Second Vaccine; Video/Action for Goldenrod

[puppetnurse]

[There is a deer staring curiously at you all today, good people of Pokeland. A Deerling, to be exact, sporting it's winter coat and flicking it's ears back and forth as it watches the camera. Soon there's a happy noise and it runs off, the camera lifting so you can continue watching it as it plays in the sun.]

...h-hello. I...wanted to thank the Breeding Centre...for my Deerling Egg! It hatched, and she's very sweet...and very excitable! I've named her Vitamin D.

[It then drops down to show off an egg.]

I recently purchased a Pichu egg too. Thank you for th-this one as well! But um...th-that's...that's not the only reason I am making a post today.

[As she continues to talk, the camera view wanders over to an Audino, who is sitting with a Rattata, both stuffing their faces.]

I-I assume that there are other...people who are working for the Pokemon Centers...o-other Nurses, perhaps? I was hoping m-maybe I could...talk to you. I-if you aren't busy. I-if you don't want to talk to me, that's okay! I understand!

[This post is obviously taking a lot of effort to get out there. She practiced it several times before putting it up, but it doesn't seem to be helping much at all. As the gear continues to record, the view begins shaking a little. Just barely, but enough to be noticeable.]

I-I...I-I'm sorry if this interrupted you any! P-please feel free to disregard this!

[After that, the video ends.

Anyone in Goldenrod today can find her outside, sitting on one of the benches in Goldenrod for a rest or wandering the streets with her three Pokemon and window shopping for some warmer clothes. Or at least a coat...]

[styxiedust]

Yes, hello, I have!

[Although she wouldn't exactly call herself a nurse, quite the opposite really.]

What did you want to ask, dear?

[video]

[puppetnurse]

O-oh, um. I didn't want to really...ask anything, sorry...I was hoping w-we could maybe just...t-talk? O-or...

[QUESTIONS. What questions can she ask.]

A-are...or I mean...h-how do you like working there?

[There. That's a good question. Let's start off talking about this girl. Letting others talk is always far easier.]

[video]

[styxiedust]

It was nice, Nurse Joy and the Chansey are very kind and helpful, they're patient as well. I'm traveling at this point, so I haven't been able to do anything at the Pokemon Center, but I'm sure a Nurse Joy in another city would welcome me just the same.

[A pause, then she laughs.]

Oh--that's right--every Pokemon Center is run by a woman named Nurse Joy, isn't that funny? They're all related they say, it's amazing! They all look so much alike!

[video]

[puppetnurse]

E-eh? All of them? [Like yeah she saw the nurse in Violet and then the one in Goldenrod, but they're all run by people named Nurse Joy? A case of twins is believable but...]

[ghostytrainer]

[...girlie, what has you so nervous? Goodness gracious.]

I wouldn't call myself a nurse, but I've been working at the centers for about three years now. Why?

[A beat.]

Also, your Deerling is very cute.

[Though Vitamin D, admittedly has him a little curious.]

[puppetnurse]

[You wouldn't believe her if she told you, John. Because it is literally everything.]

I-I just wanted to...m-maybe talk with other nurses. O-or Pokemon center workers if they had the time...

[Oh, a compliment! She looks off screen, presumably to the Deerling in question, with a smile.]

Vitamin D...someone says you are very cute.

[Hey, you totally wanted a curious Deerling face popping on the screen and making some happy noises at you, right? Because this one is definitely doing that.

She is very cute, isn't she? Thank you for noticing, mister!]

video;

[ghostytrainer]

[John giggles a little, wiggling his fingers at the screen. Precious deer baby.]

Hello, Vitamin D. YOu are a very pretty little Deerling.

[BUT BACK TO THE CONVERSATION WITH THE HUMAN...]

But alright, what did you want to talk about? Just...anything? Or...did you have something specific in mind?

[belphe]

Belphe, unfortunately, missed the earlier broadcast as she was, ironically enough, absorbed in her work at the Goldenrod Pokemon Center. Now, however, she's on her way back to the inn for the evening and...can't help but notice the girl looking longingly at the warmer clothes through the shop windows and the young pokemon she has in tow.

"Things tend to be pricier in this city." she comments, hazarding a guess that she, like the others Belphegor has spoken to recently, must be new to this place.

[Action]

[puppetnurse]

While her Pokemon are relatively calm when she approaches - even excited, in the case of the Deerling, who happily greets Belphie - Tsumiki jumps at the seemingly sudden presence. It's likely she just didn't notice, lost in her window shopping, but she quickly turns to face this new girl.

"D-do they?" Stiff and fidgeting a little, the nurse glances back at the window, having a difficult time keeping eye contact. "I-I didn't really look at...anything in prior cities..."

[Action]

[belphe]

At this, Belphe inclines her head slightly in confusion.

"Is someone rushing you along?"

It's been her experience most people here are more than familiar with the previous towns as they stop over to train in them before proceeding. But then again, maybe this girl has a demanding master, just as Belphe and her sisters did in their proper world who won't allow for dawdling once she has a bee in her bonnet about something.

[pipers_son]

[Wandering the streets with a Deerling, you say? What crazy random happenstance, a certain ringleader is doing the same with his menagerie of Pokemon.]

[So, uh, sup Vitamin D, that sure is a Zebstrika excitedly bounding up to you. HEY, HEY THERE BUDDY, WASSUP, WANNA STEAL APPLES? That's in fact an actual thing the Zebstrika is asking, as a matter of fact.]

[If only his trainer knew what he was plotting... But Joker is a bit oblivious to his pokemon's shenanigans. He's standing in front of a store, a notepad held in hand. He's apparently chatting with the Mime Jr. on his shoulder. There's some others around him too- a Tranquill on his other shoulder, a Skarmory trying to siphon off heat from a Furret who wants nothing to do with it- but it's only the other Zebstrika by Joker's side who's looking towards the one heckling Tsumiki and her Deerling.]

action;

[puppetnurse]

[WELL HEY THERE, says Vitamin D getting all sorts of excited by this new Pokemon. She isn't sure what stealing is, but she knows what apples are and if she can eat some she would gladly like to go do that. At the mention of eating, her Rattata tries to get on the action too, eagerly wanting to tag along.

Tsumiki, on the other hand, is quite taken aback by the excited Zebstrika.]

Ah...hello there. Are you...just a wild Pokemon? I didn't think wild Pokemon came this far into town...

[Then again, there's someone nearby with another one of these Pokemon now that she's looking around...

OKAY APPROACHING THIS STRANGER IS GO because she wants to find this Pokemon's trainer if it has one.]

...u-um...e-excuse me...

action;

[pipers_son]

Been a bit quiet, so- Huh?

[Joker looks up from his list as someone approaches, his small zoo glancing over as well. The Mime Jr. gives a cheery nod and the Furret immediately makes a beeline to sniff at Tsumiki's feet. Who's this now?]

[A grin passes over the redhead's face as he realizes who's made a deer friend.]

See ya met Caesar! Sorry if he was buggin' ya, he's a nosy thing.

[Caesar the Zebstrika just looks very proud at this classification.]

[timelymaid]

The Centre is always happy to help! I'm glad that your Deerling is doing well. It's always nice to hear about the Pokemon we adopt out and the eggs we've sold!

[ Hey, she's...technically in charge of that, so Aradia figured she should respond to the part thanking the Centre. It seemed apt.

Though she can't help with the rest, since she always waitresses. ]

video;

[puppetnurse]

Th-thank you for running such...a wonderful service! I truly appreciate it! [There's a bright smile on her face as she says this.] Ah, w-would you like...to hear about the Pichu when it hatches too?

video;

[timelymaid]

It's no problem! I actually inherited it when the second owner left, so. It's a nice place to have around, I think! Especially the foster home portion of the business.

[ Since there are always people leaving and coming... ]

And sure! I do like to hear about them, you know? It's nice to hear about people and their Pokemon. I think it's sort of a fun part of this?

video;

[lullabytes]

Next month...or if we meet up in person before then, perhaps Princess Angelica and your Pichu can have a playdate...?

I think it should hatch by then.

[ She's going to get them all to meet up on the fourteenth come hell or high water, so Nanami is just assuming they will meet up next month. ]

video;

[puppetnurse]

I think that is a great idea, Nanami-san! [A playdate for the Pichu and a chance to visit with Nanami, who'd say no?]

I will let you know the minute the egg hatches. And where we are if we leave Goldenrod by then!

video;

[lullabytes]

All right, that works...right now, we're up in Ecruteak. Those two...really wanted to see the dancing kimono girls...?

[ She's okay with it, but Nanami's not really uber enthused about the dancing kimono girls.

Maybe if they were doing Dance Dance Revolution. ]

[Video]

[motormouths]

...Say, Tsumiki, do ya think those Breeding Center guys have Voltorb eggs? Since we're here for a while, I might as well get more of the things.

[Yes, things. He really doesn't know how to deal with any of this. Thinking of them less like things he has to take care of might be the best coping mechanism, even if Chevrolet is slowly growing on him.

...It's the teeth and pink fin.] Some actual electric types, 'cause I'd be way more comfortable with those.

[Video]

[puppetnurse]

I...I-I don't really know. S-sorry. But...they had a really large selection...so they might! ...i-if you want I could...maybe show you where they are. I-if you don't know, of course!

[But electric types...]

U-um. The Pichu egg I have...that will hatch into an electric type...

[Video]

[motormouths]

[...It's really not wise for him to be left alone with her. He can already hear Kuzuryuu cursing him out now. But it's not like he's going to be able to avoid her for forever. They're staying at the same place, after all.]

Yeah, I've got no idea where those guys are. I got lost in the cabin we used for the party, don't think I'm gonna be able to find some place a few miles or so away. [Curse his bad sense of direction.] ...Hell, I don't even know how much of a walk it is from the hotel.

[Kuzuryuu did say he could ring him up if he had trouble, right?]

[mayushiii]

[And what do you know, Mayuri is walking around town. She's wearing a heavy coat and her Togekiss next to her is wearing a scarf Mayuri knitted herself. She's just so happy to see Mikan and jogs over.]

Mikiii~!

[And ends up falling flat on her face by tripping over a small hole on the pavement.]

action

[puppetnurse]

M-Mayushii!

[She'd glanced from the window when she'd heard the familiar voice just in time to see the girl fall. Along with her Audino, Tsumiki quickly rushed over, taking off her backpack and kneeling down to try and help the girl at least sit up.]

Are you alright?!

action

[mayushiii]

[Mayuri's knees and elbows were scrapped up, a little blood showing through her pants. Otherwise she appeared to be fine while her face formed a frown as she stood up with Tsumiki's assistance.]

Ouchie! That huuurts, guess Mayushii should have looked harder.
