(Kevin Flynn)

How's the expedition?

(Hesam)

Hey. How've you been?

[Alan's done a lot of thinking since Sam's departure from the Castle. He's had a lot of time to himself, especially after Flynn and his younger doppelganger went on the expedition together. The programmer has been spending a lot of time trying to perfect alterations to the Castle Evacuation plan and Code Blair now that he has so much free time. It's very quiet.

So he doesn't expect a jolt of static from a Shinx who somehow made its way out of its Pokeball.

It does, however, help to get him out of his funk - at least for today. He leaves his room for something other than food and heads outside, settling on a bench near a tree that his Shinx immediately begins to attempt to climb.]

Soon it will be fall again. Huh. [Time certainly passed quickly - so much had happened!]

What are the odds of another sea of leaves?

[petites]

You have seen a sea made out of leaves?

[ she is so smart ]

How curious..

dictated;

[downright]

One thing I'm glad about is that we're experiencing normal weather here at least.

Or well, I am. [ In case you're not from good old Earth. ] Did you have a good summer?

[ino]

This place does tend to take the weather to the extreme.

[nyuspecies]

[ Nyu has been exploring more each day. She has been hoping to find Kouta. She is entranced by the Shinx, she runs over and holds her hand out. ]

Nyu?

Dictated

[is0latedthinker]

The Castle decided to kick us all out for a few days last year, and the leaves just kept coming. The piles were several feet high.

Dictated

[is0latedthinker]

For the time being, at least.

[It's funny - he hasn't been asked that question in ages.] It's...had its ups and downs.

Dictated

[is0latedthinker]

Unless the Castle changes again, I think we'll at least be inside this time. But I can't predict anything.

[is0latedthinker]

[Shinx tilts his head at Nyu, not sure what to think.]

Shiiiinx!

[Alan is even more confused than his Pokemon.]

Dictated

[downright]

Well, I think it's been a pretty eventful summer what with the camp, the cruise, and all the castle shenanigans. [ Not to mention him being turned into a Ken doll for a whole month. That still creeps him out. ]

I don't think we've ever spoken before.

I'm Chase.

[wheatdos]

Aha... As long as the castle doesn't make us clean up that sea, I'll-I'll be able to manage.

[He chuckles.]

[nyuspecies]

[ She stretches out to try and pet the Shinx. ]

Hello!

Alan

[antichauffeur]

Not all that good.

Going cold turkey on the drink has been...hard.

[ino]

Well, the castle usually doesn't do anything twice. So here's hoping?

Dictated

[is0latedthinker]

Yeah. [And departures.] It's pretty good at changing things up without notice.

Alan. Nice to meet you.

[is0latedthinker]

Yeah. But it begs the question of what it'll do this time.

Hesam

[is0latedthinker]

Want some company? I could use some myself.

[is0latedthinker]

It usually clears up on its own, not like last spring. But it's definitely an inconvenience.

[is0latedthinker]

[Shinx moves forward to nuzzle into Nyu's hand hesitantly.] Shii?

[wheatdos]

I'll trust you on that one then, mate.
S-say, how long have you been here?

[ino]

Well, fall is usually pretty boring, weather-wise, right? It's not like there could be a blizzard or anything like with winter.

Alan

[antichauffeur]

I'd uh--yeah, that'd be good.

My place is a mess - got anywhere in mind?

[is0latedthinker]

Could get pretty windy. 'Blustery days,' aren't they?

[is0latedthinker]

Just about 16 months.

Hesam

[is0latedthinker]

I'm out in the courtyard. How's that sound?

[wheatdos]

Ah. Y-You've seen more than I thought then, mate.
