leaf 011 [text; action for Goldenrod; past midnight]

[bookmarking]

Seven and Lotus are gone.

[Ten minutes pass before she texts another message.]

If you could contact one person from your world right now, who would it be, and what would you tell them?

[Private to Santa]

I've got an extra Eevee. [The last one had been given to June.] Want him?

[People who are out at this hour or who decide to go looking for a pink-haired girl will find Clover strolling toward the radio tower, obviously wanting some real alone time. Her long pink hair is down, so no pigtails tonight. That jacket is buttoned all the way up to her ribbon, and she has thrown a coat over everything. While she's still in a skirt, her legs are in pale pink leggings. Gear in hand, she just walks idly on, a downcast expression on her face.

There is much on her mind...not only Seven and Lotus' disappearances, but also Snake, her older brother. It felt like an eternity since she had discovered that he was gone. Probably three months, more or less? And she was beginning to miss him again.

Actually, she always missed him. She had friends in Johto, sure, but...no one could ever replace her brother.]

[combat_butler]

*Hayate has a rather busy set-in-stone nighttime schedule, part of which involves some super late training and midnight errands. So while he wasn't out with the express purpose of hunting Clover down, he still manages to spot her not too long after he checks his gear and sees her text post.

At which point it takes him a moment to recognize her since her hair is down.*

Ah, is that... Clover-san? *trotting up!* It's kind of late to be wandering around town, isn't it?

[action]

[Clover stops and turns around at the sound of someone calling her, tucking some of her pink hair behind her ear. She tucks her gear into her pocket and stares at him.]

...I should say the same for you.

[nankurunaizer.livejournal.com]

[Oh, it's Clover. That's worth responding to, even if Hibiki is sleepy.]

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

Me too. I wish I got to know her better.

And I'm OK. Just walking around.

[It was true. Of all the participants of the Nonary Game, Clover thought she knew about Lotus the least.]

[northerncrosses.livejournal.com]

My manager, I suppose, just to tell her that I'm doing just fine and she doesn't need to worry.

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

Are you and your manager close?

text; if the text bothers you, i can drop it, just let me know!

[usedwindything.livejournal.com]

text; It's fine!

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

It is. Even though I wasn't too close to them, I liked having them around.

[hasavision.livejournal.com]

id tell my mom im okay and i miss her.

[Text]

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

Aw, that's real sweet. I'd tell my mom the same too.

text, y-you didn't see any journalfail...

[usedslam.livejournal.com]

text; I SAW /NOTHING/

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

I guess being in Johto is kinda like having an adventure.

Is he a younger or an older brother?

[cynicizing.livejournal.com]

[....

He's not sure how he should feel about this. On one hand, two less complications running about. On the other hand...]

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

[EVERYONE'S DROPPING LIKE FLIES.]

OK. I'll bring him tomorrow. Or later.

[text]

[clicked-3-times.livejournal.com]

My Aunt Em. I would tell her that I am safe and not to worry.

[text]

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

But sometimes, even if people tell us not to worry, we still worry, right?

text -> action okay with you?

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

I'd call my Captain, and tell him that I missed him.

{Her thumb hovers over the send button for a while before she finally presses it. A chill wind blows through Goldenrod's streets, and she huddles closer to her Charmeleon, moving quickly towards the Radio Tower.}

action IS GOOD.

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

[Clover was about to reply when the wind blows past her, whipping her coat around her and playing with her loose hair. With one hand she tries to keep her hair under control, and turns...

...to see a figure headed toward the Radio Tower. She remains where she is, watching.]

My brother, just that I miss him, and always remember he's there when others don't. Even if it doesn't always show.

Sorry about your friends though. Or at least I think they are?

[Text]

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

Sort of. I guess I could sorta call them my friends.

That's real nice of you, thinking of your brother like that.

[S-so many people in Johto have bros. SHE CAN TOTALLY RELATE.]

[text]

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

My mom.

I'd want to tell her that I'm okay... that she doesn't have to worry about me.

[text]

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

Knowing moms, they might still worry anyway.

But that'd be a big help. Telling her you're OK, I mean.

[stolemyfries.livejournal.com]

man, if i could contact one person from home.
i guess it would be finn.
he's kinda like my really cute little brother.

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

Wow, a lot of people here have brothers. Or people who're sorta like brothers.

It's not your fault.

Are you an actor or a singer or something?

I guess so...

Vassal? What year is it where you're from?

[text]

[darkenedgales]

my kids. [Sure, they're not 'one person'. SO WHAT.]

I'd tell them big brother is okay and misses them.

[text]

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

[CLOVER'S NOT COMPLAINING.]

You call your siblings your kids?

[text]

[nota-kaijuu.livejournal.com]

[text]

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

I'd contact more than one person too if I could.

[miniworth]

I'd tell my sister to make herself warm before she goes out in the cold.

[Text from a shota walking out of a store close by. He didn't expect her to be that close, though.]

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

[She doesn't notice yet. Her back is turned and the breeze is lifting her loose hair, now that it is no longer restrained in pigtails.]

If she can win some gym battles, I think she can remember to keep herself warm.

[text]

[tensaizenzai.livejournal.com]

My nephew. I'd tell him I'm in a world of Pokemon. He'd love that.

[text]

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

Is he into video games?

text ; I'm so laaaate

[phoenix-temple.livejournal.com]

I think if I could, I would talk to Umi-san. I would tell her about all the monsters here. She would never believe me when I told her dogs breathed fire and hatched from eggs. [Sincere? Sort of. Fuu would waste a call home to do that, just to hear Umi freak out. But she'd do it for the moment of normalcy that came with it. Those she loves know it already, and that's the most important thing.]

It's hard when people go home from here... but there's the consolation that it might be better for them.

text ; LATE DOES NOT EXIST HERE

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

I don't think my friends back home would believe me either if I told them about walking flowers and electric mice.

And you're right. Maybe it's better for them. For us, even.

[a morning text]

[fullmoonstory.livejournal.com]

I would probably let Flynn know that I was all right and not to worry. [she is so sure all he's doing is worrying.]

Who would you talk to?

[a morning text]

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

Friend of yours?

And I'd talk to my brother.
