saltwaterwounds | ♨ Mama's Thirteenth! ♨ Video/Action for Goldenrod

[When the camera turns on, there are a few things that should be noticed. The most obvious is Sisuca, talking to a shopkeeper in the Goldenrod Department Store. She seems to be giving uninterested answers, but Sisuca keeps chatting away. In the background, there's two new additions to her team: a Jynx, once belonging to Yumi Ozawa and later Kanji Tatsumi, and a Pawniard, once belonging to a certain Heiji. Both are putting products back onto the shelf; it seems like Sisuca knocked some things over.

The last thing that should be noticed? Sisuca is buying a large amount of salt. There are several boxes, at least ten.]

--oh, and then I got Whitney's badge today! Two badges in one week, isn't that great?

[The lady nods and keeps ringing her up.]

And then this morning, there were two new Pokémon in my box...Helga and Bishamon. They're so helpful. I'll be sure to take good care of them!

[She rings up another box of salt, and asks what it's for.]

Oh! I'm glad you asked! I've heard some people in Johto are misbehaving, so Mama's going to wash out all of their wounds with saltwater! Someone has to, right?

[The cashier nods again, seeming to be in agreement! That Team Rocket...!]

It's just a thing a mother has to do, you know? Oh, but I'm going to be traveling to Kanto, too...I'm very, very busy! [She looks down to say something to her Audino, then claps her hands together.] Oh, you were filming me, Rekareka? Hello, everyone! Sisuca here. Today, I beat Whitney, and I gave her some eyedrops as a present. She seems to cry a lot, so Hayate and I were worried about her health...she even used them, after only a little convincing! [Don't ask.] Tell everyone goodbye, Rekareka! ♥ Tee-hee! We've got to get going.

[And with a nod and a cry of "Dino~!" and a laugh that sounds almost like Sisuca's, the feed ends. But that's not all! Anyone in Goldenrod can find Sisuca riding a bike. It's been so long since she has, and it's really a dangerous thing. She could crash into you at any second, and her Pokémon are trying to keep her from crashing to hear death.]

[ooc; Badges are mod approved!]

Yeah, I know that! [He lives on the seashore, you know. Combined with the fact he's rather accident-prone... yep. Got first-hand experience there.]

... How do you plan to make that work? You'd have to catch him first!

I don't know! Maybe I'll just run into him somewhere. I don't think I can just go looking for someone like that.

... And then what? Ask him to show ya his wounds so you can shove salt in 'em? [He might be a little skeptical. Just a little.]

Of course not! It's a lot easier to use a bathtub.

... You're gonna break into his bathroom?!

Oh, of course not. Don't worry about that. I'd just drag him to the nearest inn.

You'd--

[Please forgive him as his brain. BREAKS A LITTLE at that. He needs a moment to get himself together.]

... You can't be serious.

What would you do with someone so dangerous to make sure he learns his lesson?

What kinda question is that? I'd du--

[--wait, hold on. PEOPLE DON'T DUEL HERE.]

... I'd... Uh...

...beat the crap outta him?

How cruel! Did your mama raise you to be that violent...?

--That's not it! Martha's got nothing to do with--

... Wait a sec, how the hell is washing people's wounds with saltwater NOT cruel?!

Tee-hee! ♥ I think only a mother could understand.

...

Even if you say so, I'd never do that to my kids.

Oh! I've never done it, either. They always listen after I say it.

Would you do it if they didn't?

That's never happened before. ♥

...

That's, uh. [SCARY.] ... Good?

Oh, but it would be so much better if he listened to me the first time...but I do love my little boy...

[...oh

that

hits all of his parental abandonment issues

so hard

When he responds, his smile is small, but genuine.]

... And I'm sure he loves you back.

Oh, I know he does! But he won't even call me mom! Isn't that just the worst? He's so cruel sometimes...but we're really close!

He won't--

[He finds that really odd, to be honest. If he had a mother, he'd call her that for sure...]

Why would he do that?

Oh, he's just doing it to tease his Mama! He'll say it someday!

[Crow chuckles a bit at that.]

Yeah, he probably will! ... Parents are really important to their kids, they just have trouble showing that sometimes.

[So he thinks.]

Oh, you understand so well! Your mother must be really proud of you!

[The statement is met with silence, which by itself in quite unusual for Crow, but the topic is... a little difficult for him. On one hand, yes, Martha would often say she's proud of him (though as for why exactly remains a mystery for the duelist), but as for his real mother, well...]

That-- [He trails off for a moment, looking away from the 'Gear.] ... I wouldn't know that.
