[John seems somehow distracted when he turns on the video today. He's sitting at the kitchen table in his house, chin propped in his hand and eyes on a Pokéball he's rolling idly on the table in front of him.]

You ever wonder what it is that determines what happens to a Pokémon after its trainer goes back home? I mean, I've thought about it before but never really thought about it if that makes any sense? This is really the first time I've inherited one that wasn't from a friend so it just got me thinking.

Granted, it originally belonged to someone who was... [He pauses, seeming almost hesitant to finish that sentence. Or perhaps unsure of how he wants to end it.] ...a friend. At...one point in time... [He trails off, brow furrowing as he stops rolling the ball around.] So maybe it has less to do with Eridan and more to do with her.

[He leans his chair back on two legs, picking the ball up and passing it back and forth between his hands, finally looking at the camera.]

So yeah. Anybody have any good conspiracy theories on the matter? I'm curious.

[A+, Kirigiri.]

yeah.
tentacles are kind of her thing.
she's pretty much all about the eldritch horrors and the zoologically dubious.
i am pretty sure she had a field day when she found out they were real in our world.

I see. As an area of study, then.

[Kirigiri...]

i'm going to say "yes" and think no further on the implications of that.

[Surely, if he believes hard enough, that will make this statement all the more true. He tries not to think about the fact that her interest in tentacles most definitely extends beyond academic interest.]

[lalalalala not listening.]

As opposed to personal romantic interest.

There are plenty of Pokemon for her to study with those criteria, as far as I know.

...

yes, see this is why i said i was thinking no further on the implications of that.
because i knew exactly what you were thinking and i don't want to think about that, especially since she HAS most of those pokemon.

[THANK YOU KIRIGIRI FOR THE MENTAL IMAGES HE DIDN'T WANT.]

I wasn't suggesting what you're evidently thinking.

[KIRIGIRI WILL YOU JUST STOP ALREADY FOR GOD'S SAKE]

can we please change the subject.
to literally anything else that isn't...this.

I suppose we could talk about Dave, instead.

I see he's been following this conversation.

yeah, he does that, sorry.
dave is the nosiest, most gossipy schoolgirl you will ever meet, true facts.
what about him?

Nothing in particular. It was just a hypothetical change of topic.

haha, ok then.
well i am not sure what else to tell you about him.
except for don't fall for his cool guy act, he's actually a super lame dork. but i can tell you're a pretty smart cookie so you probably figured that out on your own by now.

oh, back on what we were talking about originally though.
does that happen to you a lot then?
this place doing things that makes it seem like it knows too much?

It's fine. I've met a fair number of people who like to put on airs like that before.

...

It's happened more than I'm particularly comfortable with. Sometimes it's only small things, but others it's particularly significant.

weird.
i wonder why it happens to you so much. is this why you did that survey a couple months back?

oh wait! wait!
i just remembered! there was one thing that happened that was a case of something here knowing more than it should that actually WAS kind of creepy.
i forget about this one a lot because it's kind of...backwards. which is the part that actually makes it creepy.
back in june, something happened to me here that i just thought was really annoying at the time.
then about a month later i fell into a memory coma and found out that nearly the exact same thing happened to me back home as well.

so...basically this place knew something about me that even *I* didn't know about at the time.

[John...how could you forget about something like this? TWICE even? Because he probably should have included this in Kirigiri's survey...]

[WELL HELLO, PINGED.]

So it predicted something that was going to happen to you, but that by your perception hadn't yet.

...

That is unsettling.

And what was wrong with this subject?

what subject i have no idea what you're talking about, rose.

I don't know.
I would have continued letting him assume you were.
It's really amusing.

Amusing, but not particularly conducive to conversation.

of course she did
she sacrificed a goat and danced around in her pentagram
there was a little soft shoe shuffle involved too

called it.
did you get pics?

oh yeah let me go get my desktop that i dont currently have
course i did
naturally she is reading this and going to tell you that she didnt or elaborate on it
bet is on the later

of course she's reading this.
or she will be at some point in the future because she surely must know by now that we're talking about her.
5...
4...

also screw you im not nosy you were just making the trauma face
i know the trauma face john
i had to investigate the cause

i was not making the trauma face!
what even is the trauma face, anyway!?

[And why is he texting you this when you're probably sitting only a few feet away in the same damn room?]

Boys, please.
That had nothing to do with the horrorterrors.
