tensai | 003; video/action for violet city; it's getting cold out here;

[here's marui at the violet inn lobby, seated comfortably on a couch. his munchlax is sitting next to him, slowly devouring a bowl of fruit. marui, meanwhile, is sending a video message to someone.]

--gotten the Zephyr badge and Jackal and I are making our way through Union Cave soon to get to Azalea for my next badge. We'll be back in Goldenrod soon, Yukimura-kun! Tell Sanada we're working hard and keeping up with our training.

[he finishes this message and hits the send button. after this, he records another video message.]

Hey Sisuca! Look, I got my first badge! [he brings the badge up with his free hand to show her.] I've got a long way to go to catch up to you, but I'll definitely make it! Let's have cake to celebrate, okay?

[now that this message is done, he'll send it to sisuca--]

ERROR: ID Number not found.

[marui frowns. that's... not supposed to happen. so he tries to send it again.]

ERROR: ID Number not found.

[and again.]

ERROR: ID Number not found.

[and again. this time, he accidentally broadcasts his recorded video to the whole network too.]

ERROR: ID Number not found.

[shit. marui looks worried. and very sad. he takes a deep breath, eyes closed and pinches the bridge of his nose-- boys don't cry after all.]

[the video feed ends there, but anyone at the inn would find a redhead sitting at the lobby, holding a munchlax like a teddy bear, with his 'Gear on the other side of the couch, just staring off into space.]

ooc; badge is mod-approved!

[d'aww, mitsunari ;u; ]

Yeah, sort of, but not really since she's just gone back-- [pause. headtilt. smile.] So you are capable of caring.

[NONSENSE!!! :V]

Do not misunderstand me. It is not care that drives my actions, but rather curiosity.

Someone has returned home, then?

[...mrrrr he wishes he knew how they did it.]

[don't worry, marui won't tell the world. just ~~johto~~ ieyasu :3 :3 :3]

Haha, sure, let's call it that. [but seriously, this is cheering him up a lot because who'd have thought right? mitsunari? :>]

Mm, yeah. A good friend of mine returned.

[alksndlas noooooo he doesn't care :V]

...Then it occasionally happens without cause.

[Hrm.

And why are you so cheery all of a sudden, mister. :T]

I cannot see how that could be a bad thing.

She told me you won't really know when it would happen. It just does.

And yeah, I guess it isn't such a bad thing. [this smile is directed at you, mitsunari. look at how happy it is.] Are you trying to cheer me up?

[oh shut up he doesn't care at all.]

"It just does" is hardly a useful method of returning...

[...?]

What...? For what purpose would I bother with something so inconsequential?

[if you say so :3c ]

Well. She was collecting badges, too, so maybe the rumor that you go home when you have all the badges is true for some cases.

[and he will just keep smiling at mitsunari.] Dunno, you tell me~

...If there is the slightest of chances it could be true, it is worth pursuing.

[...Hmph.]

I would not and have not. I was far more concerned with the fact that it is, indeed, possible to return.
