► fifth sketch [Video]

[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.]

O-oh, thank you.

[Salty priis happily at the queen in greeting and Namine makes sure the pokemon is bundled up with her.]

I'm sorry, I guess... I got really excited.

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

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

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

[Poor little sheltered Nobody.]

action

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

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

action

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

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

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

action

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

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

action

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

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

action

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

It's beautiful, isn't it?

action

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

I've never seen anything like it.

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...

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

[Points at Salty!]

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

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?

action

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

You can make it as big or small as you want, snow doesn't have rules.

action

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

What do I use it for?

action

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

You can either throw it, or begin stacking it to make a snowman.

action

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

How do you make a snow man?

[SHE HAS SO MANY QUESTIONS, SHE'S SORRY, MINNIE.]

action

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

[teaching is fun!]

You stack balls of snow on top of each other, and then decorate it to look like a person. Here, I'll help make the base!

[She kneels down, and begins piling snow together.]

action

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

[She kneels down and helps with that.]

... I'm sorry I don't know so much though...

action

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

There's no need to be sorry. Nobody knows everything, and I like to help.

action

Being in Johto is... the first time I can freely act like this. That's why I don't know a lot about simple things as this.
