20th Tomoe || Text / Action for Ecruteak City

[beforethedarkness]

I've apparently been 'glitching' out for a few weeks, according to some of the inn staff. I guess I'm back now.

---------------

A long time ago, great bird pokémon roosted atop the burned and tin towers. It seems to be the local lore around here, with them being tied to three great beasts who now roam the lands as well. Is there anything any of you might know about them?

What do you mean by glitching out?
Are you going to be okay?

[beforethedarkness]

I'm fine. It happens to people sometimes, when they just sleep and seem to fade away at points.

I'm back now. That's all that matters.

[punches]

Just because it happens to people sometimes doesn't mean you're okay.
Just answer me.
Are you going to be okay?

I already said I was fine

I know the beasts appeared and were sighted around the region for a while over a year ago.

Video

[beforethedarkness]

They did?

Did you see them yourself?

Re: Video

[dreamsofahero]

One of them, yes.

[She's just taking a small break from her trip to go and get Serah when she sees his text and is pleasantly surprised. She'd thought he was gone.]

Welcome back. Status?

[Is everything alright? How does he feel? Where in the world is he, anyway?]

[text]

[beforethedarkness]

I'm okay. Still in Ecruteak City.

[Unfortunately, that's all Lightning gets out of him in that first text - though whether it's because it's all he can think of or whether he's still holding some feelings in is debatable and impossible to tell for certain, considering the medium.]

[Impossible to tell, yes, but she still tilts her head at it. Okay is a pretty broad answer, but...she won't push. Not this time.]

Do your friends know you're there?

Hey, I'm just glad to hear you're okay. How are you holding up?

locked;

[beforethedarkness]

I'm fine.

I've been looking into the Legendary Pokémon more. This seems like the place to get the most information on them.

[islandshore]

Yeah, considering the towers, I'd say it's your best bet. Just don't expect to find much besides old legends. I only remember seeing Lugia once, and it wasn't even a good view.

[Ignoring the bird stuff because boooooooooring.]

Where've you been?!

[You won't say that when he has a giant rainbow phoenix that can destroy all. :|]

Ecruteak City.

[Oh hey he's actually responding with video too. And with a huff, does this moron have to be so loud all the time? Seriously Naruto you're going to break his ears someday.]

[believeit]

Ecruteak?

We were just there for ages! How come I didn't see ya?

Sasuke...

[There's no hiding her relief, though she's doing her best not to show it.]

It's good to hear from you. About the birds, though, have you ever talked to a guy called John Egbert? He knows more about legends and stuff than I do.

[beforethedarkness]

[Sasuke doesn't address the first part of what Tenten is saying to him, instead immediately focusing on the second with obvious attentiveness.]

No, I haven't. What does he know about them?

[usedswift]

[It's good to hear from you too is a little too much to ask for, it seems, but she's not letting go quite so easily.]

Hang on, go back to the part about glitching. Did you go home at all? Has anything happened?

I never thought you the type to put much stock in legends about ancient creatures.

[beforethedarkness]

They're supposedly much stronger than the regular pokémon here. I think only the best trainers could hope to tame them.

[And the unspoken message of him intending to be the best is there as he glances down at one of his pokéballs, clutching it tightly. Aside from taijutsu, there isn't much else he can do here after all...]

[uncagedforjustamoment]

Unless they don't exist, and then searching for them will only waste your time.

I don't know too much 'bout the local legends, but if the burned tower is gone, don't that mean it ain't comin' back?

Maybe it found somewhere else t'roost.

video;

[beforethedarkness]

That's what I'm guessing, but the other one isn't here either is it?

That means both of them have other places to roost, if they exist at all.

[sitdownbecider]

S'it so hard t'believe that they exist? It ain't the first time a legendary's showed up in town somewhere.
