4 ✶ video/action

[Hello network! Today we have a pretty excited looking Molly who's keeping the camera turned around on herself as she's walking through a busy Goldenrod street. Her Natu is perched on her shoulder, on occasion chirping quietly to herself.]

This city is really big! I mean, I knew it'd be big, and I know it's not as big as New York, but it's really big compared to Violet.

Anyway, I bought a map, and I saved up some money, so ... does anybody know any good places that I should go to? Like your favorite spots or something? Everybody has those.

Okay, bye!

[She waves at the feed before she turns it off.]

[Action: she is anywhere and everywhere throughout this and the following days, having fun in following that tourist map of hers to well known stores and coffee shops and craft stores and town squares and yes she wants to see everything. Feel free to run into her anywhere.]

Audio, private to Jimmy: Hi Jimmy, I'm in Goldenrod now! If you still want to fly here.

Audio, private to Rin: I'm here now! Where are you? Can I come see you if you're not busy?

Molly!

[HE IS SO RELIEVED... He was about to message her again. It's been a while since they last spoke and - not that he was overly concerned or anything...]

Right now? I'm at grocers. Gotta stock up on food, y'know? I can wait for you here, if y'want. Then we can head back to my place for a meal!

_{[Ah that sounds super great. The excitement can probably be clearly heard in her voice.]}

Yeah! That sounds great. Which store is it? I'll come find you.

[The excitement is contagious! Rin's moving on over to the drinks aisle. He needed to stock up on soda and juice! He quickly tells her the name of the grocery store he's in, including the aisle number, just in case.]

Better come quick! Otherwise I'm making you drink puréed ginger~!

Jerk!

_{[She laughs though, good naturedly, and hangs up as she tries to locate the store on her map. It takes her a few tries but she manages to get there not too long after, and she walks around looking for him for a minute or two until she spots him.]

[And then she sprints right up to him, of course.]}

Rin! Hi!

[Rin turns at the sound of her voice and waves his arms in greeting. As soon as she is close enough, he ruffles her hair and pulls her into a quick one-armed hug.]

Hey! You're even shorter in person, Molly!

_{[She responds to the hug with a lot of enthusiasm, hugging him before she leans back and wrinkles her nose as she smoothes her hair down. You're such a brat Rin omg.]}

I'm eleven! I'm supposed to be short!

[This is the Rin version of love and affection! Accept it! Soon her hair will be as messy as his.]

I wasn't as tiny as you when I was eleven! I was way taller!

_{[FINE she can accept it because she's also really excited to see him.]}

Yeah right! You're just saying that! _{[She's laughing, though.]} I know people who are taller than you, anyway.

_{[SO LIKE don't get any ideas Rin come on it's not like you're the Tall Overlord™ or something]}

[GOOD BECAUSE HERE COMES ANOTHER NOOGIE] Yeah? You gotta be talkin' about my brother. He's a real giant!

[But he is taller than Molly and that's really the important thing here. It's all in good jest!] C'mon, since you're here why don't you give me a hand with gettin' ingredients for lunch?

Nuh uh! I know a cop and he's over six feet tall.

_{[She laughs, though, and agrees easily and with enthusiasm.]} Yeah! What're you gonna make?

Seriously? Ha! My brother is just about the same height! He'll be way taller than your cop buddy!

[He is forever proud of his little brother.] I was thinking curry, but maybe you'd like a cool dessert to go with it!

_{[She's just gonna let that be for now, but know that her COP BUDDY IS WAY BETTER FOREVER, okay Rin.]

[She practically bounces on her heels though, all eager.]}

Yeah, sure! What do you need? I can find it for you!

We're gonna need carrots, potatoes, onions, and flour.

[He lowers the basket so she can see what he's gathered so far. It's not much, mostly spices and meat.]

I'm thinking we can't go wrong with beef curry, but if you want chicken, we can get that instead! It wont need as much time either.

Beef sounds good!

_{[She doesn't mind either way, but since he already got the beef, why hassle?]}

I can get the carrots and onions if you want. I know where they are.

[Because Rin is willing to bend over backwards for this kid when it comes to food that's why hassling has its benefits.]

'Kay. I'll be in the ice cream aisle. Better get that stuff quick, or else you won't be able to pick the flavor either!

_{[Yes but she can save the hassling for other things. You just wait Rin, she'll work her charms when you least expect it.]}

I'll be there!

_{[She laughs and nudges him before she skips off - and it really kind of is a skip, too, cause she's happy and excited about life right now. And she does come back sooner rather than later, skidding to a stop with a grin and unceremoniously dropping a bag of carrots and two onions (guesstimations on her part) into his cart.]}

See, I told you! Did you pick yet? Can I pick?

[... That precious happiness must be protected at all costs. That doesn't mean that RIn's going to slowly walk to the ice cream aisle. Oh no. He runs there at nearly full speed - nearly knocks over an old lady (APOLOGIZES PROFUSELY) and makes it just in time to have Molly meet him and drop her load of veggies onto him.]

You're better than I thought! Okay, Molly, pick your prize. We got ... strawberry, strawberries and cream, cookies and cream... uhm, peanut butter?

[- and a whole lot of other awesome sounding flavors! Can he read most of them? Nope. ...He stumbles a lot. But he ain't even fazed. Her smiling face keeps him smiling.]

Hmm ... cookies and cream!

_{[That's a sparkling smile she sends Rin's way, leaning over the display of frozen goods, arms crossed on the cold glass surface before she slides it open and picks out the aforementioned flavour - not bothered in the least by his apparent reading difficulties, just enjoying his company.]}

Can we get some chocolate sauce too?

[Rin nods, more than pleased with her impeccable taste when it came to ice cream. He is already reaching for the chocolate sauce when he stops midway. He turns to her with a wicked little grin.]

Sure... but only if we get whipped cream to top it all off!

Yes!

_{[She hugs him again and then sprints back to where she knows the whipped cream is - the kinds in cans, cause they're more fun - and then returns triumphant, holding it up.]}

This one's good, right?

[Would sprinkles be good too? He's not too sure. The colors were nice... But once she's back, thoughts of colorful candy bits are pushed out of his mind. Canned whipped cream is the best!]

It's perfect! Wanna race to the cashier?

[RIN. FUJIMOTO TAUGHT YOU BETTER THAN THAT. STOP. YOU'RE GOING TO TURN MOLLY INTO A DELINQUENT.]

_{[DO IT RIN. MOLLY WON'T MIND.]}

Yeah! Okay ... one two three!

_{[She makes sure he's with her before she sprints off, but she definitely does - she was always taught not to run in crowds cause it's impolite and you can bump into people but she doesn't have parental supervision at the moment so it's far from her mind when she's just having fun.]

[Besides, she's small enough to weave through people easily enough. And there aren't a whole lot of shoppers anyway, so they probably won't get into trouble.]}

[And he's sprinting right after her! Since he's the one with the cart, he's being very careful not to barrel over unsuspecting shoppers accidentally. The limited amount of people makes it a lot easier.

The register is in sight...! So close -- oh wait, lookit the sprinkles! Rin brakes for a moment, grabs the most colorful container, and starts up running again. Molly's had to have taken the lead by now.]

_{[She did! But when she notices she's alone in the race for a few moments, she turns around to check where he is and call a "come on, Rin!!" with a grin before she sets off again, which really kinda does set them equal once more. She's laughing anyway, though, when she skids to a halt and takes a deep breath next to the register.]}

[This is what being a kid is all about - having fun and not worrying about bothering people with unbridled energy. Rin's grinning from ear to ear as he comes to a stop as well. The cashier looks startled but he's probably seen lots of things by now. Before he unloads the cart, he holds up the sprinkles for Molly to see and shakes the little canister for extra effect.]

Look what I found on the race track!
