7th pokeball

[ghostytrainer]

Characters: John Egbert and YOU
Setting: Meadow floor; March 1-3
Format: either
Summary: Followup to this post. John managed to catch the soul extraction process on tape. Not wanting to expose himself any more than necessary, he avoided sharing it on the network and instead put note in everyone's mailbox. Now he's waiting to see if anybody responds.
Warnings: Probably just language

[Just as his note detailed, John can be found in the middle of the meadow floor between 1pm and 4pm on March 1st-3rd.]

[Not wanting to waste any time, he decides to train his Litwick and Zorua while waiting for people to show up by pitting them against one another in a play-battle. Yeah...experience gainage will be a slow process this way. He'll have to go monster hunting later. His Dusknoir floats at his side, arms crossed over his chest as he watches over the fight.]

[Now hopefully anybody who's here about the tape will be able to recognize him based on the dumb little doodle on his note...]

March 3rd; Fashionably Late

[yougotthatwrong]

[...Well, he is curious about how it actually worked, apart from the shattered brain he got when the infodump happened, but hey, at least he's not that depressed to hide himself in his room.

The embarrassment from the flirt-tape last month though... But anyways, he's there and currently approaching you John.]

Ah, hey!

the best kind of late, let's face it.

[ghostytrainer]

[Oh hey! It's the kid from the library!]

Hey! Mmm...Nnn...Mmmaakoto, was it? [He promises he was paying attention during introductions. It's just been a crazy month, okay?]

[yougotthatwrong]

[It's still a bit awkward being called by his first name, but hey, that's how it worked in other countries, right?]

Yeah, you got that right, John.

[His name is John, right?]

[ghostytrainer]

[You can correct him, Naegi it's okay.]

Oh good! I've met a lot of people over the past month, see. Glad to see that I can keep names straight. [He laughs a little.] I'm guessing you're here about my note?

[yougotthatwrong]

Yeah, if you don't mind showing it to me.

[just in case the kid's running out of battery, you know.]

[ghostytrainer]

Wouldn't have offered if I did.

[The ways in which the 'gear recharge are a mystery even to the mun. Maybe it's a magic battery or maybe he recharges it with his Rotom. We just don't know. But after pulling the device out of his fannypack and bringing the video up on the screen, he hands it over to Naegi.]

Tap the screen to start and stop. Once the screen starts shaking you can turn it off, I left it running longer than I should have.

[yougotthatwrong]

Right.

[...There's this small bit of silence as Naegi gradually went from normal to looking slightly queasy by the end of the feed, even more as he just partway gave it back to John rather forcefully as he tried to hold his stomach in right now.

And he thought seeing his friend's dead bodies were enough to steel him from this.]

[ghostytrainer]

[John takes the 'gear back when Naegi offers it, flipping it shut and putting it back in his fannypack. He's silent for a moment, scuffing at the ground with a faded, flame-patterned shoe before speaking up.]

Pretty messed up, huh?

[yougotthatwrong]

That'd be the understatement of the year.

[He looks a bit green, just like the grass in the meadow, but then again, he's still just in shock from what he just saw.]

[ghostytrainer]

Yeah...with you there. You gonna be okay though? You're looking a little green...

[yougotthatwrong]

I just need. Some time to get it down to my stomach again.

[Urp. It's taking his all not to just puke in front of him.]
