[Denzel hears rather familair music too as he jumps around at random music out of nowhere. That a familiar voice]

Wait... a second. Familiar music out of nowhere. And - that voice...

Could it be?!

[A flood of memories seem to come to him as he looks her in the eyes]

BOTAN!

Yes, yes. It's me. Mr. Crocker!

[Denzel rushes to meet Botan as he's still in a state of disbelief but also joy. As seen on his curving mouth]

It's good to see you again.

[As sincere as that is... There's something just off and creepy about it]

[callbacks]

Right?

[He sticks his hands back in his pockets and looks vaguely mutinous.]

You get me, Jade, why can't the universe supply me with a parental unit that can sustain me in the lifestyle I'm accustomed to. I don't ask for much, you know, just a roof and some microwave meals and the highest-end sound equipment money can buy. The basics.

[styxiedust]

[Well. It's Crocker, there's usually something off about him. Regardless of that, Botan reaches up and hugs the old weirdo--it's pretty clear he's been missed by his friends.]

I'm glad to see you, too! I was so worried when you left--ah, but don't worry, some of your Pokemon ended up with me and Rise-chan, so they're safe.

[crackpotcrocker]

[Denzel makes some surprised indistinguishable as he's randomly hugged. After a moment, finds his eyes filling with water and begins slightly crying and hugs Botan back. He missed her as well]

I'm sorry. I'm - SORRY! That I forgot you... While I was gone.

Glad to see you as well. You where? Why?

Oh good. I'm glad to hear. Which Pokemon did you get?

[gainedlove]

[It is hard to hold hands and his little monster at the same time! So instead Frisk keeps pace at Asriel's side, heading back down the street looking for a particular alleyway.]

Nope...well, there was that bug, but it didn't seem to want to stick around. Soon as I showed up it ran away. You think 'Sunkern' is his name, then?

[styxiedust]

[Well, that's only to be expected, but Botan--being Botan--takes a moment to muss his hair when she lets go.]

Oh, honestly, I'm your friend, why wouldn't I worry? [A pause, give her a second, she...she's gotten a lot of Pokemon from friends that have left recently.] Your Ditto and your Cleffa. I gave them names, I hope you don't mind.

[onceamonster]

I think so. He must be pretty young.

[Maybe he just hasn't grown his legs yet? Or...something...

Asriel shrugs a little, hefting the seed a bit higher in his arms as he tilts his head back to avoid getting whapped in the face by the long sprout growing from the top of the Pokemon's head.]

...I hope I didn't take him...from somebody, though. I mean, he was just...on the ground...

[lieutenantantichrist]

[Hah! What did you think would happen, they'd swarm Blake and turn him into a sticky purple blob flailing around like a moron? Think again!

Then think again again, because that's exactly what happens.]

Goddammit! Get off me, you fuckin' trumped up chewing gum!

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

[Since he's a jerk, Cobra Commander's just going to laugh while Blake is attacked by the blobs.]

It ssseems running me out of town has become a far ssstickier sssituation than you must've assumed it would be! Not so easy now, is it?

[failureisntachoice]

[ Flatly: ] And what do you expect me to do about that? I just got here and I didn't exactly get a full welcome kit.

[in4apounding]

I don't know!

[Penny please don't sound so happy about that, that is not going to reassure anyone.]

I mean, this place is called Johto, but it's some kind of whole other world. No one here has even HEARD of Vale or Atlas! People just wake up here one day with no idea how to get home, with these little monsters for protection instead of weapons...

work kicked my butt i am sorry

[heartdive]

[ the flying squirrel, true to form, just turns his back. nope. he really only wants to do take it when it's an inconvenience or when it surprises someone.

Sora? well he shrugs. ]

I'll take some if he won't.

[ratherbelocky]

That's what they tell me. None of mine have complained about the accommodations so far.

[His Luxray makes what might be an amused chuffing noise, tail twitching behind her.]

[nailed_it]

[Yang's torchic must take after Ruby to some degree because he's so enamored with the attention that he nearly falls off Yang's shoulder when she stoops down towards the other Pokemon.]

Aww, I'd have a really hard time punching Grimm if they looked like this cutie.

[To be fair, she has never seen a Beowolf that was this small, so maybe she'd have a hard time punching a Beo-pup Grimm too. ...Probably not, but maybe.

Just gonna reach out a hand to ruffle scruffle the puppyyyyy.]

[ratherbelocky]

[D-2 looks up at York, and before she can ask, he says:]

And the I stands for intelligence.

[Pleased understanding charges the air and D-2's attention wanders from the conversation again, perhaps to analyze this new information and extrapolate further meaning from it. York shrugs.]

I dunno, it's just something the people do around here the way folks back home fish, or collect baseball cards. Except a little more useful than that, given what they can do.

it's no problem!

[sunshineprincess]

[Anna nods and hands the bag to him.]

So I take it Bending really isn't normal here? But these little animals are?

[failureisntachoice]

[ If it weren't for how solid the Luxray and Hitmonlee looked, she'd think they were holograms of AI. ]

I'm getting the impression they don't talk much. [ Unlike someone she knows. ] Anything else I should know before I go out into the wild?

bless u

[heartdive]

[ he gonna do what a teenage boy do: try to shove as many in his mouth as he can. hold onto that though Anna. he'll get to it after he nearly cokes on the candy and clears out his mouth. ]

Nope! Never heard of it. Most magic like things don't happen here. But these guys are native. There are a lot of different kinds and types too.

[crackpotcrocker]

[Denzel gives Botan a soft smile] I'm glad you still are... I'm sorry. I'M SORRY I LEFT!

... What did you name them? And who got Geraldine and the rest of my Pokemon?

[ratherbelocky]

[Before he says anything flip, York actually stops to consider his answer. He breathes a quiet half-laugh that has less to do with humor than with self-aware wryness. He said this already, but:]

Carolina's here, and she survived the crash, and she's about as happy as any of us can expect to be, after everything that happened.

slumps in with starbucks like what up

[gainedlove]

[It's okay, Dave. You've still got a whole finale to finish up that character arc of yours! There's hope for you yet.]

What's semantic?

[gainedlove]

[Frisk frowns a little with worry--that is a bit of a problem...]

Well, if he wants to be with you I think it's okay. But maybe we should ask if anyone lost him.

what up what up what up homes

[callbacks]

Like, uh. The meanings of words. Something relating determination in particular to saving, I feel like there's got to be some kind of figure of speech at play there but I'm not enough of a total nerd to figure it out.

[gainedlove]

Oh! Well, um.

[They bite their lip for a moment, looking down at their feet while they try to find the right way to put things.]

Determination makes you keep going, even when you die. You go back and try again until you get it right.

Or, um. That's how I feel, when I LOAD.

[callbacks]

[Dave goes deathly still for a moment, then looks--really looks--at Frisk for the first time.]

...How old are you?
