[Erika's light slumber had been interrupted by the sounds of the softest flutterings of wings. The sounds of adversaries. She left her bed and discovered MOTHS. EVERYWHERE. IN HER EYES. If she were the type of person to shriek she would have but she did not. Oh goodness they were everywhere and... her plants! Erika almost nearly cried until she noticed that despite the insect invasion, her plants were unharmed.

Huh.]

Does... Does anyone happen to need any moths?

I have... quite a few of them.

[Beep beep here comes Brock and he's got a butterfly net.

Don't ask him where he got it.]

[natureprincess]

[She won't ask. She'll just open the door and blink at him in surprise.]

..Oh!

[animu-nerd.livejournal.com]

[Otacon is not normally one to freak out, but after searching around in the school's summer boxes, he is also arriving in her room with a net. Alas his intentions are probably not as noble as brocks as moths are bad news for computers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_bug) especially the larger ones at school]

[natureprincess]

[Suddenly nets! Two of them! That's as many as two nets!]

...Hello..!

[animu-nerd.livejournal.com]

[He hands her the bug net.]

Try catching as many as you can now, I'll be back with boxes we can safely put them in!

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

Right.

[IT'S NET TIME]

[natureprincess]

[Erika acquired one net! She was going to say something to Otacon, but he was already gone.]

... Well then.

[MOTHS. MOTHS YOU ARE GOING TO BE CAPTURED.]

[THE MOST DRAMATIC MOTH CATCHING IN ALL THE LAND]

[animu-nerd.livejournal.com]

[Otacon is back with boxes for the moths and another net!]

[animu-nerd.livejournal.com]

[Woops, interrupting some sort of montage, better wait...okay they are done]

We should light up a single source of light in the room and let the rest of them move towards it. It should make catching them much easier.

[Or so he read up on National Geographic]

[natureprincess]

[She could certainly see how this could be useful.]

Alright.

[And there she goes, drawing the curtains on all the windows to try and make it dark in the room.]

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

[Brock, meanwhile, is the NET MASTER]

[natureprincess]

[What an impressive display of NET SKILLS. Now that the room is darker than it was before, Erika's pulled a lamp over and switched it on.]

[animu-nerd.livejournal.com]

[It's working! It remind him of his childhood days with E.E. ]

Only a few left!

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

[Brock is busy emptying his net into one of the boxes.]

Otacon, right?

[animu-nerd.livejournal.com]

Yes, that would be me. You must be Brock.

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

That's me.

Thanks for your help.

[natureprincess]

[With the last (hopefully) moths in her net, Erika can safely give both of her moth catching saviors a bow.]

Thank you both for your help. It's incredibly appreciated.

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

No problem.

[He looks at the box.]

We should let them go outside.

[sweetscentmint.livejournal.com]

Oh... not you too, Miss Erika?

[natureprincess]

I suppose me too... Luckily it was nothing too serious.

[sweetscentmint.livejournal.com]

Are you okay? Not hurt or anything?

[natureprincess]

Just a tiny bit surprised, really.

I hope you're alright...?

[sweetscentmint.livejournal.com]

I'm fine, just a little upset at how everyone's getting pranked today. It just seems so mean.

[haswetpokemon.livejournal.com]

M...

Moths?!

[Erika, Misty feels for you. Especially since she herself is terrified of those things.]

[natureprincess]

Luckily they were only tissue eating moths...

[haswetpokemon.livejournal.com]

I guess, but... ugh. Moths are still disgusting!

[natureprincess]

They're alright... when they're not... all over my plants...

[haswetpokemon.livejournal.com]

That'd be bad if they messed up your plants... This is one reasons why I hate bugs!

[natureprincess]

I nearly cried. I cannot be entirely opposed to them since there are quite a number that are beneficial... Still, it was a rather unpleasant surprise.

[haswetpokemon.livejournal.com]

I guess they can be, but I'd still never want to go near them.

[Oh Misty, your fear will never be swayeeeed.]

[boxingmidget.livejournal.com]

[Mac couldn't believe someone would prank someone as sweet as Erika...Mac was getting more angry at this mystery prankster by the minute.]

MOTHS? Someone pranked you, too, Miss Erika?

[natureprincess]

It appears that way... Are you alright, Mac?

[boxingmidget.livejournal.com]

Not really, Miss Erika. This prankster guy is really startin' to make me bake. He's got some sick sense of "humor".

[natureprincess]

While I certainly agree with you... Please keep a cool head about it, Mac. Rash actions are rarely helpful ones.

[boxingmidget.livejournal.com]

B-but, Miss Erika...I-I'm sorry...I just have a problem with guys who break into people's places and do cruddy things to folks. Just somethin' I can't stand.

[natureprincess]

I'm not saying you can't be upset over it. I'm certainly upset myself. I just don't want you doing anything in the heat of the moment.

[boxingmidget.livejournal.com]

...Yes, ma'am. I'll keep that it mind.

But I really do wanna do somethin' 'bout it.

[monotreme-101.livejournal.com]

Oh, you were pranked with moths!?

I can bring over some jars and we can put them outside! I'd hate to think of them getting squished or anything. And we need to get it done before Slippy sees this post! Aaaaa

[natureprincess]

Yes.

I think the situation is under control... Mr. Otacon brought over some boxes for them.

[monotreme-101.livejournal.com]

Oh, phew! Glad to hear it, miss Erika.

If you need any more help with them, let me know.

[natureprincess]

I'll be sure to do so. Thank you, Knuckles.

[snowypoison.livejournal.com]

MOTHS?!

They won't eat me... Will they..?

[natureprincess]

No need to worry. They'll do no such thing.

[snowypoison.livejournal.com]

Was it a prank?

[lovely-wind.livejournal.com]

Oh dear! I do hope they didn't cause any damage!

[natureprincess]

Luckily not! I just need to go shopping for more tissues.

[lovely-wind.livejournal.com]

Oh, good! It would be simply terrible if they had ruined any clothes!
