► fifth sketch [Video]

[memorychains]

[The feed cuts open with a shrill prii, and a lot of view of snow. The camera dizzily pans around as the tiny egg pokemon holding it struggles to balance it, trying to catch up to it's trainer. Where is she?

There are footsteps deep in the snow, and Namine is standing in the midst of the white stuff. The expression on her face is one of pure wonder and curiosity, holding up a handful of snow flakes, not even seeming to care if she's staring to feel cold, despite the coat she's got on.

After a while, a small smile lits up her face as she giggles, tossing it up in the air and letting it rain down.

There's a shrill whine from the camera pokemon, and Namine runs over to pick up the egg. The view gets disoriented as the pokegear gets picked up along with it.]

Let's all go for a walk-- ...why is this open?

[The feed cuts off abruptly to the sound of Salty priing her explanation.]

[Once Namine is all wrapped up, she'll pull back.]

It's all right, I just wanted you to be safe.

[Way to ruin her mood. This text seems ominous. Vanitas' trolling taught her that.]

... hiding?

... it's... not dangerous, isn't it?

[Poor little sheltered Nobody.]

A little witch in white, amongst the perfect whiteness of the snow.

[She just fumbled with the gear at that, dropping it at the word "witch" as if her gear's suddenly possessed. So have some random text.]

No, but being in the cold too long can make you sick.

I think I'll be fine now, thanks to this.

[And she wraps the blanket more snuggly, giving the queen a thankful smile.]

My, stunned to silence already, are we?

action

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

Then I'm glad. The last thing we want is for you to catch a cold.

[It takes her a full minute before she gathers the nerve to reply.]

I'm not hiding.

I won't stay too long outside, I promise. I just really wanted to see the snow.

[usedgrassknot.livejournal.com]

No? Someone had to keep this place a secret, after all.

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

It's beautiful, isn't it?

action

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

I've never seen anything like it.

What do you even still want with me?

action

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

I love to watch snow build up... Back home, it wouldn't be long before all the children began to play in it.

action

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

How do you play in it?

action

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

There's lots of ways! Laying in it to make snow angels, packing it together to make balls and throw it at one another, building up snow forts, rolling up bigger balls and decorating them to make snowmen, riding sleighs down snowy hills...

action

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

[Salty scoots down from her trainer's arms, already making a tiny ball out of snow. Namine though is listening with rapt attention.]

action

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

[Points at Salty!]

Look, she's got the hang of it already! This snow can be packed together.

[usedgrassknot.livejournal.com]

Do I have to want something with you?

[locked; text]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

Then leave me alone.

Re: action

[Nobody see, Nobody do. She'll pick up a handful of snow, making sure the blanket doesn't fall off, and start packing it into a ball.]

action

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

That's really good! You're a natural.

action

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

Do I have to make it bigger?
