Search Nineteen: Fathers Day [Video] | Action for Saffron

[Video]

[What is this, Harry is being social? There must be a full moon, or something. Either way, the video feed snaps to life and Harry is looking at the camera with an awkward smile.]

Hey everyone.

Since today's fathers day, I thought I'd ask if there were any other fathers that have been dragged here. I know I can't be the only one and it seems like as good a day as any to maybe get in touch and trade stories if anyone wants to share.

Actually mothers as well since I missed that day in May, or even older siblings.

[Action]

[You can find him either playing solitaire with a pack of cards in the apartment or outside with some pokemon trailing after him for a walk. Which is interrupted as a Woobat flies into his face.]

Norman!

_{[Heather doesn't bother announcing herself as she comes in and flops down behind him, slinging an arm over his shoulder and letting her head rest on his shoulders. WHUMP.]

[Double daughter-Woobat-impact.]}

Heather!

[Hit by daughter and pokemon. You'll knock your poor old dad over at this rate kids. Norman just floats happily by.]

Sup, dad.

_{[Like she didn't just half-heartedly body-slam him in the back. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY.]}

[There is now a woobat on your head Heather. Enjoy that. Harry meanwhile just sits up.]

I think I'm becoming out numbered.

S'weird having more than one kid, huh?

_{[The Woobat is free to stay there, he's a very stylish hat.]}

Very. You're teaming up against me.

Be glad you didn't have any other kids to deal with back home, it would've been even worse.

_{[At least his Pokemon are too little and cute to be mad at.]}

I don't know. I think you would have counted as at least three kids. The trouble you got into.

I guess technically I was three kids.

_{[And he'd had to deal with ALL of them. ... Well, only briefly with Alessa... but it counted!]}

Hmmm....I suppose that's true.

You know I think that explains a lot really.

Yeah. Probably.

_{[Now that all her memories are in place... she can remember times when it must have been hard as hell for him to be the father she needed. Times when he must have been hammered hard with memories of his first daughter. ... And the day he lost that daughter.]

[After a self-conscious pause, she gives him a squeeze.]}

[He gives her a squeeze back.]

Don't worry, I managed to survive your dinosaur phase....somehow.

[He has a feeling that he knows what she's thinking about but his smile is light and joking. How hard it had been, losing her once, the worries that it wasn't even her? Well time passed and all of that took a back seat to being the father she needed.]

I guess we should all be thankful for that miracle.

_{[She knows he's trying to lightened the mood, so she grins.]}

So, dad. You wanna do anything to celebrate tonight? I was thinkin' we could go to that fancy restaurant on Main Street that we always pass 'cuz it's... y'know. Expensive.

You're just thankful I don't have as many pictures of that phase as I'd like.

[Always dad mode. And yes he's smiling.]

That sounds like a plan to me.

There's only so many shots of me doing T-rex hands and roaring at the camera you can take before it starts getting repetitive, what can I say.

They were entertaining though.
