[Filtered from Bro Strider.]

[[Hello Johto. Have the curious looking Rose Lalonde on your video screens.]]

I have a question. Especially for those who have made it to Azalea and beyond.

When traveling, what has been your most valuable supply? Of course aside from the necessities such as food and water. But is there anything in particular I should possibly obtain for such a trip?

[Video filtered to Karkat]

I've recently spoken with Soul about a few things concerning our travel, and as you are the leader I felt it a good idea to go over the with you, and ask for your opinion on it as well.

It's concerning supplies to take, and letting you know of my general plans on how to go about this.

I wish to be ready to leave at a moment's notice, since that's what it seems will transpire.

[Voice filtered to John]

John, I have plans for you today. Call me when you are awake and able.

[[She just isn't going to reply to that. It takes her about ten minutes, but pretty sure there is a knock on the door to Dave's apartment.]]

[And...opening the door a crack and peering outside it.]

Oh...hi...

[He opens the door a little wider. Though he just stands in the doorway, neither making a move to exit the room nor to invite Rose in.]

[[She frowns at the lack of enthusiasm. Sure, it's late, but he doesn't seem tired...]]

...what's wrong?

Action;

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-03-18 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Nope, not tired. Just feeling a lot of stuff.]

Nothing! Everything's fine.

[You know that tone people get in their voice when they're trying to hide something? Yeah, that's how he sounds right now.]

...You are absolutely awful at lying.

[[Crossing her arms, she sighs.]]

Do you have Flighty Broad? You will need her on your team as well.

[His face falls a bit, he was trying so hard, too. He sighs.]

I really...don't want to talk about it. So can we just skip the psychoanalysis this time?

She's in the box. I'll have to switch her for...someone. [He looks over his shoulder at Casey, Selina, and Lestat. The two girls are playing some sort of adorable little pokégame while Mr. Superiority sits on the couch and gives them a disdainful look.]

[Oh god this was a tough decision. Look at those faces. Why is he only allowed to have six pokémon with him at once? Why?! It's just not fair!]

Action;

[identity profile] usedtherapy.livejournal.com 2011-03-19 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
...Yes, you will.

[[She's just going to lean against the wall by your door, waiting.]]

Collect your coat and things. You can likely think this over on the way to the Pokemon Center.

Action; this icon forever apparently...

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-03-19 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't look happy about this. Sighing again, he walks back into the room, grabbing his stuff and returning Selina and Lestat to their pokéballs. After closing and locking the door, he pulls on his coat and swings his bag over his shoulder. He then gives Rose a look that says "okay, I'm ready. Now what?"]

Action; >: Cheer up John

[[All of this just deepens her frown for a moment before she sighs. Taking him by the hand, she drags him down the hall.]]

You act as if I am about to put you through horrendous torture of some unworldly kind.

Action;

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-03-19 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Wheeee! Being dragged down the hallway! Meanwhile Casey is scampering after them, trying to keep up. Slow down mommy Rose! Your legs are too long!]

What? No. No, I'm fine. This is fine. Totally okay with this whole training thing.

Action;

[identity profile] usedtherapy.livejournal.com 2011-03-19 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
[[Pausing when she heard the familiar scampering, she glances back and waits for Casey. And, before John has a chance to, scoops her up to cuddle her a little.]]

If you say so.

[[Not dragging him now, but walking down the hall and expecting him to follow. Yes, she has kidnapped Casey.]]

Action; ...tooootally inappropriate icon, but it's the only "thinking" one i've got.

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-03-19 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Casey is more than okay with this! She is squeaking happily and wiggling in Rose's arms! This day just got ten times better!]

[John however, isn't saying anything as he follows Rose down the hallway. He seems to be giving something quite a lot of thought, though obviously he's not coming to any sudden realizations. How to word this...]

Action;

[identity profile] usedtherapy.livejournal.com 2011-03-20 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[[Holding onto the wriggling bunny, she smiles and tickles at her paws. Glancing back at John, however, pulls a sigh from her.]]

What ever is wrong? You say it's nothing, yet you're obviously mulling something over.

Action;

[Yay yay! You're the best! Cudddllleees for mommy Rose!]

What? Oh...no, yeah it's nothing. [He won't crack that easily, Rose. Nice try.]

Action;

[identity profile] usedtherapy.livejournal.com 2011-03-21 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
[[And absent-minded cuddles for Casey!]]

Why are you so lost in thought then?

Action;

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-03-21 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Nuzzle, nuzzle! <3]

I'm not lost, just...thinking!

[Whut?]

Action;

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-03-21 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, stuff. Possibly things.

Action;

[identity profile] usedtherapy.livejournal.com 2011-03-21 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
And what sorts of stuff and things could these possibly be?

Action;

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-03-21 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Just...stuff. And...things. [And avoiding eye contact now.]
