[ 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?

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?

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

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

[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?

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

[Marlboro slowly moves his head out of his shell somewhat to tilt his head a bit at what she's saying.]

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

That's okay [She leans in to whisper] I'm not very brave when I'm away from home either. Being in a different place is more scary than home...Even if home is a dark spooky cave.

[Nope, not talking from experience at all.]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

[ Marlboro tilts his head again, then looks at Snake. ]


... Marlboro's never lived in a cave himself... That's just what the Pokedex said about his species. He's been with me ever since he hatched.

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

Sn-Snake! It's not polite to listen in on people's conversations you know! [AKA stop listening to mun'sher fail] If you wanted to talk to me you could have just said so~ [She spins around on her heels and rests her fingertips on the edge of the bench seat] So what do you want to talk about?

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

... Right.

[Shrugs.] Well... How are you, I guess?

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

[She hesitates going back to her lying. But she does anyway.] I'm good! It's been pretty nice out lately so I even went to the National Park.

What about you, Snake? [She inspects him. He LOOKS fine but...]You haven't...fallen or your Pokemon haven't gotten into lots of troubl, right?

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

.... I've been fine... Though... I just heard about the attack on the Radio Tower.

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

Did you see what happened? I...I wasn't really paying attention[AKA she was hiding in her room until she could figure out what was happening] Everyone's okay, right?

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Nno, I wasn't in Goldenrod at the time... I didn't even have my Gear on.

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

At least that means you were safe. It was scary! Suddenly all the radio stations changed and it was weird not hearing the music! I thought for sure something horrible would happen...

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

... Hnn... [Something horrible DID happen... To Otacon anyway.]

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

I guess we just got lucky then, huh? [Well Otacon is Otacon.]

hello eaten notif

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

I don't know if luck had anything to do with it.

Re: hello ebi I want to play a game /Jigsaw XD

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

You mean...It was fate? You don't look like the type to believe in that sort of thing, Snake.

FFF

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

... That's not what I was thinking.

Re: >:)

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

Really? Then...What were you thinking? That we had a lot of...super cool skills to dodge any danger?

Re: >:)

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

.... [Grumbles.]

Re: >:)

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

[She pouts-You're no fun, Snake! :C-and hops back up onto the bench, pulling her knees into her chest] I guess this place isn't as safe as I thought...But it's still safer than back home! Is your home like here, Snake? Or do you have to fight a lot too?

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

... War has consumed the world. The economy thrives on war. Fighting's... all I've ever really known.

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

[SUDDEN HUG] It's okay, Snake. You're here now and there's no fighting if you don't want! Back home...There was a big war there, too. It's no good, huh?

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

[Grunts a bit-- you're lucky he's a little more mindful of who he CQCs.]

... I guess.

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

[:'D Y-Yeah.]

It hurts people and...How do you ever know if you're on the right side? [She needs hugs so she'll just continue holding on for a little bit longer] Why do people fight for something when it's just going to hurt someone else? It's not fair!
