[ Snake's in Goldenrod, since he arrived about last week and decided to hang around. He wanted to go to Ecruteak, but he figured he could at least relax for a while before making the trip to Violet again.

Sitting on a bench near a hot dog stand, Snake takes out his PokeGear. ]

[PRIVATE CALL TO OTACON]

Otacon, what can you tell me about Team Rocket?

[/]

[ Switching frequencies, he decides to make an update for the rest of his friends. ]

This is Snake. I'm in Goldenrod, I'm going to Violet either tomorrow or the day after... I haven't really decided yet. At any rate... Heather, are you interested in going to Ecruteak..?

And Claire, where are you now?

Better than nothing. We haven't even left Goldenrod.

So, its owner probably went back home.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

You're comfortable here. You never really were the type to enjoy trekking through the wilderness...

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Hn? [Looks at the Pokeball.] No, it's just Marlboro. [He, too, releases the Pokemon, and a Torkoal pops out, sitting at Snake's feet and looking large and warm as usual.]

[video]

[philanthrotaku.livejournal.com]

...Yeah, you're right. Still, I do want to see what else is past this city.

[Video]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's probably the case.

[Notes that cough.]

I stayed about three more days after our conversation... Then headed out.

[video]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

You're welcome to come with me if you want to.

! He's cute! [Gets on down to the ground.] Hi there, Marlboro, I'm Vanille! Let's be friends, okay? [She looks up at Snake] What kind of Pokemon is he?

[Use your Pokedex, children.]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

He's a tortoise. [ that is the best answer you're going to get. ]

[Marlboro looks at Vanille through squinty eyes and slowly moves back into his shell, startled by her FRIENDLINESS.]

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

Oh, one of those. [:| She smiles at Marlboro and laughs at how he goes into his shell, pulling her arms close to her body like she's going into one too.] Kfff kfff!

[CRIKEY, NOW THIS, IS A TORKOAL. IT'S A FIRE POKEMON. YOU'RE ALRIGH', YOU'RE ALRIGH' NOW I'M JUST GONNA GO UP TO THIS TORKOAL. /Vanille croc hunter]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

[Watches both of them with a blank stare. Marlboro eyes Vanille from within his haven before blowing out smoke from his nostrils.]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Yeah, actually, I mean... I was gonna go there after I finished up here.

But-- uh, I'm kinda... I'm kinda waiting for somebody to show up.

_{[Artemis had asked her to make sure his little brother showed up in Violet all right, and as irresponsible as Heather could often be, she was at least TRYING not to break her promises.]}

[Video]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Hnn...

Well, I'm not going to be there for another five days at most... So no hurry.

[video]

[philanthrotaku.livejournal.com]

I...th-think I'll stay with Liquid and my father for a little longer, if that's okay.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Okay... yeah, I would like to get to Ecruteak. This place is depressing.

_{[... Only to you, Heather. Most people don't assault others and then run away so that they get a bad reputation forever in Violet.]}

[Video]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Hn... I've been there so many times now I just want to find a new place...

[video]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

... [Takes out a cigarette.] All right. [It's taking a lot of willpower for him to not say "How much longer?"]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

I just don't like it.

_{[She'd come back here on business, and not much else.]}

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

Woah! I can't do that! [She sits back on her butt] Don't be scared, Marlboro, I won't hurt you! Where did you find a Pokemon like this, Snake?

[Video]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

... [Tilts his head a bit.] Bad memories, huh.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Marlboro hatched from an egg I got on Christmas. [Shrugs.] Apparently he lives in caves with lots of coal.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Yeah... you could say that.

_{[That's what happened when your brain tricked you into thinking that the whole city was transforming into that town before your very eyes.]}

[video]

[philanthrotaku.livejournal.com]

...how've you been? It feels like forever since I last talked to you.

[Liquid was mentioned = time for a subject change.]

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

A cave? How scaaary~ you must be pretty brave to live in a place like that! [Disregard trainers, talk to Pokemon. She laughs[ But not so much outside of home, huh?
