Video 6: Show Me the Way to Go Home (Action for Azalea)

[justanexpression]

[Jack turns the feed on but doesn’t say anything right away, preoccupied with settling the pokemon he’s surrounded by this time. A Togepi sits in his lap, with a Meowth curled into a ball against his leg on one side, and a Buneary and Smeargle snuggled together on the other. All four of them look positively depressed and Jack, for once, doesn’t seem much better.

Spot the Swablu is on Jack’s shoulder as usual, doing her best to groom him all better and looking somewhat distressed herself that it’s not working.]

So... these guys showed up yesterday. I never actually got to meet them in person before, but the names are all right, and they seem to recognize me...

[The Meowth glances up when he pets her head but then returns to her ball.]

I guess this means they’re both really gone, now? That’s usually what it means when your friends’ pokemon suddenly show up in your computer, right?

[He runs a hand through his hair, accidentally undoing Spot’s work and making her whistle in frustration before pecking his fingers out of the way to start over. It gets him to smile, at least.]

Have you ever been surprised that you ended up missing someone you never thought you would?

I...haven't been here long enough for that.

[ And the people she's missed otherwise, she always knew she'd miss, if they left. Or died. ]

But I'm sorry about your friends.

A Buneary...!

[ Wait that's not the main point here, uh. SORRY FOR HIS SUDDEN ENTHUSIASM, he looks contrite immediately after. ]

That is, I mean...I'm sorry about your friends, ne!

[akito]

Ne, where are you right now?

I never thought I'd miss my pain in the ass vice-captain, but whaddaya know, now I'm wishing he'd show up with the rest of my teammates even if it meant he'd be on my case again.

[His friend in continuing lack of dignity seems down, so Niou doesn't mind offering a little bit more of honesty than he normally would. Especially when the Swablu really is continuing the lack of dignity thing. He grins at Jack in the feed and gives him a wave, and if the grin is a little more slanted toward ruefulness than it might otherwise be, well, it's not like it'll be that big a hit to Niou's reputation as being generally up to no good.]

Looks like you got the hat off, at least.

[handydecisions]

...Yeah, that's usually what it means.

Sorry about your friends, kid.

[He knows that feel, bro.]

[usedvicegrip]

...Dunno if I've known anyone long enough for that. Haven't been here that long, y'know?
