1st Arrow [Video]

[umiiroshoujo]

[When the video feed begins, it's fairly obvious that the Warp Band is not on its owner for the simple fact that she's standing a few yards away doing...stretches? It's important to do some warm-up stretching in the morning. Considering she's about to explore a city she's never been in before, Umi would prefer to be fully awake and energized, as it's sure to be a long day.

She keeps it up for a minute or two before she seems to realize something. Umi looks around for a moment before spotting whatever is playing with her Warp Band. Which reveals itself to be a Ralts, which turns the feed to face it with a bright smile.]

Kaori, we're supposed to be exercising! What are you...

[She trails off for a moment as Kaori holds up the Warp Band to oh so proudly show her. There's just this brief, awkward pause when Umi realizes that it's actually recording. Her expression goes from one of reprimand to one of horror as she scrambles to grab the device and turn it off.]

T-turn it off! Turn it-

[Aaaand she successfully manages to turn it off. This was not how she planned on starting her day. How many people just saw that?]

[ Maki's at home, sitting with a Fletchling in her lap, running a tiny brush on it's head. She feels bad though, even if there's a little smirk on her face. ]

It was just some stretching, it's nothing to be embarrassed of right?

[ Though she sighs a little, looking at her Pokemon. ]

Although I guess my first post was kind of similar to your's...

[Somebody just had to see that didn't they? That is not the best first impression she could have given these people. Thankfully, she doesn't have to show her face thanks to figuring out how to use the voice function. It's...pretty easy. No wonder Kaori was able to play with it.]

I just wasn't expecting it to be recorded. You have an overly curious one too?

[cutiepanther]

[ Someone had seen it, and Maki is feeling some bad memories welling up. The last time she had seen someone practicing something, she had basically made a new enemy she couldn't get away from. But Umi seems a lot more even handed than Nico, and that's a relief. ]

Ah..no...someone had taken a video of me playing a piano piece that I hadn't finished perfecting and showed it to everyone.

voice;

[umiiroshoujo]

I can see why that might be embarrassing.

[Especially if she'd messed up or something. Umi isn't going to pry about that though. But...]

You play the piano?

voice;

[cutiepanther]

Yeah..

[ Only it was embarrassing to Maki for the stupidest reason. Umi will have to find out how tsundere she is. ]

I do. I sing, play the piano, and a few other instruments. I've been studying music and composition for a long time.

Relax, it's just a stretching routine. I don't think anybody's really going to care.

[umiiroshoujo]

It just caught me off guard.

[footprints_on_your_face]

You go out for daily runs too? I don't think I've seen you around.

voice;

[umiiroshoujo]

Sometimes. I just find that it helps when you exercise early on in the day. I'm new to this city.

...Umi?

[umiiroshoujo]

[Wait a second, that's a face Umi actually recognizes.]

Eri? You're here too?

Feel free to message me if we wanna work out what they actually know, otherwise WINGING IT whoooo

[erichika]

Yeah. After my father was hurt in the fighting my family decided it'd be safer out here.

alrighty~

[umiiroshoujo]

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

[The fighting had been horrible.]

It's certainly different here.

[nicocism]

You should really train your pokemon better... [Especially considering she has a pretty rare one.]

[Video]

[umiiroshoujo]

She's just overly curious about new things.

[nicocism]

Well, at least she didn't catch you doing anything embarrassing. I guess be more careful with your band?

[umiiroshoujo]

[Yeah, she's very glad that she hadn't been doing anything embarrassing. She'd never be able to live normally again.]

I'll have to be. I suppose adjusting to the added weight on one arm isn't that big of a deal.

[Especially if she ends up with more Pokémon.]

[have a Michiru and a Gardevoir peering over her shoulder at the video. Hello, little one.]

They're cute at that age. [Gardevoir turns her head away with a sniff. She certainly was not.]

[umiiroshoujo]

They are.

[Umi sighs quietly.]

I only wish she was able to focus more.

[incousinswithyou]

I suppose that's just different natures coming into play. Age could be a factor, but instilling a sense of discipline is important too.

[Gardevoir wants to roll her eyes. She was born with great powers of focus, thank you very much.]

[umiiroshoujo]

She usually behaves better than this.

But...it could just be that she's young.

Video.

[future_sight]

I think she wants you to take a break.

Video.

[umiiroshoujo]

I don't see why. It's part of our daily routine.

Video.

[future_sight]

Maybe she thinks you've been working too hard. Or wants to show you off to everybody.

[umiiroshoujo]

I don't see how performing our morning stretches is working too hard.
