Search Three: [Video] / Action for Goldenrod

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

[Video: Hey Route! Have an awkwardly smiling Harry, he's standing outside a hotel. Lisa the Togepi is peaking out of the bag on his shoulder, looking around.]

 

I guess you can get used to anything. Or at least I'm getting used to camping anyway. Heather and I made it to Goldenrod. 

 

[Just looking around]

 

....I guess it is true they paint every building the same colour. ...

 

Ah, well. I'd better go look around a bit so I don't get lost. 

[Action:

Harry Mason is off on an adventure. And by adventure I mean he's exploring Goldenrod. 

You can find him looking around a few places in the town. Stores mostly.  Why yes he does look lost.  ...is there a book store? He may be looking for something with books. Or feel free to find him in front of the hotel. ]

I'll keep that in mind but I don't think I'll get many answers from the locals here.

I'm still rather new myself, have you been here long?

[ridingthewinds.livejournal.com]

Not at all. It has only been a few weeks since I arrived. [pause] Truthfully, it seems much longer than that.

[harryusedworry.livejournal.com]

Feels longer. Yeah.

I've mostly been on an endless camping trip myself. My daughter met me halfway before we headed towards this city.

[ridingthewinds.livejournal.com]

Your daughter? You have family, in this place? [First she's heard of it!]

[harryusedworry.livejournal.com]

Yes. She's been here over a year I think.

[ridingthewinds.livejournal.com]

A year... [She shakes her head a little.] That she's been here for so long and still not found a way to return home is a little disheartening.

[harryusedworry.livejournal.com]

She's told me they haven't found a way back yet.

You're eager to get home then?

[ridingthewinds.livejournal.com]

[She manages a little smile.]

It's easy to forget about home, isn't it? In a world as peaceful and dreamlike as this. But I am needed, in my world.

[harryusedworry.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't say easy.

I'm just not really in a hurry, unless Heather wants to.

[Apologetic smile.]

It might sound strange, but I was killed before I came here. This place gave me the chance to see my daughter again.

[ridingthewinds.livejournal.com]

[Well, that throws her in for a loop.]

I-I'm sorry, I didn't think... [A shake of the head to compose herself. ... but what do you say to that kind of comment?]

It... is fortunate to hear, then, that some good can come of this place. [Smile.] I'm glad you found each other.

[harryusedworry.livejournal.com]

[His smile is a little sad but no he understands that. He just nods.]

It's not something you'd normally assume. I know.

Thank you. I'm glad too.

She...means a lot to me.

[The face of an obvious doting father. So proud of his little girl you don't even.]

[ridingthewinds.livejournal.com]

I can see that. She's quite lucky. To have family in a place such as this must make things a little less confusing.

[harryusedworry.livejournal.com]

Oh I think I'm the lucky one with that. I'd be horribly lost without her advice on the place.

[ridingthewinds.livejournal.com]

At least you have each other.

[harryusedworry.livejournal.com]

That's true.

But I can understand other people wanting to get back.

[ridingthewinds.livejournal.com]

[pause, while she thinks of how to tactfully phrase this...]

As charming as this world can be, it's still isn't home. And some of us have responsibilities to attend to, in our own worlds.

[harryusedworry.livejournal.com]

[He nods. No he understands.]

If I hear anything I'll let you know.
