So did anybody know that it's possible for Pokémon to be deaf?
[While John looks more or less fine, when he speaks there's a definite sort of half-squeaky grogginess to his voice that suggests he's only just recently gotten it back. Someone was pretty damn sick over New Year's (on his deathbed, one would think, the way he carried on) and has only just recently gotten over it. But at least his nose finally stopped running and he's done coughing. His lost voice just has yet to find its way back to him entirely.]
[He's sitting on the floor of his living room, leaning back against the couch. He's not looking at the camera, though. Instead, he's smiling somewhat fondly at a cheerful-looking Gothita playing with a squiddle doll a few feet away from him. She's chewing on one of the tentacles, giggling a little with her back to John.]
I feel like it really shouldn't be so surprising. I just never really stopped to think about it being a Thing That Could Happen, you know? [He turns his attention to the camera, finally.]
Anyway, so how was everyone's New Year? I missed ringing it in, myself.
[Time to play catch-up since he's been out of the loop for like a week now and fuck checking all the network backlog.]

How did it go with Surge? Did you kick his ass? And I...might have made some resolutions. Maybe. Possibly.
[We just don't know for sure.]
[video]
Buuuut, after reaching out of view she pulls up a THUNDER BADGE!]
'Course I did, and I moved onto Erika--[Look out, it's a magic trick (not really) she moves aside the Thunder Badge with her thumb and reveals the Rainbow Badge beneath it.] I didn't make any actual resolutions, though I made up one for Rose to cheer her up.

[Ur smart, Maka. Accept it.]
Well then double congrats! Though...does that mean you don't intend to stick to it?
[Maka you have to stick to it, whatever it is. You promised Rose.]
[video]
Don't intend to? I told her I'd let my hair down more, but it was a lame joke. Maybe I will, I'm getting older and should have a more mature look, I think.
[video]
Mundane is a dumb.] Haha, never mind, I gotcha now. My bad. That's a good joke though!maybe you should try letting your hair down more. Figuratively, I mean. [You dang bookworm.] Not that it would look bad physically either, I think.
[video]
[Maka make up your MIND.]
She seemed really down, so...I guess I could do it just this year for her.
[Maka is an enigma unto herself.]
What do you mean? You think I don't know how to have fun?
[video]
[He probably could have thought that out a little better before opening his mouth.]
No! No, that's not what I'm saying at all! Just because your idea of fun isn't the stereotypical definition doesn't mean it's bad! Just that sometimes you could probably do to be a bit more...relaxed, I guess?
