garbagechild: They 'asked me not to come back', and i have been gracious enough to indulge them. They still know who calls the shots here (I'm not 'BANNED' from Olive Garden)

005. [Video]

[For what is possibly the FIRST TIME since this kid figured out how to hit the 'post' button, the video is actually STILL.]

[That's because he's set it down on a fence post. The pale, mystical feathers that have been coating every surface like magical dandelion fluff are drifting past on the breeze, but they're not the focus of the video. Instead, the 'Gear's camera seems to be pointed directly into someone's yard, although it's from a little bit of a distance.]

[The place is kind of a dump, with junk littering the corners and lots of weeds. A ramshackle doghouse is erected in the middle, with an upturned waterbowl that doesn't appear to have been filled in some time.]

[A coil of old, frayed rope is tied around one of the boards of the 'house' and at the end of it is a snoozing blue Vaporeon, ear-fins twitching lightly.]

[The view isn't especially zoomed in, but it's still obvious what the Pokemon is.]

[For a time, that's all the video shows.]

[But then Wrath speaks, his voice hushed.]



... I saw the man in that house come home and he didn't even PET her.

Or give her any food.

She looks sad.



[Half an hour later...]




[Now the feed shows HIM, and there's part of a rotten board stuck in his hair. And rope twines in his teeth. And he is cradling something blue that kind of overflows out of his arms in a pile of contented paws and fins.]

This is Sleepy.

She's blue and I love her.

[Cole, who is toting a bagful of eggs and keeps needing to stick his feathers back into his hat, didn't see the first part when it went up, but... he takes his time with it once he does have the time. it's an interesting post, and a concerning one.

he's curious and wants to follow up, but by the time he does, the second part is already in.

he thinks he understands what's happened here. and... smiles about it, speaks quietly so he doesn't bug the sleeping Pokemon through the 'Gear.

She is very pretty.

And she looks happier now...

[she's gone from being at the end of a rope in a yard to a child's arms, and she doesn't look uncomfortable over it, so of course she does. she looks loved!]

You helped her?
oubliet: (what do you think i'll learn next?)

[hey, Cole asked if he "helped", not "stole"!

but yup, that still answers it... and aww, it makes Cole even happier for the kid and the Pokemon!
]

You should...!

[and he doesn't sound like he doubts Wrath will.]

You already look like you worked very hard.

[pause. afterthought.] As long as you don't feed her too much. I don't think any animals like eating so much it starts hurting... or people, either.

[whichever one you count Pokemon as.]
