MISSION: LUVDISC DIVE

[attr="class","minicharentry"]

maybe she's been duped. [break][break]

but if a young lady was struggling to take this job because she was terrified of the water, anyone would willingly step up to take her place, right? precisely, which is why sylvia did so. the poor thing looked like she was going to collapse out of fear. [break][break]

sylvia is adjusting the wet suit ahead of time, tying up silver locks that'd otherwise fall down to her waist. in the water is her primarina, who is already well adjusted to the soothing waves. [break][break]

her partner should be here soon, right..? still, the anticipation does nothing to soothe her slightly nervous heart. it feels like she's forgotten something... [break][break]

... were they notified that their partner was switched..?

The boat was a rental. A tiny, kind of useless, leisure vessel with evidence of twenty different names sanded out of its hull.

[break][break]
But it still conjured nostalgia as Lydia stepped onto its bobbing deck. She could imagine her father sitting in the captain’s chair, his grey-streaked azure locks rusting in a salty breeze. The veteran remembered the surprising roughness of his hands as he wrapped hers around the steering wheel. He pointed her straight ahead—and called out a couple of nautical terms. At that moment, it felt like she owned the world.

[break][break]

Right now, that freedom was erased by a sense of urgency. In close quarters like they were, the Luvdisc were likely to fight among themselves. This would not only stir up the water but potentially summon all kinds of predators. Ones small enough to turn that grotto into an abattoir. “Eyes out to starboard, Triton,” Lydia called to the Kingdra keeping pace with the vessel.
[break][break]

Though not a ranger, she often volunteered for tasks like this. As the future military enrollment hung in the balance, it was important to keep herself busy. “I believe we are getting close to our coordinates.”

[break][break]

That’s when she saw her partner. Blue eyes blinked, easily betraying their shock. “Hm.” It was not the partner she expected. “Afternoon,” Lydia murmured. Her tones were tinged Kalosian with an icy, distrusting tone. “I was told to expect Mackenzie Cunningham.” Much like her trainer, the Lycanroc at her feet surveyed the new entrant with guarded suspicion.

“You are not her.” Some might say that she was being paranoid, but this region devoured anyone who wasn't.

icy coldness meets bright warmth. [break][break]

"hello there!" she greets with a smile, the same that reaches a cheery, emerald gaze. she's energetic when she waves, and just as sunny when she breaks eye contact to carefully approach and step into the rental boat. the sudden shift in weight catches her off guard, but it isn't enough to knock the young woman over. [break][break]

a primarina whistles in greeting, waving her fin over to the guarded lycanroc; she holds the same energy as the trainer as she's being careful to approach. [break][break]

at the blonde woman's words, she can only raise a hand to gently rub the side of her neck. her smile shifts as the anxiety wells up in her stomach, but she pushes it down. she pushes it down. "oop.. i'm sorry, mackenzie wasn't feeling well." she chuckles, and with the same hand she outstretches it. the anxiety slowly settles, and chime to her tone returns. [break][break]

"you can call me sera! i'll be your partner today." she doesn't realize how strongly she's coming off, and when she does, she tilts her head, slightly. [break][break]

"ah.. sorry. too much?~"

Lydia does not mind the sun’s touch. It is a warm and welcome reminder of hope. Still, there is a shyness to the veteran as Seraphim greets her. In her home, such openness was not encouraged. At least not for her—it merely encouraged barbed reminders from her brother.
[break][break]

Though suspicious, the older woman makes no move to stop the girl’s entrance. Partially because she is blinded by the sunny interest and partially because she senses no threat. It would be like pulling arms on a playful kitten for batting your shoe. The sudden shift in weight is familiar to Lydia. One arm reaches out as if to steady the other woman, drawing short as the girl rights herself.
[break][break]

Fingers tighten their grip on the steering wheel. A breath of irritated air escapes the nostrils of Lydia’s button nose. The idea of calling off a mission because one has sniffles runs her the wrong way. After a car bombing, she’d forced herself out of bed to try and rejoin the fight. Even if there was only one leg to stand on. “And is there a reason she could not tell me this herself?”
[break][break]

After a moment, the shorter blonde gives Seraphim’s hand a shake. Her grip is firm and unyielding, almost as if asking for surrender from the stranger. The Lycanroc meanwhile stares at the Primarina. Lips lift awkwardly in the lupine’s approximation of a smile. The shorter blonde takes a calming breath. She cannot always expect perfect order.

[break][break]

The soldier faces her for a moment, allowing the woman’s chattering to come to an end. “Lydia.” She shakes her head in response to the question, though her cheeks pinken. “N-no, it’s fine.” She waited until everyone was comfortable before edging the boat away from shore.

[break][break]

“Are you aware of the mission?”

"cute~" [break][break]

oh, whoops. did she say that out loud? well, she did now, and she'll build off it with the same, radiant smile on her lips. "your name is pretty, too." sylvia chimes, gently sitting herself down and situating herself on the boat. maybe it's flattery, but it's all true; sylvia isn't the kind of person to tell a lie. at least, she isn't any more. [break][break]

the primarina is just as spiritly as her trainer, making little jumps along the water's surface as the boat begins to float down its route. the slight, pleasant breeze almost as the trainer forget to answer the earlier question. "oh, right! mackenzie said it was really sudden, and she felt really bad about it." that last part was a bit more than what she actually said, but lydia didn't need to know that. "and.. the mission is to save the luvdisc, right?" though she frames it as a question, she knows the task at hand. [break][break]

"it's a really dangerous world we live in, nowadays." a far cry from her idea of peaceful days.

Immediately, porcelain cheeks lit up bright pink. Some part of her felt attacked--cornered, even. Her fingers curl more tightly around the steering wheel. The idea that she is cute is an antithesis of her entire being. Her entire body stiffens as she adapts a straight-backed stare. It is obvious she is shocked. “Pardon?” Blue eyes give two slow blinks.
[break][break]

The comment on her name is met with a similar degree of discomfort. But she manages to rediscover her manners. Even if she finds the idea of complimenting a name ridiculous. Few people chose their monikers. Therefore, such praise would be more fitting to a parent. But that does not matter here. “Thank you.” Lydia finally murmurs. “Your name is strong.” An homage to Arceus’s greatest warriors in the other realms.
[break][break]

Fortunately, their talk soon turns to something she can better manage: work. “I see.” There is a pause as she debates the best way to extend that response. “I hope her health improves.” And, hopefully, that her substitute was competent. Her years in private school informed her that substitutes were often not even second best, merely what was left at the bottom of the barrel.
[break][break]

“That’s right.” Lydia acknowledges with a resolute nod. “They were trapped in a cave-in caused by Kyogre’s rampage. They are running out of food and oxygen.” The blonde shook her head. Again, human interference angered the heavens and innocents paid the price. She dreaded the day the ledger righted itself in full.
[break][break]

“May Arceus protect us.” For a moment, Lydia falls silent, her attention focused on the water ahead. Finally, her Kalosian accent reappears. “What Pokemon did you bring?” There is a pause. “We will need some…force.” Preferably, something with explosion.
