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

[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.

[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?

Oh, I have no doubt you'll make the rainbow connection, Jake. And that's where you'll find us — the lovers, the dreamers, and me.

Lovers and dreamers?
Are you neither of those things carmen?

[...Cerulean City is his first thought for some reason.]

Maybe I'm both, and can't be confined to just one.

[Jake, no. Dirk is going to jump in here to save Jake's package from being lost to the wonders of the Pokemon world.]

We'll get it sent to Celadon.

This is your formal introduction, by the way. I'm Dirk. Carmen, yes?
Nice to meet you and other such pleasantries.
Sounds like Jake's told you a lot about me.

Its in celadon?
I was thinking cerulean!

What the hell else would the rainbow bit mean?

Well you can make rainbows with water and light.
Also the cape at cerulean is a popular spot for couples and dreaming has always been associated with the element of water right?
Or at least thats what ive read when i took a look at fortune telling.

You're over interpreting it. For once.
It just meant the badge.

Shucks i missed the obvious then.
Theres a reason i dont do that sort of thing.

[And yet he can get through the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time's Water Temple without even looking at a guide? This kid, man.]

[This kid indeed.]

Aren't these kinds of riddles a staple in adventure stories?
Better up your game, bro.

Depends on the adventure!
Most of the time its just logic puzzles and moving heavy objects onto switches to open doors.

A true challenge.

[They are just off to the best start, aren't they.]

[The best of starts.]

Some of it is a real challenge.
It just depends on how elaborate and complex the puzzles are.
And maybe a dash of being convoluted to the extreme at points.

And then there are the ones that just threaten to kill you.

Whats an adventure without a little danger?

Oh, I've heard plenty of interesting things about you, Dirk. If memory serves, I even reminded Jake of you at one point — it seems we have a certain amount of elusiveness in common.

And of course, congratulations to you, too, on the confirmation of your relationship.

[LOOK, AT LEAST SHE DIDN'T SAY "CONSUMMATION". WHICH SHE ALMOST DID.]

I doubt you managed to piss him off quite as thoroughly as I did.
If you're not careful, I'll start questioning your definition of interesting.

Thanks.

[It's a good thing she chose the word she did. Otherwise Dirk and Jake wouldn't have been able to look at each other for a while.]

Trouble in paradise? Or is Jake just fond of a fair amount of bickering in tandem with his affections?

If you live up to half the esteem he holds for you, I have no doubt he's in good hands.

No dirks just really good at that.
He has a talent for getting people riled up in a frothing frenzy or just slightly annoyed at the drop of a hat.

It was for your own good. You needed to stop being less gullible, and it definitely worked.

Is Jake the gullible sort? I hadn't noticed.

It wasn't until I mentioned the possibility that I might be lying to him to consider it.
For context: I was telling him about alien invasion and the destruction of the human race.

That's certainly a testament to his faith in you. He must value your word very much, to believe it so implicitly.

You can call it that.
Incidentally, that story I was telling him was the truth.

That aliens were on their way to subjugate and destroy the human race? Now I wonder if I should be concerned.
