Video 4: Did he sign up for this camping trip? [Backdated to May 1]

[justanexpression]

[video meant for Shaun... but let's face it, Jack's hardly a tech wiz, anyone could see it]

[It's late, and Jack knows it, but he'd made a promise, and he was going to keep it. At least, as well as he could without letting Sho wander out of sight, anyway. He's just hoping Shaun is still awake to pick up.]

Hey, Shaun? I said I'd tell you before I left town, right? I'm kinda cutting it close, so I hope you get this soon.


[open video]

So... hey. Uh, yeah, so Bunny? Tooth? Or anyone who might be wondering. Hypothetically, right? Might be gone for a while.

Anyone know if there are maps for places off the Routes?


((OOC: follows the events of Sho's Fire Dance))

[He looks more amused than worried, but he's got Patch out of her ball and already on his shoulder, just in case.]

So far. The guy I'm with just has an interesting idea of following someone.

[colorsofthewind]

Are you lost somewhere? It's easy to get turned around sometimes.

[ video ]

[justanexpression]

We're heading that way.

I'm not used to figuring out where I'm going on the ground, and I don't think he's thinking about that yet.

Hopefully he listens to reason before it gets too hard to just turn around.

[Spoilers: He's not going to.]

[colorsofthewind]

If you need a hand, I can always fly over on my Pidgeot to see if I can find you.

[ video ]

[justanexpression]

I'll keep it in mind. Thanks.

Maybe we'll get lucky and stumble back on the Route and his friend will magically be waiting. What're my odds, do you think?

[ video ]

[colorsofthewind]

I don't really know this friend of yours, so I guess I couldn't really say. What do you think your odds are?

[ video ]

[justanexpression]

[If only Jack actually really knew him, either. Oops?]

Well, from the way he's going now, we'll either turn back by nightfall or end up halfway to Kanto before realizing we're going the wrong way. So fifty-fifty?

[ She frowns a little ] Those aren't exactly favorable odds.

Please keep in touch if you need help, Jack.

[justanexpression]

[He smiles, but the concern is appreciated. He doesn't have that many people to do it for him]

I will, Talim. I will. Don't worry.

[He holds up his hand, pinky out, like he did for Shaun.] Do I need to pinky-swear you, too?

[ video ]

[colorsofthewind]

Pinky-swear? I don't... ah, I don't know what that means.

[ video ]

[justanexpression]

[A sheepish laugh and he drops his hand.]

It's, uh. It's a kid thing, back where I'm from. You lock pinky fingers with someone when you promise something, and then you can't break it.

[ video ]

[colorsofthewind]

Oh, I see. [ she ponders this a moment before breaking into a smile ]

... Yes, you do need to pinky-swear.

[ video ]

[justanexpression]

[That, he can do, then. He holds his hand back up the screen, pinky finger out, and waits for her to copy the gesture.]

If anything happens, I'll let you know as soon as I can, so you can come rescue us.

[ video ]

[colorsofthewind]

[ She mirrors his gesture, smiling all the while ]

And I'll come to rescue you as quickly as I can.
