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.

[[Laughing, she kisses his cheek before sitting up, turning around to lean her back against John.]]

Honestly John.

[He lets go with a snicker and settles back into a comfortable spot between the arm of the couch and John.] You walked right into that one, don't even lie.
tentacletrainer: (I can't believe you just said that.)

You can't keep quiet forever John.

[His expression doesn't change but from the tone of Dave's voice he's clearly amused by this.] Do you really want to leave that burger sitting on a plate out in the open? All that grade A beef still sizzling, fresh off the grill.
