53 (Boat Builders)

[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?

Oh, my! Is he all right?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Yeah! I mean-- last I checked in, anyway.

He and Henry made a raft.

[Video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

A raft? Why?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

You didn't hear?

The flooding in Cianwood was awful, apparently.

[Video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

Oh, dear... I wonder how long it will take for every place to recover.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Who knows.

This seems like it was on a bigger scale than the flood from the summer before last...

_{[... Oh god. It's been a long time, hasn't it...]}

[Video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

... Yes, that was when I first arrived, wasn't it.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Yeah.

_{[There's a sort of incredulous chuckle from Heather's end of the line.]}

We've been here a long time, haven't we?

[Video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

Time seems to be another one of this world's oddities.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Heh, yeah... I'll say.

... Do you... ever wanna go back? Home, I mean?

[Video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

Yes.

[Not even a flicker of hesitation.]

As much as I love this place and the friends I have made here, my kingdom is my home, at my husband's side.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Yeah... makes sense.

You've got a lot to go back to.

[Video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

However... I still want to find a way that our worlds can always be connected.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

... Sora said something kinda like that.

He wanted to look for a way that everybody could still see each other after they went back home.
