12th roar [ audio + action for Violet ]

[adamant]

[ The feed clicks on to Leon sounding...rather terse. Moreso than usual, at any rate. ]

Now that Aerith's in town, I'd like to head back up to Goldenrod. As soon as possible; maybe tomorrow.

[ Yes, he's on edge because of the Rocket stuff, but there's too many potentially interested people to filter this, so he'd rather not mention it because he's pretty sure they're tracking things. ]

It'd take about five days, going through the northern passage. Who's interested?

[ End feed. ]


[[ OOC NOTE: forward-dated to Thursday (well, it's thursday for me, but I know it isn't for EST people) because I won't have 'net access at all tomorrow and I want to get this posted first. ]]

It'll be good to see you guys again.

[video]

[adamant]

Same. I think I've seen enough of Violet by now.

[ Is that...is he sensing lineface in your expression, padawan? :/ ]

[video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[not only is it lineface, but it's the biggest lineface he's ever sported over the 'gear-- probably since before he left Destiny Islands, even.]

I think getting sick of Violet is kinda like a rite of passage around here.

[adamant]

[ Good gracious. Kairi wasn't kidding when she said you were pissed, boy. ]

Something like it, yeah. Then again, I've been staying in Goldenrod long enough, too. But...

[ Well, Sora knows. ]

[video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

... Yeah.

[a pause, as he glances off to the side, presumably toward the Tower.]

Haven't been able to get in there yet, though.

[video]

[adamant]

[ A grim nod. ]

I hear they've tightened security.

[video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Security's not gonna stop me. Kairi said something about the Director, but... [he wants to help, of course, but Sora really just wants to take a swing at the woman who hurt her.]

[video; filtered]

[adamant]

Lock that.

The Director, huh?

[ deets. ]

[video; filtered]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Just that she went up to ask him if something was going on, then... [good lord, did that lineface just get even more line-y?]

[video; filtered]

[adamant]

She didn't make it the whole way, did she.

[ EPIC LINEFACE. YOU WILL NEVER TOP THIS. ]

[video; filtered]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Right.

[YOU WANNA PLACE BETS ON THAT, LEON. he just huffs a sigh and rubs his forehead.]

Knew I should've taken a job there...

[video; filtered]

[adamant]

I had a job there.

[ HE'S A BIT TENSE ABOUT IT, CAN YOU TELL? ]

But then Yuffie arrived...

[video; filtered]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[... okay yeah, Leon wins the lineface-off, because Sora's just deflating.]

Don't... you needed to meet up with Yuffie, Leon.

[video; filtered]

[adamant]

Of course I did. Doesn't change what happened.

[ DON'T OPEN THAT CAN OF WORMS, KID, IT'S ALMOST AS OLD AS YOU ARE. ]

[video; filtered]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[he shakes his head.]

I just... should've been able to help out somehow, you know?

[video; filtered]

[adamant]

[ If he could, he'd clap a hand on your shoulder. As is, he's a bit limited. ]

No use worrying about it now.

[video; filtered]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

I don't think I can do that. Not until they're stopped.

[video; filtered]

[adamant]

Then channel it into something you can use, stay on alert, and be ready. There's no telling what they're planning.

[video; filtered]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

You mean training?

[video; filtered]

[adamant]

Yes. Your pokemon first, because they'll be more use to you. Don't neglect yourself, though.

[video; filtered]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

I guess we can train each other, then... I've still got the Keyblade Ven made for me.

[video; filtered]

[adamant]

That wooden one? [ a flash of amusement ] Try not to get it stuck anywhere this time.

[video; filtered]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, that was a group effort with Skarmory-- oh, hey Leon! I never introduced you to Metal Chocobo, huh?

[video; filtered]

[adamant]

Skarmory's egg? You didn't, not yet.

[video; filtered]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Well, I was kinda worried at first, 'cause Riku's hatched just fine, but mine wasn't even budging... [he says this as he fumbles around for Metal Chocobo's ball.]

-- But I took it to the Pokécenter, and Nurse Joy said it seemed just fine, so maybe I just needed to keep waiting and taking care of it... but then two weeks later, she hatched! And I figured out what was taking her so long.

[POP. and unlike most Skarmories, who would only stand maybe 4 or 5 inches above Sora, Metal Chocobo is... well, she's chocobo sized. Sora tilts his head waaaay back to look at the giant bird now looming above him. big bird is biiiig.]
