teablossom | third shot ❀ video/action ❀ pewter city

[The gear switches on to show a grand view of a city at midday, cascading down a rocky side of a mountain - or mountains - from some unknown vantage point.]

Lovely, isn't it? I'm sure a lot of you have seen it before, but if sights like Pewter are commonplace in this world, that just makes me more excited to see more.

[Mami turns around her gear to show herself, smiling, sitting on a bench in front of the window of a restaurant, people moving about inside. There's two eggs and a bag at her side, and a pair of swablus perched on the bench back, the smaller yellow one making demanding little head nudges into the larger blue one's wing. And that one just looks confused by it.]

Kaname-san, Miki-san, and I made it to the city not long ago, and I've worked here a most days, but I still can't get over the views. But maybe it would be different, if I had more time to sit and look like this. Most of the time we're busy training our growing group. But you have to make time to spend together and have fun.

And, speaking of which... [She glances about conspiratorially before moving the gear to the chair, where it still shows her but frees her hands to dig through her bag. The two birds both stop and perk their heads curiously as Mami smooths out a piece of paper for the network's perusal. Once done, she has a chance to hold up the gear again, this time pointed at the bench seat with the paper laid out (and what looks like the top of an Oddish buried in the ground off to the side).]

Kaname-san drew some cute things... [What she shows is a drawing in a simple, but creative style, except in the place of magical outfit designs there's a bunch of Pokémon there, wearing cute ribbons and flowers and collars- perhaps even a top hat on a penguin!] And now I'm wondering. Do Pokémon ever wear things like this? Do you think they'd like to?

Tomoe-saaaaaan~! (A loud trilling follows Sayaka's call, and the bluenette soon appears in view with a flying Pidgeotto behind her in the sky. She comes to a stop behind her, panting and catching her breath while the Flying-type perches on the bench next to Mami's Swablus.)

...Here you...are! Are you busy...right now...?

Edited 2013-04-21 18:53 (UTC)

[Ah- there's no missing that familiar voice! Mami turns off her gear and picks the paper back up just as Sayaka comes up to the bench. She waits patiently for her to finish her huffed questions before answering. (And all the while the baby gold bird gives a curious hello to the Pidgeotto and bounces over, her big sister hanging back.]

Oh no, I just got off the phone... Is something going- Oh, watch out.

[She reaches up to guide Sayaka by the arm, around the mound of buried Oddish near her foot.]

Hmm?

(Sayaka blinks repeatedly before being pulled around the Oddish, looking back for a moment while sitting down. Pidgeotto replies back confidently, waving at her big sister and calling out as well.)

Just training my Pidgeotto for a while and wondered what you were up to. Didn't wanna disturb Madoka; last I saw her, she was busy drawing.

[Mami can't stop from grinning wider at the mention, playing with the paper in her hand once she lets go of Sayaka.]

Yes, she was so immersed in her work.

But I didn't want to disturb her, so I came up here to ask the chef if he needs another pair of hands, and make a call.

[Plus the new hatchlings seem fond of the outdoors, with her Oddish burying herself in warm ground, and the newest Swablu loving to swoop about as much as she can.

She even tries it right now, jumping up to sweep by the Pigeotto, just as Grazia-nee-san was considering coming over. The sisterly obstacle sends her to Mami's shoulder, instead.]

(Sayaka giggles upon seeing Mami's grin, looking up at the sky for a long moment.)

What's on the menu? I'm not hungry yet, but I know a few Pokemon who might enjoy your cooking.

(One would be Pidgeotto, who has to fly straight up to avoid a Swablu-like obstacle shooting past, only to land near Sayaka's shoulder minutes later.)

Actually, it's namely sandwiches served here-

[Mami cut herself off as her shoulder gets a little too crowded, as the golden Sonia swoops back and tries to land on her head. One bird too many, so Mami gently guides her to her arm instead, ignoring the fretful tweeted lecture from Grazia, as she finishes her comment.]

But they're quite something. Pinwheel sandwiches and wraps. You can order them in miniature on a platter, to share with a large group of people.

Or Pokemon.

[ Like Mami once did, Honey chooses to ignore the video post in favor of searching her out. He recognizes Pewter by now, and she'd even said she was there...

Ah-hah! Honey will just run up to her. In tow is an Empoleon that was once a Piplup, the last time they met. And, of course, Kan-chan the Kangaskhan, his ever-present partner. ]

Mami-chan~! I didn't know you were headed to Pewter! I would have welcomed you right away if I'd known, ne.

[Congrats, Honey! You've found one girl, two birds, a buried onion, and a couple eggs! And while the rest don't (or can't) react, Mami looks up from her gear, smiling surprised at the new arrival.]

Honey-san! [She stands up on his approach, folding her paper in her hand.] I would have said hello myself, if I'd known you were here.

Have you been here long? [Because from the looks of that escort, he's been training up his crew!]

[ He feels so proud. ]

Ah, you don't have to stand on my account - at least, not unless you were about to go somewhere~! I'll walk you if so!

I've only been here since the prom~! How about you, Mami-chan?

Oh no- That is, I just finished my shift and stopped to make a call. I was planning to head back to the Center next.

[And if he wants to walk her back, that's too sweet to demure about. She doesn't want to be unfriendly!]

But it was the same for me. My friends and I took the ship straight here after the party. I'm sorry I missed you there.

Oh? Do you need healing?

[ She officially has a small escort, since he seems pretty content to stick around. ]

It's more than okay! We're getting to meet up now, after all, right? Did you enjoy the party, though?

Oh my goodness... dressing the Pokemon themselves! I hadn't thought of that!

Those are some lovely designs, darling. A bit crude, perhaps, but with a little tweaking...

Neither had I- At least not often. There was a Serperior in a top hat at the Tohjo Falls event.

-what sort of things do you think you might add?

Well, the elements you've chosen are spectacular, but they lack a sense of... oh, what's the word? Composition. Those ribbons, for example. I would place elements of their color lower on the dresses to give the whole thing a sense of unity, you see?

I see... I would be curious to see what the shift would do for the look.

But I'm afraid I'm not the designer. That would be my friend.

Well, your friend has quite a bit of talent. She could be a fashion designer herself, if she wanted to be! Perhaps in a few years. Might I ask her if I could use some of the ideas here for my own work?

It's kind of you to say- I'll make sure to pass on the compliment.

[Chances where it would only enhance Madoka's embarrassment, but hopefully it would please her, too. (Plus it would be too cute.)]

And if you wish to ask her directly, her name is Madoka Kaname. She should be listed on the network, too.

I will certainly contact her as soon as I can! Perhaps she can assist me in adorning Johto and Kanto in the highest possible sense of fashion. And what is your name, dear?

I'm sure she'll be pleasantly surprised- And happy to obliged.

But - how rude of my - I would be Mami Tomoe.

And I am Rarity. It's a pleasure, Ms. Tomoe!
