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.]

[There's a slightly awkward pause as John scratches the back of his head, mussing up his already messy hair.]
Erm...sorry, I guess? For bringing it up or...I dunno. I just feel like I should apologize in general for at least half, if not all of this conversation.

[She's not very graceful at accepting apologies, but she's gonna try.]
Don't worry about it.
I guess you couldn't have known any better.

[For whatever reason, this doesn't stop him from making them.]

You never know where somebody's from.
[She's just gonna shove the fact that he referenced HER HOMETOWN out of her mind and pretend it didn't happen in favor of thinking of other examples.]
I met Minnie Mouse here.
She built a house in Olivine. S'still there.
Swear to god.

[HE IS SLIGHTLY UPSET HE MISSED HER. HOW COOL WOULD THAT HAVE BEEN?]
[Video]
She was... pretty much exactly how you'd expect her to be.
[Kind to a fault and way too forgiving.]
