The Missing Rose: Part 1

[girlpower101]

[Fu is surprised not to find the train station completely deserted— it was so cold this morning that she'd considered abandoning this trip completely and simply curling up under a blanket with a nice steaming bowl of udon. Still, it isn't like the place could be called busy. A few people meander about the platform while they wait for the train. Some make conversation with friends or family while others just devote all of their attention to their phones.

As for Fu, she stands at the edge of the platform waiting for her friends to show up. Clutching her briefcase tightly and casting uneasy glances between it and the station market make her look suspicious as anything. She seems to be struggling to come to a decision about something important.]

[ Regret! Immediate regret! Traveler's remorse! All of the above shoot through the young hero's mind. Between the redheaded girl's proximity food explosion and Fu's over the top distraction, it's enough for Karin to feel like she's in a circus...one that's burning down with mass panic ensuing. ]

...what in the...

[ She notices the little creature too and quickly catches on. This girl is definitely with Fu and maybe, just maybe she's some kind of Hero too? Regardless, it wouldn't be a good idea to let people see chipmunk creature. With that in mind, Karin jumps in front of the girl and her companion in the hopes of shielding them from view. ]

Don't just stand there. Call him back or something.

[ She's just going to assume you know what she's talking about Mairin. ]

[GUESS WHO FAILED TO TRACK THIS yowza, hi, guys, sorry for the hundred year delay]

[lavieenmarron]

A-ahh, right away!! [Mairin frowns and quickly recalls Chespie, but fortunately, only AFTER she regains her footing instead of crashlanding into either Fu or her (diminutive) friend.]

Thank you!

I forgot... Pokemon aren't common around here.

Did you think he was a fairy, Fu's friend?!

[Yes, just "Fu's friend" for now, give the girl an introduction!!]

It's okay! I hope you have it tracked now XD

[Fu has her arms spread wide as if that'll block everything happening behind her from sight. She throws a glance over her shoulder dropping her voice to a whisper.]

Are we all clear back there? I don't know how long I can keep them distracted.

[Not that it matters; no one is really paying attention anyway.]

*Wakes up after a hundred years* D:

[ Karin sighs loudly. These girls were truly two of a kind. Karin stares at Mairin with a rather blank expression. She's never heard of a Pokemon before, but clearly this girl knew about the fairies that the heroes possessed. ]

It was a lapse in judgement.

[ She means about assuming Chespie was a fairy and about coming on the trip. Karin turns to face Fu. ]

Just stop, Fu...
