[The video starts and there isn't anything all that unusual about it. Just the view of the natural countryside, definitely not anyone's house or the fond goodbyes of a mother. Instead, it's.... some asshole ruining the scenery of Johto.]

Okay, as nice as this is? I'm gonna call bullshit. Like, on the whole thing. This whole situation here.

Gonna need a couple things, one, someone to explain what the a actual fuck is actually going on. Two, where is my armor and my sword because I kind of need those back. [Nevermind it wasn't necessarily his armor in the purest sense of the word. But the mic picks up a low metallic mrrrrp? sound and Tucker wheels the camera around to show a disoriented view of himself, and a Honedge close by] And three, what the hell is that. I don't need it following me and it keeps backing away when I try to touch it to shoo it away.

God, look just. Church? Or Wash or Caboose, if you're out there, fuckin' answer me. Or Carolina and Kimball. Anybody, if Blood Gulch or Chorus mean anything, speak up. If you don't and I find out later you're here, I'll kick your asses.

[It almost looks like he's going to stop recording, but then thinks better of it.]

Hey also if someone knows the name or number of that chick in Woof City [New Bark Town], hook me up.

[Well, hello. Who's this?]

So, wait. Are you Red Team or Blue Team?

[dosomethingslacker]

[He takes a slow breath because hhhhholy shit that's a question he hasn't been asked in a long time.]

Pretty sure that hasn't mattered in like. Seven years. Or since I knew command was full of shit.

[ratherbelocky]

Ah, you must be Blue Team. Heard a lot about you guys from Carolina. The name's York. And I guess you're...Tucker, if you're not Caboose, right?

[Because he's not even going to think about who 'Church' might be.]

[dosomethingslacker]

Oh god, I'd kill myself if I was Caboose. No, you got Tucker right.

[Fucking christ what is Carolina saying about them???]

[ratherbelocky]

[Good things! ...Well, okay, hilarious things. Which are good things, in York's book.]

Nice to finally meet you, Captain. I'm one of Carolina's old teammates. Been nice to know she's found someone else to boss around in our absence.

[dosomethingslacker]

[Well he's glad Carolina at least respects him enough to give the proper rank.]

Oho, she doesn't boss me around. Pretty sure no one bosses me around at this point.

[THEY ALL COME TO A MUTUAL AGREEMENT OF A SHITTY PLAN AND WORK TOGETHER, DAMN IT.]

[ratherbelocky]

Oh, I didn't say you had to listen to her. You know her, though. She likes to be in charge.

[God, this guy is just leaking affection. How did he NOT actually get kicked out of PFL, this is disgusting, oh wait it's because he's competent.]

[dosomethingslacker]

[WOW. WOW!!! Tucker's competent, thank you! Who saved Chorus and outed Felix huh???

For real though York so far is not like any Freelancer he's run into. It's weird. Stop it.]

You know, I'm sure she's probably hearing this so I'm gonna keep my mouth shut? It'd be a shame if both of us got our asses kicked for this.

[ratherbelocky]

[Can't stop, won't stop.]

Point. So, hey, you gonna be skipping up our way or taking your time on the road? I gotta know how many hot dogs to buy for dinner.

[dosomethingslacker]

Guessing you're with Carolina then? Yeah, someone's helping me get that way.

[ratherbelocky]

I am. [In more than one sense of the word.] Call it sentimentality, but is it cool if I take a moment to thank you before you turn up? For taking care of her.

[dosomethingslacker]

[Ugh. Feelings, gross.]

I don't think we took care of her so much as 'let her threaten us into a suicide mission and then let her come back after she ran off when it was over'.

[If Carolina doesn't want them to know all this shit, she probably should have spoken up sooner.]

[ratherbelocky]

With Carolina? Same difference. She ever tell you about the time she had us all jump off an a hundred and ten story building as it exploded?

[dosomethingslacker]

Kinda concerning that's par for course for her. But gotta say, definitely sounds like shit she would do.

What state am I calling you?

[ratherbelocky]

New York. York works, though. Is just 'Tucker' fine? Most of us don't go by 'Agent' around here, either, if it helps.

[And by most, we mean everyone but Carolina.]

[dosomethingslacker]

[York --oh. Oh shit. That's the guy Tex was actually kind of on good terms with. That totally got killed by Wyoming. Tex being on friendly terms with anyone is a pretty big deal.

Does he... I mean, should he say something...? Um.]

Got it. And yeah just Tucker.

[Coward.]

[ratherbelocky]

Copy that. Well, Tucker, things being what they are, I imagine I'll be seeing you around soon enough. You got any other burning questions I can answer for you before you get here?

[dosomethingslacker]

[Should he go for it? Because like..... Endless multitude of questions here he could ask.]

Weird question, what's the last thing you remember?

[ratherbelocky]

[The abrupt change to this topic in particular gives York pause.]

Uhh. From before turning up here, I assume? ...Mostly getting shot in the chest by an old friend.

[Sooo, yes. He's aware.]

Carolina's filled me in on a lot of what happened after that, though.

[dosomethingslacker]

[At the very least, Tucker has the maturity now to at least sound less animated.]

Right.

Sorry, just uh. Heard about it from Tex [Tucker you were eavesdropping] so wasn't sure. Figured I'd ask.

[ratherbelocky]

Oh, that's right, Tex palled around with you guys, too.

[...]

How'd that go?

[How many people did she murder with her bare hands. How many empires crumbled. He must know.]

[dosomethingslacker]

I feel like that's a conversation best told over a lot of beers.

[Not great because boy York you don't even know, man.

You probably do but. You don't.]

[ratherbelocky]

There's a bar I like near the center of town. I'll buy.

[dosomethingslacker]

Got it.

Other question: how's the food here because I haven't had real food since before basic. If it tastes like shit, I'll go back to MREs.

[ratherbelocky]

Oh, dude, you don't even know. Dude, the food is made from actual foodstuff. You remember what fresh bread tastes like?
