Already applied to route_29! And mun's still worrying.

[kingofbelheir]

Mun.

I appreciate the effort you're making towards perfection.

But maybe you should calm down a bit? You've already submitted the application, after all.

I'm sure it'll be fine.

It seems pointless worrying is a player's specialty.

[kingofbelheir]

I'd have to agree with you, on that.

...Know of any way to calm them down?

[...he's new to this mundane thing.]

[dragonkind]

If they aren't completely beyond listening to reason, a few stern words are the only option. I wouldn't count on favourable results if I were you.

[At least Kazuya has some progress and prospects to his name. That's always nice.]

[kingofbelheir]

I don't think that'd work. Might just have to wait until he levels out.

Hopefully, that happens before the application he sent in is processed.
A week and a half of having him fuss about uncontrollably probably wouldn't be pleasant.

[it'd probably be nicer if his mun stopped flailing like a fish out of water]

[dragonkind]

How unfortunate. [It's insincere, but it's something.]

Think of it as a trial of patience. If you can handle a bothersome mundane for a mere week and a half, then you should have nothing to worry about.

[kingofbelheir]

[He... totally caught that insincerity, there. Gee thanks, guy. :|c]

I'll give just bearing it a try, then.

Thanks for your input.

[...it's not really as though there's an alternative, kaz]

[babel_hacker]

Don't worry about it, Kaz's mun!

[Atsuro would be happy to see his best friend in Johto. But a part of him wonders what Kaz would think. He did grow a little there, after all.]

In which I'm up at 5AM: YEAH SLEEP PATTERNS \o/

[kingofbelheir]

[Atsuroooooo--!]

Glad you're here to encourage, Atsuro!

[and because he totally doesn't want this conversation to end just yet is pretty curious]

How's life over at Route?

[And... he'd probably be disoriented if Atsuro was taller then he remembered. If only for a little while]

GO TO SLEEP

[babel_hacker]

Over at Johto? Other than a few bumpy things, it's pretty great!

[Yes, there's some horrible experiences and dealing with his friends leaving without warning. But he won't forget all the good times as well.

Kaz would probably notice Atsuro is a little taller than before.]

BUT I AM NOT TIRED

[kingofbelheir]

I'd hope so.

[...Kaz and Atsuro used to be a near equal height.

and now he's having to tilt his head slightly to look at Atsuro's face-]

...How long have you been there?

[unspoken subtext: you've gotten tall. taller then me. atsuro how could you betray me like this.]

CLOSE YOUR EYES.../vroom

[babel_hacker]

Over a year. Long enough to went through two birthdays.

[Due to timing and mun finding out his birthday far too late. So yeah, Atsuro? Is now 19 years old.]

TATSUYA WHY DO YOU SAY THAT LINE SO SEDUCTIVELY FFFFF

[kingofbelheir]

Wha-

...Two birthdays?

[...okay wow KAZ IS SURE GOING TO HAVE A HARD TIME CATCHING UP...]

That's... quite a bit of time. And you haven't had anyone else from the lockdown stick around-?

[ There's a lot of pity in his heart for you Atsubro ;n; ]

WHY NOT

[babel_hacker]

You, Naoya, Yuzu, Midori and Keisuke used to be there. Even that weird gigolo as well. But now it's just me.

[One by one, they leave Johto. It hurts, but he still forges on.]

BECAUSE YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL ENOUGH ALREADY TATSUYA ;A;

[kingofbelheir]

[...sadface for a moment.

excuse him he's just gonna

stand up a bit straighter, reach up-

and pat Atsuro on his head. god dammit atsuro stop being taller, he used to be able to just reach up and headpat without the straightening up]

I'll keep the mun from making me leave at all, then.

After all, I can't imagine how lonely that is.

[babel_hacker]

[He blinks at the headpat, before smiling. make him kaz, he'll always be taller now]

Thanks, Kaz. I have my other friends and my Pokemon, but...it's rather lonely.

[Because it's Kaz, Atsuro can easily admits to it.]

I'll just be waiting for you, even if I don't know yet over there.

[kingofbelheir]

[noooooooooooooooo]

I'll be there as soon as I can.

[aka, as soon as the app cycle comes back around -- dammit mun why would you miss that]

And I won't let you down.

[because kaz cannot bear to see frowns on atsuro's face. or yuzu's. or anyone's really. if he can help it.

...have another headpat, also.]

Just keep on surviving until I arrive, alright?

[babel_hacker]

Don't worry, I'll keep on surviving. After dealing with the lockdown, I'm prepared for survival.

[At least the Pokemon aren't out to kill them.]

Just so you know, whenever you get there? I'll come to you.

[kingofbelheir]

[You have gotten the biggest grin on his face, Atsubro, at that last bit.]

Try and make sure you tell me that when you see me.

Otherwise, I'll probably try and rush my way to you.

[...He'd do it, too.]

[babel_hacker]

You gotta be prepared for that, Kaz. I rushed once and it really tired me out afterwards.

[kingofbelheir]

You say that like it'll stop me.

[Atsuro, I don't think you understand how worried he's going to be about you-]

[babel_hacker]

Nah, it won't stop you. But it's a heads up.

[Just you wait until you find out everything that happened to Atsuro.]

[kingofbelheir]

Heh. Thanks, then.

[Man, knowing that will just make him try and keep the rest of Atsuro's time there from being shitty.]

It looks like the weekend check date's approaching.

[He will be there soon, Atsubro.]

[babel_hacker]

I can't wait. You and mun just have to wait a little longer.

[kingofbelheir]

Yeah.

I can't wait, either.
