011 | Goldenrod City | Video / Action;

[It's a legitimately beautiful day in the neighborhood when the video comes on — the skies are partly cloudy but there are streaks of sun in places, and there's no snow on the ground. Rather, a bunch of probably incredibly confused plants have evidently decided that spring has arrived egregiously early this year, and are already starting to bud; the grass around is turning greener with every passing day, and ordinarily Parker would probably approve of that because green is objectively the best color, but today, she's...

Well.

From the looks of things, she's sitting against a tree in black jeans, a T-shirt, and a flannel hoodie over; her hair is long and a veritable mess, because she hasn't bothered to tie it back and she certainly hasn't bothered to brush it lately. And she's not really looking at the camera, despite being the one who intentionally turned it on. There's an equally tired-looking Eevee (one that, strangely, seems to be wearing a little white uniform with red trim) snuggled against her chest, and flanking her on either side are Nate the Mightyena (still in his dapper fedora) and Sophie the Ninetales (still in her diamond necklace collar), snug against her sides as though they're standing guard.

The camera angle is haphazard and sideways — not quite a Myspace angle, but clearly chosen without a whole lot of care for how the picture ultimately comes out.

Probably because it's a good reflection of Parker's mood right now.]


It's sixty-five degrees outside. In January.

[When she speaks, her voice is dull and flat — almost robotic, in the way she's just sort of pushing the words out.]

In January.

[A pause.]

Is the world ending? Maybe the world's ending.

[There's another pause, and this time when she speaks it's under her breath, more to herself than to the camera.]

Yeah. Maybe that's it.

[For a brief time, she doesn't say anything more, and then just when it's starting to look like she's forgotten she's still recording, the camera jiggles as her hand moves, and almost as an afterthought she switches the feed off.]

...No. In this sort of setting, a drastic change in weather might mean a specific Pokémon is effecting it.

[ But that's not the actual problem here, is it. ]

I don't know if that would work out well...that sort of thing usually makes the end of the world come faster.

[ ... ]

Waiting is hard to do...but if you're not waiting alone, I think it's a little easier.

...I spoke to Oowada-senpai when he posted, and...even without that, I think I would have found out...

...Probably someone would have mentioned it.

[ She's still hanging out in the house, after all. She had been inclined to leave and take advantage of the weather, but it just seems a bit...wrong? To leave when someone is in a coma? ]

There are enough people and pokemon around to guard him. It'd be bad for Eeveemaru to be cooped up.

[ Also, it'd probably be bad for you, too. ]

...Sitting still while waiting for things to happen is a little hard, for people or Pokemon.

...It's just that he's your brother...?

[ ... ]

...My sister and brother aren't here, but I don't think...

[ ... ]

If it were either of them, there wouldn't be anything that anyone could say or do to make things all right.

If you want to be not all right in company, we can go and do something together. If not...I can try to find whatever your favorite food is, and bring that home for dinner...?

[ This is apparently her new go-to solution for trying to at least do something nice for someone. Pick up some sort of food they like and feed it to them. Probably in silence, since she's cool with sitting quietly. ]

[ Give her a second to think about the Arcade layout. ]

Whack-a-Diglett, sure...I think there might be a Machoke Punch-Out! game as well.

[ The exclamation point is designated by Nanami preforming a little punch in the air.

...It's important. ]

All right. I have a lot of tokens for there, anyway.

[ What sort of question is that... ]

Yes, I do. I like sweet things when I can get them...

We'll power up from it for sure. ...Ah, where do you want me to meet you? I'm just at the house right now.

Sure. I'll be around. I think I'll let some of my partners play in the yard...

[ ...She'll probably end up falling asleep in the sunshine, let's be honest. ]

I will.

[ ...She'll set a timer. Although she suspects many of the others are checking in, if Nanami gives her word on it, she'll stick to it regardless. ]
