prぁn◙ $43 | acti♂n FORWARD-DATED TO SATURDAY 6/8

[ghostytrainer]

[Hello everyone, what are you up to this fine summer evening? Out training perhaps? Playing with your Pokémon? Sitting down to a delicious dinner? Maybe doing a little shopping before all the stores close?]

[Well whatever you're doing, no matter how much you are minding your own business, you may soon find yourself with a +1.]



[Aren't glitches fun?]

[John has no idea what's going on, one minute he was in the middle of his anniversary dinner with Rose and the next, he's lord only knows where with whoever "you" happen to be. Not that "you" aren't good company, and all! But it's kind of rude to leave your significant other in the middle of a date. But the worst part?]

[It keeps happening.]

[Whatever is doing this isn't content to let him stay in one place for very long. He keeps disappearing and reappearing with a quiet "zap!" every few of minutes, sometimes appearing back at the restaurant and other times appearing someplace else entirely. Dammit, can't a guy just eat in peace? This is terrible.]

[Why on Earth did he box that weird Pokémon he caught last night... better yet, why did he catch it at all?!]

REUNITED AND IT FEELS SO

[soundmind]

[...........Weird.

Hey John, it's your other bookworm buddy, just chilling out reading a book to her Pokes.

She didn't...expect the +1 but--]

...John?

WOULD FEEL BETTER IF NOT STILL IN VIOLET

[ghostytrainer]

[...son of a bitch, he's still in Violet, isn't he?]

[Yes he is.]

[Dammit.]

[Oh but hey, it's somebody else he knows! This pretty much makes up for being inter-city teleported.]

Maka! Hi! [Instant frown-turned-upside-down.]

BUT FRIIIEEEENDSHIP

[soundmind]

Hey!

[Guess what.


Clearly it's "stand up and hug your friend" time because that's just how Maka is.]

I didn't know you were anywhere near Violet!

FRIENDSHIP HEALS ALL WOUNDS

[ghostytrainer]

[Excellent, hug time! John can do hug time, he rather enjoys huge time.]

Ahaha, funny story? I am not. Or I wasn't until a few minutes ago, at which point I was outside with Lilo and then now I am in here with you. Word of advice? If you see any weird Pokémon, don't catch them. And definitely don't box them.

Actually, it might be a good idea to avoid catching anything until whatever this is clears up...

[Don't be stupid like John, Maka.]

HE ENJOYS HUGE TIME EH

[soundmind]

It's too bad, I got a little something and I was actually preparing to hit the routes again.

[What's that she's pulling out? IT'S--

A SHINY NEW BADGE!]

Bolt positively flattened Falkner. I think she was going for a record in how fast she could get it finished.

HUG. HUG TIME. YOU KNOW I'M SENSITIVE ABOUT MY TYPOS /CRIES

[ghostytrainer]

Excellent! Congratulations to both of you. [If the little Emolga is around, she's totally getting a pat on the head. Good electric squirrel. Good.]

That is great to hear. Hopefully whatever this is will clear up soon though. That way you can expand your team. It's weird, it usually doesn't last this long...

shhhshhh, only huge hugs now

[soundmind]

[Best electric squirrel, thank u very much.]

You mean it's happened before?

sob.

[ghostytrainer]

Once, yes. Back in November. It only lasted for three days but it was the same sort of thing: people coming in at random, powers being returned, non-humans gaining their original forms... the whole shebang of craziness.

[Though he doesn't remember parts of it...]

Before that though, there were a few times where suddenly entire weekends just seemed to... vanish? Like... time passed but nobody could remember what they were doing and some people even wound up in a completely different place after the skip. Places it should have taken much longer than three days to reach.

sob.

[soundmind]

...This place just dropped a dress on my head, I haven't had anything weird happen to me besides that, though.

[ghostytrainer]

What, really? Just out of nowhere? Is it a nice dress at least?

[CLEARLY THE IMPORTANT THING HERE.]

[soundmind]

I...I guess it is. It might be a little too fancy, I don't know what I would use it for.

[And she digs what looks to be a strapless black dress with an INCREDIBLY ruffly bottom out of her backpack to show him before neatly folding it up and putting it back again.]

Came with gloves, too. It could have dropped something more practical but I guess that's not the way of this world.

[ghostytrainer]

Oh. Well it is really pretty! Maybe we will have another prom and you can wear it to that?

But yeah it might be a little too fancy for day-to-day wear. Especially here.

[John is becoming quite the dress expert here.]

[soundmind]

A prom?

[She looks almost like she's never heard of that.]

--Oh wait, you mean like...a party? We never had those at my school, there was only the commemorative functions for the school's anniversary. [And the last one ended in disaster, whooboy.]

Without Soul around, I'd feel a little awkward at a party...

[ghostytrainer]

Yeah, exactly! Like a big dance. It was actually a lot of fun. I was homeschooled so I never got the chance to do that sort of thing back home.

[He grins at her.]

Don't think I will let you get out of it if Clair throws another one though! You won't be awkward, I am sure you will have a great time, with or without Soul!
