[Video] 10th Page | Filtered Heavily From: Jane and John (Backdate: March 6)

[hoperaider]

[Looks like Jake is contemplating on his four badges when the feed turns on. He glances up at the camera and frowns a little.]

It's a while yet before I challenge the next gym, but what's Olivine's Gym like? I've gathered that she uses Steel-types, and I've got Pokemon with the type advantage. I guess what I want to know is if there's any on her team I should watch out for?

[After his battle with Morty, he's gotten pretty cautious about these Gym Leaders.]

Oh! And I know it's a while off, but John and Jane's birthdays are April 13th! I'm not sure where the party will take place until it gets closer to the date, but it'd be ace if friends of theirs could make it for the celebration! However, I want to make it a surprise party for them, so if we could keep it on the down low, that would be exceptionally helpful.

[Filtered to: Dave, Bro, John, Rose, Jade, Terezi, Val, Other Father, Aradia, Sollux, Karkat, Kanaya, Dirk, Carmen(?)]

[He's...kind of nervous about this, wow. It's like facing both immediate and extended family and...wow scary.]

A couple of you might not care much, but I thought I'd include you in on it anyway. Dirk, too, so he can jump in whenever like the ninja he is. Um...sooo...Dirk and I are dating. [Blasted blush go away.] As of today, in fact. That's a thing that happened. ...yeah.

[Filtered to: Jane; Backdated to before this went up because Jake's mun forgot all about cause and effect]

Um. Can we talk? Face-to-face? Somewhere?

Everyone. Watch out for everyone. Bring your strongest, even if some of them aren't strong to Steel-types, and cover Ground and Electric too.

[Sollux has fought Jasmine before, and she was a PAIN. IN. THE. ASS.]

[He makes no comment about the dating.]

[hoperaider]

[Yes, well, Jake figures Sollux won't care about the dating thing. Probably a good thing in the long run.]

Is she that strong?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Olivine?

It's a snap if you have Fire types.

Just watch out for the Steelix if you're relying on them. The Ground type is a bitch.

[Video]

[hoperaider]

Steelix? I don't think I've come across one before.

[doitrockapella]

Congratulations, Jake. Does this mean I can look forward to a formal introduction sometime soon?

[hoperaider]

I could ask him right now if thats ok?

[It's almost like the "mom meets boyfriend" scenario. Or is it exactly like it? Jake doesn't even know.]

[video]

[razputin]

It's Johns birthday soon? Well, I'm not missing it this time!
[Raz has a bit of a forced smile on - he's not fine talking about the years he missed, but whatevs.]
But as for Jasmine, I seem to remember both C and S got quite a bit of action in that battle - but her team might have changed over the years I was gone.

[video]

[hoperaider]

Ace! I'll be sure to send you the location of the party when we figure out where he'll be around then. Oh, I'm Jake English, by the way!

[Blink blink.]

You remember Johto and all that business despite being gone? I thought we lost all recollection of it if we disappeared and came back.

[Action]

[shippingmath]

[Dirk comes up just as Jake is finishing, and after a moment of hesitation, rests an arm on Jake's shoulder.]

You're pretty quick to announce this.

[Action]

[hoperaider]

[He grins at Dirk.]

Well, they kind of need to know, so I figured it would be better to get it done ASAP.

[And now he sighs.]

The hard part is what to tell Jane.

[video; first bit is filtered from John and Jane and second bit is filtered to Jake]

[eclectical]

A surprise party for them sounds like a great idea! I will be there for sure.

And congratulations! I hope the two of you will be very happy together.

[hoperaider]

[He grins at Jade.]

Great! We'll have to figure out a cake for them. Er, well, maybe not quite a cake for John, since I don't think he's a fan of it?

[ohgod blushing]

Haha, thanks, Jade. I'm glad you approve!

[video]

[brokenmemories]

John's birthday's coming up? I hope I'll be back in Johto by then. Wouldn't want to miss his birthday.

If the gym leader uses steel types, maybe you could use other types other than fire in case of ground type moves. Other than that, I have nothing. Sorry.

[video | Filtered]

[hoperaider]

I'm not sure if it'll be Johto or Kanto. It depends on where everyone is when it's closer to April.

No problem! Perhaps I should see if they have weaknesses other than fire. I heard from Sollux that she has a Steelix, which is apparently steel/ground?

[He smiles at Misaki, though.]

How are you doing, by the way? I haven't checked in on you in a while, and I apologize for that. Things got crazy with the breeders' con. [Among other things.]

[moveslikestrider]

[Oh Jane. Well, he knows what he'll be doing later.]

yeah i know its his birthday coming up
i keep track of that shit to the dot
pretty much assumed it was janes too because we all seem to weirdly match up
what is even with that
maybe its because the universe flipped over and needed stable points
ok ignore that bit time shit being factored there

anyway hard to keep it on the downlow when you just announced it

congrats

[You might have wanted to do this way less publicly considering Jane's feelings, is left unsaid. For now. Because maybe they did talk about it before.]

[hoperaider]

[There are so many irons in the fire, Dave, he just wants this done all at once. It's been cooking for three months.]

I filtered it from john and jane so as long as we zip our lips then it should be just fine right?

[Oh, Jake, your faith in humanity....]

Ok i can ignore that.
Ill admit the time stuff makes my head spin more often than not.

Thanks.
Um.
This. Might be really odd coming from me but.
If jane heads over to kanto would you do a big favor and look out for her while shes there?
I mean i know she can handle herself exceptionally well on her own but.
Shes my best friend and i worry about her sometimes and i dont think she should be alone in kanto.
Of course this is saying jane does go to kanto...

[searsblindly]

Congratulations on your human mating! I guess? I don't know why I should care so much though and why you seem to be acting so nervous about it! You do sound nervous, I hope you realize!

Also, yes! The human birthday celebrations. I feel like this comes up more often than it really should. Like we can't escape this date at all.

[hoperaider]

Ahaha...it's only because I'm not sure how well the news will be taken? But now you know, even if you don't care, and I thought it best to include you in on the business.

It comes up once a year. The beginning of December is far more hectic since six of us have birthdays during that time!

[Welp.]

[Totally calling Jane here in about 30 seconds.]

I'm almost done with my shift at the department store,

[brbmakingfriends]

Two birthdays coming up?!

[hoperaider]

Yep! And on the same day! April 13th is their birthday.

[He doesn't know this girl, but she's so invited. Just because.]

[ It's some time after the broadcast that Valeria replies, her priority having been contacting Jane immediately upon hearing that Jake and Dirk were dating. Is she happy for her boys? Of course, but she was, is worried about Jane given the situation. Now that she has, she's settling down with the Gear to reply, this time with audio as opposed to video. ]

Steel types, hm? Let me know what you find out. More importantly, though, I want in on this surprise party. [ No, Jake, don't let her and -- ]

Dating, hmmmmm? [ -- and there's the tone. Run. ]
