005 ♰ video/action for Violet City (she's slowly becoming Lion with Cherrygrove.)

[fathersbeloved]

[The inn room is poorly lit, probably just whatever light from the outside that could get through the curtains. Darjeeling the Houndoom can be seen lying at the bed's feet, just beside the owner of the pokegear.

Beatrice looks like she hasn't had a good night sleep in some days, even when she woke up 5 days ago. Her eyes are puffy, but there is no evidence of crying. She does look rather upset.]

Good night... I... just wanted to tell everyone I am awake... and that I am fine.

[She pauses, struggling with something inside...finaly, she frowns, and looks away for a moment.]

I wish to ask to you, all of you who might know the answer... could you please tell me, what is a son? How... how does having a son feel? Please...


[The feed cuts abruptly.]

[Something seems off about this, particularly since she'd just recently seen Beatrice and Battler bickering over flying to Violet.]

Beatrice...? Is everything all right?

[fathersbeloved]

Yes... I feel somewhat confused, but I am fine. Can you tell me your name?

[eagledheart]

[...Shouldn't Beatrice know who she was? Her demeanor was very different than the arrogant witch as well.]

Oh, I'm sorry. I mistook you for someone I know, you look very much like her. My name is Natsuhi Ushiromiya. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[fathersbeloved]

Ah, more of Kinzo's family...! The pleasure is mine, Natsuhi!

[eagledheart]

Yes, I'm the wife of his eldest son, Krauss. May I ask how you know him, however?

[fathersbeloved]

Kinzo comes to my mansion to visit often. We share a different blend of tea everytime.

[eagledheart]

I see. Was this mansion on Rokkenjima? ...And you share the name Beatrice with the Golden Witch, do you not?

[fathersbeloved]

Yes! It was a big mansion, big enough to play hide and seek with Genji and Kumasawa! Though it was always Kumasawa who took a long to find me... Genji didn't usually play, but when he did, he could find me in seconds!

And yes... Beatrice and I share the same name, though we are not the same person. Since you knew my name, I believe you met her first...

[eagledheart]

[This Beatrice sounded like a happy, innocent child for the most part... She couldn't be the rumored mistress of Kinzo who'd given him the gold, then. Her daughter, perhaps?]

So you knew Genji and Kumasawa, but didn't meet any of Kinzo's relatives until coming here?

And yes, I knew the Golden Witch Beatrice from even before I arrived here in Johto. Is there a reson you share her name?
