❀ 8th Weed in the Garden - Voice/Action ❀

[shamelessness]

[The Voice function on the journal starts up, but instead of Shiemi's voice it's Rin's:]


[Voice]
Ossu. It's me, Rin -- I lost my journal a while ago and I still haven't find the thing. 'M using Shiemi's just for a bit to make sure anyone who doesn't know, knows. [...] Uh, I can't really keep using this, so if you wanna come talk meet me at House 15?

[Action]
[People can find Shiemi doing one of two things today:

1) In the sky people can see Shiemi practicing with her now very large (now full grown at five feet and seven inches) skarmory. She'll stand on her Pokémon's back as if she were surfing, ride on its back like it's a horse, or - this one has her particularly frightened - practice falling. Shiemi stands up, lets herself fall backwards off of Skarmy, and then Skarmy swoops back around to catch her. Honestly they hope never to put the skill to use for real, but they might have to use it.

2) After they're done the duo go back to the house (#15) to rest. Shiemi treats Skarmy to some spicy foods, and while the large bird starts preening its feathers... some steel feathers fall off! Skarmy is has started molting, and leaving large, sharp metal feathers everywhere. Oops!]

Sh-she's chewing on the house! I read it's a normal bird thing, but-

[But it's their house.]

[castbytheglyph]

You won't? Awesome! I can't wait for you to see 'em, you'll be totally head over heels they'll be that awesome! Now lessee, you could probably graft a laser cannon onto the head... So I'll include that! Aaand some rocket boosters? Oh yeah, duh, can't forget those.

[bravefighter]

Do you think so? It is pretty cool, huh!

[rashness]

[O...kay, let's go gentle for now, he walks over towards Skarmy with the stuff still in hand and-] Oi, Skarmy, maybe you should bite a tree instead.

[shamelessness]

I... I think we have one too, but we lost our only battle to him.

[shamelessness]

[Skarmy pulls away from the house to give him a look. why should she? Shiemi is a little nervous this won't end well.]

[rashness]

I dunno if you're teething or what [

> birds have teeth ??? ] But we can't have you biting the house, so go mess with something else, okay?

[shamelessness]

Rin, she's not teething...

[What's wrong with biting the house? It's partly hers, right? Plus, chewing feels nice.]

[rashness]

Then what's she up to? [it looks like teething to him]

[bravefighter]

Oh, really? Who's that?

[Action]

[weakahoshi]

Oh! I'm sorry! I j- just assumed!

[Now she's even brighter red than before. This conversation is really off to a great start.]

Um. D- do you know if he needs help finding his journal?

[Hopefully that's enough of a subject change to save both their sanities.]

[Action]

[shamelessness]

Y-y-you can- can go inside and ask him.

[shamelessness]

His name is Masaomi, and his Pokémon's name is Linda.

[The pikachu. She an Skarmory have a large type disadvantage.]

[shamelessness]

Well... I read in a book birds like to chew things because it feels good to them. Usually pet birds get toys to chew on, but we don't have any that would be good for Skarmy.

[Action]

[weakahoshi]

Er, that is.... a- are you sure that's okay?

[bravefighter]

Oh! That's great, I didn't know Masaomi was your rival!

[rashness]

She still can't chew on the house though, that'll just look bad! We have to get her a log or something.
