ladywithnovoice | Function (1) - Text/Action for Route 29

[Eventually, after punching Royce and a couple one sided conversations and getting the hang of battling before anything else, Red finally discovers her own 'Gear has a text function. She actually types a lot... It's just that none of it really goes through, every line deleted. There's so much to say, she doesn't even know where to start.]

[Well... Royce is on information gathering duty, as much as he hates talking with people, so she finally decides to go with something more mundane.]

I don't know who voted for all the rain, but I don't suppose anyone wants to let a lady borrow an umbrella? [A pause before she adds-] Or a pack of cigarettes.

[And because she can't help herself...]

As for these Pokemon, are there any kind that can sing? Or any more dogs. I wouldn't mind another if I could figure out where to find one.

[For anyone in New Bark or on the route itself, they'll be able to see Red along it along with an Electrike that's constantly chasing Pokemon out of the tall grass. They're both actually rather quiet, but she's quick to look up when she realizes there's someone else nearby. Well... Someone besides Royce, who's nearby as wel and who she's also keeping an eye on.]

Yeah but sometimes because they're our friends it's okay.

I think you're nice too. Maybe tonight after we're done traveling, I can hum for you. It's not singing but it's still nice sometimes.

YES
THAT IS HOW
EVE FEELS

OH !
EVE THINKS
SHE WOULD LIKE THAT VERY MUCH !
CAN EVE
INVITE DADDY TO LISTEN
TOO ?

Of course. The more the merrier, right?

RAH RAH !
EVE CAN NOT WAIT !

EVE WILL SEE IF
DADDY
CAN COME LISTEN
AND MEET HER NEW FRIEND

[Someone just remembered that internet safety is a thing.]

EVE THINKS
HE WILL LIKE YOU
AND HEARING SOMEONE ELSE
HUM

Let me know what your daddy thinks, ok? I wouldn't want to get on his bad side.

DADDY'S BAD SIDE
IS HIS LEFT
SO
STAY TO THE RIGHT !

[And after that warning, Eve will be zipping around to try and get Hiccup's attention. It might be a bit of a wait, but Red will eventually get a differently-styled text from the same number as that little girl.

...He just has to stop erroring out every time he sees himself referred to as Eve's father.]

Hello, this is Hiccup. Listening to you would be nice, I think, if you really don't mind.

It doesn't hurt you, does it?

[That makes her shoulders shake a little in silent laughter before she goes to waiting. Good thing she has company. Seeing the concern in those words is nice.]

No. It's fine. There's no pain. It just

stops after a point.

Alright. That's good.

I mean, as good as that situation can be I guess.

[Hiccup, just stop talking.]

[Hiccup no]

It could always be worse

[But that one sentence comes after another minute of writing and deleting what she wants to say.]

So still interested in that song?

[It's probably best to move on from that topic.]

I am, y

YES !
YES YES YES
VERY MUCH SO

Alright.

[A moment passes before the audio clicks on. In a few seconds, some humming starts to come through.]

[Hiccup sits back to listen, and even Eve calms her excitable sparking for the duration of the song. When it ends, though, the peace is broken as the two scramble to get to the 'gear first. Against all odds, it's Hiccup that wins -- and his text takes damage for it.]

tghat wasf beautiful. If you ask me, that's more than enough for a duet, if you really wanted to try with a pokemon. Can't think of anyone that would argue, either.

Thanks.

There are supposed to be lyrics, but that's a bit outside my reach now. it's good to know I still got it.

OOH !
WHAT ARE
THE LYRICS ?
EVE THINKS
SHE WANTS TO KNOW !

But you don't have to tell her if you don't want.

It's fine. Songs are meant to be shared. Just give me a moment.

[It's a bit to type out, after all.]

Seconds march into the past
Moments pass and just like that
They're gone

The river always finds the sea
So helplessly like you find me
We are paper boats floating on a stream
And it would seem we'll never be apart

I will always find you
Like it's written in the stars
You can run, but you can't hide, try

Like the moon that makes the tides
That silent guide is calling from inside
Pull me here and push me there
It's everywhere, hanging in the air

We are magnets pulling from different poles
With no control, we'll never be apart

I will always find you
Like it's written in the stars
You can run, but you can't hide, try

I will always, always find you
I will always
I will always, always find you
I will always

I will always find you
Like it's written in the stars
We can run, but we can't hide, try

I will always find you
Like it's written in the stars
We can run, but we can't hide, try

I will always, always find you
I will always

It's nice.

[Both the words themselves and the feeling they'd go with in real life -- he can think of a few people he feels that way about, and his turning to think about them is why his text is so brief.]

BUT
EVE IS
CONFUSED
HOW
CAN A PAPER BOAT
FLOAT ?
CAN YOU WRITE
ON A STAR ?

You use the stars to spell out things- like constellations.

You've never made a paper boat before?

OH !
EVE THINKS
SHE UNDERSTANDS

EVE HAS NEVER
MADE ONE
EVE IS NOT
ALLOWED BY WATER !
BOATS ARE FOR WATER
ALSO
DADDY
DOES NOT LIKE IT
WHEN
HIS PAPERS GET WET
AND EVE
CAN NOT FOLD

THAT IS
A LOT OF REASONS !

Maybe if we meet up, I can make a paper boat for you... Using papers that aren't your daddy's.

OH !
YES YES YES !
EVE THINKS
SHE WOULD LIKE THAT

WHERE IS
RED
THESE DAYS ?

[what do you mean that makes no sense when you've just met]

I just got here. I'm still on that road by that little town... New Bark.

OH !
DADDY WAS
JUST THERE
TWO WEEKS AGO !

THEN HE
CAME BACK
AND GOT ME AGAIN

EVE THINKS
SHE HAS NEVER BEEN
TO NEW BARK TOWN
OR
NEW BERK TOWN
HEE HEE

Where are you now then?

WE
WENT TO
CIANWOOD CITY
FOR THE BOOM !
BANG !
KAPOW !
CRAAAASH !

IT WAS LOUD AND PRETTY
LIKE LIGHTNING
HEE HEE
