Chapter 35; Video

[tentacletrainer]

[[Good afternoon, Johto. Have you noticed how it has gotten a tad chillier as of late? I bet you have.

So has Rose, judging from the fact she's wearing her light jacket once more. Of course, the cold is not what she is here to discuss.

No, it's the rain she is interested about.]]

I have a few questions. I've done a little venturing of my own within the stores around Goldenrod - and naming said city might make these a bit of a shock - but I am having a bit of trouble finding a few things.

Tarps, being one of them. I would figure they would be in a weather-like aisle, would they not? I wouldn't know, I've never needed to shop for tarps. However, I feel they would likely be useful, as I'm sure it is going to begin raining soon. If Johto is anything like New York during the fall.

I'm also curious as to if there are any stores that sell Pokemon clothes. Not costumes, but clothes. I'm in the market for a raincoat or two. And while I can knit, it isn't as if yarn is waterproof.

Thank you.

[[Once that feed ends, another one is opened, this aimed to two people in particular: Dave and John.]]

Hello you two. I have a favor to ask of you both. Do you believe I could borrow you for the afternoon?

...Right. If you're sure.

I kind of think you're out of your thinkpan for thinking that about me. Just so you know.

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

I had a feeling that would be your opinion. But I'm rather content with such belief if it simply insinuates that I have good friends.

[p2iioniichacker.livejournal.com]

No, it only insinuates that you're crazy.

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

Hm, really?

[[She pauses, as if she's giving this some serious thought.]]

Oh well. You seem to have no issue with this, if you still wish to travel with me, so I have little issue with it either.

[p2iioniichacker.livejournal.com]

Well it's not like all my other friends aren't crazy. I never said it was an issue.

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

Usually people are sure to inform others that they're crazy if it is an active problem. Or one they should at least be concerned about.

[p2iioniichacker.livejournal.com]

I think you should be concerned about it but I don't have a problem with it. I just don't get it and I'm not really in a good mood to try and figure it out right now.

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

Well, thank you for the information then. I will be sure to look into it at the earliest point of convenience. I am also glad you have no qualms with it. For I fear it may be a chronic problem.

That aside.

Might I inquire as to what is the cause of your poor mood? If you'd rather not talk of it, that's perfectly fine, but I am of course curious as to what has companions of mine in poor spirits.

[p2iioniichacker.livejournal.com]

I don't think you even have to ask. It's just the universe showing off its absolute hatred of my happiness again.

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

I ask anyway, in case there is a chance it is something I could assist with. Or at least offer some comfort for. But if it's the universe causing the problem, then perhaps you could take mild consolation that the small part of said universe that I make up doesn't hold any disdain for your happiness?

[p2iioniichacker.livejournal.com]

Unless you have some way of making my best friend and my kismesis come back and make sure nobody else disappears, you can't really assist me with it. It's just the same shit as always.

...Thanks though. I guess.

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

...I'm not capable of that, no. I wish I could be. [[She's not even going to mention the fact that she's still here. Because as much as she likes to hope she won't go anywhere? She knows she has no control over that.

What will she do instead?]]

I can, however, offer to treat you to lunch if you'd be interested. It's really a lovely day outside, and would be wonderful weather for a picnic. Provided, of course, Watanuki has yet to feed you.

[p2iioniichacker.livejournal.com]

No, I haven't had anything yet. WN doesn't do everything for me.

That sounds a lot better than just sitting here feeling sorry for myself.

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

I know he doesn't, but he does seem to enjoy cooking. I can only assume he would be more than happy to make you lunch.

I had a feeling that would be your answer. Shall I make my way over now then?

[p2iioniichacker.livejournal.com]

He does make food a lot of the time, I just haven't really been eating much.

That would be good. You know where we are?

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

Not an unhealthy amount less, I would hope, and...actually, I suppose I don't. It wouldn't be much of a bother to request directions, would it?

[p2iioniichacker.livejournal.com]

Heh, no, I'm okay. You don't have to worry about me, Rose.

It's not a bother. If it was I wouldn't have asked if you knew. [and pretend there is a room number here for the hotel!]

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

Good.

I shall be there shortly then. It seems rather dreary outside, so perhaps you should wear something a little warmer than usual.

[p2iioniichacker.livejournal.com]

Oh, really? Okay. I'll see if I can find my raincoat or something, otherwise you get to help me find my things.
