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

[A shrug, since he's never that unlucky to piss off a herd of Psychic Pokémon.]

Ah!!! Okay hold on we're going to have to put this conversation on hold for a second! [He starts running towards the PC, calling back to Shinn over his shoulder as he runs. He doesn't even care what city he's in right now, he just wants this stupid glitch GONE.] Gotta try and withdraw this thing so I can rele--
[ZAP!]
[John was still a good foot away from the PC when he suddenly disappeared. He tried. An attempt was made, give this kid a gold star.]
text 2/2
sorry about that. if i had realized sooner we probably could have talked more after i got rid of that stupid thing.
fuck my luck.
talk to you later, ok?
text
alright. i'll show you something interesting later after you're done with it.
text
like what?
you can show me now if you want, i'm not actually busy. i've just gotten in the habit of typing "talk to you later" tonight every time I warp out in the middle of a conversation.
but rose and i have pretty much given up on actually finishing our dinner date.
all i can do is hope that i can get rid of that haunter quickly and salvage what little i can from the flaming wreckage of tonight.
and right now i am, once again, nowhere near a friggin' pokecenter.
see again: my fucking luck.

Well, to put it in a really short term, it's a big and heavy book about the giant robot I pilot.
Basically the technical manual the scientist always give to their pilots before the pilots wrecked it anyways.
text
how did you manage to find something like that here?
text
text
i don't remember anything like this ever happening here before, do you?
but hey, at least finding something is a good thing! so it's not just... nothing but inconvenient annoyances coming out of whatever this is.
text
text
idk, maybe it's just because i don't remember what happened during those blackouts but this just feels... different, somehow.
you know what i mean?
or am i just nuts for thinking that.
text
like glitches, if you ask me.
text
still worrisome either way though.

i've been in a game world before, it's really not so bad.
err... well the being in the game world part. let me tell you, this game is much nicer than the one i was in before.
so even if this world really is just a game, it doesn't mean that we ourselves aren't real.

we have our own thoughts and emotions and all that fun stuff.
totally real people, even if we are in a game world.

not to mention all cool, all the time.
