her_mouse_jesty[Minnie has been in Saffron, diligently training Scrooge the Hoothoot and Yen Sid the Medicham, and in fact is letting them roam around freely ever since she got the latter returned to her. Medicham is even allowed to play with the Pokgear again, as Minnie is walking around town, so that's why the Video is on. Actually, Minnie is far too invested in her book to pay attention to what either Pokemon is doing. You can see the title is 'Wuthering Heights'. Why is she reading that instead of her usual fairy tale? It's a Christmas gift.
She reads as she walks, which isn't exactly a good combo. She does eventually lift her head, tapping the book to her chin in contemplation.]
Maybe he really was a prince all that time - eek!
[aaand then she trips and falls headfirst into an open garbage can, with her legs comically kicking out on top. Kids, don't read and walk at the same time, unless you're Belle.]

2012-01-04 07:21 (UTC)MINNIE! Are you alright?!
You, Medicham, help her up, now!
[Uuuh, shouting orders through the Pokégear to someone else's Pokémon... let's just say he likes taking chances.]
no subject
2012-01-04 15:14 (UTC)I-I'm all right, really! ... Though I'm afraid to find out what this smell is...
[As for Medicham, he seems to be shaking... oh, no, wait, he's repressing laughter.]

2012-01-04 15:24 (UTC)[Medicham pouts. Aw man, why do you have to be a tattle-tale?]
Live up to your name this instant, young man!
[Fiiine! He huffs, and goes up to the can. He calmly grabs one of her legs, then hoists her up. She quickly yanks down - up? - on her skirt to prevent fanservice before he puts her on the ground. There's much debris in her hair.]
Ooooh, I hate being tall!
[... still very short in human standards, but she still considers it tall.]
no subject
2012-01-04 15:46 (UTC)What, exactly, made you think that reading while walking was a good idea?
[While his tone is a little harsh, he's not being mean, he was just worried, etc.]
no subject
2012-01-04 15:52 (UTC)Well, I really wanted to know if... Oh! The book!
[it's still in the can! She quickly gets back up and sticks her upper half in it again, until she digs it out, brushing off any trash on it.]
Thank goodness, it's okay...
[Yen Sid starts laughing, can't help it this time.]
no subject
2012-01-04 15:56 (UTC)I suggest you teach proper discipline to that Medicham.
no subject
2012-01-04 16:02 (UTC)I suppose I have been a little... lax on his training, ever since I got him back. I was just so happy to get him back that I've been letting him do what he wants.
[Yen sid grins... then gives an 'oof' as Scrooge the HootHoot makes an appearance, sitting on his head.]
I was hoping he'd be like my others, and be like his namesake.
no subject
2012-01-04 16:10 (UTC)[He seems a little intrigued by the Hoothoot. He likes owls, what to do.]
no subject
2012-01-04 16:17 (UTC)Yen Sid. My husband's master, and the one who taught me how to use magic. He's a great, wise man who has advised the royal family for many years.
[This may have had more of an impact if she wasn't pulling food out of her hair.]
I owe a great deal to him.
no subject
2012-01-04 16:47 (UTC)[Because ever since evolving his Kirlia and realizing the potential of the Psychic-Fighting combination, he wants to get as much of that action as possible.]
no subject
2012-01-04 16:51 (UTC)[Satisfied with her hair, she begins wiping the book clean with a handkerchief pulled from out of her bag.]
The first Christmas I spent here, everyone woke up to find a Pokemon egg at their side. It was like a gift from Johto, and so he was my gift. Speaking of gifts...
[She hugs the book.]
Thank you.
no subject
2012-01-04 19:21 (UTC)On the other hand, I am rather content with the gift I did end up receiving from Johto, so I suppose I cannot complain.
[Seriously, for a moment there he was afraid he'd have to spend his entire salary on tailors.]
no subject
2012-01-04 19:31 (UTC)[and maybe she can give him one, is that obvious implication.]

2012-01-04 19:43 (UTC)no subject
2012-01-04 19:51 (UTC)... Beldum, Metang, and Metagross. Well, I'll try to keep an eye out for them.
no subject
2012-01-04 20:05 (UTC)What do you think of the novel so far?
no subject
2012-01-04 20:10 (UTC)... It's so sad. Treating Heathcliff that way, just because he's different... and then to take out revenge on those innocent children...
[She sniffles a bit, then pouts, stubborn.] Oooh, it's as if everyone is at fault but then it isn't! It's so unfair. It's almost like there won't be a happy ending.
[but happy endings are in ALL BOOKS, aren't they?]
no subject
2012-01-04 20:42 (UTC)I'm pleased to see that you seem to be enjoying the experience, at any rate.
no subject
2012-01-04 20:46 (UTC)And it is nice to read a new book. It feels like I haven't read anything since I first came to Johto... unless you count the guide we all get. Back home, we had a gigantic library, it could take up a whole town, and I'd try to read a little every day.
no subject
2012-01-04 20:50 (UTC)A... gigantic library? How fascinating. Is it public, or does it belong to the royal family?
no subject
2012-01-04 20:53 (UTC)[but the subject of home cheers her up, at least.] Public, of course. Anything that belongs to us belongs to our people. All they ever have to do is ask.
no subject
2012-01-04 09:58 (UTC)A-are you alright miss?!
no subject
2012-01-04 15:14 (UTC)Oh, dear... I think so?
no subject
2012-01-05 05:34 (UTC)Are you sure...? Do you need any help?
no subject
2012-01-05 15:08 (UTC)no subject
2012-01-04 19:44 (UTC)[Cobra's just laughing at the video.]
Maybe you should watch where you're going next time!
[And more laughing.]
no subject
2012-01-04 19:51 (UTC)This isn't funny!
no subject
2012-01-04 20:55 (UTC)[Still cackling at Minnie's misfortune, yep.]
no subject
2012-01-04 20:58 (UTC)[but all of her kicking around makes the can move, and it crashes onto its side on the ground, with a big 'OOF' from Minnie.]
Ewww...
no subject
2012-01-04 22:55 (UTC)Maybe next you can roll down a hill from inside that thing!
no subject
2012-01-04 22:59 (UTC)Oh, I hate being tall...
[... though in human terms, she's quite short.]

2012-01-04 21:17 (UTC)[she wails, but Medicham is laughing his head off. HootHoot flies over, trying to grab her by the foot and take her out, but he's just a little birdie and only manages to take off her shoe.]
no subject
2012-01-04 21:20 (UTC)I can save you! Not to worry! It'll be awesome and heroic and-- you're not in Olivine, are you?
no subject
2012-01-04 21:22 (UTC)[there's more wiggling in the can as if she's trying to push herself out. It doesn't quite work.]
no subject
2012-01-05 01:47 (UTC)[ beat. ]
You can DEFINITELY do it!
no subject
2012-01-05 01:52 (UTC)[the can falls on its side with a THUD.]
... Oooh, ewww...

2012-01-07 16:34 (UTC)Oh... um... not really... ewww, this food is old!
no subject
2012-01-07 16:38 (UTC)[She winces and covers her mouth.]
Oh, well...
no subject
2012-01-07 17:00 (UTC)[she wiggles... and then the trash can falls onto its side, THUMP.]
Owww!
no subject
2012-01-07 18:25 (UTC)Oh, Minnie!
no subject
2012-01-07 18:40 (UTC)I'll have to shower for days...
