[ Although he might not be saying much, this guy is totally staring at Red and his apparently animated backpack. It's not like he's got anything better to do for the rest of lunch, anyways. ]
[Red doesn't notice, he has bigger things to worry about. he's dealing with such a fussy eater over here; every piece of food he offers is immediately spat out. should Squall look closer, he might notice a flash of yellow as whatever's sitting in Red's backpack shifts inside, watching its owner as he reaches over for his carton of milk.
out of the corner of his eye, he notices the other teen watching him. that's...kind of unsettling. good thing Red can be just as creepy with staring, too.]
[ He would be the perfect creeper if he actually wanted to be.
So, he's guessing the guy brought his pet to school. Probably a rule violation, but it's not like Squall was going to care about the rules of this place. He didn't even really care about them back home really. Instead, he'll slide the only part of his lunch he hasn't apparently eaten already over to Red. Just a bag of sunflower seeds. Maybe it'll like those? ]
[...wow, not what he was expecting at all. Red stares unblinking at the other boy, then looks back down at the pack with mute curiosity. for a minute, it almost looks like he isn't going to take it until he slowly slides his hand over to grab the bag.
they aren't berries, but they're close enough. he opens the plastic bag and pours a small amount into one hand, then raises it a few inches over the bag. whatever's inside of it shifts around for a bit before it pokes part of its face out, sniffing at Red's hand with its little black nose.]
"Piii~"
[it starts to eat out of Red's hand, greedily. as for the boy himself, he begins to smile.
You sound like you'd be pretty hard to forget. You don't seem like you're from Kanto.
[personal space is so overrated and it isn't like Red's good at recognizing when his is breached anyway; he's pretty good at intruding on others himself.
from atop the kitchen table, a furry yellow tail pokes out from between the flaps of his backpack, which is laying discarded on it.]
[naturally, he doesn't notice. too busy trying to keep this noisy little thing under control. the sunflower seeds Squall gave him only did the trick for so long. Red has a hunch he knows what Pikachu wants, but the problem is that he doesn't have any with him. it's a little hard to get Cheri Berries in Mayfield without literally risking an arm or a leg.
the boy wrinkles his nose. the thing from within the bag moves, and one lone but distinct yellow eat with a black tip pokes out from between the flaps. a moody little Pi pika... follows.]
[Hilda's eyes light up as soon as she sees the ear and hears the sound. They don't live naturally in Unova, but everyone knows that Pokemon. Getting to talk to other Pokemon trainers has been far rarer than she'd like, given how few people know them here.]
[that startles him. he looks over sharply and immediately flushes when he notices her. it's been months since he's had proper contact with the outside world; Mayfield, for better or worse, saw to it to change that. now that it's all been undone since his absence, he really has to get used to it again.
so he eases up; tries to relax. from what he can remember of his time before in the town, Trainers were not at all common. this is actually a pretty pleasant surprise.
Red nods once, slowly. and Pikachu, as if on cue, pokes his face out from the backpack, ears flattened. he looks up at Hilda, curiously.]
Hmm, I used to have an assigned daughter in this place who had some of those creatures as well. She's living somewhere else in the town now, though, and doesn't seem to remember her old stay.. Her name is Dawn, though.
Since April, huh... [Isn't that when the April fools nonsense was going on? The people who helped her back then both were apparently droned before she could thank them. Is he one of them? If so, she definitely owes him. If not... well, whatever, no big deal if she helps.]
...Well, everything that happened in April was a lie. Then in July, everyone was droned and Grady killed Samantha permanently, and then Zemekis killed him. In August, the Milkman took over Grady's job as officer and made us all drink his milk until someone replaced him. In September... zombies attacked... then in October, aliens attacked. But that was a practical joke. ♪
It sounds...really, really chaotic. [polite way of putting it.] Who's Zemekis? I don't remember him from last time. I thought that little girl was running the show.
Oh - The little girl is Zemekis. It's his true identity, like how Jane Smith was really Samantha Achewood. I think Lucas is the one who figured that out. ♪

he looks back up at Squall.]
Thank you.

Not even the slightest.
Who's your mum? I could list off some names but I'd be on with it for the next oh... a week at least.

definitely not a drone. is this the guy that was in those pictures? he looks kind of - eeeeh. and what's up with that accent?]
You don't look like my dad. [he says that in a matter-of-fact tone.] I don't think my mom knows you either.

Uhuhuhuh.
[ Saunters on up to Red, breaking any sort of a personal space bubble he may or may not have. ]
