[ When the feed starts up, it's hard to tell what you're looking at, between shaky camerawork and a dark setting. The first minute offers nothing but a jumbled view of rocks and dirt, lit by what seems like a candle flame. Sniffling and quick breathing come from just offscreen, joined occasionally by the grinding scrape of rock on rock.
Then the 'gear turns abruptly on a disheveled Shooter. The boy is chewing his lip and swiping at wet eyes, dirt in his hair, scrapes on his face and shoulder. In the background are rocks, and some of them move; the boy's Rhyhorn shoves itself relentlessly against the new wall of stone, a Charmeleon providing enough light to see by. The ceiling is low enough to keep them crouching, and it's cramped with just the three bodies. ]
I think-- um, I think I might need help, we're in this cave and I was fighting and some of the rocks came down-- and they're really big rocks--
[ His voice catches. For the first time since he arrived in Johto -- six months and counting -- Shooter's crying in front of someone. He'll argue if you dare to point this out, of course.
But he's still just a ten-year-old out alone. ]
I'd call Doc b-but Doc isn't here, my mom and dad aren't here, um-- I don't think I can move the rocks--
C-can someone come get me?

Date: 2011-06-13 02:59 am (UTC)Don't you worry, I'm on my way. Just keep talkin' to me, alright?

Date: 2011-06-13 02:49 pm (UTC)Well, try not to use Rock Slide inside a cave next time, all right? And don't worry about the rumblin', that's just my pal here doin' his job. We'll be there lickety-split!
[video]
Date: 2011-06-13 06:22 pm (UTC)[ He takes a second to steady his breathing, fails, and spends some time poking at his scrapes instead. Okay, maybe a couple rocks hit him. Little ones. ]
Okay, I'll-- not worry, I'll just... stay here.

{Video}
Date: 2011-06-13 07:38 am (UTC)HE WANTS A HUG ]
I'm-- I'm really really calm, there's a-already someone coming--
[ His attempt at keeping a brave tone fails spectacularly. ]

Date: 2011-06-13 10:47 am (UTC)SHE'S TOO FAR AWAY FOR THAT ;A; }
I-it's okay, Shooter, I know this is scary, just breathe slowly. I promise it will be okay.
{Her lip is wibbling the tiniest bit.}
{Video}
Date: 2011-06-13 06:01 pm (UTC)[ Trying to slow his breathing helps a little, and he scoots a little closer to Orange's tail fire. His team will protect him 8c ]

Date: 2011-06-15 05:36 am (UTC){That's good. Now, if she can only take his mind off his situation long enough for that Rhyhorn to break through that rockfall...}

[ Using Rock Slide in a cave = best idea. ]

Date: 2011-06-13 06:42 pm (UTC)Red, calm down. You will be okay, I'm sure of it. Where are you, what cave?

Date: 2011-06-13 09:39 pm (UTC)[ That was not a very calm voice right there, Shooter. ]
We're in, um, Union Cave, there's already someone coming!

[video]
Date: 2011-06-13 10:01 pm (UTC)[ Someone really needs to challenge Johto's policy of letting ten-year-olds go on adventures without supervision. Still, Shooter looks just as determined as he is scared; a real hero would be okay and get out of this. And he's got Pokemon, nothing bad can happen when you've got Pokemon! ]
None of the big rocks got me, just a c-couple little ones.
[video]
Date: 2011-06-13 10:21 pm (UTC)[Whoever thought it would be funny to let ten years old kids wander alone across the continent will be getting a kick in the guts from Crow, should he ever meet them. Still, he realizes there's nothing he can do, since reaching the damn cave would take him weeks at best and his own helplessness pisses him off.]
You're not hurt, are you? [You better say you're fine or he's gonna have a heart attack here.] Who are you traveling with? Do they know what happened?
[video]
Date: 2011-06-14 05:12 am (UTC)[ It's fast and loud, more than a little panicked, and though Shooter keeps his voice steady for those two words he immediately falls back into sniffling and shaky breathing. ]
It's just me and-- me and the team, I'd let all of them out but they w-wouldn't fit.
[video]
Date: 2011-06-14 06:41 pm (UTC)Just you? Why the hell-- [Okay, no use yelling now, especially since it won't help the kid at all. He tries again, this time sounding much calmer.]
Do you know if there's anyone around who could help you get out from there?
[video]
Date: 2011-06-15 04:12 am (UTC)[ He wipes at his eyes impatiently, which does little but leave dirt smudges. ]
I had a grownup for a while but he left.
