[ Mimi looks and sounds positively giddy in the video message. She's practically bouncing out of frame as she announces: ]

Asami-san! I have a question for you!

[video]

[paishodown]

Sure! What is it?

[sincereheart]

[ Oh boy oh boy, here it comes! Mimi chokes down what might be a nervous giggle, then blurts out - ]

Are you single?!

[ Well, this week sure was the best timing to be back in the world of Pokemon considering there was the Circus in Goldenrod and they were offering flights for a small fee. Korra hadn't really expected to be able to meet with Asami so soon, but here she was, in the same city with the engineer after all that flying. Of course she had been all excited to see the Circus as soon as she heard about it, but then again she was much more excited to see her best (human!)friend.

Korra had been keeping contact with Asami often while she was traveling. Now that she's here, feet on the ground, ride returned to wherever the Pokemon wanted to go after bringing her to Goldenrod... She sends a video to Asami. ]

Hey, I'm here! Or well... [Korra turns the gear to show the Pokemon Center right behind her.] here! So come find me, or tell me where can I find you?

[Does she sound excited? Extremely excited, there's so much excitement that someone should almost try to keep her still.]

[paishodown]

Well what's the area you landed in look like, for starters?

[Asami asks with a small laugh. It still strikes her odd, to be seeing Korra like this. Vibrant and herself again.]

I know my way around the city, but I can't find you if I don't know where you are.

[goestoextremes]

[Ohhhhhh, good point. Korra should probably possibly maybe calm down a bit, but nope, too much to be excited about.]

Well, I could show it to you, but I see there's the Pokemon Center nearby... So let's meet in front of it?

[Of the three names she managed to narrow this down to, contacting Asami was probably the most awkward of them, after all, she had never spoken to the poor girl a day in her life, and she knew that Elsa was especially fond of her. Still, though, that would just make the whole situation even more heartbreaking for Elsa, and she really wanted to get this situation resolved as cleanly as possible, without Elsa hurting any more than she has to. And to do that, she needs a pretty clear understanding of what's going on.

Three names. Contacting all three of them and being too accusatory means that two out of three of them will be innocent, which might be a bit hard to play off. But, well, making sure Elsa got out of this situation happy was more than worth taking that initial risk.

...Of course, Anna could have waited until the play the two of them had went to go see was over, because she's actually furiously hammering away at this in the bathroom during intermission.]

Hello!!! I've never actually met you and I hope I'm not interrupting anything super important on your side! I also hope I got the right number but I guess I'll figure that out when you respond But this is Anna, Elsa's sister!! I have something kind of really important to talk to you about so message me back when you get the chance please!!!!! I need to figure something out!!

[That...should be good enough for now, she thinks!]

WAIT I FORGOT TO TURN THE PINK OFF

[paishodown]

[Wh...]

This is Asami, yes. Is something wrong?

[Here she is expecting that this could have something to do with the dreams...]

6/5; video

[defyingfrigidity]

[Hey, Asami. Have a shot of Elsa looking a bit pensive as she sets up this video message. Seems like something's been bugging her a lot, judging by how her demeanor is so different from how it was the last time they spoke.]

Hello Asami. This may seem like it's coming out of nowhere, but I have a question, concerning a... somewhat serious manner.

You were aware of the strange things that happened last weekend, correct?

[paishodown]

Yeah...?

[How could she not, really]

Everything okay?

[defyingfrigidity]

... Not particularly, no. [Hard to just beat around the bush here.] I just wanted to know... did you run into a man with red hair and sideburns at all? He should have been accompanied by a ponyta, as well.

[video; 7/9]

[defyingfrigidity]

[Good news, Asami! Unlike the last time you spoke to Elsa, she looks generally less stressed and unsure at the start of this message!]

Hello, Asami! I, ah... thought you'd like to know that Anna and I will be coming back towards Ecruteak City soon. She just got her badge here in Olivine, and we both thought it'd be more interesting to head back east and go to the gyms there, rather than cross the ocean now.

[Because hey ocean travel is still kind of a sore spot for the both of them, even after three years...]

Since we'll be in the area, I thought, maybe... it would be nice to meet up for a bit. If you'd like, that is.

[paishodown]

I'd love to! Did you want to meet in Ecruteak?

[This is good, some excuse to get out of the city. She's not sure she can find a reason to leave, otherwise.]

[video; 7/22]

[defyingfrigidity]

[Hey look, the background of Elsa's message looks familiar again...!]

Hello, Asami! Anna and I just reached Ecruteak City last night. I'm sorry I didn't contact you then, but... [A laugh.] It's been a few weeks since we last traveled, so it was a bit exhausting.

[translation: Elsa was out like a light as soon as they got their room at the inn whoops]

B-But everything's fine now! So, if you're still interested, we can arrange a time and place to meet up, if you'd like...

[honey we know you're excited to meet your BFF in person but you're repeating yourself, kind of...]

sorry I'm late af

[paishodown]

It's fine! Traveling on foot is... kinda miserable.

[And definitely exhausting.]

I got in a couple of days ago, so we can definitely meet whenever it's good for you guys.

[video | 9/21]

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy didn't mean to fall asleep at his costume/makeup workstation at the circus. But he did, and startled awake with a terrible realization. And he has to call Lust RIGHT AWAY.]

You need a costume, too! I don't even have a costume!

[He is not completely awake yet.]

[paishodown]

[ ... ]




[ What. ]

Why do I need a costume?

Video

[bent_the_world]

[The tiny black bead eyes and brown round head of a Sentret fills Asami's gear screen, before it's pulled back to reveal Korra's grinning face bent over the Pokemon. She's holding it in her lap, and she's changed into the clothes in her backpack.]

Look who joined us today! He doesn't have a name yet, but I think I'm getting the hang of this Pokemon thing.

[She's settled down for the night now, perfectly at ease camping out, even in the chill. Iqniq had a fire lit for them in no time.]

How's it going in your part of Johto?

[paishodown]

[ Asami's lying on her hotel bed, chin in hands and feet resting on her pillow when Korra's call comes in. She can't help a smile. She could honestly be content just watching Korra goof off with her newest addition. ]

Don't collect too many, you lose track pretty fast.

[ Says the girl with... four. ]

It's the same. Ecruteak is one of the quieter cities. Lots of art.

[ Asami's Flaafy comes over to settle next to her, instantly causing the side of her hair to stand up with static. This is so normal by now that she doesn't really mind. Especially with the current distraction. Korra's really here... ]

Video

[bent_the_world]

So.

[To make things easy, Korra sends the same video message to Asami, Elsa, and Anna.]

I have really ugly scarves for everybody.

[She holds up a jumbled handful of fuzzy colors, blue, red, and green dominant among them.]

There was this Pokemon who knitted a ton of scarves and she was so proud of them that her trainer broadcast a message about it asking if anyone wanted any. There were so many scarves, it's like all she does. So I grabbed us some, because a scarf knitting Pokemon is pretty cool, and they showed up today.

I do not expect anyone to wear them, but I was hoping we could get a picture with them on to show Shiruku. That's the Pokemon that knits. I can't stress how into knitting scarves this Pokemon is.

Iqniq's already claimed mine, clearly they make great gifts for Pokemon.

[And hey, ugly scarves are worth a laugh, plus it's a cute story. Korra thinks they can all use a laugh and something cute.]

Come get your very own, one of a kind, ugly scarf!

Action for Dec 21st

[bent_the_world]

Getting up before Asami wasn't an easy thing, but Korra managed it. She slipped out quietly, holding her breath the whole time, hoping Asami wouldn't wake up before she was ready. Anybody else could, just not Asami.

The dates and things weren't quite the same, but they were close enough - and shared the same basic annual pattern - that Korra knew it was the other woman's birthday. She also knew that being here wasn't exactly the most fun thing ever for her girlfriend. How could it be? She was away from almost all her friends, her home, her company...

So Korra was determined to make this a particularly great day. Which was why she was already dressed and waiting cross legged at the foot of their bed with a breakfast tray and a bouquet of roses dyed to look like Pokeballs.

Because everything was Pokemon here.

[paishodown]

Asami, not used to Korra moving before she did, stirred lightly. But she didn't wake.

When her morning workout alarm finally went off at 7:30 (she was on a lax schedule, here), she lightly rubbed her eyes and sat up as she pushed her hair back out of her face.

Birthday celebrations had come from unconventional places for Asami these past few years. The Air kids threw her little parties to... varying degrees of success, and her employees always recognized it in some way, but the day also had a way of reminding her what (who) was missing.

So when Korra was sitting patiently at the foot of her bed, miraculously wide awake and fully dressed with breakfast and flowers, Asami broke into a grateful smile. Of course. Leave it to Korra.

"Korra..." She tipped her head to the side, her gaze affectionate and thankful.

[Action; 1/29]

[defyingfrigidity]

[Elsa had woken up prepared for some kind of oddity. The past couple of fridays had been... weird. Not in a bad way, but she'd noticed a few strange behaviors on the network on each of those days; just enough for her to believe that something weird was going on.

So when today rolled around with no sign that something was off, she felt like she could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Even so, she can't help but pop in on all of her companions, just to make sure they were all okay. Which was why she was now knocking on Asami's door!]

Hey, Asami?
