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?

Date: 2013-07-03 09:38 pm (UTC)Even the various pokemon seem to perk up a bit at the promise of storytime.]
Yeah, I don't mind. Not sure where to start, though. It's one of the major mythic holidays where I'm from.
...Actually, it's a good thing Bunny's not here to hear me say that. I'd never live it down.

And it's because there's this big feud between Christmas and Easter, right? About which one is more important? Even calling Easter a major holiday would make Bunny think he won.

Date: 2013-07-06 05:40 am (UTC)[ That's what a Myth is, right? Most of those holidays and names don't mean anything to her, really. Nor does the feud.
Though as far as feuds go, it sounds pretty peaceable. ]
So you actually think Christmas is a bigger deal?

Date: 2013-07-06 09:40 pm (UTC)[He shrugs for the rest.] Well, yeah, Christmas is a lot bigger. Don't get me wrong, Easter can be fun, but no kid is gonna pick hunting eggs over getting presents.

Date: 2013-07-13 12:34 pm (UTC)[ Interesting. ]
...Haha, well, that's true enough. Though thinking about it, I expect hunting eggs might go over well at home. [ Because training applications. ]
