Wasn't the Day of Fire awesome!?

[That comes out pretty much the moment that the warp band feed begins. Perhaps Estelle was brought down by what happened... but she doesn't really stay down. The Day of Fire did a lot to help her spirits.]

I'm glad you all came to Caldera to see it! It's basically my favorite festival from back home.

[video - locked to Seekers]

Hey guys! I was thinking and talking to Dad some when I visited home -- okay so more like listening to Dad ramble because he had a bunch of liquor like a bum but anyways -- and an idea came up.

It might be nice if people saw more of what we did. What if we had a Seekers Open House? We could open headquarters up to the public and put a bunch of the artifacts and stuff we found on display.

[A brief pause.]

Maybe drinks and food, too.

[Another pause.]

But not near the priceless artifacts.

Pantsu part 13: Customer Service with a Smile.

[underwearfortomorrow]

[Well. This feed opens up to a somewhat familiar member of the Hikawa shrine. Eiji, who does look a little different than before; it seems he hit his final evolution sometime in the last week or so. His already prominent purple scales are a bit more numerous around his face and it looks like there's a constant puff of fog from his mouth every time he speaks or takes a breath.]

[He's anything but serene or graceful when he addresses the feed. If anything he looks a little uncertain but he tries to get it together. He tips his head in greeting.]

Good morning, everyone! I'm sorry for the interruption but ah- My name is Eiji Hino and I wanted to let everyone who didn't already know that Miss Nozomi Toujou left for a spiritual retreat with Eli Ayase and I will be the one looking after Etteilla until she returns.

[He dips his head further down.]

I plan to do my best for the shop until she comes back so please come and visit us in the Ninetales Vale. I'm afraid I'm not much of a fortune teller, but we have a number of charms and books that may suit your spiritual needs!

[Action: Around the shop.]

[Come visit! Eiji is doing his best to run around and take care of things. He just went from a part-timer to management so he's trying to get himself in order. A few of his pokemon are also roaming the shop trying to be 'helpful'. Eclair the Pumpkaboo is just kind of spooking people while his Skitty lays on the floor by a window soaking up sun.]

[Hina, his Talonflame is perched up high at least chirping when a customer comes in so Eiji can attend to them. Otherwise he's trying to make sure the shelves are nice and organized. He's going to make sure Nozomi didn't regret putting him in charge!!]

[Either way, when she chirps, he turns and offers a warm smile and a bow.]

Hello! How can I help you?

[Action 2: Around the shrine.]

[Its not really a secret that Eiji evolved during Day of Fire. His presence is about three times more pronounced than it was before. His scales which were smattered all over him before have taken up most of his skin. In addition to the wings he gained several months ago he now has a long, dragon-like tail which is twitching back and forth as he seems to be concentrating on something. His eyes were a bright, icy blue that seemed to almost glow and from his mouth was a constant puff of fog. The air around him is also a tad colder than it aught to be normally.]

[He holds his hands up and in a swift motion a formation of ice follows the movement until it's several feet high.]

[He stands back kind of staring at it in disbelief before smiling lightly and holding his hands up again to try and get it to go away again.]

4th Dia: Reach Out [Video/Action]

[frozenflame]

Action: Moss Rock:

[It's not very often that Yukiko Amagi finds herself at a crossroads like this. But today? Today is such a day. It's a bright and sunny afternoon even without her presence, with a gentle breeze rustling through the trees. The last time she can really say she'd been so torn on something was when she'd been trying to make the choice about leaving her parents or staying to help. And if the yelling was any indication, this might be another of those completely life-altering decisions.

So she's gone out to her favorite place, the Moss Rock, to sit and think. Leaning up against the tree on Jiraiya's back, she's got her eyes closed and her fingers gently stroke the Venusaur's head. Pavarti and Orthrus hop around the big stone slab that is the afforementioned rock, while Peter snoozes off to one side with Teddie flopped over on the Snorlax's belly doing the same thing.

It's hard to say, really, why she is so conflicted. She'd done something important recently, she'd solved the mystery of herself by evolving a second time after months of trying. That change had come with a certain sense of clarity. The feeling that she needed to be more involved and focus more on helping others change. But how to go about that? How did you just reach out like that? What could she even do? She had a thought, but the Swords of the Savior didn't seem right. And she wasn't a Medic so much as a talented Healer. She didn't know why she could cure the way she did...she just could. And she had no real interest in the Old City, ghosts or talent for tracking. Which left one other option...and she was thinking hard on that one now.]


Video:

[And by dusk, she'd made her choice. She'd signed the paperwork, and all was done. Which meant it was time to share the news.]

Um...hi. It's me, Yukiko. And I did something today. I made a choice, and it feels like something I should share with anyone who cares. [A pause.] I joined the Seekers. Because I know what I want to do. I want to help people, and uncover answers that got lost in the Cataclysm. And...yeah. That's...my news. Thanks for listening.

[And with that done, she closes off the feed, preparing for inevitable angry messages from her parents...]

Action: Habitat

[Oh they were not happy. At all. And anyone interested in finding her can, sitting on the ground with a golden Exeggcute in her lap, back to a sleeping Snorlax. And despite the fact that she looks like she's been crying there's an oddly serene look to her too. Because sometimes it was easier to ask forgiveness than permission.]

How has everyone been? Cordelia and I have been quite busy of late, my apologies for being unavailable. Married life is, as it happens, keeps your free time rather limited, but I must say it is highly recommended! The recent contact with the city of Sanctuary has lead to some rather interesting revelations! I'd always noticed my abilities were somewhat different from that of the normal Enlightened. Once I learned the name, it all fell into place, and my eyes were able to reveal the truth. Apparently, I am Magi, as the Enlightened of Sanctuary are. It's a rather fascinating development! I still am not certain how I ended up here at all, but it would explain why nobody has recognized me before. Perhaps I managed to make it near to Union before meeting a grisly end, only to reawaken alive and bereft of memory within the Forest Shrine! At the very least it's interesting to speculate about.

[crimsonspearit]

[There's a familiar face that pops up on the warp band, although it's been a while since Kyouko found herself in Union. She doesn't look much different. A bit dirtier, maybe. Wandering unexplored lands training and in search of her adversary was not exactly a vacation.]

It's been a while, Union. [While she looks relaxed, there's just a tiny edge to her voice, like she really doesn't want to be here.]

I'm lookin' for someone. [She's not going to beat around the bush.]

Thought I saw her on the band when I stopped in Caldera not too long ago. Blonde hair in two like, twisty formations. [She takes her ponytail and twists it into the approximation of one of Mami's drills.] Too nice for her own good. She's from Citadel. Anyone seen her?
