Video, backdated to the day of Noelle's disappearance.
[A few hours after the first news of Noelle's disappearance breaks, everyone receives a video message. In the center is a now-familiar bug; Mr. Tenna looks haggard, shaken, and distraught, though he's putting in a valiant effort to stay put together. All the valiant effort in the world doesn't stop the river of grief pouring through, though, as tangible as emotions get. His hands tremble a little as he fidgets them together, unused to not at least having a microphone.
His tone is somber when he speaks.]
H-hello? Is this thing on? Goodness, it's still so hard to- well, nevermind that. [He straightens out, looking serious for once.] We've got an emergency on our hands! Our beloved Noelle Holiday has gone missing! Her last known location was the Pokeclinic at around 6.30am, and has not been seen since! You can recognize her by her- I mean, she's a deer! [He stumbles over his words a little.] Right now, her pelt is dark brown with a creme face and belly, and there's a large yellow flower growing on her head! She's cute as a button and as nice as ice cream, so you can't miss her!
[His lip trembles, and he reaches up in surprise- his eyes are watering, and he hastily blinks them away before continuing.]
If you've seen anyone like this, please report to a nearby guild member! We'll take all the information we can get! We all want to find Noelle as soon as possible, so please, please cooperate to the best of your abilities! Thank you very much! Let's find this deer together!
[He holds a determined pose for a moment, before slumping, sighing heavily. Does he realize he's still recording...?]
Oh... Noelle... where'd you go...? Why'd you have to leave...?
[He sniffles, holding back a sob, before the feed finally cuts out for real.]
His tone is somber when he speaks.]

EXACTLY!! Also I love Tenna sm thank you for bringing him, sorry late backtag is late
Also the grin is impressive but he can spot bullshit when he sees it.] I will, thank you! [Oh the dramatic irony of knowing he will, in fact, pass out in the snow. RIP
As for the rest...] What the hell is a TV?! Whatever, I am worried about her, not you dammit!! [He hangs up soon after that outburst.
(Everyone needs to eat. 'Everyone' is a pokemon here. Everyone needs to eat.)
So despite "not caring", Tenna will hear some banging on the door in about an hour or so? There will be no one there (perhaps a flash of curly tails if you're fast enough) but there's a small basket of food on the doorstep. Inside are some muffins with fruits in them, some salad in a wooden bowl, and half a loaf of bread with a jar of jam. Just an assortment of things, like the deliverer couldn't decide on what the receiver would like so just. Scattershot it. Bone apple teeth, Tenna.</small]
man don't even worry backtags are more than ok for me- king of the backtags
[Oh. Well, he's gone. Tenna sighs, wringing his appendages. He wishes he could do more for Noelle, but he- he's not in charge anymore. He's not huge, or powerful, or intimidating anymore. This is the best he can do.
Tenna continues milling about his soon-to-be studio, generally feeling sorry for himself and worrying for Noelle, when suddenly-
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Tenna nearly jumps out of his skin- er, he exoskeleton? Whatever, semantics, letting out a high-pitched shriek at the sudden banging on his door. Oh- oh god, now what?! He steadies himself, and-
-it's just... a basket of food?
He looks around, confused. There's nobody there- seems he wasn't fast enough to catch the blonde curls- but after a moment, he picks up a muffin, stuffing it in his face. His antennae happily curl together.]
Ah... perhaps there are people who love TV after all! What a nice gift basket. ... Maybe I should make one for Noelle when she's found...
[That last bit is murmured to himself, mostly, as he takes the basket of food back inside.
Later, he'll be talking about an adoring anonymous fan who left him the most lovely gift basket full of food! Soon, the whole town knows about it- and doubtlessly, the message has made its way back to the original gifter.]
