Fifth solo; video/action;

video;

W-W-Wait!! Not so fast! Slow down! I-I'm gonna fall off!

[ It's a little hard to see given the up and down motion, but it's pretty clear Maki is not on her own two feet. Instead, she's riding the green-back of a Skiddo, her first Pokemon that she actually bonded with on her own that wasn't from an egg. She somehow got convinced to let him take her for a ride, but she had no idea just how intense it would be for a girl who was more used to proper tea parties and fancy ballroom dances. ]

L-Look out! I can't stop--!!

[ And so the video cuts off as Maki and her Skiddo suddenly find themselves crashing into a cart full of fruit, breaking apart the wooden cart with a deafening crack! ]

action;

[ Maki and her Skiddo are going to be crashing around the city, a cat atop of a goat. She's trying to get a hang of riding one, but it's not going well. Her Skiddo prefers to charge at things in his path, rather than go around. Because apparently that's no fun.

At the same time she has a reason for being out on her Skiddo, planning on trying to learn how to ride it so she can go see Nozomi to speak about certain...personal problems. ]

Kyaaaah!

[Estelle wasn't watching the network, so she didn't see the warning about the charging Skiddo with Maki on it. So she sees her as the Skiddo rounds a corner, and her eyes go wide. She yelps and... tries to outrun it, rather than dive to the side.]

I DON'T HAVE ANY FOOD FOR YOU, SKIDDO!

[She just assumes Maki's Skiddo is hungry because what's common sense, where can it be purchased?]
brandnewshoes: (Whoa)

[personal profile] brandnewshoes 2014-12-09 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
W-Why's it chasing me, though!

[Estelle wails while she runs. The looming shadow of the Skiddo, though, suggests that Maki is right: she's gonna get run over. Which is why she jumps! She laughs, going airborne, and being a physically enhanced Enlightened, she jumps high.]

[...maybe a little too high...]

[...such that the Skiddo runs under her, and she lands on its back behind Maki, immediately flailing her arms and wailing.]

THAT DIDN'T WORK HOW I WANTED IT TO AT ALL!
brandnewshoes: (Ehehehe)

[personal profile] brandnewshoes 2014-12-09 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Two explanations run through Estelle's mind. One is to make some excuse about why it was totally okay and necessary. The other is to tell the truth. She... goes with Option B.]

...i-it seemed cool?
brandnewshoes: (Thumbs Up)

[personal profile] brandnewshoes 2014-12-10 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[...she has no clue, actually, and didn't think this part through in the slightest. Estelle screws her face up, looking around, before she nods with sudden inspiration.]

Let's feed him his favorite snack!
brandnewshoes: (Awkward)

[personal profile] brandnewshoes 2014-12-11 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[She stares wide-eyed for a moment. Before she gets another idea.]

Steer with the horns! It's gotta work, right!
brandnewshoes: (Surprise)

[personal profile] brandnewshoes 2014-12-12 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[...]

[There's only one that Estelle can think of to try: YELLING. Maybe this Skiddo needs to be given a stern talking to!]

HEY, SKIDDO! You gotta slow down! You'll throw us both off and that'd be really bad!
brandnewshoes: (Proud)

[personal profile] brandnewshoes 2014-12-14 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Estelle lets out a sigh of relief. Then she grins like an idiot, because the answer is clear:]

Yes, because I'm awesome.
brandnewshoes: (Chatty)

[personal profile] brandnewshoes 2014-12-15 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I think sometimes, you just gotta be a little firm!

[She thinks about it, then she nods.]

Pokemon are like kids, that way.
brandnewshoes: (Ehehehe)

[personal profile] brandnewshoes 2014-12-16 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Aw, don't worry about it! These things happen, right? Uh.

[She attempts to extend a hand over Maki's shoulder, then realizes that won't work for a good handshake.]

I'm Estelle.
brandnewshoes: (Chatty)

[personal profile] brandnewshoes 2014-12-17 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure. I was headed to the agricultural tower. That's nice of you.

[She pats the Skiddo on the back, for good measure.]

Where'd you get this guy?
brandnewshoes: (Content)

[personal profile] brandnewshoes 2014-12-18 04:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't worry about it. Sometimes I just get lost on my own, so this is pretty novel.

[She tilts her head and considers that. Two Pokemon? She has a lot more, but that might be kind of rude to say.]

It takes work getting used to them. And you're doing great now.
brandnewshoes: (Sheepish)

[personal profile] brandnewshoes 2014-12-19 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[The cat ears are kind of awesome, Estelle thinks. She tilts her head, before shaking it.]

I'm from Caldera. I've been here a few months, but...

[She laughs sheepishly.]

I get lost sometimes anyways. It's a pretty big place.
brandnewshoes: (Cheerful)

[personal profile] brandnewshoes 2014-12-22 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah! It's nice to visit Union and the other cities.

[She tilts her head to the side, then she grins.]

Yeah! Thanks! I could use the help, y'know?
