femininity | 1st live [video/action]

[ as the device's screen turns on, you're treated to the sight of two ralts. they don't seem to be doing anything in particular, but that's enough to inspire makoto to pull out of her device. this thing takes pictures, right? she's not entirely sure, but if it's a phone, it's gotta have that kind of function!

so while she fiddles with her device, inadvertently turning it on, she calls out to another person. ]

Hey, Ryo! Ryo! Look! They're cute, aren't they?

[Another voice gives a light giggle at Makoto's excitement. When she's excited like this, even Ryo can't stay worried about their predicament!]

You really like them, don't you Makoto-san...? Though, to be honest, I think they're more "cool" than "cute".

Really? [ no, they definitely look cute to her. she stares a bit longer, before quietly deciding to herself that they're definitely more "cute" than "cool". but more importantly... ]

Oh! I think this is recording. [ uh... whoops? she turns her device so it's facing ryo, figuring they should give their audience something more than two cute pokemon rolling around. ] Um... quick, say something!

Eh?! Why me?!

[Ryo's shocked face takes up the entire screen. What do?! All right, back up back up... Okay, much better. Well, "something" was kinda vague, and arguing with Makoto is something Ryo doesn't want to do, so... A greeting, maybe? That's pretty basic. Time to flash a bright smile!]

Umm... H-How do you do? I'm Ryo Akizuki. I'm an idol from 876 Productions, though I don't think it really matters right now... With me, is, um... [Ryo tries to discreetly whisper, though it's pretty audible.] Makoto-san, maybe you should say something too?

[ at those words, maktoo turns the camera around so that she's the one on screen now. ]

I'm Makoto Kikuchi, from 765 Production! If I have any fans here, I don't mind giving autographs! [ she laughs a bit as she says it, making clear that she's just joking. she's hardly that popular yet. ] But anyways... it's nice to meet you!

[ she nods, satisfied by the message, before turning back to Ryo. she thinks the message has ended now, though obviously it hasn't... ]

That was good, right?

[Ryo nods, satisfied.]

Yes! You're amazing as always. [Though anything Makoto does is amazing to Ryo---] Hm? It looks like... you might have left it on.

Eh? No, I made sure I... ack, you're right!

[ makoto fumbles around with the device a bit before finally, this time successfully, turning it off. ]

Oh! Welcome back Makoto!

And it's nice to meet you as well, Ryo.

Thanks! It's good to be... back...?

[ wait... give her a while to process this. ]

What do you mean back?

You've been here once before, but this place can be tricky like that. Some people remember, and some people don't.

Regardless, it's nice to see you. My name is Talim.

Eheh, I guess I forgot... [ hm, but would she really forget something this important?

...well, maybe. ] It's nice to meet you, Talim! I mean, again, I guess?

It's fine- just don't be surprised if more people know who you are because of it.

[ She giggles. ] Something like that! What pokémon did you get this time?

It's alright! That's just part of being an idol.

[ she thinks? okay, maybe it's actually complete unrelated to what's going on at the moment, but it kinda feels the same... ]

A Ralts! I think that's what it's called? The little green guy. [ she turns her device's camera over to it again and... well, it appears to be sleeping. but still, cute! ]

Oh, how cute! It looks like it's worn out already and you haven't even started yet.

...doesn't that just mean it's lazy?

Um... not necessarily!

It's alright, I'll whip her into shape, if it's the last thing I do!

Ah, I'm sure you will. Does she have a name yet?

I haven't thought of one... eheh, I had some ideas, but coming up with a name is a big deal! Something she'll be stuck with forever... if it's not good, she might grow up to be a bad apple.

[ She laughs ] I guess that's fair! It's hard to think of a good name sometimes.

Oh! Um... Nice to meet you too!

[Smile! That's the only way Ryo could think to respond to this.]

Though... 'Welcome back'? Makoto-san doesn't act like she's been here before.

My name is Talim. Welcome to Johto.

[ She smiles back! ]

Oh, um, she has been! She just doesn't remember. It happens sometimes.

It's nice to meet you, Talim. Um... Is there anything else weird that I should know about?

Ah... let's see. People can come to this place from all sorts of worlds and times.

That kind of makes sense, actually. I probably should have guessed from the other people...

[It's a bit reassuring, knowing that there's people on the same boat.]

Anyway, I bet Makoto-san was an amazing trainer when she was here before... I hope I can be that good too. This whole thing, while it's kind of unnerving sometimes, seems a bit fun.

I was a little skeptical at the beginning, to tell you the truth. Now my team has practically become family.

Like a family...

[Ryo looks down at the Ralts playing around at his feet. He looks back at the camera and nods with a warm smile.]

I'd like for that to happen with my Pokémon too.

[ Talim can't help but smile warmly in return. ]

It's hard not to, I think. They're already so much more than pets, and they soon become so much more than friends.

I think that's really nice. In a way, this world is pretty peaceful... [TEMPTING FATE.]

It has its dangerous moments, like anywhere else, but I do truly enjoy it here.

[W-Wait hold on... He pales a bit at that first part.]

D-Dangerous moments? Like what...?

Oh, um. We had a very big storm recently. It was quite scary.
