ratherbelockyGoooood evening, residents of Johto. It's a lovely, drizzly January day, and I've got a question you folks might be able to answer for me. Consider it an informal poll.
[York looks comfortable and cozy as he lounges around his house, still wearing his ugly Christmas sweater.]
Now, I understand that this place just isn't equipped to support a Grifball League, but there's got to be more to life than just hockey and baseball. Are there Pokémon Olympics or something I should tune into? And, hey, what kind of sports did you guys have back in your worlds? Were they fun? Would you recreate 'em here if you could?
[He rubs his chin for a moment, then adds:]
If anyone around Goldenrod's interested in forming some kind of low-key community sports team--y'know, something for people, not Pokémon--let me know. I might be able to help us get something set up before baseball season starts.

And the rest of your team?

Date: 2016-01-25 09:02 am (UTC)It's easy for me to just slip back into being a hawk. Let instinct take over again. It's easier than being human, a lot of the time.
[And hawks can't cry.]

Date: 2016-01-25 03:44 pm (UTC)[York's been serious up to this point, but reluctance drags at his words, now, too. He doesn't like talking about his last couple years after he crashed the Mother of Invention, but. Maybe the kid needs this.]
Cutting yourself off from people, surviving on instinct alone--maybe it's easier, man, but I don't know that it's better. You sorta...lose perspective. I'm not saying this to be preachy, I just--I don't want a kid like you making the same mistakes I did. That we did. My team.
[After a moment, he adds:]
No matter what happens to you or where you come from, or what else you happen to be...There's always gonna be something that makes you human.

Date: 2016-01-25 03:58 pm (UTC)... I don't want... to think about how... things hurt.
[There's a ruffling of feathers, and Regal pushes at him with his beak. Tobias puts his arm around his birdfriend's neck. Hey there.]

Date: 2016-01-25 04:52 pm (UTC)I'm not telling you what to do either way, Tobias. I just think anyone who's got the opportunity not to carry something alone oughta take it. Family's all well and good, but talking to someone who's been there, who gets it? That's something, too. For you and for your team.

Date: 2016-01-25 05:20 pm (UTC)If you ever want to test it out on someone, I'm around. All right, champ? I may not get all the details of what you guys went through, but I do know war.

Date: 2016-01-26 12:06 am (UTC)No problem. I like to talk. Any time, okay?

Date: 2016-01-26 12:18 am (UTC)[This was not where he intended this conversation to go.]
Re: [Video]
Date: 2016-01-30 02:03 am (UTC)[Because apparently that's a thing.]
Had a giant dragon spray fire at you? It's not like just getting the sun in your eyes or something, there's a force to it, and you gotta be strong enough to take it.

Date: 2016-01-30 02:10 am (UTC)Well, I had a grenade blow up in my face once, yeah. Among other things.
[Is this really a conversation you want to have with a sci-fi soldier, Chazz.]

Date: 2016-01-30 02:24 am (UTC)[What's "quitting while you're ahead" mean?]
Just because you've seen some bad shit doesn't mean you know a thing about dueling.

You wouldn't be saying that if you'd ever seen a professional duel, that's all I'm saying.

Date: 2016-02-06 06:54 pm (UTC)You think they got the tech to replicate that here? They do have kind of a weird mix of things available to the average consumer.
Re: [Video]
Date: 2016-02-08 07:16 pm (UTC)You might be able to recreate it with what's available here, but it'd take a crazy genius. I could maintain my duel disk, but no way I'd be able to build one from scratch.

Dude invented full VR tech before he was even out of high school.
