Eighth Punch

[craftingrebel]

[Boy this seems awfully familiar! However, this time Maoh isn't exactly planning on using Kanji's gear as a pool floaty. Thank goodness somebody learned his lesson! But anyways-- as per usual, Maoh accidentally hit one of the buttons that records things. He stops with what he was doing and leans in to the screen. However, he's no longer the cute and adorable Pichu he used to be when Kanji first got him. Some time after recovering from his pool adventure he and Kanji had a little heart-to-heart conversation that ended up with him evolving into a Pikachu towards the end.

Anyways--!!! Once finished pressing all the buttons he wanted to press he wanders on over to Kanji, who is currently sitting with a lap full of fluffy yarn on the floor in his room. Maoh pays him no mind since he's busy making things.

Next to him is that Meowth egg he bought from Kyou a while ago. (And even though it should have hatched a while ago-- Iiii kind of forgot he bought one. oops orz;;) The egg has a tiny little yarn hat on the top of it's....shell???!!! Curiously, Maoh approaches it and touches it lightly.]

Chuuu?

Hey, be careful with that Maoh. It cou--

[And at that time the egg lights up (aka dis egg be hatchinnn bitchessss!!!) Kanji and Maoh give each other a weird wide-eyed look before turning their attention back to the hatching egg.]

What.... what did you do?

....Wh-what?

[craftingrebel]

Nothin'...

action;

[skillspanner]

Do you not wanna go or something?

action;

[craftingrebel]

No, it's just weird seeing you so pumped about something like this.

action;

[skillspanner]

[It's just one of those reminders of how much he misses the city.] I guess I just want my friends to see what it's like, you know?

action;

[craftingrebel]

Yeah, I guess. It makes sense, anyways.

action;

[skillspanner]

You've never been, right?

action;

[craftingrebel]

[he shakes his head.] I order out for fabric I can't find in Inaba. Ma won't let me go off on my own to the city yet.

action;

[skillspanner]

Oh, uh... [Thinking!] You think she'll let you go if it's with someone who knows their way around?

action;

[craftingrebel]

Huh? Yeah, of course. She just doesn't want me going there alone. She's afraid somethin' bad'll happen, and junk.

action;

[skillspanner]

Haha, that's moms for ya, isn't it? [He grins the widest grin he can.] We definitely gotta make it happen then. I'm telling you, it'll be awesome.

action;

[craftingrebel]

Yeah, I guess. [idea!!] Hey, why don't we get the others to come along too? It'd be fun.

action;

[skillspanner]

[Grinning.] Dude, that idea's actually awesome. I mean... by that time, Souji and Rise will probably be back in the city too. Maybe she could get a day off and it'll just be a big reunion or something.

We'll just have to make sure nobody leaves Ted unattended...

[Pauses, laughing a little awkwardly.] Man, talk about a weird thing to say when we're all together, already, huh?

action;

[craftingrebel]

Che, that's an every day experience with Teddie. And yeah-- it kinda does sound a little weird. [he pauses.] Do you think we'll remember our time here in Johto if we ever go back to Inaba?

action;

[skillspanner]

[He pauses, quiet and slightly melancholic.] Man, I hope so. Some messed up stuff's happened, but there's definitely things I don't wanna forget about this place.

action;

[craftingrebel]

Yeah, I know what you mean...

action;

[skillspanner]

It's kind of weird, isn't it?

action;

[craftingrebel]

[he nods.] Yeah.

action;

[skillspanner]

I didn't think I'd care much at first, but I guess I kind of like it here...

action;

[craftingrebel]

Yeah, same here. You meet a lot of interesting people here, and I don't wanna think about forgetting them, if that's even the case, when I go back to Inaba.

action;

[skillspanner]

It'd be weird. I mean, it's not like we'd ever forget each other, but everyone else? Like... all these people from others worlds, or even the people from ours that we never met...

[A small sigh.] I think it would even be weird trying to go back to the way things were between all of us.

action;

[craftingrebel]

Yeah, I know what you mean. There are some people I wouldn't mind forgetting about-- but a good chunk of these people are really nice, yanno? They don't judge as much as the people do back home... 's nice.

And yeah, definitely. I guess I should apologize now for wanting to pound your head into the ground if any of us goes back soon.

action;

[skillspanner]

...Can you just not and like. Buy a punching bag or something?

action;

[craftingrebel]

Y'see, while that sounds logical now I wouldn't be thinking that way when I'm back in Inaba.

action;

[skillspanner]

Maybe if you really drill it into your brain, it'll stick...
