seventh [text/action for Justice Farm]
( Action for Justice Farm residents )
[A few hours later, a text post appears on the network.]
Steve. I apologize for worrying you.
That said, I am awake again.
[...and since she's still in mourning, she doesn't really want to talk much more besides that. There's no more from her.]

sixth [video/action for Saffron City]
[Oh hey, it's a video in the Saffron City gym. Imagine that. The camera swings to face out over the battle arena in the center of the gym, Sabrina on one side, and another woman facing her.
That other woman happens to be Ziva, calmly rolling a couple Pokeballs around in one hand as she stares down Sabrina--who seems to be trash talking her.]
"It's taken you quite some time to work up the nerve to challenge me. How long have you stayed here, now? Four months?"
[Ziva doesn't rise to the bait. Actually--she returns just as much sass.]
I did not think it was important. I have nothing better to do at the moment, so shall we?
( extended battle )
"I see you prefer Dark types. Terrible and vicious, much like their trainer. You named your Houndoom for your brother...it seems you care as much for it as you did him, to sacrifice it so carelessly.
[The barb lands, and Ziva's anger finally starts to rise.]
I see that you prefer taunts and pretending at clairvoyance to unnerve your challengers. It will not work on me.
[The rest of the battle is a rout, with an attack-boosted Misty utterly destroying both Mr. Mime and Alakazam with ease. Ziva claims her badge and winnings and walks past Eli and the still recording camera without another word.]

fifth [video/action for Justice Farm]
[Oh hey it's yet another new egg feed. Ziva is sitting on the floor across from a bright green and cream and a blue and black egg, both wrapped in blankets so they're sitting upright, both are starting to move. Her voice comes from off-screen, being the one holding the camera.]
I was beginning to worry. I see that was premature.
[She's speaking lowly, as if she doesn't want to wake what's inside--let both of them take their time. It's maybe a bit silly, but there you have it. She doesn't speak again until both eggs crack, the green one spilling out a tangle of limbs that proves to be a baby Scyther, which immediately and determinedly gets to its clawed feet. Ziva's sharp smile will go unnoticed.]
You will be...Tisha, I think.
[The second egg takes a bit longer, but it eventually yields a Riolu, who looks a bit more hesitant about the whole being born thing. Nervous. It's going to take some coaxing, some extra care.]
And you...hmm.
[Ziva has to think about that one. She liked the idea of a Riolu, at the time, but with a team full of confident bruisers and general forces of personality, having a shy little jackal is kind of...well, an anomaly. She's stumped.
And the video ends with that.]

[video/action for Justice Haus]
[Oh great, more camera antics. This time it's a Growlithe nose, snuffling at the camera, then a flash of a mouth, a dizzy ride, and finally coming to a shaky rest covered in drool and twitching and light chewing sounds.
...never leave your phone, or Pokegear in this case, within reach of an inquisitive dog.
There's a lopsided view of a basement room, music playing in the background that's not mixing too incredibly well with the everpresent background music.
And then stockinged feet dance through the camera's shot. A few moments later, Ziva comes into full view (farther away this time), practicing ballet.
The video continues for a few minutes, until the song she's dancing to ends.]
It's been too long since I have done this...
[Ziva looks at the camera (still drool covered, though now the chewing has stopped,) and her eyes narrow.]
...Abby, drop that.
[She walks over as her Growlithe drops the Gear with a whine, and picks it up with an 'eww, dog drool' look on her face.]
I should have known to keep this out of her reach. I am sorry for that.
[Click. She'll answer calls after she sanitizes her gear.]

third [backdated to the 8th, voice]
I have seen and heard people discussing Christmas celebrations, the decorations appearing...it makes me wonder, how many of us celebrate in other ways during the winter season.
I may not be celebrating much of anything, as I am outside the city. Hanukkah is best spent with family and friends. Though I would not pass up some of the traditional food.

second [video/action for Cherrygrove/Route 29]
[There's been more than enough time for Ziva to make it to the next town, but she hasn't gotten any farther. She seems to be busy with her Mawile, on Route 29 just outside of Cherrygrove City.]
Eli. That attack is not working on most of what we have encountered so far. Can you not do something else.
[Of course he can't--the Mawile shakes his head. All he's got is Astonish. Ziva sighs.]
You have that mouth. Can you not simply...bite? You do it while eating, simply face your opponent and...chew.
Maaaa...
You have got to be kidding. I named you for my father, but I think at this point he would be embarrassed rather than flattered.
[The grass rustles nearby, and Ziva turns in that direction.]
Let us try this again.
[She commands Eli forward, and this time she's battling a Shinx. Which she's obviously never seen before. Fantastic. She doesn't really expect Astonish to hit, the ghost-type move hasn't done anything to the normal types they've run into so far. But...it actually works. Huh.]
[ooc: Responses will be after she catches herself a Shinx. :3]

first
[Johto, have an intensely displeased (one might even say pissed off) and rumpled looking woman (is that a piece of ceiling tile caught in her hair...?)--glaring daggers at the door that has just been slammed in her face, because that's what you do.
She hadn't even finished asking her questions. Rude, not!Mom. Very rude. At least the strange-looking creature that had been shoved out the door with her was helpful enough to find in the spilled contents of her backpack and hand her this device that looks a lot like a very odd cell phone. It's already on and everything, not that Ziva's noticed, wound up as she is. Her voice is slightly hysterical when she speaks--and definitely agitated, because dammit she has a lot to be agitated about.]
This is absurd! I would think that this was a dream, that I hit my head in the explosion and for some reason I imagine this place instead of somewhere that would make sense...!
[Yup, too agitated to speak English properly it would seem. At least, that doesn't sound like a complete sentence, more like she trailed off mid-thought.]
I cannot believe this. And you...
[She glances down at the Pokemon by her side--though in confusion and not in anger, that seems to have mostly blown out of her.]
You look like something from one of McGee's computer games. [To herself:] Oh...I hope that he is all right.

Abby, Gus. I am in Cherrygrove.
[Waiting outside the Pokemon Center at that, Ari curled up at her feet and staring at anyone who gets too close, and her Hoothoot Lilit perched on one shoulder.]
