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.

[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.

combat_butler: (Don't get the wrong idea...)

*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?
herolegs: (it's not easy being so awesome)

[video]

[personal profile] herolegs 2011-10-02 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
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.]
combat_butler: (Ooooonnnneee mooooore thiiiiing.)

[personal profile] combat_butler 2011-10-02 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
Haha... What's a little property damage when you're venting?

*He can tell she's serious, but hey, so is he.*
herolegs: (why am I the sane one here)

[personal profile] herolegs 2011-10-02 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
I dunno, it feels like we just finally finished cleaning up after the last big disaster. I don't want Souji-kun to have to scold me for messing it up again.
combat_butler: (My Maria Impression.)

[personal profile] combat_butler 2011-10-02 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
Just say I encouraged you to do it to the point you got frustrated and did it to keep me quiet! I'll take the full brunt of the blame.

[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.]
herolegs: (I'm going to mock you now)

[video]

[personal profile] herolegs 2011-10-02 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Chie finally gives in and laughs at that, lifting a hand to her mouth.]

If I didn't know any better, Hayate-kun, I'd think you just wanted to see me break something!
combat_butler: (Fuckin' Stakes. How do they work?)

[personal profile] combat_butler 2011-10-02 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
*Yeeeeeees a small victory*

Uh oh... It sounds like my true objective has been revealed! Now I'll never get to see that training post become just another star in the sky...

[identity profile] restardom.livejournal.com 2011-10-02 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
... Geez, Chie-senpai, you're not even trying-- [ she says mid-step, because she's already pulling the older girl into a hug. ]

[identity profile] sunshine-fruit.livejournal.com 2011-10-02 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
[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?
herolegs: (sympathy for the devil)

[text] that is the most appropriate icon

[personal profile] herolegs 2011-10-02 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
[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.
herolegs: (no sir I don't like it)

[Chie's got enough energy left in her to complain:] W-Well, excuse me for being a little --
herolegs: (alas poor Yosuke; I knew him Souji-kun)

[personal profile] herolegs 2011-10-02 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
[And then a hug is initiated, and she abandons the sentence, leaning forward to return it. She may be clinging. (She's totally clinging.)]

[text] I got to use it icly (yay)

[identity profile] sunshine-fruit.livejournal.com 2011-10-02 07:26 am (UTC)(link)
I know. I didn't get to talk to her much, but she was pretty great.
herolegs: (I have to go lol forever now)

[video]

[personal profile] herolegs 2011-10-02 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I'm on to you now! [The victory continues with another laugh.] Not that I'd mind showing off my skills a little.
combat_butler: (I'll give it my all!)

[video]

[personal profile] combat_butler 2011-10-02 07:35 am (UTC)(link)
Uwaaaa~h! I might get to see the amazing martial skills of Chie-sama after all?! I'll have to get ready to record it, to show future generations of aspiring kickers!
herolegs: (I'll pass on the Tuesday stew thanks)

[video]

[personal profile] herolegs 2011-10-02 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
"Chie-sama"? Careful, I might get used to that! I'm signed up for that tournament that's coming up, if you're gonna be here for it. [Her smile falters at that -- she'd been looking forward to showing off for Yukiko. But she rallies.] Sounds like it's gonna be pretty big!
herolegs: (I tire of your foolishness)

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

[personal profile] herolegs 2011-10-02 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
yeah, she really is.
guess i should just be glad i got a little more time to see her, huh
combat_butler: (He was unconcious when I got here!)

[personal profile] combat_butler 2011-10-02 09:50 am (UTC)(link)
Ahaha... I won't be in the area for it, unfortunately... I'll definitely be watching the people who broadcast it though!
combat_butler: (Bout to lay down some TRUTH.)

[video]

[personal profile] combat_butler 2011-10-02 09:52 am (UTC)(link)
... so I must apologize, since there won't be a over sized "Give 'em hell, Chie-sama!" sign in the crowd.

[text] it is glorious

[identity profile] sunshine-fruit.livejournal.com 2011-10-02 11:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Unbeknownst to Chie, Yumi is reminded of her father. It's the closest experience she has to what Chie is going through.]

You should. It's funny, but even the small memories will make you smile for weeks to come. I promise.

Besides, it's not like it's good-bye forever.

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

...u busy, chie?
