[ ...As usual, Nanami has to pause and look at the camera for a bit before she starts speaking. It's just her usual way of doing things, pay no mind... ]

Um...I'd like to thank everyone who came to my party again. I had a lot of fun. It...meant a lot to me that you all came and had fun as well, so...thank you, very much.

[ A genuine smile, here, although her smiles are typically genuine, if sleepy. ]

...So, after the prom, we don't have to go back where we got picked up. So, who would like to go to Cianwood with me after...? I think it could be a fun thing to do...and that's where I have to go next. So, if you want to go...be sure to bring the things you'd need along to prom as well, okay? And we can...meet up at the end to go there as a group.

[ This is not actually directed solely at her classmates or worldmates, although she expects they are the most likely to want to tag along. ]

Also...I've been taking dancing lessons. Tsumiki-san as well. I think I'm doing okay...so, I'll be sure to dance a lot at the prom. I've never been to a dance before. It should be fun, right? Mm, although we held a game tournament to see who would come with me...Galaga got first place, so she's coming of course...

[ Nanami trails off again. ]

...Anyway, that's it. Ah, no, wait...I want...to play Dungeons and Dragonites. Kirigiri-senpai, can we?

[ Now she's done, although she yawns before she shuts off the feed. Someone might have stayed up a little too late. Nanami can be found lounging near the pokecenter for anyone who cares to see her in person. ]

Outside the Pokecenter in Goldenrod.

Is it ok if I come see you, then? I'd rather talk in person.

[It's probably a good thing he went with text. Otherwise Nanami would have just had to endure a lot of vehement denial and flustered sputtering because she totally nailed it. That's exactly what he was planning on doing.]

[But since it's text, instead she just gets a very, very long stretch of nothing as Kuzuryuu does the aforementioned spluttering on his own time. Then comes the part where he has to actually decide what to say back.]

[It's a wonder he didn't break his screen with as many times as he hit backspace...]

Of course. Do you want me to come to you, or should I just stay here?

Cherrygrove.

[Fucking incredible. Over five minutes and that's all he managed. Amazing.]

[You win this round, Nanami.]

[And then less than a minute later, a second text.]

Is it even worth asking how you guessed that?

[He's sulking so hard right now, can you tell?]

[...]

I'm really sorry, but

could you come to the house?

I just don't want to be overheard.

I haven't made up my mind yet, but I'm thinking of going to Cianwood too. I want to challenge the gym there.

All right, I'm on my way.

[ as ever, Nanami appears to offer no resistance to what Chihiro asks.

...It does take her at least fifteen minutes to get there, though, because her default pace is "ambling" and she gets stopped by a few friends. But eventually she turns up and comes inside the house, peering into rooms and searching for Chihiro. ]

Isn't that obvious? You're still waiting.

[ She didn't even think it was, like, in question... ]

Mm, I'm sure it'll happen soon. So don't worry too much.

If you decide to go, we can go together, then. I also have to challenge the gym...it's the next one in line.

[ She can't bring herself to combobreak...so she's going in order. ]

[Chihiro doesn't particularly mind waiting, since he wasn't really doing anything to begin with. If Nanami keeps looking she'll find him in one of the bedrooms upstairs, sitting on the bed with his knees pulled up to his chest and his arms wrapped around a pillow. There seems to be a little nest of quilts made on the corner of the bed, an egg sitting snugly in the center of the bundle. Isamu is snoozing at the foot of the bed, and there seems to be a Sewaddle crawling on the windowsill, stretching a long strand of silk from one end of the frame to the next.

Finally, what sounds somewhat like a soft music-box melody is issuing from his PokeGear, clearly Zip's attempt to get him to cheer up a bit.]

I'm not worried. Not about something like that anyway. She'll show up when she shows up.

Is that so...I guess I misunderstood. To me, you seemed worried.

Hey, she'll probably be really impressed with your badge and your Pokemon. They're very well trained.

[ nanami you are the only person in your class who would be impressed and admiring about pokemon training skills, probably. ]

Edited (*skills) 2014-03-31 23:47 (UTC)

That means you have four badges already, right? You're fast. [ Of course, he wouldn't expect anything less from the SHSL gamer. ]

I don't see why not.

...

How many people were you thinking, of "everyone"?

You're imagining things.

[Buuuuullllshiiiiiiiiiit.]

Badges. I beat Whitney last week. [Kuzuryuu, why don't you tell anybody about these things? Did you even tell anybody you were going to challenge the gym as long as you were here? No. No, you did not.]

[Because you're a jackass.]

But I think you're the only one who would really be impressed by this sort of thing.

[There was more to be said here, lost to gratuitous backspace key abuse. Somebody should hack his gear so that he can't use text anymore, at this rate he might just permanently switch to this method of communication. He can admit to less feelings this way.]

Edited 2014-04-01 00:00 (UTC)

No, but that's okay.

What's not okay is...

[ YOU HAVE DONE SOMETHING VERY BAD, KUZURYUU-KUN. ]

You didn't invite me to your match!

I would have wanted to go see...

Kuzuryuu-kun, that's so mean.

...we wouldn't have to go back to same spot? [He feels a little silly assuming they would. It just seemed like that would be the case? Not that he's thinking of going right now.]

What is in Cianwood anyway? [He opens up the map to look at it. It's a good ways away but at a glance he can't see anything significant about it.]

Anyone who wants to. I guess some of them won't...but I think maybe one or two of mine might want to...and surely Fujisaki-sama and Naegi-senpai would be interested as well, right?

[ .......Since they, along with Nanami, are the most generally amiable Dangans. ]

Yep. I've been working hard, because...I want to go over to Kanto as well. That's where you'd normally start, anyway...

No, there doesn't seem to be a rule about it. So, that'll save on travel time, since their travel arrangements are faster...

[ WELL, THERE IS...LIKE, ONE SIGNIFICANT THING... ]

The next gym. That gym should give me the Fly TM, too...

I'd assume they would be, if you asked them.

It's a sort of storytelling game, isn't it? What kind of story were you thinking of telling?

[That saves a lot on travel time. And fly...] Is this "TM", the way to get the fly skill for flying pokemon?

[That seems really ridiculous. They already have wings. It really is like a video game.]

Is it our only chance at it?
