DREAM 009 [VIDEO/ACTION IN GOLDENROD CITY]
[Phew, finally Goldenrod. After much travelling and riding on the back of different Pokemon like a Charizard, Skarmory, Gyarados, and the such with his cousin and whoever else that has tagged along, they have finally seen the familiar Goldenrod city again.
The city still has had that smog-filled air surrounding it, busy people running around everywhere, new billboards being put up everywhere, it's exactly like how a normal big city might run. It almost reminds him of the city back home except with less people running around trying to complete missions sent to them by text messages for seven days and dealing with a fabulous boy that goes around with his little cellphone to kill Noises.
Well, same thing really.
It hasn't taken Souji long to relax once he has arrived here. After all, he has already been here before so exploration isn't that big on his list. That and travelling does tend to make a person tired, even if it has been their Pokemon that doing most work.
That's why Souji and his Pokemon are relaxing outside on a bench near the entrance of the city, just sitting there and doing nothing but trying to regain their energy. They all would have been sleeping in Souji's room, but perhaps having a Gyarados and Charizard in his room be a bad idea. Also, some fresh air will do them some good. Well, as fresh as the air can be in the industrial city. This is why they have decided to sit by the entrance of the city where they are somewhat further from all that smog.
Souji just sits on the wooden bench, legs spread out and looking up at the sky, trying to figure out just what shape that strange cloud might look after. His Charizard sleeping in a large pile next to his Gyarados behind him, inconveniencing anyone that might want to be walking down that path to only find that two large Pokemon are blocking the way. A Skarmory sits high and proud by Souji's side despite feeling exhausted. Always have to keep an eye out if anyone needs help or keep on guard! A Wartortle and Ivysaur are off to the side, arguing in some Pokelanguage about Ho-Oh knows what. Maybe who will evolve first to chill with Charizard or something like that. Oh them and their shenanigans. Finally, the last Pokemon to complete this team is a little Cleffa, one that a certain Nanako has given Souji to as an egg for Christmas. This little Cleffa is just sitting at the edge of the bench and playing with a certain Pokegear that belongs to a certain trainer and that is recording a certain scene that a certain network can all see.
Souji is a bit busy trying to figure out the shape of that dang cloud to really notice that his Cleffa is recording this to the network.
The recording continues of this relaxed party for a bit longer before one (1) gruff looking detective comes into view! Well, not really gruff, but as gruff as Dojima might look with that five o'clock shadow.]
There you are. We've been looking all over for you.
[Souji looks down from having a staring contest at the sky and sits up properly on the bench. Oh hai thar]
Oh, Dojima-san. Need anything?
[The man just shakes his head.]No, nothing really. Just...don't come back to the hotel just yet.
[...AWKWARD STARE...]
Is there something wrong?
I'm just teaching Nanako how to cook. I think she wants it as a surprise for you.
[It looks like awkward stare is evolving! It has evolved into confused look!] Surprise?
Yeah, she's getting excited about it.
[Another awkward silence because Souji's trying to figure out what the surprise is, but doesn't want to ask because Dojima prooooooobably wouldn't tell him. That and the man is just...standing there. Dang, and he thought the awkwardness kinda disappeared after maxing out the Hierophant social link.]
How old are you turning again, Souji?
Huh? [Sorry about that, Dojima. Souji is still kinda trying to figure out what the hell is going on.]
It's your birthday today, right? Unless Nanako and I got it wrong.
[BLANK STARE]
March 20th?
[SOUJI IS MINDBLOWN. Oh, um wow, that's today? He hasn't been really keeping track of the dates lately. Probably because he's been just running around and everything. Well, hurr durr. He just nods.]
Guess it is my birthday today. [A small smile though the emotion behind it is a bit uncertain.] I should be eighteen now. [Not quite legal in Japan, but legal in other countries!]
Haha, forgot all about it, huh? Well, stay here. We'll tell you when to come.
[And like that, Dojima turns to leave straight back to the hotel to attempt back at cooking with his daughter, ready to burn down the whole place-- well, maybe not completely burn it down. Just partially.
As for Souji, he just sits on the bench, completely dumbfounded. He has completely forgotten about his birthday and feels a bit...well...dumb, for a lack of a better word. It's not like he has really celebrated his birthday really big. Probably just a once or twice when he was about four or five, but other than that...they have all been really small parties or no parties due to being that loner kid. So, he doesn't really do much on it.
The little Cleffa that has been recording all of this walks up to its trainer and nudges it a bit with the camera, getting a good view of his jacket.
He looks down and finally, he notices that everything has been recording. OH IZANAMI THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN A ROW THAT ONE OF HIS POKEMON HAS BEEN RECORDING WITHOUT HIS PERMISSION THIS IS MADNESS
Well, time to try and recover from this again.]
Hey...is it normal to forget your own birthday? It looks like I just forgot mine...
(( OOC: TL;DR DOJIMA CAME AND WENT ALL "I'M TEACHING NANAKO HOW TO COOK DON'T COME SINCE WE'RE BURNING DOWN THE HOTEL" AND SOUJI WENT "OH DANG MAN IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY I FORGOT" AND THEN HE'S ALL LIKE "HEY NETWORK IS IT NORMAL TO FORGET YOUR BIRTHDAY" AND THUS WE'RE HERE. DOJIMA WAS WRITTEN INTO THIS WITH PERMISSION, THE GREY IS DOJIMA AND THE BLUE IS SOUJI NOW GOOOOOO ))
