three (video) ♊ good friends are those who stick together

[Attached to this post is a short audio file that seems to play itself automatically when the post is opened for the first time; even though the Gear says that Sollux posted this, the voice clearly isn’t his. It’s high and squeaky, just as grainy as any other Gear call, but the dialogue goes something like this – “Hi, Sollux! I just saw you get the Zephyr Badge from Falkner, that was so cool! Well, that’s all! Later!”]

[Who knows how Sollux did that, but he’s Sollux, so anyone who knows him probably shouldn’t have it come as much of a surprise. Another thing that shouldn’t come as much of a surprise is the fact that he looks absolutely miserable. Granted, Sollux looks absolutely miserable anyway, but judging from that audio post it seems like he’s actually justified this time; Sollux has apparently become the next victim of every Trainer’s sworn enemy…]

Hey, I’ve got a question.

This asshole has been calling me incessantly about pretty much every step I took since leaving Goldenrod. He’s a fucking stalker.

...

So, how much do assassination services go for in the Kanto area? Johto too, for that matter?

Giving it out should mean people battle you, not that they stalk you.

I'm already looking into changing it.

But I also want to kill 'im just to be safe.

[...You just want to see someone die, don't you, Sollux.]

Then next time he calls, tell him you want to battle him! Killing is not the answer.

oh is that video-jack?

[roemance]

See what I mean about him bein' a total ass now, Cher?

it seems to be!

[fairycircle]

Being a jerk or not, killing for a simple reason like "he calls too much" is something I just can't take!

[viiru2alert]

Try killing for a simple reason like "he's a goddamned stalker".

Get out of here, Ampora, I never said you could come out of time-out.

[roemance]

You cannot ewen PUT me in timeout an' I'm hawing a conwersation with Cher here so you get out.

[Not mentioning the stalker part, he'd be thankful for a stalker probably do it too.]

[viiru2alert]

Eridan, I told you to be in that corner for fifteen minutes and it hasn't even been two. Now stop getting your stupid accent slobber over this innocent person and go back into the fun box.

[For reference: the fun box.]

he needs one for reals

[roemance]

Are you seriously tryin' to tell me what do do?!

can sollux order one of those

[viiru2alert]

We all bleed red here, my friend.

[Smiiiiirk.]

yes

[roemance]

[Even hearing it still makes him frown]

We're not friends and newer will be!

[fairycircle]

I don't care! No, stalking isn't okay, but the locals here seem to have some sort of... problem. They don't behave like normal people at all, so it's incredibly harmless.

[Going to narrow her eyes at the barking at Eridan, yup.]

[roemance]

Yeah well that sort a deluded reasonin' is to be expected from filthy lowbloods such as him. You're really better off not associating with him Cher.

We're not getting into this blood color talk again, Eridan.

[roemance]

Fine, you don't need to know his blood to see he's a total jerk an' waste a space anyway.

[fairycircle]

Exactly. You can say he's just a jerk without bringing in blood colors. Okay? [SLOWLY, WE ARE WORKING ON THIS.]

[roemance]

Then he's a fuckin' jerk.

[fairycircle]

I can believe that from wanting to hurt someone just because they're harmlessly following him around and watching his battles.

[viiru2alert]

Fuck no. I'm not letting my Pokémon near that guy, they might catch creeper disease. It's best to deal with him from a distance.

[Like, for example, a sniper.]

[fairycircle]

[FACEPALMING] That is probably why he keeps calling though! Just battle him and get it over with!

video;

[viiru2alert]

Oh no. Oh no. Oh no no no.

He's not interested in battling with me.

He's interested in talking about my battles.

Every.

Single.

One.

[fairycircle]

Talking never killed anybody.

[viiru2alert]

I met him in Goldenrod.

He just told me that he was watching my battle through the window in the Saffron City dojo.

That's a whole other Region, in case you hadn't noticed.

video; just going to own him here brb-

[fairycircle]

[Takes her gear. Points it at the radio tower to show she's in Goldenrod City. Brings it back and turns it to one of the stores with TVs in the window. Is that a battle going on in Celadon's gym?]

They're taped and shown on the stations all the time. Unless it's out in the wild, anyone can see any gym battle.

video

[viiru2alert]

No. He specified.

Through the window.

And the dojo isn't even an official Gym, either, so suck it.

[fairycircle]

Then he just happened to be in the same place! You don't need to assume he's stalking you. I've seen a few people watching battles from the windows here in Goldenrod, so it's really not as big of a deal as you're making it out to be!
