video or action for theater

[screen flickers on, showing an intense looking Michiru who's...wearing a bathrobe, a towel around her head, and looking kinda damp. She also has a wet Bidoof by the scruff, held close to the camera and as far away from her body as possible. Judging by that uneven blinking, Bidoof might be shaking off the last vestiges of a sudden KO.]

Is anybody looking for a side job? I'll pay you to babysit this one, by the hour, for as many hours as you'd like.

[Bidoof wiggles, swinging a bit from Michiru's steely grip.] Doof.

[Michiru's smile could probably kill, if she put a little bit more effort into it.]

[~~watch, he'll be completely flummoxed by the door, but will chew through the wall.~~

Oh? Michiru closes her eyes and doesn't say anything for a moment, opting instead to lean back into those hands. Ah...]

I'd like that. [she trails off. Any thoughts of Brad or even plans for the trip are being slowly driven from her mind.

Looks like she's pretty tense.]

[ ~~That'll make a sound. They'll be warned.~~ Haruka keeps up that massage, working her fingers deep into Michiru's muscles wherever they seem the most taut. Not Michiru. She can put up with a lot from Pokémon, but not Pokémon that actually manage to bother Michiru. Because when Michiru is bothered....well, if it's come to that, things must be serious.

She nestles her cheek against Michiru's damp hair, still massaging away. It's all right. They're partners. They can do anything if they're together.

Michiru taught her that. ] All right.

[she tenses up when you find a particularly knotty spot, but knows better than to pull away.

There's a sigh and she's relaxing inch by inch when that tightness finally goes away. You can probably hear the smile in her voice] You're sweet.

[deliberate, but well. She can't deny that she's always liked your hands.]

[ Well, she likes yours, so they're even. Haruka relaxes as Michiru relaxes, and when that tension's unwound, she starts using the towel as was originally planned. ] I don't intend to share you.

[ Not with anyone cheeky enough to think they have a chance. Certainly not anyone with buckteeth and a bubble butt tail. ]

Not even a little? [she's tempted to turn towards you, but she'll be good and stay still and just enjoy being pampered.

Back in the bathroom, Brad sneezes the towels right off and...oh hey. It's day again!]

[ Haruka just smiles and massages Michiru's scalp, too, beneath the towel. She'll make silent exceptions for your Pokémon. But that's as generous as she's going to get.

....oh dear. Who's going to watch the baby while they're away? Or should they take the baby? Decisions. Haruka's hands slow. ]

[she just laughs quietly at the response - or nonresponse. Michiru doesn't like sharing you either, even if some of the high school girls are cute.

...baby (babies) probably won't come along if the area is known to be high level. Probably.]

[ Haruka is reaching that conclusion as well, the longer she thinks. They'll need their wits about them, anyway. For the dangers of the Archipelago.

Her hearing's on high alert right now, too, and she continues to work all of Michiru's hair through the towel. ] Who should we bring?

Waltz. [that was an immediate response.

Hm.] Martelé.

[they might want to diversify their profile, though. Also, there might be a dull sort of crashing sound coming from the direction of the bathroom. Someone might be bashing their furry skull against the door.]

[ Haruka's own shoulder muscles tense when she hears that bashing sound, and she picks up the pace of her toweling despite outwardly keeping casual. They better get Michiru ready to escape. ] I have that Lapras now, too.

[ Thinking about what they're likely to encounter... ] A couple birds for scouting.

[ They'll probably run into a lot of Water-types, though. But her Grass-types are a young Petilil and Natto. And as for other super-effective Pokémon...um...

...Gold.... ]

[that's an eyebrow raise that you don't see.] A couple?

[though if you're bringing your Lapras, that frees up a spot or two.] Lulu.

[the bashing sound continues without pause until it just...suddenly stops.]

[ Okay, one bird, then. Haruka finishes up with the towel and gets out of the way so Michiru can change. ] World Shaking's a given. That's three.

[ And three is all she wrote when you're a God of War, even if all you get for your fancy third type is unreliable psychic powers that mostly just make you sound cool and look troubled. Maybe they'll come in handy and warn her if she happens to place herself in view of that door... ]

[she heads over to the vanity to run a brush through her hair before going over to the closet.]

Carol, then. [geez, her roster has a lot of Water types.] ...Vivace. [Fire type, but otherwise it would've been Melody.

There isn't any pitter patter of tiny doof feet yet. Maybe he got lost.]

[ That silence disturbs Haruka. At least if she could hear movement, she'd know his position. What's he up to?

....They need this trip. She's paranoid about beavers. ] And the bug can watch the kids.

[ Natto is a bit much when he babysits Minuet, frankly, but at least he's conscientious. He makes her a little bed out of the fabric in the costume room so he can be by her side at all times. ]

[Minuet can probably get lost in the costume room within five minutes if she puts some effort into it.]

I'll ask Stradivarius to help out. [which should balance things out. And Michiru's quickly getting dressed and digging out her travel clothes.

That's a really odd thump from next door.]

Thanks. [ .....next door? How did it - next door -

Haruka strides to the closet and starts pulling out jackets, getting her own necessities together. This room is no longer safe. ]

[Michiru makes room, digging out her pack and haphazardly putting her stuff in it. It's definitely not as neat as it usually is, but she'll fix it later. They'll quickly stop by the Habitat, and then head to the stores and probably pick up whatever else they missed.

There's a frustrated noise as she sets aside her pack and pulls on her boots. This is...patently ridiculous. They're running away from a Bidoof.

But when it sounds like Brad is trying to scratch his way through the wall, she really can't admit that she'd like to stay here and deal with him.]

[ Through the wall. That little parasite is going through the wall. This is so absurd, Haruka can only think of stopping him with another absurdity.

One mental nudge through the theater sends Natto to the storeroom - she'd meant for it to be "get ready to babysit", but apparently he knows what that implies by now - and another summons a mighty galumphing of uncoordinated paws to the room whence the scratching can be heard. Hello!!!! What are you doing there, Bidoof? Can he help?! ] Jolt jolteon!!!

[ Haruka smirks. That should hold Brad at bay for a while. ]

[it takes a few seconds for outside auditory stimulation to get through Brad's absolute focus. He turns around and...blinks.] Doof.

[Michiru looks up as the scratching stops. She might have been able to pick out Gold's excited barks if they hadn't probably chosen a room with thick walls.]

[ Gold blinks back. Is that all we're doing? Blinking? Sure, he's good at that, but....

Oh, no! Something happened to the wall! ] Eeee!

[ Haruka snorts, attuned to the sound of her Jolteon's voice (it usually spells trouble.) She tilts her head towards the hallway. Ready when you are. ]

[Gold's exclamation makes Brad turn back towards the wall. Oh right. That was what he was doing. And he sets back to scratching at it with will.

Michiru nods, getting up and slinging her pack over her shoulder. Let's go.]

Eeeeon! Eee! [ What are you doing? Gold bats a paw in Brad's way as best he can, trying to interrupt this activity. Maybe you're new to houses so you don't know, but that's the wall! You can't just scratch it up like that! The house might collapse, and more importantly, it's rude! ] Jolteon! Jolt jolt!

[ Haruka leads the way out of the door. They'll rendezvous with Natto for the last few instructions and then be on their way.

From the look on her face, you'd think they were heading out to battle the Enhanced again. ]

Doof! [hey!! Brad tries to work around Gold's paw, still scratching as much as he can.

Meanwhile, Michiru follows silently, closing their door as quietly as possible.]

[ Haruka is counting on Gold to continue to distract Brad, and while Gold may not be aware of this, he's certainly doing one heck of a job, pawing more and then trying to place his whole body between Brad and the wall. Much as he believes in helping people, he can't help you hurt the dorm. Why are you doing that to the wall anyway? Maybe there's an alternate solution that can make everybody happy. ] Jolteon! Jolt, jolt. Jolteon ee!

[ ....Just keep talking, Gold. Haruka is swift and silent. ]

Doof! [head lowered, Brad tries to push right through Gold to get to the wall - which isn't quite working, but going around Gold doesn't seem to cross his mind.

.....then he pauses, staring blankly at the direction Michiru had snuck off to. His nose twitches.] Doof.

[Michiru feels a shiver run down her spine, and walks a little faster.]
