6 ✶ video/action ✶ fourth wall

... did everybody get their powers back?

[A video that's short and sweet and shows cautious excitement, but also a trace of fear.]

It's not another dream, right?

[Action anywhere: Guess who REALLY LIKES HAVING HER POWER BACK? It's Molly. She's gonna be leaning back against a tree with her knees drawn up and her Johto and Kanto map books against her legs, flipping through and marking stuff that follows some kind of logic that's not immediately apparent.]

[That is, when she's not just looking around somewhat anxiously - she's confident she'll find her way back since she can see people again, but she still doesn't like the shifting world all that much. It's unpredictable. She could end up anywhere, and she does; the shifting routes can lead you pretty stray even when you're just trying to get back to Goldenrod.]

_{[As upset as Molly's getting, this has a lot more to do with her concern and confusion about Naminé than anything for herself. She can't really believe what Naminé's telling her, honestly - it doesn't make sense to her, and that overshadows the real fear and implication of what Naminé's life or state of being means.]}

Well ... when did you get it?

Cause you said you have feelings in the heart, right? But you're sad. So you still have one. So if you were sad or happy at home then it can't be true that you don't have a heart.

[ Honestly, she knows what she is shouldn't matter. Lightning had told her as much during the dream event. It had been somewhat easy for her to believe that when Naminé had her heart set firmly in her chest. But now, when that's gone and she feels so much different? It's hard to remember that, and even harder to believe. ]

My heart? ... When I arrived here.

[ Pause. ]

I've been told that I'm... special, which is why I can feel. [ Her brow furrows. She doesn't like to remember her time in Castle Oblivion, because it's... it makes a lump in her throat, makes it hard to breathe. But Marluxia and Larxene and Axel, they had felt something. But those emotions had been born from memories, or so she had heard. Naminé has no memories of the person she'd been before--Kairi--so... ]

... Mm. You... have a point. I did feel... sad, and happy, back there-- [ She's hesitant to call it home, because Johto is the first home she's every really had. ] --mm. Thank you, Molly.

[ Thank you, for your kindness. For your concern. It'll still be a long time for her to truly believe, because the thoughts and words that say otherwise have been cemented so firmly in her mind that it's difficult to believe.

But it's getting easier. ]

_{[Oh good. That helps, that she seems to have gotten Naminé over on her side at least on something, and she gives her a small, unsure but sincere smile.]}

It's okay.

Maybe that you're special means you don't need a heart to be normal, anyway.

[ Naminé's smile is quiet, too. She gives the female Meowstic that's wandered over a little pat, and said Meowstic looks right into the camera at Molly. ]

Oh-- Ellie says thank you. For cheering me up. [ A tiny blush, and Naminé hugs Ellie close. ]

... Maybe so. I've... never heard that before.

Now you have!

_{[Energy picking back up, Molly gives Ellie a little wave.]}

Hi Ellie. _{[and to Naminé,]} She's really cute.

I'll keep it in mind, Molly.

[ Ellie perks up, letting out a quiet mewl. ]

She is. She's the first Pokémon I ever caught. Would you like to meet her brother?

Yeah!

Did you catch them together?

[ And just like that, Hope comes over, ears twitching slightly. ]

I caught Ellie, but Lightning caught Hope. She gave him to me when she found out he missed his sister.

Aw!

_{[You can't help but smile about a story like that.]}

I wonder if any of my pokémon have siblings.

[ There's a light blush there, because Naminé's still surprised she made that big of an impact on Lightning for her to give her Hope. ]

I wonder that, too... They must, mustn't they?

Well, I don't have any siblings, so I don't think they have to have them. But they must have parents. I wonder if they ever miss them or anything.

I wonder that, too... Mm. I agree, they must have parents--where do they come from, if not from parents?

From eggs!

_{[There's laughter in her voice as she exclaims that.]}

It's so weird how they all lay eggs. It's like they're all that weird animal that does it even though it's not a bird or a lizard. Um, the platypus.
