[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.

[Dave might have started with a word of advice about Tucker's new ghost sword friend, but a name trips him up first.]

Carolina? Like, Agent Carolina?

[He gets a ding and nearly jumps out of his skin. God he hasn't used a phone or tech like this in years thanks to armor radios always being on.]

Oh holy shit, yes. Agent 'I'll Kick Anyone's Ass' Carolina.

Perma video on Dave's end

[The kid does this...thing with his body language: shoulders relaxed, chin tilted just enough as if, even though he's not actually smiling, to show he's happy to be able to help a dude get his bearings.]

Yeah, she's here. She lives up here in Goldenrod, though, and it looks like you're probably still back on the road out of New Bark or something. 'Sup?

I'm sorry sir, everyone's weapons and armor get taken when they arrive here. The only way to get them back is to leave, and no one knows how to do that on purpose yet.

[And in contrast to John 'Taking This Surprisingly Well' Egbert, we have... this gentleman.]

And that's a Honedge. It's one of what they call a Pokémon, everyone gets one when they arrive here. A Pokémon, I mean, not necessarily a Honedge. But Honedge can be very powerful! I have a few myself.

[dosomethingslacker]

Fantastic.

[But by his tone, that is the opposite of fantastic. There's the sound of a slow inhale before he speaks again.]

Okay then do you know how to get it to leave me alone.

[His ears pricked at "Church" and then again at "Wash" and "Carolina" so naturally the polar bear is going to turn on his 'Gear to see just who this is.

Of course, neither "Blood Gulch" nor "Chorus" ring any bells, so he's rather bemused by the whole thing.]

Stand down, soldier. This place is called Johto.

Now, I heard you mention Carolina and Wash. They wouldn't happen to be the same as Agent Carolina and Washington, would they?

[dosomethingslacker]

[Oh thank fuck, someone that doesn't sound like they're about to hit puberty. And is kind of familiar with what he's talking about. He's just assuming this is another Chorus soldier. Probably.]

Who the hell else would use states for names? Someone said Carolina was here and she was with Wash last time we split up. Heard from either of them?

[grapeeater]

You don't get your armor or any weapons from home here. You're not the only one who wants armor back.

[He has no advice on the sword. What the hell are Honedge even he just doesn't know.]

permavoice

[dosomethingslacker]

God and I just got that fucking armor! Rip off.

[Because why be mad in public when you can deflect it with shitty humor.]

[yanginthere]

You know, I miss my gear too, but yelling about it isn't going to bring it back. [ Sorry, she's just... sensitive to shouty, foul-mouthed people at the moment. But at least Ruby's not in earshot (and hopefully skipped right past this post, missy!!) so Yang's able to handle this kind of attitude. Mostly.

There's still some scowling involved. ] —also, that? [ Pointing. ] That's a Honedge. It's yours now. Buuuut I wouldn't go trying to use it as a sword if I were you.

[dosomethingslacker]

Who said anything about yelling? [Cussing and bad language though, yeah, he can't deny that one.]

What's the point of a sword if you can't swish stab with it?

[secondplacing]

Well, well well, look who it is.

I was wondering if you'd show up.

[Guess who got a cute haircut.]

[dosomethingslacker]

[It's cute sure not that he'd know it's different becaUSE SOMEONE'S NEVER SEEN CAROLINA WITHOUT HER HELMET ON HOLY FUCK.]

Hoooooly shit, Carolina.

[A beat.]

I knew you'd be hot. I love when I'm right.

[video]

[diosmio]

[Armor and sword? Buddy, are you some sort of knight?

...then again with that language, probably not.]

I'm afraid you won't be seeing any weapons or armor any time soon. You may have heard this already, but this world simply isn't fond of such things.

[This is all said rather matter of factly by him, Dio.]

[dosomethingslacker]

[AND THEN THERE'S THIS MOTHERFUCKER..............]

Yeah, got that spiel a couple times. Still a load of shit if you ask me.

So no weapons at all huh? Guns and swords out of the question?

[Voice]

[ratherbelocky]

[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.

[Ashley like skimming over newcomers. Like she's doing something important. So it seems like a lot of people are covering things with this guy, maybe he's found people he knows (did she spy York and North's IDs in there...?) and has questions answered, but there's one statement she just has to ask about and it is:]

Are...you really asking for the number of the woman who says she's everyone's mom?

perma audio

[dosomethingslacker]

Uh yeah?

So...

What you're saying is she's easy. That's cool, I'm down with that.

[Sorry Ashley, not everyone from the UNSC is a freelancer.]

[rosetotheoccasion]

[!!! Have an excited little girl practically crowding up her video's feed.]

Oh hey, I know one of those!! Or um. I don't know them. I've heard of Carolina! Carolina's one of the important people to Mister North!

perma audio

[dosomethingslacker]

[HAHA OH NO SHE'S TINY.]

Carolina's important to a lot of people sounds like. She got hold of me, no worries, kid.

I guess New Bark Town someone told me?

Kinda sick of the 'getting used to everyone's bullshit' schtick I've been doing for years.

video; 1000 years late with Starmiebucks

[usedglaciate]

You've probably heard this, but the sword's a Pokemon.

...also, really? 'Mom'?

perma voice; shows up even later

[dosomethingslacker]

Yeah, that's what I keep being told.

Hey, if that's how she introduces herself to a grown man, who am I to judge.
