8th Piece // Goldenrod City // Video (Action)

[The screen shows a very steady, clear feed of Yuugi. He's not saying anything for a moment, having trouble breaking out of the lethargic silence he's stuck in. But in the meantime, please note how he's sitting in a chair, outside, with a brick wall to his back. The why should become clear as he finally starts explaining himself.]

Well, the Mareep eggs Bakuto pushed me to keep hatched early yesterday, so I assume most of the others I sold have, too. I hope all of them are doing okay. So I thought I'd ask about it.

[He pauses, trying to form what else he wants to say. But it falls apart half-formed as something jolts him up in his seat. The view swerves, showing Bakuto flopped on her back in the grass, apparently sunbathing. The culprits of Yuugi's shock though, would be a pair of pint-sized sheep zooming under his feet. The second calls some angry "maaa"s at the one in the lead, making a B-line for "Mama". A third is right on their heels and a fourth trudges along in their trail, until a hand gingerly scoops it off the ground. A second later Yuugi is back in view, the last Mareep lamb sprawled over his legs.

But even with a fuzzball on his lap, Yuugi's not looking happy.]

Ah, sorry... I just, also wondered if anyone had the latest news on Danny Fenton. Is he recovering okay? Or... has someone else been hit by the delivery box trick? I know the attack on the game corner didn't work, but I still want to hear no one else is gon-

[Ah. Please excuse him. He just caught himself and shut off the feed before he could stumble again. Suddenly just focusing on the new babies, seems so much better than broadcasting...]

I'd like that, if you'll have me along.

Doesn't quite fit in with wanting to get a job, but...I'll make it work.

Hey, you. Don't flap. Float.

[That was to Ditto. Who thinks.

And thinks.

And thinks.

Again.]

Well, if we go out more, you could ask the different places if they're looking for help.

[And morphing it into helping Malik out? That would encourage him to actually get up and go more often.

But, um. Yuugi stops his slow retry of a walk to look back at the Ditto, uncertain about hurrying him. Senzai has no qualms about it, though. He'll be trying to get it off the ground again, and start pushing it as he floats himself.

A first timer needs someone to help steer, right??]

That's a good idea! And keep an eye open for "help wanted" signs.

Let's see what we can find.

[He wonders if there's anything he can request through the Team that looks legit....

Ditto, meanwhile, has sorted itself out! And with a brave little smile--

Is floating! Is flying! It bobs up above Senzai and giggles. Finally!]

[kingofgamecorner]

Sure! If there's any city we can find a job you might like, it's got to be Goldenrod.

[And as Yuugi gives a dose of confidence? Senzai's moving to meet the Ditto and stay under him.

Like a living net.

Because no more face splats!]

[Ditto can flyyyy~ Ditto can fly! Malik gives it a satisfied grin - one that might even pass for pride - and then smiles at Yuugi, too.]

Then let's get looking.
