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.]

[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.]

[ Natto is waiting for Haruka next to the supply room, holding a full knapsack. He lifts it up as Trainer approaches, attempting to list everything they'll need to shop for before leaving. They were out of Paralyz Heal, and you'll want to pick up some more food, and - ] Leavanny vanny. Vanny van...

Yeah, yeah. [ Haruka shoulders the pack, and finds herself hampered further by Natto's insistence that he has to stick a good-luck leaf to it. And he made a whole corsage for Trainer's Trainer! Here!

Gold, meanwhile, is confused. What's this way? ] Jolt?

Thank you. [Natto gets a smile, even if it's slightly strained. Michiru might be already edging towards the exit.]

Doof doof. [Brad unerringly makes his way towards them - even if it means walking straight into a wall and kinda sliding his face across it as he keeps walking.]

[ Gold is seriously worried about this other Pokémon. He's never met anyone but himself (and Usato, but Usato always bounces back right away) who runs into walls. Are you sure you're okay? Hey!

Gold smashes his own face against the wall and slides along behind Brad, still trying to get his attention. ] Jolteon jol jol!

[ Natto waves farewell. Haruka gets the door, holding it open. Michiru first. Above all else, they have to get Michiru out of here before Brad can spot her. ]

[Michiru breezes through without preamble and starts heading for the Habitat and the shops - though she looks back for you after a few steps.

Brad is completely oblivious to what Gold is doing ~~and to what a ridiculous picture they make~~. He'll keep doing that until he's finally free of the wall, however, and spots Natto.] Doof.

[ Here Haruka is, no worries. They can walk alongside each other for their errands. Very quickly, if the pace Haruka's trying to set is any indication.

Gold isn't expecting Brad to stop and thus bumps into him. He gives off a startled spark, but it isn't big enough to do much more than startle anybody else - and that only if they were observant. ] Jolt!

[ Natto had been cleaning up the storage room. Closing it, he turns to look at the Bidoof. The details here are kind of fuzzy, but he thinks this Pokémon is bothering Trainer's Trainer. And won't listen to reason, which is really sad, because it means everybody just stays aggravated. It's up to him to stall it somehow, though. ] Van.

[ Come on, Natto. Be brave. Save your Trainer! What can he do.....Natto kneels down so he's on Brad's level and starts making cats' cradles out of silk. Hello! Do you want to see him make art? ] Leavanny. Leava. Lea.

[ Bit by bit, he starts generating stickier silk...and holds it out for Brad's inspection. ]

[Michiru will match that pace. No complaints here.]

Doof. [Brad doesn't even seem to notice Gold bumping into him. Instead, he stares at Natto's cats' cradle thing for a long moment...and then tries to walk right through him.]

Van!

[ Oh, dear, this is not good. Natto is opposed to violence. He has enough height (and presumably Brad is moving slowly enough) that he doesn't get bowled over, but he does know if nothing's done he'll end up tripping on the Bidoof before long. Yet, Trainer, and Trainer's Trainer, are counting on him.

Natto takes a deep breath. Excuse him, sir! He's very sorry! ] Leavanny!

[ And then he kneels to try and trap Brad's paws in the cat's cradle. ]

[Brad is a very determined 'doof, but he's not a particularly strong one. Or a fast one.

Or an observant one, from the way he's walking right into that trap.

Aaaand if the silk is strong enough, he's gonna fall over onto the floor. It might take him a moment to register this change in perspective, judging from the way his paws keep trying to move for a few long moments.]

[ Natto hurries to gum Brad's paws up so the Bidoof will lose valuable time extracting himself, adding some String Shot to his usual silk. He's really sorry for this inconvenience, truly he is. There are lots of circumstances....But don't worry, he'll let you loose if you're not all better by dinnertime! (That should be enough of a head start for Trainer and Trainer's Trainer.) ] Leava vanny van.

[ Gold watches, confused. Was he supposed to...stop...the beaver? Maybe this is to save the walls. ] Jolteon.

[there's enough silk that even Brad notices that he's not actually getting anywhere.]

Doof!! [you can't treat him like this! He's the cutest doof ever!

There's a pathetic sort of wiggle, and then he's gonna try to roll his way out the door.]

Joooll! [ Oh, no, that didn't stop him! They're trying to stop him, right?

Gold looks to Natto for confirmation, but Natto is staring in dismay, unable to believe that his plan didn't work. Perhaps the two of them just aren't cut out for deviousness...

So it must be up to Gold! Off he bounds after the rolling beaver. Come back! ] Jolte eeee!

[nope. Too slow, Gold, even if you are supposed to be super fast. Brad's on...a roll. Right down the stairs.]

Dooooooooooooooooo....
