Video | But home is a feeling I buried in you
[This... is not a Warp Band which has been active - or within range - in a long while. The image is fuzzy and looks somehow grubby, perhaps to be attributed to the fact that the device has spent almost a whole year stuffed into the bottom of a bag.
The young man on the screen, though, doesn't look like he needs any help looking like a mess.
The fair feathers covering his head are ruffled and matted, and on one side of his head they show signs of having been singed by something. What can be seen of his clothes looks like rags and tatters, repaired in places with caterpie silk, woven vines, feathers, wool... all manners of debris. The once-blue gemstone attached to his forehead looks dull, now faded from blue to dirty yellow. From what can be seen of his face and body, he's not only incredibly filthy, but also a large number of meals short of a healthy weight. He has a nasty-looking cut on the left side of his face, running right across his eye, which is swollen and looks infected.
He offers the camera a bleak, apologetic smile, and the chipper tone in his voice sounds incredibly false.]
Hello everyone. I'm, ah- My name is Fai Flourite. I went missing from Union last autumn.
[He shifts a bit. There is a muffled splash followed by the aggravated chattering of a Floette off-camera, and Fai winces.]
I'm currently a bit... stuck. I'm on my way home, but- mm, I don't think I should be Teleporting in a while just yet. Last time I did, I ended up in a swamp. Which, incidentally, is why I'm a bit stuck.
[He attempts a laugh, but it sounds pathetic. He averts his eyes, as if he can't even face the camera. His voice drops into a mumble.]
But I'm coming home. I know I must've worried some people, and... I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
[And with that, the feed cuts out.]

He's just managed to activate his location beacon on his Warp Band, and manages to find enough of his voice to mumble:]
My coordinates should be transmitting and... ah, I think Mr Sunshine might have heard the word "fire", because he just torched a bush. Lucky I'm in a swamp, huh? [A feeble laugh, with more bewildered hurt than anything else behind it.]
Please don't trouble yourself too much, though. I'm just exhausted - I'm not too badly hurt.
no subject
[Yuuna flips out her band, and checks the signal, easily catching that distress beacon and nudging the Dragonite into the sky. A cream colored blur flashes up, and then there's sky.]
You've been missing for a year. Hurt or not, I'm going to insist on you staying in the medical ward for a few days once we get you back. Standard procedure, but I'll make sure you get a comfortable room.
no subject
I won't make your life harder by protesting or anything like that. I understand that you must do your job.
[It sounds unbelievably reasonable to come from someone like him, but it mostly comes from not wanting to cause anyone any more trouble, any more hurt. Hestitantly, he adds:]
My- My parents will be able to visit, right?
no subject
They will. And I'll have the medics put in extra chairs. You'll have plenty of visitors, and I'll make sure you have the best of care.
I'm glad you're remaining calm, Fai. Just give us a bit, and we'll be there. I've linked up with Feliks now. Look for a pair of dragons.
no subject
I don't have much of a choice. If I wanted to run away again, my pokémon have had to carry me. And they wouldn't be very cooperative.
[A pause, then:] I'll be here. Help him.
no subject
[Yuuna flashes a smile, electricity crackling in her eyes when she does.]
We'll have you home before you know it. With tea, cookies, and warm sheets.
no subject
[Fai sighs shakily, trying desperately to sound at least a bit like his old self.]
I could kill someone for real tea that isn't just boiled mint leaves, I think. And a bed that isn't alive one way or other.
[And actually having conversations with human beings on a regular basis. And knowing someone else is going to make everything alright.]
no subject
[Her laugh is weak, rather unsteady. She's always been bad at rescue operations, and even worse since her Awakening. Having a typing, and instincts? It just means she has new emotions, and she's not always the best with comfort.]
It'll be alright. Promise. Don't worry about that.
no subject
I don't really have the energy to worry too much about anything right now. But just wait until I've recovered. [A sigh.] Until then, I won't even attempt it.
