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.

...Yeah, better than having both sides dead from spamming giant lasers at each other. ...There's also the fact that I got a girlfriend right after that, so that's a better news, isn't it?

giant...lasers?
what years is it in your world dude, holy shit.

that's definitely good news, yes. girlfriends are always good news. :D

...Far away enough from AD that we can open a movie with the line: "in a time, far far away..." and it'd still work. ...It's a bit of a long story, but yeah, nukes don't work, so they went with giant lasers.

wow.

so what's the future like? do you have giant robots and stuff?
and normal sized robots?
basically do you have robots at all?
flying cars?

...Why have normal-sized robots when you can have giant ones you can pilot to do cool things with? And they're called Mobile Suits, by the way.

idk because normal sized ones can be your friends and go places with you and stuff?

so you do have giant robots then? coooool.

...Well, at least this place has a Golurk for that. Yep, they're pretty swell when not being used to blast each other, at least.

golurks are so rad man just.
best ghostly automaton pal. people who don't have one are missing out.

yeah i would imagine they would be less amazing in that sense. so did you have one? were you a pilot?

...Well, I guess I'm counted as an ace within my ranks, and I do have a unique one assigned to me.

[Oh no it's getting to his head!!!!]

for serious?!
how come you have never once mentioned to me that you are a giant robot pilot??
seriously, how has that never come up?

tell me ALL about it.

...well, I can only chalk it up to timing, but- Let's start with the power source, and this'd be a bit of a doozy- Well, for one thing, mine's nuclear-powered, and considering it's the future, people had created things that would jam it, so that's why it's outfitted with another thing to cancel that out so the mini nuclear plant can keep running and not cause us to be killed from lack of power. with me so far?

[...he'd say all the official terms and big whiz but they're all mouthfuls of jibber jargons that'd fly by everyone's head unless they're from his world.]

[Yeah, this kid is not the science whiz of the family, you would just be wasting your breath with all the technical jargon. Maybe if Jade ever shows up, the two of you can jam about it. She gets this stuff.]

uh...i think so?
clarify: what do you mean by jam it? how do you jam a nuclear power source?

...Unless you're a nuclear scientist, that kind of thing will just fly over your head.

[He's not clear on that too, considering he's a soldier and not, you know, a scientist.]

ahaha, no that i am definitely not.
that was always more jade's thing than mine. the only science i really understand is computer science.

...Well, if you're interested in things like that, you'd probably only need physical conditioning to be considered a pilot.

really? that's all?
man i kind of wish my earth had survived long enough to develop stuff like this. that would be so cool.
well...not the war part but the flying giant robots part.

Well, you only need one scientist to actually make a major breakthrough before everybody else followed up on it— wait what happened to your earth

well...ok, yeah i guess that's true.
true of most things really. one person does something and then everybody else hops on the bandwagon.

meteormageddon happened.

...well, that's certainly a way for a world to go out in flames.

[he has no words for this.]

haha! pretty much, yeah!!
it went out with a real bang, so to speak.

wow that was kind of terrible, wasn't it?

preeeeeeetty sure that crossed the line and then another line before looping back to the start point.

hehehe.
i feel a little bad but i'm mostly okay with it?
all the people i care about survived and we supposedly have plans to fix it so...it's not like it was as terrible as it could have been!

...well, at least that's a sign things are going to go pleasantly when you return, isn't it?

pfffft!
i have no intention of going back.
and from everything i have heard "pleasant" is not how i would describe how things go in the future.
or how anyone would describe them. just because we have a plan doesn't mean that things are easy or go the way we want them to.
but i haven't actually experienced things myself so it's hard for me to accurately judge.

...Right.

[Hmm, what else— Considering he's p sure he just hit a sort of sensitive subject.]Looks like I kind of hit a sore subject, did I?
