prank #37 | video
[When John clicks on the feed today, he's accompanied by not one, but two Lopunnies. The One of them (Casey, judging by the pink sweater) is half-cradling the other and stroking its head, occasionally making shhh'ing noises. A Shinx lays next to them, and in John's lap rests the head of the saddest looking shiny Gallade you'll ever see. John himself looks exhausted, though moreso in the emotional sense than the sense of needing to take a nap.]
[He stares at the screen blankly for a good minute before finally speaking, in a voice that sounds as dull and tired as he looks.]
Vriska Serket has gone back home. If any of her Pokemon found their way to you, please let me know. I want to make sure they're all accounted for. And if they did just...promise me that you will take good care of them.
[He falls silent again, looking as though there's more he wants to say. In the end, he can't figure out what to say and ends up tightening his grip on the (what appears to be) a piece of twine clenched in his right hand.]
That's all.
[Click.]

Anyway, yeah. It was pretty amazing. I kind of wonder if they were drawn out by the Pokemon love song or whatever it was.

[She's wishing she had the chance to meet both of these people who have been so important to Poppop's life.]
action
[He drops the cheery voice and goes back to his own.]
It seems kind of silly to explain it because it's literally exactly what it sounds like. He and his wife are every kid's set of Other parents. They exist to give all the love and attention a kid needs to grow if they so need it. Like, you know if you don't really have a mother or a father figure in the first place. Or if you just...needed them. For any reason at all.
[A small, somewhat sad smile crosses his face.]
He set up a house right here in Goldenrod where kids could come and go as they please if they so needed. It's still here, even though he's not.
action
[John looking like that gives Jane incentive to lean in and hug him tight again, one hand carefully petting his hair and just.. Poppop. Why so sad :(] If the house is being kept, we could all gather there for other birthdays and holidays too; and this place is fickle, so maybe he will return?
action
Mmm, eventually yeah. I'm not quite sure if I want to go back there just yet though. Not without him there. [It's just...weird.] But I get the feeling that's what he would have wanted us to do. He was always happiest when the house was full of kids. [A light laugh.]
I keep hoping he will show back up soon. I miss him a lot.
action
If anything, keep a list of all the achievements you've done. Then, when he ever does return, you can show him everything.
action
Maybe I should make it a goal to get the last four badges by the time he shows up. I need to kick my lazy ass into gear on that anyway.
action
That sounds like a good plan.
action
Thanks, Jane.
