[you want to know what kind of day Neku is having? it's a winner for sure. everything's back to normal, at least, even though now he's all the way back in Violet ~~UNLESS I'M WRONG, P4 FOLK? (unsure)~~ and he hates Violet so much.

and now? Chie went to get her Pokémon healed hours ago. and she didn't come back. so Neku did some investigating a la asking the Joys where on earth his best bro ever has gone off to, and the Joys are less than helpful. because, well, Chie is gone.

it takes him a decently long time to bring himself to pull out the 'gear and click on the audio. he sounds, justifiably, less than happy. just saying it takes a lot of effort, because Neku is a lot more attached to everyone he's met here than he gives himself credit for.]

....

Chie's gone.

[there is about a minute and a half of silence, then some shuffling as he presumably reaches over and vaguely shifts around her backpack. there is a Pokéball in here he intends to keep ~~b-but not because he likes it or anything~~.]

Her stuff's here still. So. Yeah.

[another pause, but shorter this time.] ... I'll be around, I guess. Whenever it's time to get out of this town.

[aaaand click.]

ooc; tags will be slow when I run away to class in a wee bit

( action | neku flailing alone in the fog SORRY I JUST WANTED TO WRITE THIS )

[when the video comes on, Neku is not happy. he looks, at first glance, more pissed off than he has ever been since getting to Johto -- and if you look a little closer, he's using this anger to mask feeling really, really upset.]

--Guys. Guys, if anyone has -- if you have a number on your hand, you're not safe. You need to find a partner and stay with them before the Noise -- the Pokémon -- come after you. If you don't, you'll -- [sajkngf things he doesn't want to think about] -- just trust me, find someone and stay with them.

[ooc: SOOOO UHHH Neku is hallucinating Johto as a weird mix of ... Johto and Shibuya's Game. so he'll be screaming about partners and Pokénoise attacking and he will see a timer on your hand even when you don't. :|b ~~all the other nightmares I thought of were boring~~

tl;dr events remind Neku that his canon is a little traumatic when you get past the friendship and the fashion.]

[greetings, you lot. you've obtained +1 Neku, looking kind of tousled and confused. he's sitting in a PokéCenter! those of you who've met him may be wondering why he dropped off the face of the planet.]

So, uh. Anyone else go to sleep and then not wake up until- [a pause.] -ugh, like a week later?

[...at least his sunburn has gone. Neku frowns and rubs the back of his head, looking around before giving the 'gear another perplexed look.]

This is freaking bizarre. Uh. Hey. There are people still coming in, right? Hi. I'm Neku.

[awkward silence.]

Well. That's it, I guess.

[Hello everyone, it's Neku again. He's sporting his bug catcher threads because they're a lot lighter and thinner than his usual clothes, and it's really damn hot out today.

And yes, that includes the big sunhat. He's so overheated and tired and displeased with this weather he doesn't even care that everyone can now look upon his ridiculous hat. He's probably going to be sunburned on his cheeks and shoulders, judging by that budding redness (look, he didn't want to suffer the indignity of this stupid hat until it was unbearable to not, alright). His Pokemon are not out, because they are both water types and would not be having fun today.

He is squinting at the screen, because. It's sunny.]

Anyone know how long it takes to get to the next city from - Cherrygrove? Probably gonna run out of water and get stuck out here if it's a while and this freaking heat keeps up.

[Pause. He moves one shoulder a little, only slightly concealing the resulting wince that produces. Oh, sunburn.]

And uh. Anyone got sunscreen?
