Bout 012 (Video->Text/Action): Such sweet sorrow.

[This network post starts off in an ominous way: a primal scream of fury in a feminine voice, immediately followed by wood cracking.

For a second or two, the video shows nothing but a bunch of grass and dirt. But soon a worried-looking Banette picks the gear up, peering into the camera and then spinning the gear around. What she focuses on is a panting Chie, face red and twisted with anger, next to one of those wooden training posts you see in martial arts movies -- now half-splintered and at an angle to the dirt it's planted in.

Chie sees the motion out of the corner of her eye, and she turns to snap at the Banette.] Turn that stupid thing off!! [And Shadow does so right away, but an observant viewer will be able to see a hint of tears in Chie's eyes, if they're quick.

About three minutes later, Chie tacks a simple text post onto the end:]

yukiko went home.

[OOC: I am going to be tackling Chie's 17 backtags... eventually... but in the meantime, here is a drop reaction post. In case it's confusing, Chie searched the breeding center with her team, tried and failed to call Yukiko's gear, then tossed her gear into the grass, where it turned on accidentally. She's holed up in her bedroom now.]

... You're going to have to focus on kicking it in the opposite direction next time, to even things out.

*Opening with a light jest is never a bad idea, as far as he's concerned.*

[I hope Hayate doesn't mind not getting a reply for like ten more minutes or so! Because that's about how long it takes Chie to feel up to turning her video on again. She attempts a smile, but it's weak.]

I think that thing's a lost cause by now. Probably gonna have to make a new one.

*He expected as much when he replied, so he just lets out a light chuckle when she finally gets back to him.*

Aw... You aren't going to even try to break it clean in two with a finishing blow?

I was tempted. But I don't wanna risk busting a window or hurting someone.

[This is said in complete seriousness. When your usual finishing move can reduce a monster to a twinkle in the sky, this is a valid concern.]

[ have a knock. ]

[Silence for a few seconds. Then the wood creaks under Chie's feet as she rolls off her bed and walks over to open the door.]

Hey, Rise-chan. [Presenting the most pathetic smile ever.]

... Geez, Chie-senpai, you're not even trying-- [ she says mid-step, because she's already pulling the older girl into a hug. ]

[It isn't right away, and the text isn't decorated. Yumi struggles with what exactly to say to Chie. She knows she should say something, and she definitely doesn't want to ignore the punter. It comes about an hour after the original text is visible.]

Hang in there, okay?

[By now Chie has talked to a couple people and calmed down a little, so there's not much delay in her response.]

yeah, i will. thanks. it just stinks, is all. feels like she only just got here.

I know. I didn't get to talk to her much, but she was pretty great.

[text] I never did icon that comic, though I meant to

[Yosuke's pretty bummed too, but even he knows it's way worse for Chie.]

...u busy, chie?

[It's several minutes before Yosuke gets a response, Chie just glaring at her gear until she works up the energy to start typing.]

not really.
why?

hungry?

steak, my treat!

[there is also another knock on the door. THE DUDE KNOWS HOW HARD IT IS TO SEE FRANS GO ;A;] Chie-senpai?

[It takes Chie a few seconds to get herself up to answer the door. But she was there with Kanji when Naoto left, so she knows he understands. The door creaks open and she smiles up at him weakly.] Hey, Kanji-kun.

[he frowns as he steps closer.] Hey... I wasn't sure what to do so I made you a little Chousokabe doll... [and with that he lifts up the little Growlithe doll]

[Naoto isn't going to make Chie deal with anything face to face right now, so she'll just send a text back.]

I'm certain she'll come back.

[Chie isn't as certain, unfortunately. Kanji, Naoto, and Yosuke all reappeared pretty quickly after their disappearances, but months passed before Yukiko arrived again... She's not sure she wants to get her hopes up.

All she types out, though, is:] hope so.

She will. We'll all be here for you until then.

[...Naoto's a little bad at this comfort thing.]

[She has NO idea what's wrong, but- Yayoi's reaction is immediate.]

Ch... Chie? Are you okay!?

[Chie's response, however, isn't immediate. It's about five minutes or so before she works up the willpower to turn her video feed on. Any longer, and she'd have felt bad about leaving Yayoi in suspense.]

Hey, Yayoi-chan. Sorry if I worried you. Um, did you ever meet my friend Yukiko?

Eh...? Um- I have! I talked to her a few times, I think...
