Chapter 66; Text

John's gone home.
John Egbert, I mean.

[You'll need to look at the trainer tag to figure out who this is today. There's no colorful text or snarky horseshit to identify Rose as instantaneously as there would be before. And maybe the reason why is obvious with those first two sentences.]

I've noticed a few of his Pokemon aren't here.
If they've ended up with you, will you please let me know?
They were as much his family as they were mine, so I'd like to know they're safe.
Maybe offer you child support, haha.

I got a Cherrim named Sia this morning.

I'm really sorry, Rose.

[Jimmy really isn't sure what to say. He really liked John.]

Thank you Jimmy but there's nothing to apologize for.
It was going to happen eventually.

Still
if there's anything I can do, at all...please let me know.

[....Oh. John is...

After Chihiro reads the text he quickly checks his PC and...

...oh.]

I....have his Audino. Grace.

She's in good hands then.
Thank you Chihiro.

I will take very good care of her, Rose-san. You're welcome.

[Oh boy, and already the tears are starting on the other side of the Gear, and he has to lift a hand to quickly stem them.]

Are...are you going to be okay?

[Oh.

Her stomach drops, there's an itching at her eyes that she can't quite identify. Why does it always feel like everything's over nowadays?

She can't cry. Maka has to be strong.]

I have Laila.

Rose, can I do anything? Not right now, but...when you're ready.

[Maka understands that Rose might want time alone right now.]

[She does and doesn't want to be alone. She wants company but she doesn't want anyone to see the mess she is right now.]<\small>

Take good care of Laila for him.
I know you will but...I don't know what else can be done for me right now.
Sorry.

Yeah.

[...]

When I'm by Ecruteak again, we can go shopping.

[She just doesn't know what to say, it'd be a total lie to say that it's going to be all right and maybe John will come back. Rose's relationship with him was different than a friend, you can't just tell someone that a person they love might come back and even if they forget you can start all over again. That's about the worst thing to say. Rose has been in this world for so long, Maka has no idea how many losses she's actually experienced.]

It'll be my treat.

[There's something she doesn't like about the lack of colored text attached to this particular correspondence, and maybe that's why Kirigiri insists on using it in her response; because to not have it just makes it feel even more as though something is missing, and wrong, and she's never liked that feeling at all.]

Then that's why...

One of them...was it a Castform named Cumulo?

Indeed.
I take it Cumulo has ended up in your capable hands?

[Sorry Kirigiri. She just isn't feeling the color today.]

[ Since Aradia and Roxy are still at her house, Rose likely already knows that Roxy has Lupa and Yo, but she still feels the need to respond. Roxy can't manage to type properly and sans pink very well (and typing "that windy blue jerkface mcdumbbutt" probably wouldn't help, but man how dare John leave poor, dear, sweet Rose this way how dare), so she uses audio instead. ]

I am going to buy all of the ice cream in this city. What's your favorite?

[ And then make Rose eat it to mope slash cope, apparently?? Then obviously when Rose passes out from sugar exhaustion, tie her to a tree so she can't vanish as well. ]

Rocky road.

[Sorry Roxy, but she can't bring herself to use anything besides text. She doesn't really want to see anyone but...she'll make anexception in this case.

Seeing Roxy, she thinks, might help.]

LATE AS ALL HECK I'M SO SORRY audio -> action!

[Ishimaru's text is perhaps strangely subdued, given the source, but...]

I've found a Blaziken named Akrthalagg that I believe to be one of his.

Is there anything I can do for you?

That is one of ours, yes.
Take good cate of him.
I think that's all I could really ask anyone to do for me right now.

So, people really do get sent home at random.

How long was he here?

Yes, they do.
Just about as randomly as they appear.
Nearly four years, now.

I've received his Mismagius, Garnet. I never met her before, so I don't know why it picked that one, but I guess I knew him well enough that it makes sense I'd get one.

[Partly thinking out loud there to distract herself from the fact that she's lost another friend.]

... I haven't met you before, but my name's Ilyasviel. Call me Ilya.

It's a pleasure, Ilya.
I hope I spelled that right.
My name is Rose.
I hope Garnet doesn't turn out to be a pain.
She's a bit stubborn and quite spoiled.

[ ...oh. :c ]

I've found a Togekiss named Angel.

I'm relieved so many of his Pokemon are going to such good people.
Thank you for letting me know.
Angel lives up to her name, so I'm sure she shouldn't give you any trouble.

[...Oh.

Shaun had been wondering why there was a Blastoise in his PC belonging to someone he'd never met before. The OT didn't sound even remotely familiar.

But hearing that John had gone home...

It felt like he was back on the sidewalk of that busy street.]

I got a Blastoise named Squirt. Is that one of them?

[Consolation will come in a minute once he figures out what to say.]

Yes, he used to be John's.

indy & lulu

[ She's either downstairs or in the guestroom she typically shares with Roxy whenever they come over. ...Though lbr there are enough rooms for them to have their own now, probably. ]

Wow... Hard to think that, knowing you guys have been here for, like. Ever.
