Day 13 - [Text] | [Action] for Ecruteak Inn

[babel_hacker]

[When he woke up, Atsuro was surprised to see Asterisk with a Plusle. A very familiar Plusle who looks rather sad.]

Wait...Kodama? [The Plusle nods, confirming his name, but Atsuro only grew more worried.] Why are you here? Where's Ted?

[Instead of answering, Kodama just look upset and even sadder. Asterisk hugs him, while her trainer was confused.]

Okay, I'll call him right now.

[Grabbing his PokeGear, he try to connect to Ted: THE NUMBER YOU ARE TRYING TO CONTACT IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE]

What...?

[Again, he try to reach for Ted. A part of him already know what this mean, or suspected.

THE NUMBER YOU ARE TRYING TO CONTACT IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE
THE NUMBER YOU ARE TRYING TO CONTACT IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE
THE NUMBER YOU ARE TRYING TO CONTACT IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE]

...Dammit, Ted.

[TEXT]
Unless this is a bad joke, I think Ted's gone. His Plusle, Kodama, is with me.

[It's the first time he personally deal with this, so he feels...rather down enough to stick to text. He's not sure how well his self-control will last with video or audio.]

[babel_hacker]

Yeah. Can't connect with his Gear and Kodama's upset.

[Shiraishi had seen this and tried calling... yeah. No connection.]

It seems like he is.

Say... do you know if he had a Typhlosion?

[Text]

[babel_hacker]

So he went back home, then.

No, I don't. A Typhlosion came to you?

[Text]

[flawlesspoison.livejournal.com]

Yeah, a Typhlosion named Pahn. I've never seen him before... [Imagine the surprise when a Pokémon almost as tall as you comes over.]

[lc-whitequeen.livejournal.com]

Ted is gone?

Are you sure?

[ She is so shocked to hear this --- is this why she found Odessa? ]

[babel_hacker]

I'm sure. I tried calling for him.

[lc-whitequeen.livejournal.com]

I see. Odessa is with me.

[ A very upset Odessa. Lacus had to cradle her to sleep. ]

[Well, there can only be one Ted in this place, right?]

[And to think they just met and talk about people coming and going, sob.]

text

[babel_hacker]

[Yep. Unless there's some other Ted around.]

At least he went home.

[If it really is considering he doesn't know how Ted's world is like. This makes him worry a bit but he shoves that aside.]

We seem to be losing a lot of people lately.

{Text}

[babel_hacker]

It seem so. You know anyone else that left?

{Text}

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

Several of them. Some of their Pokemon found their way to me as well.

{Guess this is the price for being a social butterfly.}

[idlelegance.livejournal.com]

Ted?

[babel_hacker]

Yeah, Ted. You know him?

[idlelegance.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure. I kind of knew a Ted back home, is all.

[Shiho winces when she sees the message. Fuck this place, always taking her friends away. She had gotten one of his Pokemon, but......]

My name is Shiho. I have his Minun here with me.

[babel_hacker]

I'm Atsuro. Are you a friend of his, too?
