[ The video is shaky, as whichever Pokémon recording trudges through the sand of the beach. The weather in Cianwood is beautiful today--blue sky, blue ocean, white sand and a slight breeze! You can see an orange pool float bobbing up and down on the waves, with a family of electric mice soaking up the sun.
And there's Miles, sitting on the sand.
He's clearly got no agenda to get in the water with the short sleeved shirt he's wearing, or the book lying open on his lap, but he's enjoying summer in his own way. Jason the Cubone is sitting right next to him, diligently building a sand castle. He needs help often, though, so Miles isn't getting much reading done because he keeps having to hold the bucket for his Pokémon or dig a moat with him...
and the camera-mon finally reaches the pair, setting the gear down on an upturned bucket before a Charmander waddles into the screen, plopping herself down on one of her trainer's knees. Miles rubs her head and turns to the camera, picking it up. He's grown used to it recording without him intending to.. :|a
He's in a pretty good mood today. ]
Ken and I've arrived in Cianwood. I could have done without the ferry ride, but this town is quite beautiful. I've never really been to a beach before, either...
I was told on the way here that there's a place called a Safari Zone nearby--what is it, exactly, does anybody know?

Date: 2011-08-06 08:38 am (UTC)...
It might help. And I won't tell anyone, I promise.
[video]
Date: 2011-08-06 08:42 am (UTC)Thank you, but riddle me this. If a friend of yours right now told you that the world would be better off without them, that another person has much more reason to have survived something than you--would you agree?

Date: 2011-08-06 08:48 am (UTC)She thinks for a moment. Her answer is sharp and straightforward, and her eyes are narrowed. Nothing at all like the calm, I'll-be-the-big-sis figure she was just seconds ago.]
No! They're my friend, aren't they? Then that's one reason why they should be around!
[video]
Date: 2011-08-06 09:06 am (UTC)I'd tell them about the leaf words...about remembering to have faith, hope and love in order to have luck...
I'd tell them all the reasons why the world is a better place with them.
[Clover is taking this thought experiment very seriously.]

Date: 2011-08-06 07:54 pm (UTC)... It's hard, sometimes, to be the one who survived. My father was someone that was needed by a lot of people, but he's not here anymore even though I am. Until I came here, there wasn't anybody who needed me around.

Date: 2011-08-09 09:12 am (UTC)Maybe...maybe you could think of your life as a last gift from your dad. Something that he wanted you to enjoy and use however you want.
And if you're not happy with it...I don't think he'd be happy, either. He would've wanted you to keep on going. And to be strong. We promised to be strong for the people we know and love, remember?

Date: 2011-08-09 05:02 pm (UTC)I don't know what my father wanted me to do. I can't ask; he's dead, but I have no desire to stop or end this life. I'll find who killed him.. if I go back.
[video]
Date: 2011-08-09 05:04 pm (UTC)I'm enjoying it. I have fun.
[video] AUSTE AM LIAR 1/1
Date: 2011-08-12 11:44 am (UTC)[A small smile. Which kind of gets a little bigger.]
And I'd be cool with it too. We're friends, right?
[video] AUSTE HOW CAN YOU DO THIS
Date: 2011-08-12 05:24 pm (UTC)... And as long as I'm here, my father can't say otherwise. I promised my friends I'd enjoy myself.
[video] BECAUSE I CAN
Date: 2011-08-15 03:05 am (UTC)You'd better! So keep your head up.
...and if you're gonna go hunting killers down, you better be careful. And get the adults to help you out.

Date: 2011-08-17 01:01 am (UTC)Are you seriously gonna hunt down a murderer by yourself, kid? You got a death wish?
[She crosses her arms after that sudden finger-pointing.] Besides, I never said you couldn't take care of yourself.

Date: 2011-08-17 01:21 am (UTC)In my world, law actually exists.

Date: 2011-08-19 11:55 am (UTC)Y'know, if I were you and someone close to me was killed, I'd want to find who did it and make 'em pay too. I probably wouldn't even take my own advice.
[video]
Date: 2011-08-19 06:31 pm (UTC)I'm not looking for revenge. I'm going to find who killed my father because murder is wrong, and that person is a criminal. My father was a lawyer, and I'm the student of another--I'm just going to do what is right for me.
