► tenth sketch [Video]

[Well, Johto, your intense and abnormally bipolar weather has finally taken its toll. This camera feed is rather wobbly and shaky. But that's because its holder is fond of flying around the place and twirling in midair. Naminé's pokemon are outside and milling about, enjoying the sunshine for once. And the girl?

She's there, looking uncomfortable as she's on a pink bike (she's wearing leggings together with her usual white dress, okay) one foot on the ground and obviously looking like she has never done something like this before.

The camera flies in as its holder chirps her encouragement to her trainer, and Naminé grips the handle bars tightly before starting to push forward.

She manages to go forward a little, rather wobbly and slowly, but it doesn't take long. The gear suddenly gets dropped with a cry of "tiiic!" and the feed shows a view from the side, with a Vaporeon dashing worriedly off cam just as a crash of metal is heard. There's a faint "ow..." and some chattering from her pokemon.]

I'm okay...

is action okay?

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

[Because Roxas is going to be running over to check on her. Stupid bikes]

yup, action we go then!

[You think his own accident would make her rethink this bike thing, but she's too curious for her own good. Her arm's got a small cut and scrape on it but apart from that she looks fine, on the ground and trying to calm a worried Salty hovering over her. The stupid thing is on its side, and has to push it out of the way a little since her foot is still caught under it.]

I'm okay, Salty, really.

[And here comes Roxas. Hoo boy.]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

[And Sparky will worry at you Namine, while Roxas lifts up the bike to free her foot]

Are you alright?

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

I'm okay.

[She looks at her arm, then to the deathmachine, plucking her wailing egg pokemon from the air into her arms to calm her down]

I was just trying it out...

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

[A nod. He did that to]

Harder than it looks, right? It's easier when there's other people around.

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

Did you figure out how to ride it?

[Salty won't stop wailing and she glances down to where she's flailing her little arms at. Oh, she's got a cut. She thought it might come to this.]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Sort of. Heather and Xion helped, so I think I have the hang of it. I should probably practice more, but now I actually have the chance to skateboard.

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

Which do you like doing more?

[Sea drags over her bag to her feet and she kneels down to get a bandaid from it.]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Skateboarding, definitely.

[He reaches over to try to help.]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

[It's on her elbow too, so she has trouble reaching it to place the bandaid properly.]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

[he nods, opening the bandaid to put it on the cut]

At least it's just your arm.

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

My knees hurt a little but apart from that, I feel fine.

... you had it worse, right?

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I hurt my ankle and hit my head. It wasn't fun.

[Still, he doesn't like seeing his friends hurt]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

[That gets a giggle from her.]

How did you even crash into a wall?

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

It wasn't a wall. It was a lamppost. And I was out of control and slipped on some ice. I didn't know how to use the brakes or anything.

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

You... didn't ask people first before you tried it?

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

It looked easy enough, so I thought I could do it on my own.

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

I think we'll need help on this.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It's easier if you get someone to help you.

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

[She'll dust her knees off before glancing at him.]

Are you planning to beat the gym leader soon?

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I am. I'll be halfway done after that.

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

Are we leaving soon afterwards?

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

That was my plan. I was hoping to go to Olivine City soon.

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

You're really eager to get the badges.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

I guess I just like having a goal to work towards.
