09. Tea. Tea. Tea. [Video/Action for Violet] Backdated to before the Ushiromiya flood (aka Sunday).

[Today, we open the video feed to see this: :). Yes, that's a ditto.

After a moment the Ditto moves away, to let the rest of the scene be seen. Lion is sitting under a tree's shade right at the beginning of Route 32. Violet City can be seen close by, so it's clear there is still no intention at all of leaving town. Surprising pretty much nobody.
Sitting on Lion's right side and with several implements for preparing tea, we have a very very focused Riolu. We also have a small fire, and a teapot.
And in the background, attempting to dig a hole, there is a Gible, who doesn't notice a thing about this video feed. There is also a Houndoom running around the woods (which explains the fire), but that one cannot be seen in the video feed.]


Good afternoon, Johto.

When I was in Cherrygrove, I had the good fortune of trying some teas that I hadn't ever tried before. I suppose it's only natural that a different world than my own would also have new and different plants and blends.

[At that, Alyssa the Riolu gets up, running to check on the water being boiled.]

I must admit that I have been a bit selfish. But with all the comments about strange vivid dreams, and all the ominous signals of something big coming to us soon, I though that maybe I could share my little secret with everyone.

I have been reading about the herbs used for tea since I arrived to Violet, and I found that one of them is particularly good as a relaxant, and can help people who have trouble falling asleep or who have nightmares.
There seem to be no secondary effects either, so there won't be chances of suddenly falling asleep during work or training.

If anyone is interested in finding about it, I won't mind to share the information I have, just let me know.


[There is a pause here before Lion resumes the talking, this time with a much more serious expression.]

I would like to also ask everyone to be very careful in the next few days, and if possible to avoid being alone or in the roads. I know those who have been here for longer won't have any trouble recognizing the signals, but I wouldn't like the newer people to end up getting in trouble because of this.

Also, if anyone has any information, I would be really thankful if it could be shared with everyone.


[And now, another smile and a polite nod of the head.] And that should be everything. I hope everyone is doing well, even if the heat may be a little too much.


[Private to Will.]

I remember I promised you to have cake and relax for a day once I returned to Violet.

I already ordered the cake, so once you have free time feel free to pick it up, tea will be ready for whenever you arrive.

[/Private to Will.]

I'd be interested. [[He likes tea and while he's had far less nightmares since arriving in Johto...Always helpful to have in case they got worse again]]

You really think this is a sign of something bigger approaching?
shiromadoushi: (Yo!)

[Video] Juuust before he got it. As in he's already toasted but not showing yet :D

Bakura Ryou. [[introduces with a small bow of his head]] And a text message is fine!

I was wondering if maybe it might be a migration, or something. Especially with it being really bright and warmer lately, since crows are attracted by bright things and associated with the sun in a lot of myths. [[just getting his nerdyness all over the place]]

[ Asuka has a Riolu sitting like her lap like he's guarding it, and there's a Budew apparently teaching a Tyrogue how to... dance in the background while a Minun naps on her shoulder. Nothing new there. ]

I'd be interested in hearing about that tea, if you wouldn't mind.

[ Oh hey, she knows that spot.. Have an other dimension cousin with a big grin on her face suddenly running at you, Lion, with a tiny Eevee nervously trotting after her. ]

Uu-! Lion! Hi hi!

... Maria wanted to ask Lion something.. Uu-, does Lion think something bad is going to happen?

[Have a curious Suiseiseki, still on the road, and looking forward to finding this Cherrygrove place.]

There is tea in this place as well, desu...? What kind might it be, is it good, desu?

[Because she is seriously missing tea times and snacks. The bento wasn't bad, but it wasn't what she was entirely used to. Nori wasn't a stellar cook, but her meals were still tasty and much cuter.

[He got the message, so he's going to meet up with Lion. A relaxing day--- When was the last time he got one? Who knows.

He's walking close to where Lion is, the Gerturde the Skitty skipping around the world since Diana told her that she would learn to fly if she did that.]

[ ALL OF THE WAVES. \o\ \o/ /o/ ]

Maria is okay, uu-! All days in Johto are fun, right?

Is it because those crows appeared everywhere? Maria thinks they're not that scary at all..

You didn't need to do that.

Is it really okay for Maria to go sit with Lion and Lion's Pokémon friends..? ... Maria's Pokémon friends will join in too! Right, Abel? [ She picks up her own Eevee, who just looks really awkward about being around other people and tries to get away. ]

Bad.. omens..?

Personally, I think being alone on the roads might be a lot safer.

I might just be traveling with a pair of girls out to kill me though...

So everything is still okay on your end? It's weird nothing's happened yet.

That's something you would say.

[Probably the skitty would ask what murder is anyway.]
