There's got to be a flashlight in here somewhere...

[There's a soft, light voice coming from offscreen, pointing off into the water with scenery familiar to most beginners; just outside Mom's house, and the lights are off and that door looks quite locked. The user of this gear was patting around, rummaging through a heavy sounding bag, but... something in the darkness moves.

The rustling of plastic on grass is out of place enough to startle the voice, because there's a squeak.]

Is someone there? Hello?

[Nothing but more rustling, and it's weirding the girl out. Picking up the gear and finally flicking on the flashlight that was found, there's a brief picture of her face finally, but something is leaping off screen and making her scream sharply, dropping the gear.]

'Fraid not. You'll have to do with daylight 'till you can get somewhere that'll sell you one, unless you can bum one off the Professor-- ...

... You okay?

[fairycircle]

Y... yeah. I think I lost it. Um, moving trash bags with faces, is that... normal?

[foolishwren]

... Moving trash...

... Oh, god.

You got THAT for a starter?

... I am so, so sorry.

What do you ... mean? [SO UNSURE SOUNDING. And looking uncomfortable, lifting a hand to cover her nose when she looks down.] That's my starter? That.. that can't be right! [Guess who is in a tree btw-]

Well... MAYBE it's not. Have you looked in your bag for a ball?

_{[She supposes maybe there were just random... trash Pokemon wandering around. Wouldn't be TOO surprising...]}

...... [Her expression says it all. Picked up a ball and dropped it in the dark trying to see what it was, oops that's how this Trubbish got out in the first place.]

[foolishwren]

_{[... Yeah.]}

... I'm so sorry.

_{[All she can think of is to just... repeat herself. WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO SAY ABOUT GETTING A LIVING BAG OF GARBAGE FOR YOUR STARTER?]}

... I can get different ones so he um. He won't keep trying to hug me. Right?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Yeah, you can catch others.

Dunno if that'll make that one less touchy-feely, though.

[fairycircle]

It's worth a try! [sob]

[Heather can't bear to quash that hope, though. :(]</sub>

Yeah... it's... go for it, man...

[She doesn't look like she's believing her own words though, rubbing her face with one hand.] Unbelievable..
