53 (Boat Builders)

[her_mouse_jesty]

[Video/Action for Olivine, especially the home that has definitely seen better days by this point. Minnie is quite busy at their hand-made house. With what, you may ask? Well, as typical, Yen Sid the Medicham is playing with the Pokegear, so when it flickers on, you see...





Well, the human version, anyway.]

All right, everyone! We've got a lot of work to do, and I won't have any slacking. We're going to have lots of guests staying over in the future, so we need to return this place to tip-top shape! Understand?

[There's a small bustle of growls - The smaller 'mons are out to help - Azumarril, Kirlia, Jolteon, Noctowl, and Seel. They all have cleaning equipment saddled on, such as rags, brushes, mops, buckets, soap, etc.]

Now, Mickey and Clarabelle will handle the washing, but we've got some flooding to clear out, and that'll be... Yen Sid!

[Uh-oh, he's been caught. She storms over, and snatches the Pokegear out of his hand, tsking.]

You're not going to slack off this time, mister! Now go join everyone else.

[Booo :| But off he goes. Minnie sighs, and looks at the Pokegear. It's hard to tell, but she's smiling.]

Well, hello everyone. I hope everyone's faring well now that the disasters are over. As you can see, we're going to clean up the damage as best we can. Once it's all spruced up, you're welcome to come and visit us and stay here in Olivine anytime. Heehee, is this what you call free advertising?

Castle? [... Are we suddenly back to medieval times or something THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS CASTLES ANYMORE--]

... You're some kinda princess or something?

[video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

Queen, actually.

[she says just so darn casually. like yeah. i'm a queen. so what.]

[video]

[darkenedgales]

[Actually, he'll agree on that. You're a queen. So what.]

Huh... they still have those where you're from?

[video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

Why shouldn't they? Every word is different in their own ways.

[video]

[darkenedgales]

I guess, though it sounds a bit outta date for me! [Even if they used to have a king until recently, but that's complicated.]

[video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

That's just how it is back home. Always has been, and always will be.

[You are far too much of a sweetheart.]

Fine, but then I do something for you.

Your monsters- do you have preference which one I bring with me? Would bring more, but think other Rockets would get suspicious.

[Video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

Oh! That's so wonderful of you, Ivan! I couldn't possibly choose which one over the other... I love them all equally. Bring whatever you think would be best.

[Video]

[meatysoviet]

Will see what I can do then~

Should get ready to travel if am going to be there soon- will let you know when I am almost there, yes?

[Because he will set off right away!

... As soon as the door stops swaying.

Damned door.]

[Video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

That would be nice. I'll get right to work to prepare everything! I'll see you soon!

[soggypastry]

We can rebuild the house. Put yourself first and we'll all get through this.

[Because another kidnapping would have all of Johto up in arms, that's for sure. Best it just doesn't happen. ever. again.]

[Text; Locked]

[her_mouse_jesty]

Thank you, Lightning. I give you my word... we're all get through it together.

[nasa_dreams]

You're awesome at taking charge of things. I don't think a cleanup has even crossed anyone's minds yet.

[her_mouse_jesty]

Oh, you flatter! I'm sure everyone's just been too busy to do it yet. Give it time.

_{[Dear god is Heather glad the bad weather's over and done with.]}

Holy crap...

The storm really did a number on your house, huh?

[Video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

It hasn't been the most pleasant experience. But I am very glad to hear from you! Did you fare out all right?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Ugh, if camping in the rain and sitting in an electricityless, rained-out building forever is 'all right'...

_{[IN OTHER WORDS, yes she is.]}

Looks like the cities next to the ocean got the worst of the flooding...

[Video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

At least the worst of it is over for now. The weather here truly is unpredictable.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Yeah, it is...

_{[A hell of a lot more than she'd like it to be.]}

How bad's the damage?

_{[The place doesn't look totally OBLITERATED so that's good, at least!]}

[Video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

There's a lot of flood damage, since we leave near the ocean... and those trash Pokemon didn't show us any mercy. But we'll definitely fix everything up!

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Yikes.

Well, m'glad no one was hurt, anyway.

... If I didn't have ... people to be ferrying back over to Cianwood, I'd offer to help.

[Video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

If only that was true. My dear friend Lightning was injured during the storm... but she's faring better now. She's in the Pokemon Center.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Light-- oh, jeez.

_{[She's only talked to Lightning a few times, but she knows who she is at least.]}

What happened?

[Video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

She was fighting the trash and trying to clear a pathway on the routes when a tree fell on top of her. But she's recovering nicely now, and the nurses tell me we have nothing to worry over.

[nasa_dreams]

Well, it sure looks like the water types'll be working overtime for awhile.
