[Post 002] Video/Action Outside New Bark

[francia]

[The video comes on revealing a very, very pleased France. Yes, he's the kind of pleased that normally is associated with bedroom activities and winning a war. Marianne sits in the background, looking equally as pleased.]

We will eat well tonight.

[He holds up a number of KO'd Rattata and Pidgey by their tails and feet and beams with happy satisfaction at the screen.]

Are these better roasted or braised?

[He manages to control his hands from shaking although his heart is nearly pounding its way outside of his chest. He cards his fingers gently through Canada's hair as much for his comfort as the boy's.]

Are you hurt? Is anything in pain?

[Marianne comes over, stopping next to Sedna and staring at her with an expression that is mostly contempt but maybe a little bit concern.]

Vulpix?

[Action] sorry this is late, internet's been retarded :|

[Canada whimpers and shakes his head.]

I-is Sedna okay? [His voice is shaking and he sounds near tears.]

[Action] Aa~ it's no problem~ X3

[France cuddles Canada close before peering at the battlefield. Sedna lies on her side KO'd.]

Do you have Sedna's ball with you? I think we should return her to it until we get to Cherrygrove; she needs to rest.

[He spots the lone Pokeball sitting in the mist of everything and frowns at it, standing up with Canada in his arms and going over to Sedna and the ball. Marianne looks up, her head tilted to the side.]

Good job, Marianne.

Canada, is that your pokeball?

[Canada sniffles, spots Sedna, and breaks into tears.] O-oh no! Sh-she's hurt! [Heartbroken child time.] Please get up, Sedna!

[Whimper.] H-huh? Y-yeah...

[France absentmindedly bounces Canada, stroking his hair.]

You've caught a Pokemon then. Can you take out Sedna's ball? We'll put her in there until we get to Cherrygrove and we can heal her, okay?

[sniffle.] O-okay... [He reaches around until he finds it, and returns her to it.]

W-wait... I caught a pokemon?

[Action]

[He sets Canada down gently, squatting next to him and reaching out to pet Marianne's head warmly.]

Yes, you've caught a Pokemon. Good job, Canada.

How did they get back up, papa? [Canada reaches out to grab his pokeball.]

[Action] asdfjkl; so cute *A* omg

[France frowns, tilting his head to the side before shrugging.]

Perhaps God did not mean for us to eat them. Maybe He meant to teach me to have more respect for nature.

[He ruffles Canada's hair and grins sadly.]

We'll just have to be more careful for now on, I suppose.

Are we going to have to eat just plants, papa? [Slight pout! Canada likes meat.] And the gods have always been okay with my people eating animals before... Its not disrespectful, is it?

[Action]

[of-france.livejournal.com]

No, I will find an acceptable meat source as soon as I can. Do not worry, we will have roast soon.

[France likes meat, too. He grin and nuzzles Canada's hair.]

I think there are certain animals we can eat in this world. Just... maybe not the Pokemon. Maybe that angers the Gods here.

[Canada perks up. He has no doubts that his father is telling the truth.]

Okay, papa!

[He thinks on it for a moment.] Oh! So, they're sacred animals, then?

[Action]

[of-france.livejournal.com]

I... suppose they would be sacred of a sort. As we are both new here, we have to learn about the world, so we should ask when we get to town.
