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.]

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

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

...oh.]

I....have his Audino. Grace.

[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.]

[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?

[ 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. ]

[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?

So, people really do get sent home at random.

How long was he here?

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.

[ ...oh. :c ]

I've found a Togekiss named Angel.

[...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.]

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.
