Yuffie Kisaragi [KH]

[Yuffie is drenched, exhausted, dirty and probably a slew of other things too. After that nail-biting ride from Jenny to get her after Leon prodded her, and then working her butt off to stop the flooding on the beach, she's tired and her muscles are screaming in pain even now as she sits with Pichu on her newly evolved Forrettress by the Lighthouse. The giant bug is equally tired from all the weather and water.]

Maybe Leon's right. Maybe I do need more training.

[But there's a sigh. This isn't like Yuffie. But it's not from her physical exhaustion. It's just her being put out and a little emotionally defeated.]

Uh, I'm not sure about this, but... it seems that Aerith's gone. Just kinda poofed, vanished sorta thing. Kinda thought that she might have gotten swallowed by the sea, but, heh guess not.

She left her Pokémon behind though, so... um, not too sure about what to do with that.

[Worrying about her big sis' protection without her Pokemon or her and Leon's help? Yeah, that's why she's down.]

[Did you have a good sleep Johto? Dealing with all those little buggies outside? Regardless of whether you did, Yuffie knew she did. Nice and snug in her bed at the inn, completely oblivious to the rampage of bugs outside.

Now the girl doesn't mind bugs. There weren't much of them back home and they always had more issues dealing with the infestation of Heartless rather than bugs. So Yuffie might be a little more hardy than most girls her age, but it might not take much to put the girl over the age.

Specifically about a topic like this, when she's got a bit of a serious tone on.]

Okay. I confess. I understand, completely and utterly, that this place is weird. Caters to the Pokemon more than the humans, yet we keep them trapped in bitty tiny balls. Seems a little strange, but I'm used to strange. Kinda. [...] Somewhat used to it.

But you know, there's limits. There are so. Many. Limits. And I'll tell you, having a Pokemon explode on you is one of them.

Why would-- how would you-- why would something want to explode itself?! Seriously, it's a little weird and strange and-- gosh all I did was pick it up cause it looked cool.

[In the background, there's numerous quiet chirps from her Pichu, while the girl gives a frustrated cry. That's right. Yuffie woke up, head out for fun, saw a Pineco, thought it was interesting and picked it up. No one said that she was smart. And the rest needs to go unsaid in the Pineco-filled Pokeball and the awful scrapes all over her arms.

One deep breath later, and she seems to have gotten her head on straight again.] Alright. I know there's a lot of bugs around, but guys? STAY. AWAY from those pinecone ones. They got creepy weird red bug eyes, and... and they explode on you, without warning! It's not neat or fun. Just, stay away. Please.

[And now Yuffie knows what she'll be doing for the rest of the day as she heads toward the Pokemon Center, being a grump cause she can't even heal these wounds on her arms either.]


((OOC: Tags might be a little slow today cause I'll be running a lot of errands. SORRY! ;;))

[The feed opens, presumably in mid-conversation and from a very shaky and low to the ground perspective, like it was being held by a Pokémon. What it shows though are two sets of legs, one younger pair clad in shin-length boots and the other from one of the locals.]

"-nd don't go into the grass on your own without a Pokémon. It can be awfully dangerous."

Yeah okay, you mentioned that already. But I'm looking for some people, my friends, here. Have you see-

[And in mid sentence the second set of feet just left, leaving Yuffie kind of stock still for just a moment, before her feet come closer to the Gear.]

Well thanks for you help! I'll just, you know, try to find them myself! Geez.

Pii... [No Pokémon in sight, so it must be whatever is holding up the Pokégear.]

Oh hey, is that mine? [Now Yuffie crotches and takes it, jostling the feed a bit before it settles on her face clearly.] Heh, almost looks like one of Cid's toys, but it looks like it's broadcasting?

Pii...

Hmm [A moment of thought before she breaks into a friendly smile.] Hey, anyone who's listening out there! My name's Yuffie and I'm looking for a couple of friends of mine. Leon, Cid and Aerith. Cid's really grumpy like all the time, and Aerith wears pink dresses and normally has her hair done in a long braid. And Leon, or Squall, he's got a scar on his face and a bunch of belts hanging off his butt for whatever reason.

I can probably find them on my own, but any help would be super appreciated!
