[Action to Video]

[oharas_child]

Somewhere along Route 29 heading out of New Bark Town is a little girl- and she's having a bit of a problem with her pokèmon.

It's a Lickitung.

And it likes her.

Robin struggles a little to get out of the coils of its tongue, feeling the paralytic chemicals penetrate her arms and legs. Her Lickitung wraps her closer, rubbing the side of her cheek with its own, affectionately. She tries to think of how to get out of this situation, finally remembering the video function on her Pokègear. Luckily, she'd been reading up on a wild pokèmon they'd encountered, and it was still in her wildly tingling hand. She cues up the video feed, hoping to get a message through before her body shut down.

[The video clicks on to reveal a young new trainer in distress, wrapped up in the overly affectionate coils of a Lickitung. It's clear from the image that she's near her limit, that she can't hold out against the creature's poison for much longer. She pulls her head away from Lickitung's excited nuzzling.

"Help!" she manages to gasp, then the nerves of her fingers seize up, the camera jolting wildly as her pokègear tumbles to the ground. The video times out and is posted automatically.]

Kid? You all right???

[justicereigns]

Damn it. That looks like Route 29.

[usedbravebird.livejournal.com]

It is Route 29.

[Kazooie has, if nothing else, a good memory.]

[justicereigns]

You can tell just from the video feed even with the giant tongue in the way?

[usedbravebird.livejournal.com]

Kinda.

[justicereigns]

Only kind of?

Shit, isn't there someone around there who's got an anti-paralysis remedy?

[usedbravebird.livejournal.com]

Is there anyone still around there?

[justicereigns]

Only people just getting here I guess.

There needs to be a faster way to get back and forth places.

Poor kid! [He stared, tapping the screen of his Gear, trying to see if he could ID that Pokemon since he never saw one before--but, apparently it would only do the trick if he were in close range.]

Damn. Well, that path isn't close to here... [As he stalks Kazooie, obviously.]

Hey, kid? Can you reach that berry bush to your right?

[The Lickitung waves a bottle of water at the screen.]

Not you! Hey, is she alright, you shitty monster?!

She's got slobber all over!

[It sticks its tongue out further and touches it with its paw, leaving a trail of sticky saliva. It goes over and rubs the saliva on her cheek.]

Licki?

Hey, don't mess with her while she's down! You're lucky she looks like she's still breathing! She--

...Robin... chan? [Taken aback, Sanji stares at the feed, feeling himself go limp.] Why are you...? [He remembered spotting those blue eyes, but the impact didn't reach him until she was fairly still enough.]

[Having been doused with water and then suddenly hearing her name, Robin stirs just a little, moaning. Her whole body feels funny and sluggish.]

[video]

[curly-brow.livejournal.com]

[He blinked a little--]

The water roused her, but... Damn it! [So, he's sort of digging these sedatives out of his pockets to use on Luffy, right...]

[justicereigns]

Hey. Pervert Prince.

Remember what I told you about Straw-Hat?

[video]

[curly-brow.livejournal.com]

Tcch.

I'll be handling this from now on. I get the situation.

[Tifa watched, confused to see such a small child wrapped up in a...what was that?

Thinking...

Oh! Aw jeez, she read up on those...this wasn't good.]

Hey! Now Lickitung, let go of her! [Tifa said it as sternly and serious as she possibly could, ah...children.]

[Video]

[oharas-child.livejournal.com]

[The lickitung blinks at the noise and looks around trying to figure out where it came from before going back to nuzzling Robin's cheek]

[Video]

[savedinapinch.livejournal.com]

[Okay....he did not just ignore her. And now Tifa's going all mommy! on this Lickitung.]

Lickitung...

[Warning tone? Like the same one you get when you just broke that lamp mom likes and she just came in and found you near it? Maybe...]

[Video]

[oharas-child.livejournal.com]

[It lays her gently on the ground, realizing she isn't moving, and looks around wildly.]

Tung! Tung!

[Yep, that's a lickitung in panic.]

[Video]

[savedinapinch.livejournal.com]

[Tifa sighed.]

See...look what you did.

Now calm down.

[Video] (Sorry for going AWOL! Had some RL to deal with.)

[oharas-child.livejournal.com]

[Robin begins to stir, the paralytic chemicals wearing off.]

Hmm?

[Video] S'all good

[savedinapinch.livejournal.com]

[Tifa sighs, relieved that the girl was moving again.]

Now Lickitung, get away from the girl, she's waking up.
