8th Prayer: The Big Kahuna
Action/Video at the Beach:
[Okay, this is just so adorable that even a dour, serious young woman like Rei can't help but share it with the rest of Union. The Warp Band starts up, showing a scene on the shoreline. In the distance is an enormous, slow-rolling spring storm heading inland. It's still many miles off, but the effects of it are already beginning to show. Massive swells, enormous waves generated in the distance by the storm, are breaking against the shore at regular intervals. Each wave is larger than the last, and they're predictable in their formation (as predictable as they can be, anyway).
Basically? It's a surfer's paradise.]
Well good afternoon everyone. It's been a while since I made a public broadcast, but I've never seen anything quite like this before. I thought it was worth sharing and recording for later.
[The camera zooms in on something out in the water, a small group of Pokemon on, you guessed it, surfboards. A Gardevoir, Treecko, and Riolu all seem to be in the shallows, paddling around and trying to get a feel for things...but the camera moves up and focuses on something else.
A Pikachu.
A Pikachu in little swim trunks, shredding away down the long trough of one of the larger waves, laughing wildly as the wind blows his ears back. He makes it through the entire trough before swerving back and coasting back in towards the other Pokemon.]
Ariel's been at this all afternoon, and he's been trying to teach the other three how to surf too. I had to do a little reading on the sport, but apparently he's pretty good. Has anyone else ever seen something like this?
Action that evening, Lake Shrine/Union:
[After the storm finally does hit the beach, Rei heads home, but decides to stop up at the Lake Shrine for dinner and a rest. She's built a small fire, but while she sets about cooking up some stuff, Ariel seems to have casually enlisted the other Pokemon in gathering up large wooden sticks and jabbing them in the ground in a wide circle. A few minutes later, he's lit all the ends of these poles up like torches and hops into the center of the ring to begin some sort of strange dance. Rei stops, watching the strange behavior before realizing that it's some sort of ritual.
She...doesn't really know what it's for, but after a minute or two she and the other Pokemon with her start to attempt to follow Ariel's steps, admittedly somewhat clumsily. Rei's never been much of a dancer, leaving that aspect of shrinework to her grandfather, but the Pokemon seems pleased that she's joining in. Never-mind that she'd never, ever let herself be caught doing this if she knew other people might be watching...
So, feel free to watch and wander up!]

[video]
Usagi-chan, I really don't think you're doing something wrong.
[She taps her own forehead, and that strange sigil appears on her own head, an arrow piercing a heart.]
I...think evolving may change your appearance. And, would you...like to join me? Deimos can come get you, and teleport you to me. I've got some extra snacks, and I think we should talk.
[video]
Well, you know I can't resist a good snack! Are you sure though it's no trouble? I don't mind walking to your place, you know.
[video]
Usagi-chan, I'm at the beach.
[And as that settles it, the Gardevoir vanishes and then appears a few feet from Usagi]
Are you ready, Usagi?
[video]
[ Usagi squeaks in surprise as Deimos just appears in her bedroom. She gives the Gardevoir a bright smile and waves in greeting. ]
Let me get changed and we can get going! [ She turns to Rei's feed. ] I'll be right there, Rei-chan!
[ Time to zip into some beach appropriate clothes, as well as gather up all her pokemon that'd really enjoy a day out at the beach! Which doesn't really take that long to hop into outdoor shorts and a shirt. ] Okay! Ready!
[video]
Alright, then let's go.
[Reaching out, the Gardevoir warps them back to the beach, and Rei's little camp. She's already set up a second towel, and her Pokemon are still surfing or playing around an enormous mound of sand. Phobos may or may not be cackling...]
[video ----> action]
When they finally get there, Usagi just takes a deep breath of the sea breeze and lets the warmth just sort of seep into her body before she taps her warp band and let's out Lucky, Blossom and Aqua to go have some fun in the sun. ]
Thanks, Deimos. [ She bows her head politely to the Gardevoir before strolling to the second towel that's set up. ] Rei-chan! I'm here!
no subject
So I see. Have a seat. I'll get drinks.
no subject
When she's satisfied, which really doesn't take that long, Usagi will do exactly as she's told and take a seat in the offered place. ] Okay~!
no subject
Here you are. It's fruit tea.
[Settling back down, she lays out on the towel and looks over to her closest friend.]
What is it that makes you think you're doing something wrong? Evolution comes at a lot of different paces.
no subject
[ The drink is happily accepted and Usagi takes a nice long swig of it. But, when she's done with the first sip, her demeanor turns more somber. ]
I mean... I've gone out and done things. Travelled to lots of places, and done lots of things... [ Usagi turns her hand over and she just stares at it. ] Outside of when you guys had to save me from the Driffloon, nothing's happened.
no subject
Hey, sometimes it's like that. Evolutions do need a catalyst, usually. Maybe nothing that's really caused it has happened?
no subject
[ With a loud and frustrated humph, Usagi falls back until she's laying flat on the ground and staring up at the blue sky. ]
I really hope that's not the only way. That'd really suck.
no subject
Nobody said you had to, but...you know the things that've caused my evolutions were...stressful or otherwise a little bit insane. I mean...honestly I'd almost consider it lucky, it's like you have a better head for danger than I do.
[Seriously.]
I don't really know how else to say it, but it's not something to worry about. It will happen, and...you know I've never doubted you were strong, right?
no subject
I mean, I guess I do. I never really thought about it because I always had you guys there with me.
[ That compliment on her strength causes blush to spread on her cheeks and she sheepishly glances at Rei once before looking away. D'aww look at that bashful bunny. ]
Well, no, I never thought that, but, it's nice to know....
no subject
Exactly. I don't want you thinking you're somehow less important, or behind, because you haven't evolved yet. Sometimes it takes a while. Eiji took almost eight months. I think Jinxie did too.
It's not a bad thing, it just...is...a thing
