FOURTH WALL EVENT [VIDEO/ACTION IN ICE PATH]

[tarotcards]

[ Hey guys, it's been a while, hasn't it? I'm sure you've all missed just looking into the network and finding a video feed of the camera waving ALL OVER THE PLACE, OH MY GOD, WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN, FUCK YOOOOOOOOOOOU, JOHTO. ]

[ So, as according to tradition, most people can easily figure who this video feed belongs to and what's going. To the new people, just take a look at Souji sliding all around the ice floor and making a verbal keysmash as he attempts not to fall on his face and break his nose. Well, too bad for him, he does finally slip and manage to fall right down onto his face, the gear slipping out of his hands and sliding away. Ughhhhh, god, he hates the Ice Path so much. ]

[ He slowly sits himself up, pressing one hand up to his nose, making sure it's not broken and checking if it's bleeding. Thankfully, it's not, but it still hurts like hell. It's also freezing cold in this Ice Path, but at least he's somewhat prepared, by wearing four shirts. ]

[ Now, you might be asking yourself "why is this bowlcut dude wearing four shirts and why did he pop every single collar?" Well, you should be asking yourself "why the fuck not?" To keep a long story short, Souji does not turn down bets!! ]

[ He slides himself towards his gear, picking it up and sighing in relief when he finds that it's still working. The last thing he needs is for to be broken. He's already on his third Pokegear so he does not need to get another (unsure) look when he asks for a new one. ]

Y'know, I'm starting to believe that this Ice Path has an attraction to me. This is the fourth time I've been teleported here, you'd think they'll get tired of me slipping around. Might as well rename it Souji Path...

[ Alright alright, enough joking around. Time to get out of here, but let's check his new Pokemon team. He got pretty crappy Pokemon for the last three times, so he has to get something neat this time, right? ]



[ Oh hey, Woopers! Those are actually kinda good. Souji sells Wooper eggs at the Breeding Centre and he knows their moves, so guess Johto was nice to him for once. ]

[ He slowly stands up and makes his way to his new team. They all stare up at him with their dopey smiles, and he just returns it, outstretching a hand to them. ]

Hey there, think you can help me out of her--

[ And guess what? Outstretching a hand to Woopers is always a bad idea because then they bite down onto your hand and try to eat it. ]

[ brb, protag flailing and waving his arm all around to get three Woopers to let go of his hand. ]

[ Wait, stop. He knows that voice and that flailing scream. It's been months since Yosuke's leave and just this timing... Forget trying to get these Woopers off, he needs to see if it's really him and if he remembers about this place, about them. ]

[ He slides over to ground land, finding it rather difficulty to balance with three Woopers on one hand, but he manages through and quickly manages to find his way over. ]

--Yosuke!!

[At the sound of Souji's voice, Yosuke's head whips around. That's a voice he can't miss anywhere. Though it immediately confirms his suspicions; his time back in Johto is limited, and just as always, Souji's teleported into the middle of the Ice Path.]

[It's almost bittersweet, fully knowing this. But still. Seeing Souji, memories of his experiences rushing back to him -- knowing that it means he left while Souji remained. The thing he'd feared most the entire time he was there became a reality and now he knows there's absolutely nothing he can do about it.]

[His breath hitches in his throat as he squirms with a little more force, trying to break free of the the slobbery grasp of the Lickitung.]

...Souji! I-- [There are so many things he wants to say. He wants to plead for help, he wants to apologize, he wants to just grasp Souji and cling to him in the vain hopes that whoever brings them in and out of Johto will hear his pleas and let him stay. But in the end, he only sputter. He can already feel the threat of tears stinging at his eyes as he wraps his head around the situation.]

[ From the looks of it, it seems like Yosuke already knows about their limited time and his departure from Johto. At least Souji doesn't have to break the bad news to him. He's not too sure if he would want to be the bearer of the biggest fear Yosuke had, especially the one that held them back from a relationship for so long. After all, what's the point of starting one if neither of them could stay forever and remember later on? But Souji wanted to give it a try and it was good for a month or two, it was slow but sweet. However, just like they've feared, it didn't last for long and that kills Souji to know that. How cruel can you get, Johto? Take Yosuke away then give him back when they only have three days together? Rip out his heart and stomp on it, would you? ]

[ He takes a deep breath as he slowly walks over. There are so many things to discuss, but they can't really do much with the Woopers and Lickitung.]

Later. [ Referring to what's both weighing heavily against them. ] We need to first get this Pokemon to let go.

[ But how to do that... Souji doesn't have both his hands free, thanks to these little blue things. So how to.... ah!! ]

[ He takes his hand and places it right by the Lickitung's tongue. The Woopers take a look back and forth from the hand they're biting now and the large tongue right behind them. Tongue, hand, tongue, hand, tongue, hand-- god, that tongue looks really yummy. At least it'll probably be easily to bite into than this hand, so just like Souji expected, they quickly let go and jump right onto the Lickitung and bite down hard. Those other three Woopers that decided to just stand around and watch? They slide and run right on over to join in on this feast. OM NOM NOM NOM, YUMMY LICKITUNG ]
