♣ 003 [ video ] - forward-dated to tomorrow

[ This time, the video feel clicks on to show the COOLEST COLLEGE KID EVER (yes, that's a joke) in a hotel room. ]

Hey, looks like I finally made it to Goldenrod. I didn't realize how long a journey it would be....

[ Don't mind the fact that, as he's talking, he walks over to the light switch and flips it on. Then off. Then on again. Then off again.

[... Well, shit.

Fortunately, acting is something Santa's very used to by this point, so any panic he might be feeling is carefully masked under indifference.

Still. Not good at all.]

You named 'em after those guys? Man, how lame can you get...?

[ Don't worry, Santa. If Junpei ever even noticed anything off, he'd just attribute it to discomfort, considering who they're discussing. ]

Hey, those names aren't bad! I mean, if you saw them, you'd realize that they actually kind of fit.

[Good. Making mental note to talk to June after this-]

Yeah? And what, you're gonna name one after that son of a bitch next?

voice;

[hewhosurvives]

Who, Ace? I wasn't exactly planning on it.

[primaduelerina]

Most do, yes.

... Is something wrong with the room?

[video]

[hewhosurvives]

Oh, okay. I guess it's easier just to celebrate them here.

...Huh? No, it's fine...I think. [ Looking around in general to check. ]

[video]

[primaduelerina]

... What are you checking for, exactly?

[video]

[hewhosurvives]

I'm just making sure the room doesn't have any tricks. You know, in case I might need to escape out of it or...uh, something like that.

[ SEE, TOTALLY NORMAL. ]

[hewhosurvives]

Even if time is a little different here? Hmm...

[ He takes a moment to think it over. ]

I guess it makes sense, though...if you're here, it counts, right?

[hewhosurvives]

Yeah...guess I'm 22, then.

[ And now he seems to cheer up a little. ]

Any suggestions on how to celebrate such an important occasion?

[nyanrolls]

[Oh, it's that customer from before-]

Ah- Hm. I've heard of birthdays being celebrated here before.

[hewhosurvives]

[ Oh, hey, it's the pie lady! Have a friendly smile. ]

Yeah, that's what most people have been saying. So if I have my birthday here, I should make it count, right?

[nyanrolls]

Mm! I'm sure it'll be a good one too!

[hewhosurvives]

Now I just have to think of a good way to celebrate...
