seventeenth fault; video

[ The feed opens in the capable (if somewhat irresponsible) hands (claws?) of a cheerful-looking Axew. He bares his tusks for the camera in a grin, then turns it around to face the water off the beach of Cinnabar.

Miyuki wades thigh-deep in it a few yards away, stooped over and feeling around on the bottom with both hands. She glances at the 'Gear after a second and grins, sheepish. ]


Dropped my new badge.

[ Turning her eyes to the sky, she says: ] Been here a year today. I'm, like... eleven now.

[ She straightens, holding something shiny between her fingers. The sharp-sighted might recognize it as a bottle cap. With a frown, she tucks it into the pocket of her shorts and keeps searching. ]

I've seen a lot of dudes come and go, too. Friends and stuff, and also jerks. [ The insult doesn't have much bite to it. ] My brother.

People just up and leave, y'know? No warning or anything. I hate it. I'm... tired of it. How are you supposed to have friends or, like, even talk to people? As soon as you start — aha! [ She stops, raising her hands from the water again. This time, she's holding the Volcano Badge.

She dips it in the water once before she wades toward the shore. The camera tracks her progress with much shaking. Flopping on the sand just out of reach of the tide, she drags her bag to her and rummages inside for her badge case. ]


What was I saying? ... Oh.

[ Nestling the Volcano Badge in with the other thirteen — every badge except Viridian and Pewter (of all things) — she continues: ] A girl's just gotta depend on herself, I guess. Anyone else could just disappear or whatever.

[ She sounds a little sad and a lot resigned, though she's trying for nonchalant. The badges catch the sun as she tilts the case back and forth, studying them. ]

It gets kinda boring traveling by yourself, though.

[ Slowly, the camera's viewpoint begins to change. It rises higher, a scant inch at a time, and then becomes inexplicably wobbly. The sound of feet sloshing through water can be heard in the background, and the camera begins gradually moving further away from Miyuki. ]

Maybe after I get these two badges, I'll chill for a while. Work or something, maybe get, like, a house.

[ The camera teeters violently, then careens sideways, earning a squawking 'Xew!' from the cameramon, who — miraculously — catches the 'Gear before it hits the water. ]

Hey! Stupid! Gimme that!

[ The haphazard view of the water suddenly spins, revealing sky, then sand and surf and Miyuki's bare feet splashing into the shallows just before the feed cuts. ]

[Have a soft smile, Mi. Warm, genuine, softly spoken words.]

I'll try not to leave. Your Other Mother's here too, if you ever want to come home.

[And to finish, he can never stop saying it but...]

'Still proud of you.

Mm~hmm. Beginnin' of the month. I'm the happiest Other Father you'll ever see.

[He laughs, obviously making fun of the 'Other Father' part; he still wonders if there are even any others, though he's pretty sure he's the only one.]

The family's back together again.
pianokeys: (Serenade!)

A family Christmas is the best Christmas. And I'm sure you wouldn't want to miss present mountain.

[Seriously, he has enough money to spoil everyone at Christmas- but in moderation of course; can't go raising a spoilt child.]
