i. VIDEO
[ A familiar face is on the screen. She looks a little like she's been living life rather... uh, naturally. To the earth. Mud bathing, the like.

Despite that, though, she's looking good. Happy, even. Her pumpkaboo is clinging onto her shoulder, as per usual, as she looks around and starts to speak once she's sure the camera is on. ]

Uh- Hello. It's Shyvana here. I left rather suddenly last time, and for that I apologise. I am back now, and will be returning to my duties as a Sword of the Saviour. I look forward to serving you all. [ She bows slightly, and the pumpkaboo waves as the transmission ends. ]

ii. ACTION
[ Later during the day Shyvana can be seen slightly cleaner and more rested. She's walking around the shops, marveling at the various foods that come packaged these days and seeing if she can catch anymore familiar so she can catch up.

Her merry band of pokemon include a trapinch running to keep up, and aforementioned pumpkaboo rested on the Trapinch's head. They are rather small, so hopefully they don't trip anyone up while they're in a mad dash to catch up to Shyvana.... ]

There's nothing life risking out there. [ she blinks, not even knowing that it was something to be worried about. ]

And the world is so expansive. So beautiful. But so is the Union.

[morituri_nolumus_mori]

Are you sure? Most things have some kind of beauty to them. Most things can also bite your head off.

[ He's very sure of this. Plenty of pokemon out there with mouths as wide as his chest. Most of them happened to have sharp, meat-rending teeth too. ]

[bellyofthebeast]

Well, that is true. But how can we know that these wrap band thingies won't tighten and snap our hands off?

[morituri_nolumus_mori]

... Eh? That's rhetorical, right? They don't actually have ... a history of doing that?

[ Cue panic. ]

[bellyofthebeast]

Not as far as I'm aware, but if you can think it, it has probably happened or will happen at some point.

[morituri_nolumus_mori]

Thanks. That's just what I needed. More things to worry about. I'll be grey in no time.

[bellyofthebeast]

I'm sorry- I didn't mean to worry you. It is simply something that I thought was obvious.

[ uh oh. ]

Pretend I said nothing.

[morituri_nolumus_mori]

It's too late. The thought's there now. When I think I'm safe, it'll slink out of whatever desk it was hiding under and loom.
