who has some happy news they would be willing to share?
seriously, anything i don't care how insignificant of a thing you think it is. it doesn't have to be something earth-shattering or life changing, the only requirement is that it's something happy.
i just want to hear that SOMEBODY out there is having a good day today.
because april 13th is rarely anything other than an overall disappointment for me, no matter what universe i'm in.
i am beginning to wonder if it's just some kind of unspoken rule.
hell, now that i think about it, it doesn't even have to be something that actually happened today.
i want to hear about anything in your life that has ever made you happy. the more recent the better, but it can be stuff from back home too.

there's only one more thing i wanted to ask about, and that is the other father.
he went back home earlier this week. the last time this happened i was...well i didn't deal with it as well as i should have, let's just leave it at that. i ignored some things that should have been obvious and should have been taken care of.
but i am a bit more prepared this time. or at the very least, it didn't hurt quite as much.
that being said, is anybody watching his house at the moment?
i have been giving it some thought the past couple of days and i am very seriously considering going back and continuing what he started. well, in a way.
because i am not the other father by any stretch of the imagination so it wouldn't be quite the same sort of deal but i do think having a somewhere for people to be able to call home when they otherwise don't have one is a good thing.
but i still have things i have to do over in kanto and i am not sure how long it will be before i can get back to goldenrod.
or if i would be stepping on any toes with this, i mean if somebody already has it covered then that's fine.
but if nobody does then hey? why not me?
that's what i figure, anyway.
so uh...basically, tl;dr: who's watching the other house right now and if the answer is nobody, would somebody mind occasionally just...popping over there for me once in a while?
to make sure it doesn't get demolished or something like that. i don't know how stuff like this works, i have never owned a house or anything like that before.
or if he even left it to anybody or anything like that. houses have deeds and shit, right? he built the place himself so that just makes this all the more confusing...
i guess what i am saying is: i call dibs if nobody else has already. to put it as simply and admittedly childishly as possible.

[John has become quite the fan of video chatting since coming here as well, but this is just one of those times where he can't quite bring himself to switch. He's miserable, and that's not a state that he really wants people to see him in.]

sorry, i meant to call you earlier and thank you for that. something came up though and it slipped my mind entirely though.
but i really like it, it's pretty much too cute to eat even though it looks delicious.
thanks, tenten. :) it really means a lot to me.
especially since i don't remember even mentioning that today was my birthday. :|a
...how DID you know that, now that i think about it?

[Well, it was worth a shot. Responding with video to his texts is too weird, so she switches over to text herself.]

Well, I am a ninja, don't forget. It's something that comes with the job. ;)

But I really mean it, it was a lot of fun to make. Confused Sasuke a lot, but most things that are fun do that.

I had a good day today.

and a good ninja never reveals her secrets? hehe.

it really looks like it would be! i am almost tempted to try and learn how to make them myself.
your friend is confused by fun? wow, how does he even survive?

i am really glad to hear that. which...probably comes off as a little weird but it just makes me happy to hear that.

Pretty much. ;)

It's just seaweed and rice and egg, mostly. Some wieners, some vegetables. Maybe someday I can show you myself!

[Maybe if she can make him laugh...]

And Sasuke just makes this face all the time. :| Or wait, maybe it's 8| or >| or (;¬_¬) Yeah, that last one.

I'd be happy if you're happy. I don't like it when people are down. Have you got someone to go out and do something with?

that would definitely be down for that. :D

pfffttt. all the time? doesn't he know his face will get stuck like that if he doesn't smile every once in a while?
someone really should warn him about that!

i will be fine, don't worry! if there's one thing i have learned here, it's that you can't stay down about people leaving.
it sucks, but it's just how things go here. and i know that jade wouldn't want me to stay torn up over her forever. but even so, it's still just a little hard right now.
she was the only one from back home left who had been here longer than me and now that she's not here it's just...weird. you kinda get used to having certain people ALWAYS being there after a while.
i have rose and dave with me now though. and that's not going to be changing any time soon.
in fact, we are going to build the world's biggest pillow fort here in a little bit.

[None of them are really feeling the "go out and do things" urge right now.]

:)

I'll make sure to warn him next time I see him! (I think his face already got stuck like that, though.)

[Ah... she wasn't going to ask, but if he wanted to tell her, that was okay, too.]

I'm sorry that she left. I didn't know her, but anyone awesome enough for you to consider a friend must have been pretty great, huh? So I'm sure she'll be back someday. It'd be the same for me and Sasuke, after all.

You guys have fun in your pillow fort, okay? Make it extra-sturdy to protect against invasion. :) And if for whatever reason you want to talk more, I've got my 'gear on, so don't worry about that.

oh noooo!! if only someone had warned him sooner!
because there is pretty much no undoing that it's like a face worse than death.
i mean fate. yeah i'm leaving that typo in there, it's too funny not to.

she was downright awesome. one of the nicest people you will ever meet, to be honest. i am sure it's only a matter of time before her bright green text shows up on the network though.
this world seems to have a thing for people from my universe and bringing them here multiple times. s lot of the time, they never stay gone for long.

will do. :) thanks again, tenten. for everything.

I'm going to tell him that now. It's your fault if he frowns even more after that, though, hahaha!

Well, when I see her, I'll be sure to say hello this time. I'm sure it won't be long. :)

You're welcome. Don't forget I'm here, and have a lot of fun in your pillow fort. Say hi to everyone! ;)

oh noooooooo you are going to ruin my first impression before i even have a chance to make one!!

i won't forget, i will have fun, and i will also say hi. i also hope that the rest of your day goes as well as it has up until this point. :)

[A few minutes' pause before the next text, then there's an image attachment included in the next message.]

I'll make sure it will ;) See you, John!

[Okay, that actually got a laugh out of him. And now he has a face to go with the name. Certainly nothing good will come of this.]

omg you're right. intense lineface!!!!

see you. :D
