A: video; un: Lightwings (public post)
[The video starts with Sara almost glaring into the phone's camera, but something seems a little odd. First, there's some sort of fuzzy look at the bottom of the camera, though it's not immediately clear what that fuzzy even is. Second, the phone is on the move and Sara is chasing it.]

C'mon, get back here! [She is answered by a little squeal from something off-camera. It's then followed by a voice from somewhere outside of the room saying "Sara, please stop harassing the cat." ... That squeal was definitely not a cat.

The chase continues for a few minutes, with the phone (or more-accurately, whatever is carrying it) going across the dresser, jumping onto the bed, then crossing both the bed and the table next to it, knocking over a pair of plushies, jumping off of the table and then bolting under the bed, before changing its mind and going into the closet, before changing its mind again and going back under the bed a second time, all while making noises that sound suspiciously like giggles.

Sara, for her part, remains less than amused.] Uuuuuugh, gimme my phone back! [She reaches under the bed after it, but it's gotten too far under there for her to reach without crawling under the bed herself.]

B: at Sara's house (for Luz)
[Though it's something a bit more-mundane than things she's seen (or seen discussed) in the past month, it's still something rather unfamiliar to her; having company over to hang out, play games and stuff.

With her life before Kaisou having involved frequent moving from one foster home to another, she'd never really had much opportunity to try to make any friends in the places she'd lived, and at some point she had decided to write the idea off completely because why should she bother when she was just going to disappear from the lives of anyone she got to know the next time she had to move? And yet, here she was, having asked her current foster parents about having someone over to visit, having gotten pretty much an immediate okay for it, and then having sent a quick message to the someone in question when she felt she was as ready as she could be.

All she can really do now is wait and see if or when her visitor actually arrives.]

[At three on the dot Luz made her way over, in sporty attire, with a Kriktune and a Fomantis in tow. She knew they were normally kept in some strange kind of ball, but was still very confused on how that worked, and didn't bother. They were pretty well behaved, if slightly clumsy, and loved their human companion just as much as she loved them.

Michigan the frog she left at home. He was probably sore from all his dancing the previous day].

She knocked on the door, a bag of snacks in hand, her Pokemon curious to see where their person was taking them today.

[sundered_wings]

[Considering the friends that Luz brought with her, it's probably good that Sara herself is the one to answer the door.]

Hi. [Then she just stands there, momentarily blanking on what to do next, partly because she was expecting one visitor, not three.

... Oh, right, they should probably just go straight to her room. Since it looks like Luz did bring stuff with her, there's not much need to grab anything that was already here in the house.] C'mon, my room's this way.

[Once they're in Sara's room, the room is...relatively sparse, actually? She hasn't asked for much in the time she's spent in this home.

There are a few plushies sitting on the table next to the bed, some other assorted toys laying out on the floor (some of them accompanied by bits of...cotton?), a fondue fountain sitting on top of the dresser for some reason, and Sara's phone lying face-down on the bed, though she picks that up soon enough since the Tetris game on the Libra app is a good part of the reason why Luz is even here to begin with.]

So uh... Kinda forgot to give names before? I'm Sara.

[a_cute_batata]

Hey! Sorry I didn't mention these guys! I'm still trying to bond with them, and since we moved recently I wanted them to still feel comfortable with me.

[Kricktune was newer, but Fomantis had recently evolved into Lurantis, so there was still all of that to get used to. Luz had gone from caring for a small grass Pokemon to a taller one with very noticeable colors.

Luz does notice the sparseness of the room, and debates quietly whether to ask about it and decides against it. That can wait until proper introductions and snacks].

Yep, we really did! I'm Luz, Luz Noceda, aspiring witch and, uh, new Pokemon owner, I guess?

[sundered_wings]

[Though one of them isn't actually one, they both look like really big bugs, but...they're sort of cute? It's fortunate that they look like the less-harmful sorts; had they been more like bees or wasps, there would have been problems.]

I'm not really anything special, I'm just me. [That she never really feels tired enough to need to sleep anymore has been noticed by now, but that's not something that fits her definition of "special".] I've had people tellin' me that being on that app thingy means I will be, but I dunno, it's been like a month and not a whole lot's really happened to me.

[Now eyeing that bag.] What'dja bring?

[a_cute_batata]

[It just so happened that Luz had not chosen those Pokemon (well technically the first one had followed Fern around and Luz adopted him), but she was pretty happy with the ones she had right now! It had been a pretty rough few months, so they had happily made Luz's life a little more complicated, which was better than being sad].

Don't be silly, everyone's special in some way! Besides, this kind of thing won't happen overnight anyway. It's probably better that it happens slowly.

Oh this? I got some peanut butter cups, trail mix, soft chocolate chip cookies, some sour cream chips and some sour worms! Any strike your fancy?

[sundered_wings]

Not knowing when it's gonna happen just kinda makes it feel... I dunno. [Sara doesn't like it much when things change, preferring that they remain familiar or in a way that's normal to her for as long as possible, so she's not particularly looking forward to it. But, if she knows that it is going to happen at some point, she thinks she she'd rather have it be over and done with as soon as possible so she can start getting used to it sooner, rather than continuing to just wait and wonder when it'll finally be time.

When Luz lists off what she brought with her for snacks, some of it definitely gets Sara's attention, but also some of it very definitely does not; she's not a fan of sour things.]

What kinda chocolate? I don't really like the darker stuff a whole lot.

Scratch that "followed Fern/Luz adopted" part, that was wrong. This is a different Pokemon.

[a_cute_batata]

Maybe just don't think about it for now. All you have to remember is when something DOES happen, there'll be people around who you can contact that can help you through it!

[Her Lurantis and Kriktune chirped in agreement. There wasn't much you could do about how you got your powers when they happened, but you could at least find someone who could walk you through it!

And that just meant more sour worms for Luz]!

Milk chocolate and white! I do like dark chocolate too, but usually in a trail mix!

[sundered_wings]

I guess? [That sounds like it'd be a little dependent on whatever happens being something that someone here is familiar enough with to be able to help her with it. Familiarity or not, though, there's probably someone that would at least try, and if she has to, Sara can just go start yelling at her brother and have him try to help her deal with it.]

Both of those kinds are fine by me. [Since the snacks were brought over to be eaten, Sara's just gonna go ahead and grab something. Rather than one of the cookies as might have been expected due to her question, she's going for one of the peanut butter cups instead, and the thing she does grab is eaten pretty quickly.]

So uh, you were gonna try to show me how to not suck at Tetris, right?

[a_cute_batata]

Yeah. Just deal with it as you go.

[She left the snacks with Sara and looked around the room a moment, taking stock of her surroundings. Boy, they were sure different, weren't they? With Alberto he'd been almost over compensating when it came to items, and Sara was the exact opposite.

Still, that wasn't a big deal. Some people liked a more Spartan look, right]?

They're there for us, so take whatever you want!

Oh, obviously! But if you wanted to talk about anything else, we can do that too!
