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.

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.

...Are you saying your travel partners aren't normal people?

By normal people, I meant people staying at home and not traveling, period.

That sounds boring.

I guess they've already done all the exciting Pokémon things there are to do in this world. [Shrug.]

There are lands we haven't even seen here - and I've heard new pokemon are discovered all the time. I don't think running out of things to do is a worry anyone needs to have!

Well, you're kind of different. Most people on Alternia weren't unauthorized junior archaeologists.

I like to think of myself as an adventurologist, really!

Adventurologist, then. Point is, you can find shit to do where other people can't. So that's probably why they're all sitting around on their asses living normal lives while they could be out experiencing the thrill of adventure or whatever.

You're not considering settling down in one place, are you?

I'm getting more badges before I think about that.
