I didn't think Johto could any weirder than it was already. Between... y'know, radioactive monsters and old, out-of-date, 8-bit music that won't turn off no matter what you do, I figured we had reached the maximum capacity for weird.

I think this place just proved me wrong.

... Everything okay, Kaito?

... I guess I liked what I heard in Ecruteak.

[bakaitoukid]

[glancing up from his gear at him with a grin]

'Course it is! Why wouldn't it be?

-- really? Haven't been that far, so I guess I can't say.

[overthedratini]

You seem to be thinking about something, hehe.

It was pretty interesting. I didn't get to stay long, but it wasn't as bad as the rest, I think.

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

Just about how weird this place is. [iiit might take him a while to get over meeting The Joker]

Ecruteak is the one that's North of Goldenrod, right?

[youhavemybat]

[Waves at him.] Yo! Is something up?

[Action]

[bakaitoukid]

[a few surprised blinks because he hadn't met Keiichi in person before now yet, but it doesn't take him long to grin in return and lift his hand in a mock salute in greeting]

Something? No, just thinking!

[Action]

[youhavemybat]

I gotcha. Don't think too hard or you'll end up getting depressed!

[Action]

[bakaitoukid]

[amused snort]

I don't think it's something to get depressed over. 'S just weird.

[Voice]

[foolishwren]

Must be pretty crazy if you're weirded out. Gonna share any details or do I have to sit here and wonder?

... Oh, and I hate any music here by virtue of it never stopping

I'd rather listen to angsty sixth graders blaring Simple Plan than anything this place has to offer by now.

[Voice]

[bakaitoukid]

'M not weirded out! It's just something I never thought would happen, that's all!

C'mon, not all of the music is that bad! Some of it's pretty catchy. [nevermind the fact that he hates Violet City and Sprout Tower themes because he was forced to listen to them for so long]

[Voice]

[foolishwren]

Well gosh, that sure alleviates my curiosity! [She said it teasingly, but she really WAS curious! Not really enough to pry, though.]

Okay, it's not earbendingly awful or anything, but it still makes me feel like I'm in a Super Mario game. Which is really surreal considering all the trees and grass are REAL, not all... pixelated.

Anyway, whoever wrote the Pokemon Center music should die. Horribly.

[Voice]

[bakaitoukid]

[it isn't so bad, he just doesn't really want it to get back to the guy he's talking about]

Technically, we are in a video game. Sans pixel graphics and cheesy boss one-liners.

Not a fan?

[voice

[profpuzzle]

Oh, does the music change from every city to city? I assumed that each city had the same theme and the same for towns.

[Something like every city having that Cherrygrove tune and every town having the same New Bark Town tune. Well, the Professor isn't that far in Johto to know anyway.]

Well, the tune for New Bark Town was quite nice. However, the tune in these Pokemon Centers on the other hand...

[Considering that he works there full time and sleeps there with a tune that just won't stop, yeah, it gets annoying.]

[voice]

[bakaitoukid]

Don't like the Center theme?

[voice]

[profpuzzle]

No, I'm afraid not. It does tend to get quite annoying when you hear it for more than eight hours a day in a row.

Is it the same for you about these Violet City and Sprout Tower tunes?

[voice]

[bakaitoukid]

[amused snort]

Whatever gave you that idea?

[bakaitoukid]

Nothing happened, I was just thinking.

You bet. Is that our official time of departure?

[bakaitoukid]

Would I lie to you?

You, me, Kay, Johan... anyone else?
