001 @ Video | Action for Route 31
[It's raining, it's pouring. This really put a dent in the Idol Caravan's traveling plans, but Ryo's making the most of it. Shit happens, after all. Even if it does make some things more... difficult. So the feed opens to the novice idol sitting in a tent, spreading some mayonnaise on a slice of bread. In the background are a Ralts and a Rattata happily muching on some diagonally cut sandwiches that seem to contain some whipped cream and Oran berries. It seems that the PokeGear has been set on the ground, so that Ryo's "cooking" duty can continue during the broadcast.
Ryo lets out a small sigh.]
I feel bad that I can't make a nicer meal for everyone... but I suppose there's no helping it with this kind of weather. Haruka-san and everyone, I'm sorry.
[After glancing back at the Pokemon stuffing their faces, Ryo turns to look at the camera again with a smile.]
The berry sandwiches I made seem to be a hit, though~ I'm glad.
Anyway, I'd like to ask about these Pokemon Gyms, since I'm thinking of challenging them once I'm strong enough. How should I prepare? And how do I know when I'm ready?
[Ryo glances to the side, mumbling in a barely audible and lower pitched voice---]
Then again, I really wonder if this is the answer to my---
[Suddenly, that train of thought is interrupted when the Ralts and Rattata begin to fight over the last sandwich. Ryo quickly drops the unprepared sandwich in hand and picks up the PokeGear to turn it off, since trying to diffuse this situation is probably not something people should see.]
RITSU, NEZU, NO----!
[The camera's view rapidly flies from one crazy angle to another, with a loud "GYAOOOOOOOON!" ringing through the tent before the feed shuts off.]

action;
And now, Makoto has decided to do battle with Ryo's Pokemon over lunch that isn't actually supposed to be theirs. Okay, he'll try calming them all down again---]
Makoto-san, wait! That's---
action;
she does, and glances in her direction, before nearly having a loose sandwich snatched back away from her by one of the pokemon.
which of course gets her attention squarely right back where it had been to begin with. sorry ryo... ]
action; 1/2
A-Ah! Listen... Please... I... Um... Th-That is...!
action;
ALL OF YOU SETTLE THE HELL DOWN AND LISTEN TO ME, GOD DAMMIT!
action;
but they both suddenly stop mid struggle and turn to ryo wide eyed. ]
Oh... aha... sorry... We got kinda carried away.
[ the pokemon seem to agree. ]
action;
[Ah, oh... He didn't mean to get so angry, but at least they've stopped fighting. Ryo decides to stay firm! Even if Makoto is his senpai, this behavior is unacceptable!]
But yes, you did get quite carried away. Makoto-san, fighting can make things worse instead of fixing it. On top of that, those sandwiches were for the Pokemon. Humans can't eat the berries, after all.
[He then turns his attention to the Ralts and Rattata.]
And you two... We're a team, so we shouldn't fight. If you could have just waited, I could make more... Or you two could have just shared. This could have all been avoided.
[Ryo folds his arms across his padded chest, giving each and every one of them a stern look before saying:]
Really, fighting inside a tent can be dangerous, especially when it's raining so much outside. All of you, please think of your actions before doing them next time!
[His Pokemon seem to get it... They glance down rather guiltily as if trying to say "Sorry..."]
action;
[ now that she looks at the sandwiches, that's true, huh? she's not sure why she reacted that quickly...
probably because she was hungry.]Sorry! [ she claps her hands together and bows her head as well, falling in line with the two pokemon. they all seem strangely in synch. ]
I don't know what came over me... I just heard your yell and then...!
action;
It's fine. As long as you understand.
[He bends down to pick up the surprisingly unscathed berry sandwich, and, with a small pull on both ends, tears it in half. He offers the halves to the Pokémon.] Here. This is how to solve things without fighting, okay?
[They seem pretty satisfied, at least. Now, for Makoto... Ryo reaches for his bag and rummages around in it. He pulls out a clean towel and drops it onto her lowered head. And then... RUBRUBRURBRUBRUBRUB. Why yes, Ryo is indeed being a mom and drying Makoto's hair for her.]
As for you, you should dry yourself off first, or you'll catch a cold!
action;
[ she definitely hadn't seen that coming. she seems like she wants to protest, but instead just sits there silently letting ryo dry her hair. she kinda feels like a little kid getting lectured, but in this case maybe she deserve it. even if ryo is her kouhai... ]
Th, that's enough, right? [ she finally asks, once she runs a hand through her hair and is satisfied it's dry again. but more important... ] Th, thanks, though... I mean, I could have done it myself! But... thanks.
[ ah, ryo is so perfect and feminine. if only makoto could one day be more like her....... ]
action;
[Satisfied, Ryo pulls the towel off her head... Only to nearly faint when Makoto inadvertently does the traditional "pretty boy running hand through hair" charming pose. GODDAMN HE NEEDS TO STOP DOING THAT. Recovering, recovering. Okay.
Man, he wishes that he could be as cool and charming as Makoto---Oh wait. He quickly gets back to blushing, though this time out of embarrassment. ]
A-Ah... I'm sorry about that! I wasn't thinking... It's just, I always have to take care of Ai-chan and Eri-chan back in my company, so it's kind of instinct now...
[And he'll just. Hand her the towel.]
A-Anyway... You should do something about your wet clothes too. I'll go finish making lunch in the meantime.
action;
[ sort of, at least in theory. there isn't really anyone makoto needs to look out for like that, but she appreciates the sentiment. it kind of feels good being pampered a bit, even if she'd never admit that.
but when ryo hands her the towel, she gladly accepts it. ]
Oh, good idea! I'll get changed. [ it's a good thing she has that change of clothes she got when she first arrived here... she takes off her backpack and reaches in for it, pulling it out....
before starting to change. i mean, why not? they're both girls here... ]
action;
MUST NOT LOOK. HE IS A GENTLEMAN.]
action;
All done!
...what are you looking at? [ because ryo seems to be staring at a tent wall... ]
action;
Time for an evasive maneuver. Ryo turns, holding a plate piled with sandwiches... <a href="http://www.edita.jp/kyaraben/image/kyaraben9004/10064785714.jpg>shaped like bears</a>. It kind of sucks having to make them look cute, but he has a cover to keep! Ryo gives the sparkliest housewife smile he could muster.]</small> A... All done~!♥
action;
she eventually takes the plunge and takes a bite. it's okay ryo, your mighty efforts in making them look cute were not for naught. ]
Ah, it's really good! [ she doesn't want to take another bite, but at the same time she does... what a conflicted feeling..... ]
