3rd Dia: Dulcinea [Video/Action]

Action on the Tropical Island.

[If you happen to be wandering around the island today, especially walking along the beach, you might be a little bit surprised to find yourself passing through an area that looks a little bit like it'd been hit by several meteors...or a series of miniature volcanic eruptions. There are large patches of sand that have a glassy sheen to them, or deep divots and furrows all around. The surf is just beginning to wash away some of it, but there was definitely something going on.

If you keep going, you'll actually find a teenage girl laying under an umbrella a little further on down the beach, the entire area blanketed in harsh sunlight. She looks a little beat, scuffed and bruised up, and laying down beside her is a Noivern that looks similarly exhausted. It's chest rises and falls and it's eyes are closed in sleep, tail curling around the umbrella protectively, while several other scamper around, playing in the surf. A Cherubi, a collection of golden Exeggcute, and a Cubchoo seem to be playing some sort of game, tossing a rock at a Venusaur. Every time the rock gets close, it's smacked away by a vine, almost effortlessly at that. It seems like they're trying to get those rocks into a small crater behind the big plant-toad, and...failing.

Either way, Yukiko doesn't seem to be completely aware of her surroundings, or of anyone approaching. This is probably good, given that she's trying out a Calderan swimsuit for the first time and she wouldn't be caught dead wearing one of those around other people.

Whoops...]


Video:

[The video feed opens up to show a sunny beach, little paws covering part of the lens for a moment as Teddie accidentally slips up getting it off his trainer's wrist. He and Bereth have a surprise for her, after all.

Setting it down in the sand, he scampers a little ways off and whistles, waving a snotty paw to get Bereth on screen. The Noivern complies, stretching and standing upright, tapping his chest with a claw like a singer might before they start belting out a song.

And then...the horror begins. The audio feed is filled with a horrific shriek, though it seems to have an actual melody to it. The little Cubchoo appears to be attempting to sing along, but the noise is just so great that he's completely drowned out.

In fact, the only other thing audible over the explosive burst of sound is a feminine cry of surprise, dismay, and rage.]


OH MY GODS WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! WHY ARE YOU...STOOOOOP!!!

[Yukiko appears on the video now, leading with a flying tackle to the big dragon. The noise abates so your speakers are no longer about to explode...]

AND YOU TURNED ON THE WARP BAND TOO?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU TWO?!

[Someone hasn't quite gotten their hearing back completely...but the band is snatched up and she looks apologetic...]

SORRY EVERYONE! SOMEONE'S GOING TO BE SLEEPING IN THE HABITAT FOR A WHILE...

It's a swimsuit. What is it with Unionites and panicking if they see a stomach?
celebrity_commentator: (hmph)

threadjackjack not sorry

I agree with our guest here. Fashion moves on from time to time, you know, and there's no reason to guilt-trip Yukiko for trying something new!

I think I'm a bit more offended by people getting pissed off at Calderan fashion since I am Calderan. That suit's modest.

[Gordon frowns, mustache straight.]

In my day, that counted as half-naked. And I did not 'panic.'

I understand that fashion changes, especially these days since we've found other cultures, but if that suit is modest, I am afraid of what passes for immodest.

Don't worry, Yukiko, you didn't do anything wrong at all here.

[Despite being an Analyst with telepathic abilities, she can never quite seem to find the point of a conversation.]

If you did it's their fault, miss.

[Gordon notices Yukiko's upset and sighs. He hates being the bad guy. Spent most of his life trying to be rather the opposite.]

Miss? Considering that you clearly didn't intend that swimsuit to be seen, perhaps you'd be happier on audio only?

[A moment's pause.]

How old are you, young lady?

[It's almost as an aside. His attention almost immediately redirecting, expression going a little harder.]

As for you two. She's not in trouble, I'm not arresting her for public indecency, or anything like that. Despite what some troublemakers like to characterize us as, the Swords aren't Morality Police.

Young man, while that suit might be quite modest by Calderan standards, it is quite the opposite by Union standards. Yes, you're Calderan, and, as a young man, you probably have drastically different opinions about young women showing skin than an old man father of two, but it's not just Caldera her pokémon broadcasted to.

[The most unamused face]

You just said the Swords are the morality police and yet you're lecturing! You didn't have to comment on her swimsuit, old man. What's it matter what she's wearing if you aren't her dad?

[Gordon processes that, tone growing softer as he addresses Yukio, almost apologetic.]

Old enough to make your own decisions. [And deal with the consequences.]

[The apology in the tone is gone as he returns to Kili. He's not angry, but there's a certainty in the tone. Like mountains. Strong, reliable, certain.]

It's not her I'm lecturing, son. I've already said all I'm going to say about her choice in swimwear. It started as an honest mistake on my part. As for you. If you want this old man to display a little cultural understanding about what your civilization considers 'modest' it might be worth extending a little understanding of your own and realize that this is very likely the first time I've ever seen anything that revealing called swimwear.

["Adult.']

If you see Chie, please tell her Gordon says thank you again for the help with Mike. The move she tutored him with has been a big help.

Take care, ma'am.

[He nods his head in acknowledgement, and cuts his feed.]
