genessia | Sonico Searching [video and action]

[video]
*For the first time in a long time, Sonico finally appears on screen. The bruising on her cheeks has mostly gone, and the cut on the lip is now only a small red line. She bows deeply on the screen and appears very serious in her approach*

I would like to say thank you, very much, deeply, from the bottom of my heart, towards those of you who cared for me and supported me while I was unwell. I am on the mend, and I appreciate all of your good thoughts.

I may still not be able to return to my usual work for some time...thanks to my injuries...but I would like to extend an open invitation for those who would like singing lessons. Please be in touch.

Finally, Sonico feels able to leave her apartment. She is dressed differently from usual, however, in a long sleeved cardigan and a skirt that reaches down to her ankles - the best way to hide all her scars. She appears to be slinking through the parks and wooded areas of town, apparently on a Pokemon hunt, her own in tow.

*The voice broadcasting is a shaky and timid whisper, clearly a girl in distress*

Is anyone...awake? I could use someone to talk to...

[Zigzagoon had wanted to go outside and wouldn't stop trying to crawl all over Celia until she gave in and let it out with specific instructions for it to stay near her. It appears to be following these instructions without any problem or protests right now, probably because she promised to play with it later if it behaved.

Soon enough, as a part of this particular outing, Sonico finds Zigzagoon (or rather, it finds her), but it's also almost immediately obvious that it isn't wild, as Celia is following it from not very far away.

It stares up at Sonico and barks. Hi!]

*Sonico notices the little pokemon approach and she stops, looking down at the creature with a smile. Meanwhile, her Litten realises that Sonico isn't paying attention to him anymore, so it scuttles on over and tries to bark back at the other creature*

Hello, little fuzzy guy.

*Sonico kneels slowly and extends a hand out to the stranger's pokemon*

[ He hasn't responded to her public messages, shying away from someone who needs comfort when he has little to give. But that desperate message is one he can't ignore. ]

Sonico? This is Cassian. I'm awake.

Cassian...

*Sonico doesn't know him very well, but she certainly appreciates hearing someone respond to her*

Are you usually awake at this time?

No, normally not.

[There's a moment of silence, some rustling.]

If you want to talk about your nightmare I'll listen. Or you could tell me if you got any Pokemon.

Edited 2017-04-02 22:14 (UTC)

Yeah. Me too.

[ His voice is also a bit shaky, but at least it's working.]

You can't sleep either, hmm?

*Sonico smiles, though he can't see, appreciating his option to talk about something else*

Pokemon...Yes. I got some very sweet ones.

I haven't slept well since...

*Sonico says no more, but there's something in the way she says it that suggests she knows that he's the same*

Are you..feeling any better?

No. No, I can't sleep either. My pokemons are mostly troublemakers. My partner's dragon keeps trying to sneak into my bed, too. It likes body warmth.

What is keeping you awake? The cuddly dragons?

*Her voice is a little more than a whisper now but it's clear she's trying her best to sound cheeeful*

Something like that.

[ His own bad memories, actually, but this is about cheering her up, not depressing her further. ]

It's not snuck into my room tonight yet, but I know it'll try as soon as it believes me asleep.

I would like to get some singing lessons.

But... Are you okay? You said that you were unwell?

[He really didn't want to sound sarcastic or rude, but he did notice the tone of Sonico's voice seemed somehow saddened.]

[Since he does not sleep per see..]

Hello, Sonico. It's everything all right?

The voice that replied was perhaps not one that was expected considering how busy the maid generally was all day.

"Sonico? What in the world are you doing up at this hour? Are you okay?"

She sounded very awake.

Sakuya... Good evening. Or night. Or...maybe morning.

*Sonico really sounded quite unsure of what was going on*

I'm just...awake. I can't sleep... Can't you?

Hello.

*Sonico figures that robots probably don't have similar sleep patterns*

I'm...I'm not so great at sleeping these days.

*Sonico smiles slowly at the stranger. Besides, he seems young, so she should be as happy and energetic as possible*

I'd be more than happy to give you lessons. Do you have much experience?

*Then she closes her eyes and shakes her head*

And please don't worry about me. All is well.

Hmm. That's sweet though. It must like you a lot. And trust you too, if it wants to sleep beside you. That must be nice.

*Sonico didn't usually feel alone at night, but lately...it wasn't good*

"Lady Remilia is nocturnal. I'm always awake at this hour. I generally sleep before and after work."

In other words, she didn't sleep all that much.

"I've finished my chores and mid-evening tea has been served. I can bring you some if you so wish. It's no trouble."

Only Sakuya would offer to travel several miles to bring tea to someone in the middle of the night.

I do sing at the glee club back in my school, but my sibs criticize me and compare my voice to a screeching cat.

[They weren't far off from the truth.]

But Anastasia recommended me to go to you for some singing lessons just in case.

[Despite her words, he is still curious and worried about her.]

Well, I don't know what happened to you, but I hope you get better somehow.

[He recharges connected to a cable, it doesn't require Kay to off-line if he doesn't want to.]

It's understandable after what happened. We can talk about anything you want, I have all night.

[He really doesn't think of it as nice, more getting the scare of a lifetime.]

Maybe one of your pokemons would like to sleep in your bed, too. Some of them like the warmth, or just the company.

Maybe they would... Some of them are quite small...

*Sonico does seem to consider it for a while before she sighs slowly*

But I don't imagine they would get a very good sleep.

Anything I want... Oh. I don't know.

*Sonico pauses for a moment before trying to sit up on her bed*

Well...how are you?

Aww, that isn't fair. But you seem enthusiastic, and so that is half the battle!

*Sonico smiles kindly and then nods*

Oh! Anastasia. She is a good pupil! That was so kind of her.

*She lowers her eyes and nods her head thankfully*

Thank you. That is kind of you to think of me.
