Five-hundred-and-one million, six-hundred-twenty-two thousand, seven-hundred-thirty-one...

[When the video feed flickers on, you get a nice view of the starry night sky stretching endlessly above. His voice filters through whimsically like something distant and far away.]There's Andromeda to the north, Libra... Vulpecula, and maybe Orion's to the

[ Niou's chillin' on a bench in the plaza at Goldenrod, his lap occupied by a peculiarly-coloured egg. A flame burns nearby, but offscreen. ]

I've got nothin' but happy dreams. Now, onto more important matters.

Are you a zombie?

[reimprovise]

[Ah. He blinks, amused.]

No, not really. But even if I were, your brains are safe, I think. Indigestion is a terrible thing.

[futariniousama]

You are too funny. I'm like dying over here.

But what do you mean, 'no, not really?' [ Suspicious Niou is suspicious. ]

[reimprovise]

I thought it was a fair assessment. After all, if I fall off this lamppost, who knows how I'll end up.

[futariniousama]

Fair suck. [ He relaxes a little. ]

Let's see that egg.

I didn't realize zombies were such a serious business.

[amiable. he raises his egg up a little, shifting it towards the general direction of the light] Reminds me a little bit of a chikorita's neck.

[futariniousama]

Dude, zombies are always serious business.

[ He examines the egg critically. ] I could see it, yeah. You think it's a Chikorita?

[reimprovise]

In what universe?

[Hm.] Could be. Maybe we should all get one -- tennis tournaments would never be the same again.

[futariniousama]

Every universe, dude.

[ He snorts. ] My Ditto can play tennis better than his Chikorita, just so you know. ... They are pretty cool when they evolve, though. Like longnecks.

[reimprovise]

And how many universes have you been to?

[Blinking! Amusement.] You know, getting Sugar to turn into a tennis racket is probably unfair. But you're right -- Gen looks very handsome, doesn't he?

video;

[futariniousama]

A few. [ Nonchalant. ]

I can't tell if you're tryin' to trick me into callin' my vice-captain 'handsome' or what. But I lost, anyway, even though I cheated.

[reimprovise]

You're right -- Harry Potter Land has to count for something.

But you know me, I'd do no such thing. [nonchalant] You know, now that I thin about it, I left a lot of my stuff back in Goldenrod.

[futariniousama]

Already vandalized it. [ He's perfectly grave, which is your first hint that this is a lie. ] I was gonna surprise you when you got back here.

video; that typo /)_(\ i'm so sorry

[reimprovise]

[He gets that feeling. A little. Not entirely sure, but--] And you spoiled the surprise already? How could you.

video; ffff, what*ever* ♥

[futariniousama]

Hey, you brought it up. You ruined the surprise for yourself. [ He sounds dismissive and a touch snippy, as if he might actually be upset that Fuji would do something like that. ]

[reimprovise]

And your only crime was honesty, isn't that right? [And he laughs.] Well, I am sorry for spoiling the surprise. Should I send something as a consolation prize?
