Private video: Utau, Hijirikawa, Riku, Tenten, Aradia, Crow, Winry

[Oh, hey. It's an actual video feed from this guy. On a more private line. That can only mean one thing, right? Too bad he doesn't look all that happy and he's looking slightly beaten up. Thanks for the final gift, Team Rocket.]

Good news. I'm out of there. [Hurray. That's great!] The bad news is... I was dropped off to an island without any of my Pokémon. [Ya... y.... please plan for his funeral.]

So uh... I might need a little help in geting out of here.

[Good thing it's not the middle of winter or anything... though how on earth will he survive who knows how long...]

A curious question. What would you do if you would be stranded on an island without any equipment to survive? I mean, there's the weekends you can't remember much about so there's quite a big chance of something like that happening to you. Have you ever thought how to get out of that situation?

[Of course, this has nothing to with real life experience. Of course not. No no.]


(ooc: with mod permission, Ren is out of the Rocket base... on Whirl Islands. Whoops.]

Yeah, okay. I've been traveling around with Jane Crocker, so the two of us will head that way. She's got to challenge all the Gyms anyway, so it's as good a place to start as any.

[She still looks pretty worried though.]

D'you think we could try to get them back somehow?

I hope it's not too much trouble for you both. I mean, I'd love to see you as soon as I can, but if it's too difficult, then don't push yourselves.

[All the trouble just to see a loser who was caught because of his stupidity. There's a small, almost unheard sigh.]

It should be possible in theory... but it's Team Rocket we're facing.

It's not too much trouble. We've just been training. Getting her ready to start challenging the Gyms. Besides, she can learn techniques right alongside you.

[She pauses, then offers a bit of a self-depreciating shrug.]

I'm sorry I couldn't've done anything to help. I'll be a better friend next time. Promise.

I guess Utau will want to learn them as well. You'll be a busy teacher.

[There's a small smile at that and quite a lot of trust in his eyes. Which brings him to the next topic.]

I wouldn't have wanted you to get yourself involved. This was something I caused and I needed to carry the responsibility by myself. So I'm glad.

I don't mind. I like knowing that my friends can take care of themselves.

So then maybe something like this won't happen again. You shouldn't have to do stuff like this on your own, though.

I guess I shouldn't, but I did. Though I think they're done with me for now, possibly even for good. At least I don't want to see their faces.
