usedgalacticpunt | 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.]

hungry?

steak, my treat!

[Is she hungry? It's sad that she has to ask that question, because usually the answer is an auto-YES. Still, the lure of free steak is too much to resist.]

sure, why not? i'll be down in a sec.

k
ill B by the door

[And true to his word, he is. With a pretty forced smile plastered on his face.]

[Look at that, we match! Chie's smile is just as weak and fake as she trudges down the stairs. She can already tell it was a good idea to get out of the bedroom, though -- considering it was the bedroom she had shared with Yukiko until now.

As she approaches Yosuke, Chie lifts her arm in a... less than enthusiastic wave.] Yo.

...Hey. Ready to go? [His smile's still weak. Man, he thought steak would do the trick, so wat do now?]

[Silly Yosuke, you should know already Yukiko trumps any steak. It's a good start, though!

Chie shrugs one shoulder in response, nodding.] As I'll ever be!

[He knows that, but he hoped it would help a bit more than what he's seeing. Well. He opens the door, chuckling halfheartedly. Yep, he's still bad at this.]

Let's get a move on then - before it starts getting crowded. I don't wanna have to wait for a seat.
