Log:

As positive as the general response to his arrival at Goldenrgod had been, Crow couldn't help but find it somehow lacking. Not that he'd expected some welcoming party, but it would have been nice to hear from and, if possible, meet all his friends that were in Goldenrod, considering how long it had been since the last time he was there. Overall, he was pleased with who he'd met up with, yes, but there was someone he'd been thinking about visiting for a long time, and his stay in the biggest city of Johto wouldn't be complete if he'd chosen not to stroll by the Breeding Center.

And there he was, walking into the building without ceremony, even though the working hours of the Center were long since over and there wasn't anyone to greet him at the desk. The duelist wasn't familiar with the layout of the Center, but as it soon turned out, finding the owner's office wasn't a difficult task. He stood in front of the door for a moment, wondering if he'd even find Souji there at that hour, but simply thinking wasn't going to answer that question. Crow knocked lightly on the door and, without waiting for a response, pushed the door open, sticking his head inside.

"Knock, knock! Is the boss still in here?"

[ It really hasn't been too busy at the Breeding Centre this past month. Probably with the Pokemon Centres going down and people gaining powers in the previous month, the interest for baby Pokemon have considerably died down. Besides, who has time to take care of an egg now? Despite that, though, Souji has been keeping to his busy schedule of staying in the office and managing his large business. So, as usual, he has his face full of papers and schedules. The Breeding Centre has closed a while ago, being a Saturday, so he has some nice peace and quiet to organize his things. ]

[ Oh, before Crow comes in and ruins everything. ]

[ C'mon, bro, don't you know you should at least wait before sticking your head in? At least Souji isn't too surprised, since he gets people knocking and/or barging into his office all the time, but still, when has Crow arrived back in Goldenrod? Man, he hasn't been keeping up with anything this month. ]

[ He sits up properly, no longer hunched over his papers, and puts down his pen. ]

Still here and going to be for another hour. What's up?

[Really, if anything, Souji should be grateful he actually bothered knocking first. Being sensible does not lie in his nature, after all. Another proof to that is the fact he casually crosses the room until he's standing right in front of the desk, looking down at all the papers on it with a judging expression on his face.]

... Another hour.

[He lets out a huff, his arms folded and brow furrowed. Is he kidding him or what?]

You do realize it's Saturday evening, right? You don't have to spend it in the office.

[As much as Crow understands -- and has great respect for -- people who work hard to make ends meet, even he knows there are some limits to that. He may work a lot on his deliveries himself (although still less than back home where he doesn't have his bird Pokémon to assist him), but he's still aware there must be time in which one can take a break. That's what they invented the weekend for, right?]

[ They've invented Sunday for that reason and Souji's quite used to doing work on Saturdays. Besides, it's not like he has taken it very easy on Saturdays before, since some of his schools ran classes on that day. This is completely normal for him. ]

I just want to finish a few things first.

[ Those being all these papers right here which is more than just "a few". Do you see them, Crow? ]

[Well, fair enough: Saturday may count as a working day too, but these certainly aren't working hours now. This isn't 'normal', no matter how you look at it.

And these "few things" you're talking about? Oh yes, Crow sees them. And no, he does not like it. Which is why he puts his hands down at the desk with a loud thud, staring right into Souji's eyes with a determined expression.]

No way! These will have to wait 'till Monday!

[And before Souji can even protest, he grabs the papers he was writing on when the duelist entered the room and picks them up with a triumphant grin.]

'Sides, you've got plans for tonight already. We're heading out!

[ Wh-- no, give him back his paperssss. Giving Crow the face in the icon right now. ]

Heading where? It's a bit too late for anything.

[Alas, the papers remain Crow's hostages until further notice. The duelist doesn't seem fazed by that look in the slightest, though.]

Never too late to go somewhere fun! C'mon, you can't sit here your whole life!

[Because that's called workaholism and is bad for you.]

[ idk bro, Souji seems quite content sitting here for his whole life until he gets set back to Japan. Don't test him!! ]

It's the middle of the night. I think most places are closed now.

This will end well.
