[It's a rather awkward angle. Ming appears to be lying on her front and holding her gear out and above her. She looks mostly normal...save for the long, pink, curved eyebrows jutting out from her face and her pink eyes.]

I'm afraid I'm in need of a small bit of assistance...

I'm perfectly fine, really, it's only that...ah...this is a bit embarrassing...

I think I need to be in water, right now, but I'm afraid I've....lost my mobility. For the moment.

[She angles the gear to show the rest of her. Which seems the same...until around about the hip area. Jutting out from her now dirty, runched up skirt is a shimmering, coiled Milotic tail. She's tried dragging herself, she's tried rolling, and she's tried using the tail to propel herself, and all have failed to varying degrees. Kotone attempted to help, but even that only got Ming a few feet.]

[She keeps trying to move legs she doesn't currently have. If she can get herself into some water, she's sure she'd have a better time of it. She really hopes that this is as temporary as people have been positing.]

I'd be most appreciative of any assistance.

[The Gear is juggled a little awkwardly before the feed settles onto a view of a...mostly normal looking young boy. Just, uh. Ignore the shoulders there.]

Where exactly are you? I can try to come help.

I'm not quite sure, I was on my way back from the Pokemon Center when...well...it came upon me rather suddenly.

There's a Blastoise fountain right beside me, though.

You're...You're Roy's young friend, aren't you?

[Ming's heard the young man's voice over the 'gear a few times, and perhaps seen him from a distance, though she's never personally spoken with him.]

_{[A shadow falls over the forlorn fish. Today is a lucky day, for Ralph managed to coax himself out of hiding. There weren't so many people on the streets right now and that kept his nerves in check.]

[And those who were mutated didn't really show up on his 'people' radar so heavily. The Clefable man hesitates, ears twitching as he watches her SOS on her 'gear.]}

Need a lift?

Blastoise fountain...oh, and there's a bookshop nearby, right? I know where that is! I'll be there as soon as I can!

Oh, are you who he's been traveling with? [He beams down at the Gear sunnily as he starts heading out.] Yeah, that's me! My name is Alphonse, it's very nice to meet you. ...though it could be under better circumstances...

Oh!

[Ming twists awkwardly, looking up. This body...it's so unwieldy! And she's grown quite comfortable in hers, after a thousand years.]

Yes, I'm afraid I do! I can't seem to make this work.

[She just gestures to the multi-faceted fanned tail that stretches out behind her.]

While it's quite lovely, it's very lacking in functionality. At least on land.

Yes, yes I think so. I'm afraid I'm still not terribly familiar with the city.

Yes, I'm Ming, Ming Numara. Roy's been quite the blessing, I'm so lucky I met him when I first arrived!

_{[Ralph's ears swivel forward.]}

Lucky you, the ocean's not that far. Hmm.

_{[He stoops down and tries to figure out the most comfortable and polite way to lift this poor...well, mermaid for lack of a better term. He finally settles for just grabbing her under her arms and holding her at arm's length away from him.]}

Here we go.

Oh!

[She blinks at Ralph. Ming's not unfamiliar with being picked up by strange men. But usually they scoop her up and gently cradle her. It's quite comfortable, she usually enjoys it.]

[This...is not that. She's reminded of children holding dead things that have washed up on shore - awkwardly and as far from them as possible. her tail is dragging on the ground. Goodness, it's heavy!]

Ah...I do hate to be a bother...but...I think I'm in need of a bit more support...this tail is very heavy...

Oh. Sorry 'bout that.

_{[He lifts her even higher. Now you are Simba, Ming. Everything the light touches is your kingdom.]}

[....well, this would have to do. It won't be for long. And she is grateful for the assistance. However awkward it is.]

Er...thank you. If you could just put me in some water...?

Not to worry, that's where we're headed. The beach is only a few blocks away. Y'don't mind salt water, do you?

I certainly don't imagine so! I come from an island nation and I believe the creature I've taken the attributes of lives in the ocean...

[The ocean seems like the likeliest place to put her.]

This whole affair really is most inconvenient!

_{[Ralph lets out a snort that isn't entirely kind.]}

Better get used to it, sister! This is Tuesday for us. Least none of the weirdness that goes on is actually dangerous. How long y'been here?

It's alright! It took me a while to get used to where everything is in the city.

I'm glad to hear that! He's had nothing but good things to say when he mentions you.
