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.

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.

wait
what happened to your earth

true of most things really. one person does something and then everybody else hops on the bandwagon.
meteormageddon happened.

[he has no words for this.]
Re: text;
it went out with a real bang, so to speak.
wow that was kind of terrible, wasn't it?
text;
text;
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!

text;
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.

[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?
text;
like i said, i haven't experienced most of it for myself so it's honestly kind of hard to like really...acknowledge it? i don't think that's the best word for it.
like i don't think my friends are lying or anything like that! but without first hand experience, it's hard to really know how to feel about it.
so it's even harder to be offended by it.
basically, it's whatever. :)

...
Do you want me to continue, or...?
text;
i didn't mean for this to turn into a talk about my world.
yes, please continue. :)

In fact, there's a lot more different types of Mobile Suit created for different terrains. All in all, it's actually pretty cool if you're into those kind of things.
text;
sweet.
what other kinds of ones are there?
and what's NOT cool about giant robots?
[I'm sorry, but if you don't think this stuff is cool, you're wrong.]
text;
Well, there's one that's pretty much equipped with swords, and one that can shoot all kinds of beams in all directions.
[he's really serious about that.]
