mun's trying to flesh out his personality...

[palletless]

...

[Other hobbies? What other hobbies? He's the Pokemon Champion, he doesn't have time for that!]

...um.

[Okay, fine. Maybe there is one thing...]

...Pokemon dolls. Also, chess.

[There, is THAT better? ...more?!]

...slot machines...?

Comments

[palletless]

[Yeah well...your face

looks

like my face.

So, there.]

[ellipses]

[Whaaaaaaatever. He's seen worse.]

[Or he's going crazy.]

[Whichever is cool.]

[So he kind of inclines his head in your general direction. That's what you do to greet people, right?

SEE, HE HAS SOCIAL SKILLS. HE LEARNED THEM IN THE HEADSPACE]

[palletless]

[Likewise, Red tips his hat to...Red.]

... ... ...

[A proper civil greeting, even in the wilds of dear-mun!]

[ellipses]

[Oh, hat-tipping. That's a good one.]

...

[He kind of glances around a couple of times. He... he talked to someone, okay. Does he win a prize?]

[...No?]

[Oh damn, he has to continue the conversation. Well this is going to be awkward...]

[He pulls out a red marker and a pocket-sized notebook. He flips to the first page and holds it up to Red.]

Hi.

[palletless]

[Oh, that was a good idea. It was better than talking verbally- his voice wasn't very good anymore.]

... ... ...

[...but he lacked a notebook or marker, so he just gave an awkward nod, and ventured his voice.]

H, hi.

[ellipses]

[Well, thanks. It's not so much shyness, though, as it is...]

[...um, never mind.]

[Scribble scribble, squeak squeak.]

Name? Are you also Red?

[palletless]

[There's just a nod. He's not big on asking questions in kind.]

[ellipses]

[Red looks at him critically; to most people, it would look more unfortunately like he was glaring daggers, but this Red is just a severe kind of guy. Was he just another illusion? Possibly. If so, he was a very sick and twisted one.]

You speak?

[palletless]

[...that was a specific question.]

Yes. Sort of.

[ellipses]

[...]

[Red nods, offering no further comment.]
