[BFF bonding time.]

Hey, Chie. Is your friend all right?

[video]

[isthisourchance]

I dunno... He looked pretty sick in the video he sent last night. And he's only got one of his Pokémon with him!

[video]

[ahokonakamori]

Oh no! Is he going to be all right???? [Is so worried now.]

[video]

[isthisourchance]

He is if we've got anything to say about it! We're taking off as soon as we get supplied to meet him there and help him out. We've all got Pokémon we can ride, so hopefully that should cut some time off the trip.

[lonestarweeaboo]

Is Yosuke always like that?

[Video]

[isthisourchance]

[She chuckles a little bit.] I wanna say "yes", but honestly he's been a real wreck since Souji-kun vanished. Normally he's... a little better.

[Video]

[lonestarweeaboo]

Hehe... Yeah, I could tell that he really cares about the guy a lot. That's an unbreakable bond for ya.

[Video]

[isthisourchance]

Yeah, exactly. I mean, we all care about Souji-kun. He's kinda like our leader, y'know? But those two are Best Friends. [You can almost hear the capital letters.]

[ peering over at the stone display from behind Chie. ]

So you can get those stones here! You know, I bet that would've saved us a lot of trouble and running...

[action]

[restardom]

... Oh, well! You got a killer b-- er, new best friend out of it! It's important to face your fears, right, Chie-senpai? You're an inspiration to us all!

[action]

[isthisourchance]

[Siiiigh.] You're going to help me train it, right? I mean, you are the one who got me into this mess in the first place.

[Over to the side, Tiger, newly evolved and almost as tall as Rise and Chie now, does a few practice swipes with his new elbow blades.]

[action]

[restardom]

I guess... [ note how enthusiastic she looks. ] It didn't somehow shrink or anything from the last time, did it?

action;

[usedkunai]

[Guess who finally got all thems Pokémon under relative control? This guy. Who still has a Riolu attached to his shirt, and boy is he not enthused right now. Between the tiredness, being annoyed at everything, and being anxious to GO--]

Very funny, Chie.

action 1/2;

[isthisourchance]

Oh, calm down, Yosuke, I'm just teasing. It's not like you --

action;

[isthisourchance]

[And the previous sentence is forgotten, because omg puppy.]

Oh my gosh, who is this? He's adorable!

action;

[usedkunai]

[He's too tired to fight the reaction, just sighing and shifting his weight so she can get a better look at him. He's shy, so he curls further into Yosuke's chest.]

Oh, uh, this is Setanta -- he's Souji's, but. Well, he's been kind of attached to me since last week.

[tiercelet]

...it was a bit difficult to read, yeah. [His lips quirk.] Apparently it's some sort of short hand you lot use often?

And if you're looking for the TMs, you ought to ask the people working there. They helped me when I was browsing for TMs, too.

[Video]

[isthisourchance]

[She chuckles.] Some people do. I usually try to be a little clearer when I'm texting.

Oh, yeah! Good idea. I dunno why I didn't think of that!

[Video]

[tiercelet]

I haven't seen anyone else using that sort of short hand here. You think anyone else would be able to read it?

[Pauses for a second, obviously considering something.] Actually...I should take a look around the Department Store for supplies. Mind if I join you?

[Video]

[isthisourchance]

Probably anybody who's used to cell phones, yeah. But I dunno how many that is, considering this place.

Not at all! C'mon over. I'm on the third floor right now.
