i am curious.
for the tournament next month, how are you picking your team?
not asking what you picked specifically, just the thought process behind it.
is it better to go with your strongest or your favorites?
or do you have a different game plan entirely?
it's a lot harder narrowing it down to just three than i thought it would be.
i know there's still plenty of time and i don't have to decide TODAY but the sooner the better, right?

uhh...what do you mean "for then"?
i'm not following what you are thanking me for here.
or how you could even be thanking me for anything other than this conversation because this is the first time we've ever spoken.
to my knowledge, anyway.

[Increasingly awkward.]

We spoke a little while back, though your typing was different. I assumed you were typing differently because the gears were acting strange and erasing trainer IDs. [Though now he's kind of suspicious..]

uhhh...we did?
are you sure it was me? because i always type like this.
well...okay, i pretended to be rose on the april fool's day before last but that was just to mess with some friends.
and that was longer ago than "a little while back," so i get the feeling that isn't what you are talking about.

[There's some tapping on the gear as he's digging out that conversation, though he's somewhat hesitating because the topic is REALLY AWKWARD.] I thought it was Rose but the person said they were her fiance.

[After a moment, the feed goes private before he's linking this.]

Are you sure this isn't you?

dude no!!!!!!!!
just no!!
that is not me.
who the hell even uses "manhood" to describe a dick!?
or "garden" for that matter?!
i saw the initial question but i swear to you on my nanna's ashes that i never responded to it.
i am pretty much positive that was actually rose you spoke to.

[God he wishes he was not using video now because his face is all sorts of a hilarious shade of red, his other hand half hiding his eyes.]

They seemed like easy to understand terms? [YEAH IT WAS PROBABLY ROSE. Damnit all.] At least my initial guess was spot on.

they're ridiculous!
yeah, it's rose. definitely.
aside from the fact that she's the only other one who even knows how i proposed to her, there is just nobody else who would use such purple prose-y terms for private parts.
looks like she got us both pretty good.

Yeah. [Even his ears are red.] I guess "it's nice to meet you" instead, now.

[John's glad he stuck to text. Because while this isn't as awkward for him as it is for Vanitas, it's still pretty awkward.]

yeah. likewise.
though i still don't actually know your name yet. unless you're vani?
because if i am reading the later comments right, you must be karkat's boyfriend.
amd now that i think about it, i did hear your voice in the background of one of his recordings once.
and karkat said he was traveling with sollux and vani.

Vanitas. Yeah, I am. [Snorting, at least the topic is shifting.] That must have been on the train, he wouldn't stop complaining. There wasn't anything else to do other than argue with Sollux though, it was boring as hell.

yeah, that was it.
it's a train though, when they aren't being hijacked they have the tendency to do that.
hence why i just start playing games on my gear half the time.
or reading.

[Well, that gives him an idea of how long John has been here.] I remember that; I wasn't on the train, but I knew a few who were.

There needs to be new games out for that. Last one I got had a plug in and was called Rolling Souls. You used a ball to pick up Pokemon and roll them into everything in the game, it was fun at least. [Ekans is alright, a good time killer. Tetris? He's good at, but it's boring.]

[Too damn long. Not that John is complaining. Just the opposite.]

it was terrible, but not going to lie it was also kind of exciting.
how many people can say they have been in a train heist, after all?
that actually sounds like fun, i will have to check that one out at some point.
i usually play asteroids or kanto trail, myself.

Not many, it's understandably somewhat exciting.
Heh, it's... really fun, actually. I never played games before coming here, but it kills a few hours when I can't train. Which one is Kanto trail? [He's seen it every now and then but never got around to clicking that button. Always seems like it'll take too long..]

exactly.
it's actually kind of lame, but it's based off of a game we had back home that was equally as lame.
but that's kind of what makes it fun.
basically you're an early settler of the kanto region.
hunt, gather, try not to die of ridiculous causes.

Hunt what? Pokemon aren't edible.

other, non-pokemon animals, of course!
i mean, we have burgers and whatnot here.
where do you think those come from?

I have to wonder where they are then. I've traveled a lot and I've never seen an animal that isn't a Pokemon.

i just don't question it.
that is one of the things on "john egbert's list of things not to question about pokeland."
