Six: Dictated

[punk_cute]

[Kanji's voice sounds worried and sad when it comes over the journals, along with the sounds of something else.]

Couple things. I can't find Eridan anywhere. Anybody seen him? I'm hoping he just lost his journal or something.

[There's a highpitched "Tiktiktik" that interrupts him.]

And two, I guess. These things what I think they are? I mean, the little guy looks it but you never know.

((ooc: I'll be slower than molasses because technically still on hiatus, but I wanted to get this up while it was still relevant.))

Uh-oh. He hasn't gone home, has he?

[punk_cute]

I'm worried that's what's happened, but I'm kinda hoping he's just sulking somewhere or something.

[He sounds like he has little hope however.]

[psych0p0mps]

I guess there's no way to know for sure until we're back at the castle...

[punk_cute]

That's the problem.

[There's a heavy sigh and a muttered word that might be "dammit" over the journal.]

[psych0p0mps]

You guys are friends, right?

[payback]

I haven't heard him since he was last grumping about something or other...

Anyway, they're Pokémon!

[punk_cute]

Yeah. Me either, so it's got me all worried.

[payback]

You talk to him a lot or something?

[punk_cute]

Yeah, all the time. We're friends.

[payback]

Ah my, I can't say he seemed like the kind to collect too many of those.

I'd say to check his door... he has been quiet for a bit, even if it's not that long. But obviously that's impossible right now.

[stalkershiki]

Eridan? Isn't he the guy who tried to tell me that E... that Equius never really loved me after he left?

[punk_cute]

Uh? ... Probably. He was a real prick about any of the other trolls. Sounds like the shit he'd spout that he didn't really mean.

[stalkershiki]

Oh. So he's gone now?

[punk_cute]

I'm really hopin' not, but it's startin' to look like it.

[stalkershiki]

Well... if he was your friend, I'm... I'm sorry you're hurting that it's looking like he's gone.

[incantati]

[ dictated ]

That would depend on what you think they are.

[punk_cute]

There's something at home, a game I used to play, that's almost exactly like this. Different names and the monsters looked all different but... It's really similar.

[incantati]

Hmm. It has been noted that there are certain similarities between fiction and reality in some worlds...

[punk_cute]

I wouldn't be surprised! It's kinda cool. I always liked collecting all the cute ones.

[He chuckles] And this little guy is real cute.

lmao oops

[incantati]

What is he called?

[adorbs]

Um, I think they're called Pokemon!

[punk_cute]

You ever play the game, Nanako-chan? The names and things were different, but it was almost exactly like this!

Which one did you get?

[adorbs]

Uh uh, but there were boys in my glass who played it! Sometimes they'd show me the monsters they'd catch.

[hmmm] She looks like a little plant, but I'm not sure what her real name is... So I call her Lili!

[punk_cute]

I remember playing it. It was fun and there were lots of really cute ones!

That's a great name! I got a yellow one that's really really tiny and he's just clinging to my arm right now. He's super cute.

[adorbs]

[a-aw.....]

Can I see him sometime?
