Fifth Punch

[craftingrebel]

[A soft clunking noise is made as Kanji sets his gear down on the floor. Maoh curiously pokes his head up at the noise and makes his way over to the gear. After poking some buttons he switches it over from audio to video and beings to play with it.

Despite the Pichu close-ups you can see Kanji moping sitting in the background. Blinking, Maoh ditches the gear and makes his way over to his owner.

Sighing, Kanji reaches for his make-shift locket out of habit and opens it. He used to do this a lot back home whenever he had a particularly rough day, and today--well today was a good time to break out the cute pictures of baby kittens. Moving his wrist in small swervey motions he opened his mouth.]

Mew, mew. Mew, mew.

[Frowning at the noise his owner was making, Maoh gently pawed at Kanji's leg.]

Huh--? Oh... h-hey Maoh. Don't worry about me. I'm just a little.... [Kanji paused momentarily as he closed his locket.] N-Naoto went home. I can't find her name on the gear or anything. So I'm just--tryin' to make myself feel better about her goin' home.

[....] What?

You're meowin' and stuff! That's the noise that cats make!

[Kanji lifts a brow at his gear before seeing the blinky light-- oh my god. OH MY GOD IT WAS RECORDING.]

[Voice]

[craftingrebel]

_{[Mac decides to just not question it. From the sound of it, the guy just lost a friend to Johto's surprise disappearing act.]}

...A friend o' yours left, huh? That sucks, man.

_{[...Mac's not an eloquent guy.]}

[craftingrebel]

[Y E P. He does this to make himself feel better, no joke. Kanji glances to the side. Boy this is a bit awkward... He is, however really happy that Mac's not questioning it!!!]

Yeah... It's probably better that she's home and junk--but still it sucks that she's gone.

[video]

[usedstarpunch.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Especially since it just kinda...happens.

When people leave, I bet they're happy to be home, y'know? Like, they got important stuff to do.

[ Rise's sitting there with a Xatu in the background, tilting his head back and forth to keep his cap on his head. She's just... tilting her head with a look that's both concerned and... somewhat weirded out. ]

I guess there are weirder ways to cheer yourself up.

How do you make your voice that squeaky, Kanji? I can do it, but doesn't that hurt your throat?

[action] sob, how did the night get away from me. placeholder~

[Chie peeks into the room, concern plain on her face. She'd found two new Pokémon in her PC earlier, but it wasn't until her gear showed her who their original trainer had been that she understood. She knows Naoto and Kanji had had... something going on, though his leaving and coming back might have changed that. But either way, he's probably taking it worse than she is.

She knocks on the doorjam tentatively.] Kanji-kun? How you doing?

[action] it's all coo'!!!

[craftingrebel]

[Kanji's looking down at the floor and has his head in his hands. Despite him leaving and coming back, he's still got feelings for her and he's pretty down that he never got to (re)tell her.]

I'm just great.

[action]

[herolegs]

[Wince. She slowly walks over to take a seat next to him.]

... Hey, don't let it get you down too bad, okay? She might come back before long! You and me both did, right? And heck, I think Yosuke's been gone and back three or four times.

[Have an unfamiliar, overly pink girl on your gear, Kanji. Also, this post is so cute I melted.]

Hey, um, I know you don't know me, but-- Are you okay? Is someone missing?

[video]

[craftingrebel]

[oh my god it's a Rise clone except in pink. and aww y-yaaay! Kanji averts his eyes as he looks at something off screen.]

One of my friends went home.

[video] srsly, though, I love your Kanji <3

[pokemondolly.livejournal.com]

[Midori gasps a little.]

But-- I thought we couldn't go home!

[crossinggenders.livejournal.com]

Kanji-san... Are you going to be alright?

[Video]

[craftingrebel]

[A faint blush dabs across Kanji's cheeks. WELP this is embarrassing, but not the worst thing that could have happened. He sighs and looks to the side.]

Yeah...

[crossinggenders.livejournal.com]

Mm... Don't worry. She can still come back. There's always a good chance.
