[026] Video/Action

[When China turns on the feed, it's easy to tell he's sitting at the Pokemon Center, except he's not in Ecruteak anymore. He smiles at the camera.]

Nihao! I was hoping to give away all these eggs, aru.

[He moves the camera for it to focus on the eggs, which are all snuggled into a red warm blanket within a basket. After letting the camera take it all in for two minutes, China moves it back onto himself.]

I have Eevee, Dratini, and Bagon eggs. I can be found at the Center in Goldenrod and I can assure you that they'll all grow up to be just as beautiful and powerful as their mothers!

[If you look carefully, you might notice something moving under China's white sweater as well as a baby Chikorita napping on his lap. Oh, and hey! His hair's grown back and is now in it's usual ponytail once again!]

~~[OOC: There is still time to get an egg! There's one more Bagon slot open and two more Dratini slots! Here is the link.]~~

_{[It's pretty much okay as long as he can keep a bit of distance. The way she just popped up caught him off guard.]}

They grow to be pretty big, don't they?

I believe so and I've seen Nanao's. I think they are interesting-looking creatures. Birds clad in armor, aru.

They're definitely something else, yeah.

Yet they can fly so fast. At least, that's what the Pokedex says, aru.

...Just out of curiosity, Cooper, when is your birthday?

_{[He looks surprised at the question. That's definitely unexpected.]}

April 19th.

Ah, so it has already passed, aru. I will have to get you a gift next year then.

You don't have to.

_{[But you just earned yourself a smile anyway.]}

What about you, then?

October 10. Though, my people tend to hold it on October 1 since that is the day the People's Republic was established, aru.

So which do you prefer?

Well, considering I have been existing long before the People's Republic, I prefer the tenth, aru. I usually hold a smaller celebration with my family and friends.

_{[A nod.]} I'll remember that.

Hopefully our paths will cross again when my birthday comes around, aru. I would be happy if you could join in person.

I'll try my best to be there.

If not, then I understand. We can't be present for everything, aru.

Very true, but it doesn't stop us from trying.

Well, my birthday is still a long way off anyway, aru. Let us talk about other things while we are here.

[He leans back in his chair a bit, though not before checking on the eggs.]

Do you have any topic in mind?

Hm... [His eyes look up as he thinks.]

If anyone from your world were to show up here, who would you want it to be?

_{[That stalls him for a second, but the answer comes without any real delay.]}

I'd very much like to see a colleague of mine again. Albert Rosenfield. A good man, despite first impressions. Hasn't got much in him for social niceities. Unlike Sheriff Harry Truman; one of the kindest people I know and who has stood by me on numerous occasions in a very short period of time.

_{[He misses them.]}

There are many colleagues that I would like to see again too, including those I have worked with in the past, aru. Puyi would be one of them.

The last emperor of China.

_[Right?]

[China looks surprised for a moment.] Yes, exactly.

[He brings Mei-Fan closer to him and regains his usual calm exterior.]

He was only two years old when he ascended to the throne, aru. I was with the officials and the eunuchs when they came to his family's household to retrieve him. He cried and struggled a lot when they picked him up, aru.

WIt must have been quite an ordeal for someone so young.

I was always with him after that moment. Over time, I felt as though I could relate to him in some ways, aru.

It seemed as though we both had our childhoods stolen from us.

[After going through so many revolutions and civil wars that clashed with his traditional beliefs as well as the new ones that had been introduced to him, China's respect for his past royal families was not as deep as before, but that didn't mean it was completely gone. They were a part of his history after all.]

Well. Then you did have each other.

_{[It's encouragement, coming from Coop, really.]}
