2 Red Bean Pastries [backdated to after Pearl is mallynapped 4/18]

[heartofthematter]

[Hhheello Luceti! Yeah! Hi! There's um, you see, there's a very concerned looking boy on the network with his Munchlax working hard on something in the background. Diamond's trying not to appear too panicked, seeing as it could just be a case of him going to the Battledome and stuff, but... After a moment, Lax holds up what he'd been working on and it appears to be an odd drawing of someone. It's not too bad considering a Pokémon drew it. Diamond adds "LOST" at the top and shows it to the camera.]



Thanks, Lax. Um... [Let's see how to put it.] My best friend Pearl never came home with me and the Little Miss from school and to our Brigade meeting and all, so if someone could find him we'd give you a lot of tokens and a basket of homecooked food. He's always on time.

[Yeah. Pearl's team is just kind of hanging around, having searched the village shortly before with their speed, and Diamond bows slightly with his hands clasped in front of him. It's a formal request so they've got to be official and all!]

Thank you.

[otherwise Diamond's pretty much hanging outside of House 11 on his Torterra, thinking about things and afterwards getting a talk from a returned Silver. waaah Pearl he's sorry he let their school project get eaten by Lax please come home soon]

Ah...I'm afraid I haven't seen Pearl recently, so I don't know if I would be able to tell you where he might be at the moment. Maybe if there were other clues to taste...

[...But then he seems to rethink whatever the heck he was saying, as after a moment he then gives a small bow towards the window of the journal--telling Dia we haven't seen Pearl probably doesn't help, but...] My sincerest apologies. However, I'll keep an eye out and let you know if I see him!

[To be honest, Diamond has a feeling about what's happened regarding Pearl since that boy wouldn't exactly run off without telling his friends first, but he doesn't want to admit to it. It's probably clear on his face.]

Thanks. I hope he comes back soon.

[cilantro]

Right. I'm sure he'll be back as soon as he can. [If Pearl's Pokemon are still here, then it's a sign that Pearl will be back. It's just a matter of when he shows up on his own or when the Malnosso decide, but rather than saying that...] What about you? Are you alright?

[heartofthematter]

[Pearl would rather die than be late, so Diamond doesn't doubt that. He nods.]

I'm fine, just keeping his Pokemon company. [Chathiko squawks "Fine! Fine!" in the background, and Diamond smiles.] They're trying to come up with a plan, I think.

[cilantro]

I see. [That's nice to see just how much Pearl's Pokemon care about him. After a moment he offers a smile.] Do you desire any further company? We're not particularly busy at the moment, so I wouldn't mind speaking with you a little longer about whatever you'd like!

[Maybe they could talk about pokemon or recipes or something else as a distraction of sorts if it makes Dia feel any better?]

...

[ Kotomi stares at the drawing for quite some time before she finally slowly answers with her usual blank voice. ]

I haven't seen him in the library..

video;

[heartofthematter]

[Pfft Pearl at the library.



No that's sound.]

Ah... Well, if he comes in sometime, can you tell him to come home?

[etudes]

Sure. I wouldn't want to let a friend be worried, so.. I'm sure he's the same, right? I'll just tell him his friends is very, very worried about him, so it's no time to go sit and read.

[heartofthematter]

Thanks. He'd probably be looking at comedy books or battle books, so keep an especially good eye around those. Are you really at the library so often?

[acuity]

[ sounding a little out of breath, been searching the entire village on rapidash-back the whole day. ]

Ah... a sign? That's a good idea! I should have thought of that as well.

voice

[heartofthematter]

[that's his missy!]

Maybe we should make more and put them up around the village? You should rest, Missy, he wouldn't want us to get so worked up.

[... Says the boy who just suggested they put up signs everywhere.]

[acuity]

[ GENIUS, DIA. ]

There will be time for rest later! You're absolutely right, the more posters and the more we spread the word, the better!

[heartofthematter]

[HE IS THE SMARTEST OF THE THREE.]

... Okay! I'll make sandwiches so we can go out later and put a lot up without stopping for food, but for now let's slow down. You'll be all tired out before we even begin at the pace you've set!

[voice]

[sugarglitch]

[Oh, she remembers you from school, Diamond!]

Ooh. That's a really cool picture! Is that from art class?

[voice]

[heartofthematter]

[Oooh, hey Vanellope! He brightens up considerably.]

My Pokémon drew it! Come here, Lax. [His Munchlax moves more into the camera, waving. Yeah, that's his. He's a pretty okay drawer.] You wouldn't think someone like him could draw, but he's actually better than me, heheh.

[voice]

[kickingcatcher]

No, I'm afraid I haven't seen him. Do you know where he usually hangs out? [Or maybe he's hiding or something, these juniors.]

[voice]

[heartofthematter]

The Battledome. He's been going there a lot to train.

[So Diamond and Platina don't get hurt. He kind of hopes he won't have to train Pearl's team in the meantime...]

Otherwise, he's usually with me and the Little Miss.

[voice]

[kickingcatcher]

I go there a lot, too, and I'm afraid I haven't seen him. [If you do, Crys wants to help, she never gets to train the juniors...] Have you tried reaching his journal?

[voice]

[heartofthematter]

[Oh, Diamond won't mind training with Crystal these next two weeks to keep his mind off of Pearl not being around and... to keep Pearl's team sharp.

Even if he's not looking forward to training Chimhiko at all.

Sorry pal. No offense on you.]

Mmhmm! It's in the same spot as he usually puts it when we're at school, so it wasn't that hard to get to.

[please laugh at his joke]

[Voice]

[mischiefbreeder]

So he's still not back, huh...

[Voice]

[heartofthematter]

Uh huh. Do you think putting posters around will help? That way, when he comes back [from wherever come on Dia knows it's probably mallynapping but there's always that shred of hope] he'll know we've been looking for him.

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

Pearl's missing?

[Voice]

[heartofthematter]

[Their gemstone has been stolen!]

Uh huh. If he wasn't, he would've replied to this by now talking about how pointless this was. [Yeah. That's something you can count on.] So I think he's out of reach.

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

I see. That... that could be possible. Did any of you happen to... see any robots?

[Voice]

[heartofthematter]

None with or without eyelashes. [Diamond wonders if they'll start having them. He hopes so.] So he was taken from under our nose.
