[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…]

[…Juggler Irwin.]

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?

Claydol...I haven't had any experience with those yet. She might be able to communicate telepathically with people. There's always the option of freaking your friend out if she can.

I don't even know who he is, though. Or where he is. Or what he looks like.

But he keeps phoning me about things that happened in Saffron when I met him in Goldenrod.

I dunno, maybe she can do it.

[...Or maybe she can break Irwin's mind for him. Yes. This is a much better idea.]

That's...interesting. Well it certainly wouldn't hurt to let her try, in any case...Maybe you should look into getting a Porygon. Most are able to control the gear itself and could likely easily spam call the poor fool.

[whoa whoa wait back up WHAT??]

...Where do I get one of those?

If not through eggs from others, they can be won in the Game Corner in Goldenrod. If you'd like, I could easily provide one for you though when I get around to my next batch of breeding, which should be rather soon.

[Oh fuck no. He's been to that Game Corner, man, something about the lights and the locals and the music... it's creepy.]

That'd be cool, thanks.

[[Yeah, that's generally her feeling on the matter. But hey, Sollux is good with electronics, she figured she'd mention it. Who knows how he'd do at some of those games!]]

What are friends for?

...Friends?

[Whoa whoa hold up. His expression sours immediately.]

We're not friends.

[[Oh. Well, that's okay. She doesn't mind starting over.]]

Mmm, sorry. The Sollux who was here before you and I were fairly close friends. It's always a little difficult getting used to it when Johto introduces one who doesn't remember anything.

Oh, him again.

Yeah, I've heard stories from KK.

Yes, him. [[Sorry she's laughing a little.]]

What kind of stories? Because Karkat hasn't been here the entire time, and I'm sure there are plenty of stories you're missing out on.

Mostly about how he was a freeloader who never did shit.

[...No, Sollux.]

[Just, no.]

[[Wow Karkat, really?]]

He wasn't that bad. After he returned blind, he really couldn't work, so he didn't have a whole lot of choice. He figured out how to code applications onto the gear, even though it was apparently very limiting. He of course made plenty of points with me for handling Eridan. At one point they were moirails. That was interesting.

Wha.

Moi.

What.

[Sorry, just give him a moment. The next sentence comes with a lot of long pauses in between each word.]

Who in fuck would want to do that.

[[More laughing.]]

To be fair, Eridan was also really pathetic. Supposedly moreso than back home?

Impossible.
