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.

...Yeah, that would have been kind of selfish and silly to say, TBH.

[He just said TBH.]

I mean, I wouldn't have gone either way. I'm sorry, AA, but a lot of the shit I did for money was based off of those things, and just uprooting them to a place farther away from where I could get my supplies... it wouldn't have worked out in the first place.

[Le shrug.]

I said I know that, silly. It's not something you would have to apologize for.

Yeah, but you wanted it to happen, I know.

I also would have liked to live closer to Tavros. And Terezi! And maybe Nepeta. Being in this place where all the humans live so close together just makes me sort of think about it. It's not really that important.

...Well, we can travel together for now. And I guess if you want we can pick up TS or TZ or NP if they show.

Nepeta's here, actually! She's travelling with Equius.

...Oh. Didn't know that. When did she get here?

I think she was here before I was, but I'm not sure. I've spoken to Equius more than Nepeta!

I talked to Equius once, yeah. He didn't seem that much different.

[ ...This is actually reminding her of her last conversation with Equius, which is an awkward topic, so. Time for a subject change! ]

I guess not. Anyway, I think everyone's here, pretty much - we're only missing a few people.

Probably why the Christmas party was such a clusterfuck.

Well...maybe! But since we're not all in one big travelling group I doubt it'll ever get really bad.

[Excuse him as he takes a moment to contemplate what would happen if that group was formed.]

[...]

[He looks mortified.]

[ Excuse her as she laughs about that expression. ]

Why would you even say that.

So you know how comparatively good the current situation is?

...Fine. I see your point.

I knew you would! So really you only have to worry about everyone coming together for party purposes. And not everyone did sign up to go to that, so!

I can deal with your stupid party. But if anyone asks to make a super-group, just so you know, I'm declining.

I'm not sure I'd like to be in a super-group either, really. It'd be a bit impractical for moving around, and I'm not sure that many people could agree on a destination or move as fast as some of the members might like.

Exactly. Nothing would get done, and everyone would be pissy after being in such close proximity for so long.

You and me, we're just going to pitch off together if that happens.

You have yourself a deal, Sollux!

The gears are pretty handy for keeping in touch, and seeing everyone on holidays...I think that's the best solution.

Yeah. That's what normal people in Johto do anyway, right? Just see each other on holidays?

Well, sans travel partners, that's what seems to be the case!

That's why I said 'normal people', yeah.
