Um.
Is it just me, or is something strange going on? I feel... [ like I did before here. different. like a freak again. ] kind of funny, y'know?
There suddenly seem to be so many people, too...I wonder if--eep! [ Cue her Swablu trying to play with her by tapping her on the shoulder...except it only serves to startle her. She jumps, the 'Gear falling to the ground but still recording. As part of her instinctive reaction, one of her hands flies out in shock - and suddenly, the grass that hand was pointing to is on fire. ]
Oh, shoot, I didn't mean to--Water! [ And a controlled burst of water appears at her command to extinguish the flames.
Picking up the Gear again. ] Looks like magic's back, huh? [ Fake smile, trying to hide how uncomfortable this makes her feel, before shutting off the feed. ]

So I've been thinking......
[ insert rude joke of your choice here ]
You know, I've been here for....a while now, but I've never tried out a gym fight! I mean, at first I was just trying to adjust and follow Quisty, and then I got all settled in Goldenrod....I guess I didn't have the time! [ Small laugh. It's not really funny, anyway. ]
But I don't really have much of an excuse anymore! And I have to try, anyway. Even if the badges aren't guaranteed to get us back home, it's still worth a shot, right?
[ It's what they'd be doing if they were here--what they had been doing, in the past, while she'd been taking a vacation. And it was nice, for a while. But it was time she showed that she could handle herself like an adult, too. ]
So! I officially announce the start of my quest to defeat all the gym leaders in Johto! [ Fist pump. ] And if anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.
[ After this video feed, she can be found stocking up on things at the Department Store! Come join her~ ]

Jul. 3rd, 2011 02:57 pm Um. Hi again, everyone! I just have a quick question for all of you.
[ A quick question that she's been mentally debating for a while now. ]
So....how do you decide when it's time to use an evolutionary stone? I have two for two of my Pokemon, but I'm not sure when I should use them!
And I guess there probably isn't a 'wrong choice' or anything, but I'd like to hear some advice, y'know?
[ She gives the camera a quick grin, and then she turns off the feed with a click. ]

[ I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS CLOSE UP OF RINOA'S FACE.
...Okay, now we're back at a reasonable distance, but she's grinning. Pressing a finger to her lips to signal people to be quiet, though.
Whispered: ] Look! It's so pretty, but it looks pretty easily spooked.
[ Rinoa turns the camera around to show a Celebi floating around on the outskirts of town, twirling in the air and just generally acting carefree. ]
Do you think I could catch it?

Apr. 25th, 2011 09:10 pm[ Like everyone else, Rinoa got an egg for Easter! But she doesn't seem that concerned about it. In the first few moments of the feed, you can see it resting on her bed, tucked in with a few blankets.
Instead, have a different type of egg in your face. A painted one or....at least, it looks like it was meant to be painted. It's...kind of a train wreck, to be honest; it looks more like a five-year-old's failed art project than an Easter egg.
Not that Rinoa seems to notice. ]
Look at what I made~ [ Oh dear, she sounds so proud....okay, putting it away now. ]
I haven't painted anything since the train model, but I think it turned out okay!

Mar. 27th, 2011 12:01 pm[ Oh, look, it's a Rinoa! She's standing in her hotel room, a mostly-packed bag on the bed behind her. ]
Hello everyone~ [ Smile and wave! ]
The gang and I are getting ready to head out! We'll be going to Azalea, and from there through Union Cave to Goldenrod.
And oh! [ Shift shift shift~ okay, now there's a Butterfree and an Eevee on the screen. ] Zone evolved a little while ago...he's already a Butterfree! Cecil wasn't kidding when he said they leveled up fast. [ Laughs. ]
And this little guy here [ nudges the Eevee ] is Carbuncle! He hatched a week or two ago. He seems to enjoy getting into trouble...I don't think he and Zell get along very well.
[ And back to Rinoa now. ]
Anyway, I probably should finish up....I don't want to keep Quisty waiting. Talk to you later, everyone!

Feb. 10th, 2011 10:03 pm[ Rinoa, bright-eyed, is sitting in her hotel room. There's a Growlithe curled up on her lap, relaxed, and an egg in the background. ]
Guess what? [ She waits a second or two—presumably for guessing--before continuing. ]
I got a job! I've been working at the PokeCenter for a day or two now, helping out with the patients.
It's not bad, and I want to save up some money, just in case!
[ She smiles at the camera, and then looks over her shoulder casually at the egg. ]
I've also got a new member of my team on the way! I'm going to name him Watts, when he comes—
[ As if on cue, the egg starts shaking and cracking slightly. She gasps and picks up the 'Gear, spinning it around so that the hatching egg is in focus. And then— ]

Char!
Aww, look at you, little guy! I think Watts is the perfect name for you~
Char Charmander! [ ...If you can understand Pokemon? The newly-Christened Watts is trying to explain that she's a girl, kthx. Rinoa just thinks "he's" saying hi. ]

Jan. 22nd, 2011 10:47 pm[ Hey, Johto! It's Rinoa again...she's strolling through town, but her main focus is the camera. Have a smile. ]
My friends and I arrived in Violet a few days ago. Since then, I've been keeping busy by working on leveling up my Pokémon. I mean, they got some practice on the way here, but I've got to step up their training if I want them to be their best!
Oh! And before I forget, let me introduce you to the newest member of my team...!
[ After some shifting and a great view of the ground, she manages to hold the camera steady with one hand and lift up a Caterpie with the other. ]
His name is Zone~ after a good friend of mine back home. I caught him on the way here, but I didn't really get a chance to train him much until now. [ The next part is whispered, as if it's a secret: ] I think Angelo might be a little jealous of all the attention he's getting...
[ Said Growlithe, walking alongside the girl, gives an irritated bark—that's his trainer, thanks—in response to which the Caterpie curls up in fear in Rinoa's hold. ]
Oh, come on, you two—woah! [ Jiggle jiggle as she swerves suddenly, narrowly avoiding bumping into someone. The 'Gear falls out of her hands and hits the ground, turning off. ]

Jan. 9th, 2011 10:27 pm[ Hey, have a mildly irritated Rinoa pop on your screens, with a young Growlithe napping off in the background. Her hands are on her hips--yeah, that's right, she's gonna yell at you. ]
Can I just say something? If someone's talking to you, you don't ignore them! Especially if they're just trying to ask you a question...meanie! [ She sticks her tongue out. Yes, she has the maturity of a two year old; how did you guess?
But that seems to calm her down, at any rate, as she seems much more neutral after that outburst. ]
...Sorry about that. I meant for this post to say that Elizabeth and I made it to Cherrygrove the other day! We're waiting here for now.
[ Oh, and she also wanted to ask: ] By the way, how do you earn money here? I don't think what I have will last me forever...
[ private phone call to Quistis Trepe ]
...Hey, Quisty? [ A pause as she figures out how to word this. ]
Um...so I was talking to this guy who looked kind of like Squall, and he said to ask you about him. And then he wouldn't answer my questions...
What's up with him?

…Go on~ Go find your owner! Can you manage that? [ The Pokémon just gives her a confused whine, to which she responds by placing her hands on her hips. ]
What am I going to do with you….oh! [ She finally notices the discarded PokéGear and picks it up, looking at it closely—so that the image being projected only shows one eye and part of her nose—before realizing that it's a video-talky-device and holding it at a more reasonable distance. ]
Is this thing on? Hellooo? [ Short pause, before she gets too impatient to wait for a response. ] Can anyone tell me where this guy belongs…and how to get back to Balamb?
[ The feed continues for a few more minutes as she presses some buttons, before it cuts out. ]
