Pokemaids - Omake #2

[21:27] <[BNS]Komacho> [Pokemaids: Omake]
[21:27] <[BNS]Komacho> *It is early morning at the campsite*
[21:32] * [BNS]Komacho is off a ways, sitting and meditating next to a small pond
[21:35] * MissD hums around, looking for new victims to play with.
[21:44] * [Mys]Violet smoookes
[21:46] * [BNS]Komacho is faintly glowing as she sits with head bowed, murmuring lightly to herself.
[21:48] * [Rut]Absolution is in her usual position -- distanced from the rest of the group, staring off in some direction or another.
[21:51] <MissD> <Ah... My next target~>
[21:52] * MissD slowly approaches behind Violet, floating, she smiles widely.
[21:54] * [Mys]Violet puffs rings of smoke. Lonely circles that lazily waft in the air.
[22:00] * [Rut]Absolution senses... something. Not the greater darkness that she had felt earlier, though it was still present. This was something insignificant by comparison. And more immediate... she thinks.
[22:00] * MissD goes semi-transparent and slowly slides out the cigarettes she's been using and hides it within her then drifts away just as silent as before.
[22:00] <[Rut]Absolution> <Perhaps I am tired...>
[22:03] * [Mys]Violet continues to puff away. This cig will last a few moments more...
[22:10] * [Mys]Violet finishes her cig and reach for another... . o O ( I could have sworn I left them right there...)
[22:12] * [Mys]Violet looks for her cigarettes. She asks everyone she finds...
[22:13] * [Mys]Violet stumbles on Komacho... She seems to be unsteady. Stumbling over herself.
[22:13] * [BNS]Komacho is startled by Violet!
[22:14] <[BNS]Komacho> <Oh... umm... hi?>
[22:14] * [BNS]Komacho grins at Violet as her aura fades...
[22:14] <[Mys]Violet> <h-Hey. Y-ya wouldn't have happened-d to notice my cigarettes anywhere? W-would ya?>
[22:15] <[BNS]Komacho> <Nuh-uh. Did you check all your pockets?>
[22:15] * [Mys]Violet shivers though it isn't even cold out.
[22:15] * [Mys]Violet nods. .oO(Not here either...)
[22:16] <[BNS]Komacho> <You know, you seem to be losing your cigarettes a lot lately. Maybe it's a sign that you should give them up. I've always tried to tell you how bad they are for you, you know...?>
[22:16] * [Mys]Violet turns and shambles away. She doesn't have time for this...
[22:17] * [huh]Sublimia lounges under a shady tree.
[22:17] * [BNS]Komacho stands up and chases after Violet!
[22:18] <[BNS]Komacho> <Hey, I'm serious! I could help you out! We could exercise together and train together and then you'll forget all about those silly things~!>
[22:18] * [BNS]Komacho bounces around Violet clapping excitedly!
[22:19] <[huh]Sublimia> <There's no sense trying to convince her, dear.>
[22:19] * [BNS]Komacho turns to Sublimia
[22:19] <[BNS]Komacho> <Sure there is!>
[22:22] <[huh]Sublimia> <You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.>
[22:26] <[huh]Sublimia> <Isn't that right, Violet?>
[22:27] * [Mys]Violet breaks down and starts crying. Her legs buckle underneath her.
[22:27] * [BNS]Komacho runs up and catches Violet.
[22:28] <[BNS]Komacho> <Hey, hey, careful!>
[22:28] <[huh]Sublimia> <I think that means she agrees.>
[22:32] <[huh]Sublimia> <Poor thing.>
[22:32] * [huh]Sublimia has no sympathy in her tone.
[22:40] * [Mys]Violet passes out.
[22:41] <[huh]Sublimia> <...Is that it? How boring, I thought she'd entertain me more.>
[22:41] * [BNS]Komacho carries Violet back over to the camp where she lays her down on a sleeping bag and tucks her in
[22:42] <[BNS]Komacho> <We need to figure out some way to break her habit...>
[22:42] <[huh]Sublimia> <If we just keep her away... of course, the result until her system's clear will be as you see. Probably dreadful suffering.>
[22:38] * [Tess]Kovacs floats over to the group from somewhere else, attracted by the commotion. Upon arrival she looks around, trying to make sense of things.
[22:40] * Sara` , unlike usual, is away from the group by some distance. It's not clear exactly why, or what she's doing, unless it's simply being existent.
[22:43] * Sara` sits on the grass, gaze directed into the open sky...
[22:43] <[Tess]Kovacs> <Er... something happening?>
[22:44] <[BNS]Komacho> <Violet ran out of cigarettes and got really sick. I want to help her try to break her habit, you know?>
[22:47] <[Tess]Kovacs> <I see. Doesn't sound like it'll be easy, though, since she probably won't cooperate...>
[22:48] <[BNS]Komacho> <Yeah, but it's for her own good. She's gotten so bad, lately... like when she yelled at all of us because she forgot she had them in her other pocket.>
[22:48] * [BNS]Komacho looks down at her feet dejectedly...
[22:51] * [Tess]Kovacs nods in a similar mood.
[22:51] * Sara` runs a hand through her hair. Soon after, she looks towards the others.
[22:51] * Sara` . o O ( ... Something has ahppened? )
[22:52] * Sara` takes one more look at the sky, then picking herself up and beginning to walk over towards the others.
[22:56] <Sara`> <You both look down.>
[22:56] * Sara` declares, as she arrives.
[22:56] <[BNS]Komacho> <Violet's sick. I want to help her.>
[22:59] <Sara`> <Sick? Oh, that...>
[22:59] * Sara` sighs.
[22:59] <Sara`> <While I know I would not do that, myself...>
[23:00] <Sara`> <She does so of her own will.>
[23:00] <[BNS]Komacho> <But look! It's not healthy to pass out just because you went 5 minutes without smoking a cigarette!>
[23:01] * Sara` nods slowly.
[23:01] <Sara`> <... Yeah.>
[23:02] <[Tess]Kovacs> <So  what, are we just going to restrain her?>
[23:03] <Sara`> <That's not only difficult, but also tramples her rights.>
[23:03] <[BNS]Komacho> <...I don't know what to do. I was hoping Sara would know...>
[23:03] <Sara`> <While smoking is harmful, we would still be doing that based on our own opinion...>
[23:04] <[Tess]Kovacs> <Would you rather let her?>
[23:05] * Sara` looks Kovacs straight in the eyes.
[23:05] <Sara`> <Yes.>
[23:05] <Sara`> <... though I do not like it.>
[23:07] <[BNS]Komacho> <Maybe Sara can do some kind of Psychic thing, like make Violet /think/ she's smoking a cigarette but she's really not!>
[23:09] * Sara` turns to Komacho.
[23:10] <Sara`> <... This... Smoking, it doesn't work that way.>
[23:10] * Sara` . o O ( ... and I never want to manipulate anyone like that... )
[23:10] * [BNS]Komacho tilts her head curiously
[23:11] <Sara`> <First off, it's a choice. Often, people start because it is a stress reliever of sorts.>
[23:12] <Sara`> <Secondly, cigarettes develop a physical addiction.>
[23:12] <Sara`> <Once you've had too many, your body starts demanding them. Going without after that is unpleasant, from what I know.>
[23:13] <[Tess]Kovacs> <That would explain how she's reacted so far.>
[23:14] <Sara`> <Yes.>
[23:14] * [BNS]Komacho is crestfallen
[23:14] <[BNS]Komacho> <Then... how do we help Violet...?>
[23:15] <[Tess]Kovacs> <She can get over it if we keep her away, but she won't like it.>
[23:19] <Sara`> <Well, I can say I don't like her smoking either. It's an unhealthy habit.>
[23:19] <Sara`> <But at the same time, you can't stomp on her right to choose as a thinking being, so...>
[23:19] <Kirarin> <That's not really a big of a deal isn't it?>
[23:20] * Kirarin sit somewhere nearby, grooming her own fur.
[23:20] <Sara`> <Maybe the best course is ->
[23:20] <Kirarin> <We have Poke'Center for that.>
[23:20] <[Tess]Kovacs> <Um... when did you get here?>
[23:20] <Kirarin> <How convenient our life has become...>
[23:20] * Sara` glances back at Kirarin.
[23:20] * [BNS]Komacho looks over at the sudden interruption, sees that it's Kirarin and suddenly gets very quiet.
[23:20] <Kirarin> <For a little while.>
[23:20] <Sara`> <Haven't seen you around much.>
[23:20] <Sara`> <And they're not perfect.>
[23:21] * Sara` . o O ( ... requiring use of pokeballs... ) She grimaces inwardly.
[23:21] <Kirarin> <She can ruin her health as much as she want. Poke'Center sis will fix her right up.>
[23:22] * Kirarin hmph.
[23:22] <Kirarin> <Just like when we are almost torn apart in battle and being sent there.>
[23:23] * Kirarin gets back to tending to her beauty.
[23:24] <[BNS]Komacho> <That's a horrible thing to say! I remember back when Master first caught me! Kovacs and Sara made me all dizzy, and then next thing I knew, I woke up in one of those glass boxes they put you in with all kinds of tubes sticking out of me! Why would you want that to happen to Violet?!>
[23:24] * [BNS]Komacho clenches her fists and looks downwards...
[23:25] * Kirarin grows silent.
[23:25] <Kirarin> <we... get used to it. Like it or not.>
[23:25] <Sara`> <It's still harmful. Pokecenters can't rewrite minds.>
[23:26] <Kirarin> ...
[23:26] <Kirarin> Myu.
[23:26] * Kirarin lets out a single voice of....discontent?
[23:28] * [BNS]Komacho turns away from Kirarin in a huff.
[23:28] <[BNS]Komacho> <You're so selfish.>
[23:28] * Sara` lets the point sit, opting instead to make her idea of a plan known.
[23:29] * [Tess]Kovacs looks at the two, seemingly wondering which of them to address.
[23:29] <Sara`> <... In any case, we can do little more than offer Violet advice or ask her to stop, and then help if she wants us to.>
[23:30] <Kirarin> <not like I really care...>
[23:30] * Kirarin turns her back to the group.
[23:33] * Sara` has had her back to Kirarin for several moments already, as of the now.
[23:33] <[Tess]Kovacs> <And why wouldn't it make a difference to you?>
[23:34] <Kirarin> <Why does tool care for another tools in the same shed? You tell me.>
[23:34] * Sara` twitch.
[23:34] <[Tess]Kovacs> <Ah, so that's why.>
[23:35] <Sara`> <We are hardly tools, you know.>
[23:35] <Sara`> <You think. Breathe. Eat.>
[23:35] <Sara`> <As do the rest of us.>
[23:37] * Kirarin doesn't have any comment for that.
[23:38] * Sara` keeps silent, with her back decidedly towards Kirarin.
[23:43] <Kirarin> <So you say.>
[23:44] * [BNS]Komacho turns back to Kirarin, pointing at the Vulpix in a manner totally unlike herself.
[23:44] <[BNS]Komacho> <This is just like you! Caring only about yourself and not about other people's feelings!>
[23:44] * Kirarin curls into a ball.
[23:45] * Sara` lets Komacho handle this argument.
[23:45] <Kirarin> <Why should I? I don't need others to survive....>
[23:46] * Sara` laughs once, but then catches herself.
[23:47] * [BNS]Komacho narrows her eyes and walks over to stand over Kirarin, looking down at her.
[23:48] <[BNS]Komacho> <Then why don't you /leave/?>
[23:48] * Kirarin is stunned.
[23:49] * Kirarin thinking of the day she were alone in the forest. Branded as the "different" one from the mass.
[23:49] <Kirarin> <I...>
[23:49] * Kirarin move back a bit.
[23:49] * Sara` . o O ( ... This has gone just a bit too far. )
[23:49] <Sara`> <Komacho, stop.>
[23:49] * Sara` turns to face the two.
[23:50] * [BNS]Komacho suddenly snaps out of the rage she's in and blinks a few times, realizing what she's doing.
[23:51] <[BNS]Komacho> <I...>
[23:51] * Sara` walks over and places a hand on her shoulder.
[23:52] * [BNS]Komacho brushes Sara's hand away and runs away from the group!
[23:52] * Kirarin curls even more. Cold... in various meanings.
[23:53] * [Tess]Kovacs floats after her, but thinks better of it after a moment and stops. What to do...
[23:54] * Sara` just watches her go, hand frozen in the air...
[23:54] * Kirarin find a comfortable shade to hide.
[23:54] * Kirarin is now a golden ball under the tree.
[23:54] * [BNS]Komacho is crying as a million things float through her mind, making it impossible to think straight. She just runs.
[23:54] * Sara` , following a few silent moments, walks over to Kirarin.
[23:55] * [Tess]Kovacs sits on Kirarin and thinks.
[23:56] <Kirarin> <G...Get off of me...>
[23:57] * Sara` glances at Kovacs, waving in the direction Komacho ran.
[23:57] <Sara`> <Would you...?>
[23:57] * [Tess]Kovacs moves half a meter further up, still thinking, and then takes off after Komacho.
[23:58] * Sara` focuses her attention on Kirarin, now, sitting next to her. o O ( I'll have to thank Kovacs later. )
[23:59] * Kirarin just curls. silenced.
[23:52] <[BNS]Komacho> [End]
