五 [what is text/action for Cherrygrove]

[usedfuryswipes]

[Hey, Johto! Ken's outside enjoying the sun and half-decent temperatures after the surprise misery that was yesterday, letting his Pokemon run around, the usual. He's tired of being inside, man. :c There's a couple new additions to the Pokemon either running or sitting around him--a Skorupi that keeps eying Ken sidelong as if the man's gonna up and

If everyone else is ready to travel to Violet City, I am, too.

Looks like for now the 'yea's have it.

I haven't heard from Naoe. He probably wouldn't respond to me anyway.

[Unspoken here is: do you think he'd rather split off and go with Tot?]

[Text]

[deadfreesia]

I understand.

I'm uncertain of Nagi-kun's plans. I'll consult with him and get back to you.

[Text]

[gentiana_clusii]

Right-o.

Soon as I know how many are in our group for sure, I'll start getting supplies. It's a week walk. We'll need a lot of food. And probably something to purify water...

[Team Mom mode is go.]

[deadfreesia]

[And it's strange and funny for him to see this. He remembers once upon a time when this probably would have been his job.]

I'm grateful for your attentiveness. I'll leave the supplies to you, then.

Has anyone else not yet responded?

[gentiana_clusii]

Aya-chan. I figure she'll be along if Ran is, and Ran'll be along if she is. Otherwise, I think I've heard from everyone else.

...what about Tot?

[Well, someone had to ask.]

[Text]

[deadfreesia]

You're probably right.

She will stay with Nagi-kun, I'm sure. I suspect Nagi-kun will choose the same with her.

[And he has a fairly good idea already what this will mean for their group, but he isn't going to say anything more over text. Not even under a filter.]

Re: [Text]

[gentiana_clusii]

Well, we'll worry about that later.

We've got what, two tents? Think I should pick up another one?

[Ken's is big, but it'd be nice to keep their supplies in it.]

[Text to Video]

[deadfreesia]

That would be useful.

[And this is where Mamoru gives up on texting and calls because it's more efficient.]

Ne, Ken-kun... What if someone else we know arrives?

[Video]

[gentiana_clusii]

I guess either we hunker down and wait in the nearest town, or someone goes back to get them. We can't all pick up and head back here if someone shows up...we'll never get anywhere that way.

I mean, we have no way of knowing who's coming next or when.

[Video]

[deadfreesia]

Yeah... That's true.

But it seems possible-- if people can come from the past, like Youji-kun... Someone might arrive from before the time of death. Don't you think?

[Video]

[gentiana_clusii]

Yeah...probably.

[Ken doesn't really seem comforted by that idea. He doubts anyone he'd cared about--well, cared about and wasn't a target--would come here. With his luck...]

[Video]

[deadfreesia]

[Not all that comforting to Mamoru either. He looks sadly at Ken.]

Ken-kun. If someone else from my family shows up...

[Video]

[gentiana_clusii]

...then we'll worry about it then.

[That is completely and totally Not A Good Thought. Ken does not like that thought and wishes it to go die in a fire.]

[Video]

[deadfreesia]

...Yeah.

[They'll have to.]

[Video]

[gentiana_clusii]

[Enough of that crap.]

So what kind of egg did you get?
