be looking forward to it. [Because as difficult as it is to be here, she's also genuinely happy here. Something she never thought she'd be.]
