[The message to Byrne Faraday starts recording before Miles is even talking to the Gear, so there is soft off-screen conversation while the camera points to the light gray sky.]
-- you remember her, don't you? He's her father..--
Woopah!
That's right... you said you wanted to meet him.
[The camera shifts as Miles moves, holding the Gear in his hand, and the sky on the screen is soon replaced by the boy and a grinning Wooper, who is bouncing on his lap.]
Mr. Faraday! There's someone I want you to meet.
[[ooc note: sentimentality hit the shota, and as negotiated between myself and Byrne-mun, Kay's Wooper's daughter... will be joining up with Flapper's trainer's father, so that they can have some sort of double-family-reunion thing, so Tal the Wooper will belong to papa Faraday after Miles reaches Azalea and Byrne hits Violet. This was not a trade, by the way. ]]
[video]
Who is it?
[video]
This is Tal, Mr. Faraday.
[And the wooper makes a derp face.]
[video]
Hello, Tal!
[video]
[The wooper grins at Byrne because - hey! You DO look like the girl who's with her momma all the time! :DDD ]
Woopahhhhh!
[video]
[Byrne is also grinning because asdfghjkl; SHE'S SO FRICKEN' CUTE.
The sounds Tal makes attract a certain Little Thief, who climbs onto Byrne's shoulder and peers at the PokeGear curiously.]
Oh--aha, this is Little Thief, Tal. Say hi!
[Little Thief just stares. Blinks. Cocks head to the side and stares some more.]
[video]
[Miles allows Tal to settle back down on his lap, where the Wooper now sits, imitating Little Thief's head-tilt.]
See Tal - this is Kay's father. [And Tal just gives a derpy grin at that. :D ]
[video]
Tal knows Kay?
[video]
Tal's mother is Kay's Wooper, Flapper.
[video]
Silly paranoid father, humans can't make babies with Pokemon anyway! .......or so he hopes.]
Ah, I see. How cute. [He's never going to get over how adorable that Wooper is.] How'd she end up in your care?
[video]
The person I was traveling with, then, was Tal's father's trainer. He and Kay were looking for people to take care of the baby Woopers, and if I stayed with Phoenix, Tal would've been able to be with her father.
So I took her in. [And apparently Miles is no longer traveling with Phoenix. The Wooper is still derpfacing at Byrne.]
[video]
How kind of you to take care of her for them. Tal seems to really like you, too. [Byrne can't help waving at Tal. Just. Too. Cute.]
[video]
[Unfortunately for Byrne, his observation is proven wrong when Tal linefaises at his statement. She likes Miles, sure, but...] She misses her parents.
[video]
Oh... [Pause.] The poor thing.
[video]
I-- [beat] Do you like her, Mr. Faraday? [Can you see where he's trying to go now, Byrne?]
[video]
[Byrne's eyes widen a little. Oh, he sees where Miles is going with this, alright.] Miles, she's cute, but she's yours.
Re: [video]
I know that. [He's holding onto her. He is very fond of Tal, after all.] But she's always lonely.
[video]
I do declare it is a LADDER my good sir]I'm sure she loves being with you, Miles. [Face it kid, this guy's gonna need a good hard sentimental reason or else he's going to say no. ATTACK HIS WEAK PARENTAL SIDE WITH ALL YOU HAVE.]
[video]
G-Gregory said it was a stepladder]I like staying with my friends, too, but if my father were here, I'd go to him the first chance I had. [He's putting on a strong face because... he's not going to let himself look sad talking to Kay's father. Because this was Kay's father and not Miles', and it wasn't his place to-- ]
No child should be separated from their parents. If I can let her be with her mother, or her father, I would. I understand how lonely it is too much not to do that.
[video]
You can't judge these things based on narrow-minded cultural assumptions Gregory!!]...
[ShotaMiles used SENTIMENTAL REASONING! It's super effective!]
There must be some way you can take her to her parents, then...
[video]
ACTUALLY GREGORY WON THIS ARGUMENT.]Kay has her mother.
[NUDGE NUDGE, BYRNE, NUDGE NUDGE.][video] 1/2
BFAAAH wait was it with von Karma? 8|a]... [BRB THINKING ABOUT THIS]
[video] 2/2
[video]
It was with YOUR BEST FRIEND, BYRNE. (badd)]..I'll be in Azalea in a few days, but I'll be able to send her to you through the Pokémon Centers once we get there.
[DO YOU SEE THIS LOOK OF RELIEF AND SOMEWHAT HAPPY ON HIS FACE]
[video]
WOAH WAT SRSLY??? OMFG IF YOU HAVE A SCRIPT OF THIS I MUST SEE IT. GREG AND BADD ARGUING OVER LADDERS/STEP LADDERS = FANGIRL FANTASIES BEING REALIZED. well okay it'd really be realized if it was Byrne instead of Greg BUT GREG IS A CLOSE SECOND]You can send her through a Pokemon Center? How in the world does that work?
[Obviously Byrne has been leaping before thinking this entire journey because GETTING TO VIOLET MATTERS MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE so he is still a derp on a lot of these concepts, unfortunately...]
[video]
"It's just a ladder...why are you so interested.." "Its precise name is a stepladder, Detective." "...I see no difference." "We mustn't judge based on close-minded assumptions." Shiragaki: "THAT'S MR. GREGORY FOR YOU. I FEEL LIKE I LEARNED SOMETHING!"]You can also store Pokémon in these - [he holds up a Pokéball] - or.. in computers. [He doesn't sound very happy about that.] I'm not sure how, exactly, but it works.
[video]
So basically, you take the Pokemon in its ball, upload it to a computer and then send it to me almost like an email, then? (The technology of this place sure is surreal.)
[video]
You could put it that way.. I'm not too good with e-mail, though. [Canon: neither Edgeworths are good with technology.
[video]
I see. Well if it's that easy and it's safe, then let's do that, then.
[video] SPOILERS IN WHITE
!!! [He's grinning - the first REAL grin he's shown to Byrne so far.] Yes, sir!
[video] \o/!!!!!
[Byrne is grinning again too! And now he looks at Tal again, and says to her--] How about it, Tal? Are you ready to see your mother again?
[video]
[and Tal grins, bouncing, and even though Miles does look a bit sad about it, he's obviously happy about this, too.] Woopah! Woop!
[video]
[video]
Tal would not mind at all but prepare for her sitting in your scarf like Kay's Flapper did to Kay.]
[video]
dddgh STOP SHOWING BYRNE CUTE POKEMON he's going to want them all. And omg, a Wooper in his scarf, that is the most adorable thing I've ever heard.]
[video]
fff OH BYRNE YOU SWEETIE. Wooper in scarf is definitely the cutest.]
[video]
She will never leave his scarf EVER *A*]
[video]
And Tal is just bouncing up and down, derphappily, grinning. :DDDDD ]
[video]
Tal, Little Thief is so unimpressed with your cuteness right now. :| But don't worry because Daddy Faraday will take extra extra good care of you~. He may think he's just going to reunite you with your mom right now, but after a day or two he's going to get so attached, JUST WATCH.]
[video]
Tal does not wish to impress, dear Little Thief. She's just going to grin derpily because OMG MOMMAMOMMAMOMMA :DDDDD and daddy's in Violet, too! ]
[video]
'Cuz Violet's WHERE IT'S AT. Don't worry Tal IT WILL ONLY BE A DAY WE HOPE B] ]
[video]
WELL BYRNE IDEK BUT IT MIGHT BE THREE OR FOUR where are you anyway]
[video]
He's uhhhh he left the morning of the 17th so he should be traveling on Route 31 ATM! 8DD; /has no idea how to gauge these things properly]
[video]
Travel times and distances can be found in the MAPS section, but if he left on the 17th, at the earliest he'll reach Violet by the 23rd! :Db ]
[video]
...............WOW I AM A TOTAL DERPFACE okay I didn't know there was a section for that XDDD;; UM WILL BE KEEPING THIS IN MIND YES]
[ooc]
