[Video]

[The feed starts with a simple black and white picture, moving slowly and occasionally skipping to catch up with the action. It appears that whoever is recording is in the industrial district and is panning the camera around to see everything. The clean-up efforts are still going on, but things are, for the most part, back in order. There are voices of people haggling over scrap parts, people and Pokemon having conversations; a cacophony of sights and sounds.

After a few moments, the camera moves to a young woman's face, and even with the limited video capability, you can tell she is positively beaming right now.]

Can everyone see this? Isn't it amazing? The engineers are geniuses, I never would have thought that I could actually record what was happening right in front of me! We should try to chronicle our lives for the generations after us, so they can see how we live. The people before us had ways of leaving a mark, even if we can't fully understand it right now, and now that we can take video of the things that we see, we should take advantage of it!

I'd love to see what other people might record. What kinds of things would you like to leave for the future citizens of Union and, well, beyond?

[There's a voice behind her, gruff and imposing, and Lux turns her head.]

Sorry, I'll be right there!

Anyway, my break is over. Think about it!

[ACTION]

[The same young woman from the feed earlier is seen leaving an inn, head lowered a bit. She looks exhausted, a bit dirty and now extremely discouraged.]

Sometimes to get through life you gotta hurt people, so the best you can do is minimize the damage.

I... I'll try, but...

[How do you even bring something like this up to someone gently and elegantly? She sighs.]

In the meantime, I want to do as much as I can, see and experience as much as I'm able to. That's what I told myself when I left, so I suppose there's that, but I don't know. At the same time, I hate to go too far from Union when I know I'm expected to come back.

[A beat. She smiles awkwardly.]

Anyway, sorry. I'm not usually such a downer.

No problem, just take it one day at a time, yeah?

One day at a time, huh? Hmm.

Well, I would like to get paid, first off. Then, I don't know.

Well you said yourself you don't want to go at night so go ahead and rest up, we'll go knock him around tomorrow.

[But books D:

Well, she is tired.

But books! DDD:]

Yeah, that probably not a bad idea.

Did you need any blankets or pillows? Hell if you want you can take the bed, I don't mind.

[She immediately flushes.]

What, no, I couldn't! I could never sleep in a man's bed that wasn't my husband's!

Eh, suit yourself. Blankets? Pillow? Glass of water?

[She makes a bit of a face. What, he didn't mind strange women in his bed?]

A blanket and pillow, if it isn't too much trouble.

No problem, coming right up!

[As promised, he returns shortly with a blanket and a few pillows]

[And in that time, she's made somewhat short work of that bowl of soup, most of it drained. She was obviously hungry, but manners and all that.]

Thank you.

No problem, did you want more soup?

Huh? Oh, no, I think I'm all right. It was good, thank you.

[A thought. Camille was probably done with work for the day, although she informed her there might be some... complications. She did have a place to stay, but she didn't want to impose and take her out of the habitat for the night either. She couldn't exactly ask, though...]

Again, I'm really sorry about this. I'll make it up to you somehow.

Like I said, don't worry about it. Let me know if you need anything else, are any of your Pokemon going to be sleeping here too?

[Did he read her mind? Well, he was a psychic type, wasn't he?]

I told Camille that she would probably have to stay at the habitat for the night, and she wasn't too pleased about it. I really don't want to be a bother, though.

Hey if she doesn't chew up my furniture or try to steal Spark's bed it's all good.

I don't think she'd do any of those things, no.

Or murder me in my sleep. That's a big concern too. But yeah go ahead and bring her in, I don't mind.

She wouldn't do that either, you're being ridiculous!

[She activates her warp band and teleports Camille in. She looks around confused. This didn't look like an inn, it's too dirty to be an inn. Lux winces a little at that as the Dratini starts to slink around, finally seeing Ezreal.

She immediately stares back at her human. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE WITH THIS MAN LUXANNA.]

You sure about that?

[LUXANNA IS THIS HIS APARTMENT WHY ARE YOU IN EZREAL'S APARTMENT WHY DIDN'T YOU WANT HER TO STAY WITH YOU TONIGHT IS THIS WHY ARE YOU CHEATING ON FAI WHAT IS GOING ON THIS PLACE IS DIRTY AND SHE THOUGHT YOU HAD BETTER TASTE THAN MUK BREATH EXPLAIN YOURSELF]

No, she's just mad at me for, uh...

[RABBLERABBLERABBLE. GLARE AT EZREAL.]

For not sending for her sooner.

Edited 2014-02-12 06:02 (UTC)

Riiiiight.

[Moving toward Ezreal, she stretches herself out so she's just slightly taller than him, looking down.

Do anything to her human and you're a dead man. Lux flushes at that.]

Camille!

[Then she backs down and curls up around her. She's still going to stare daggers at him.]

Sorry, I don't know what got into her.

[Ezreal laughs]

Well, anyway I'm heading to bed. If you need food for you or Camille check the pantry, I threw the leftover soup in the icebox feel free to heat it up.
