viiru2alert | six (video) ♊ it's the pokémon christmas bash!

[Sollux has been wandering around all by his lonesome since the Cinnabar incident, letting Karkat and Vanitas have their... alone time without a third wheel intruding. He's sure they were very grateful, but didn't actually get around to telling them he was leaving, so he couldn't be sure. He's been doing his own wanderings all over the place, contemplating maybe getting Badges or something... and never actually getting any Badges. Good job, Sollux. But now it's time to actually kick his ass back into gear; the Pokémon are getting antsy from all this wanderlust. He can feel it by the way Fefero slams him over the head with a cannon. That's a bored cannon.]

[There's a really quick video post up on the Network now; it looks like he's sitting on a beach, Axolotl the Absol on his lap as usual. Resting in Olivine does have its perks.]

Anyone in Johto know a place to go for the holidays? Preferably in a town with a Gym? [And yet he hasn't left the city yet.] I feel like integrating myself with the locals and getting my ass out of this chair at the same time.

...Goldenrod.

[His voice is a dead-sounding echo.]

Oh my lord, I can't even imagine what they would do in Goldenrod. You'd be blinded by the end of the month from all the seizurrific Christmas lights...

_{[But Miguel loves the Christmas lights!]}

If that's too much for you then I'd suggest Violet. _[beat] Or Azalea.

[Sollux doesn't like lights of any kind unless they're red and blue lights. And sometimes those get kind of awkward too. 8( ]

I never said it was too much for me. But then, my eyes have seen lights that no eye should ever have to see.

Uhm, okay, that's... that's a shame?

...right?

Nah.

I mean, they blow out sometimes, but it's no big deal.

[Sollux looks completely serious, but he's laughing internally.]

_{[Miguel is... actually a bit distressed right now.]}

How... how can they do that?

You mean human eyes don't do that?

...Oh, that's right. No eye beams. Forgot.

[ TROLOLOL ]

No, not really, so uhm...

What are you, then? You know, originally, when you aren't human.

Troll from the planet Alternia.

If you've met anyone on the Gears who types in weird colors, they're probably one of us.

Ahaaah. No I haven't really talked to them.

_{[Because reading that text is too hard when you've just learned how to write properly 8(]}

But I have seen them around on the networks, yes.

Yeah, I wouldn't go out of my way to talk to me either.

[Is he still trolling? ...We just don't know.]

Well, it's... more because their text is really hard to read.

There are settings you can change for that. So it's just the letter replacement, and that's it.

Oh really? I'm not really... up to date on with how this technology-thing works.

_{[He has been here for two years and the gear is still a bit of a mystery.]}

Yup. Just go poking around for a little. As long as you don't go into the developer areas, you won't fuck anything up too bad. ...And if you somehow do, just bring it into a Pokémon Center and let the technicians look at it.

[Most of the technicians are assholes, of course, himself included. But hey, they know how to fix a PokéGear. It's not exactly advanced technology.]

Hmm, okay. I'll try it. _{[later when he's got his dictionary close at hand]}

Using the gear has become a lot easier since I learned to read, so I think I'll do fine.
