[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?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Yeah.

[He won't mention the agreement he and Jane came to before Jake made his decision, but he'll be giving Jane a call himself, in a few days.]

As long as she doesn't go off on her own.

Mm.

[Jake's been thinking about that, too.]

Well, if she goes to Kanto, we have a lot of friends over there who can take her under their wings?

I bet they will. She and John've gotten close, haven't they? And she and Dave bonded while they were traveling, too.

I don't think Jade and Rose and Bro would have any problems with her being part of the group, either.

[After thinking about it like this, he's really not all that worried about Jane going to Kanto, now.]

I guess there's not much sense in worrying about it to the ground, huh?

Hmm. [Probably not. Dirk will worry about it anyway, of course, but privately.]

Yeah, let's not focus on it. Time for a distraction, and shit.

[Reasons why Dirk is the mother hen of the group.]

What sort of distraction do you have in mind?

[His hair probably also has something to do with the 'hen' part.]

Remember that date I mentioned?

[Well. No comment.]

Of course. Hard to forget since I'm still in suspense over it!

C'mon, then. Follow me.

[And with no more explanation than that, he'll grab Jake's hand and start to tug him along.]

[Jake will follow along, and after the momentary surprise, he returns Dirk's grip on his hand. At least he knows better than to ruin the surprise by asking questions.]

[Even if he did ask questions, Dirk would just drop hints and not actually say something.

Seriously, though where are they going? Dirk's going to walk to the other side of the city, at this rate.]

[Jake can't take it.]

Dirk, where on heaven and earth are you taking me?

Somewhere around Goldenrod, obviously.

[And being insufferable all the way, of course.]

"Somewhere." Do you know where you're going?

[Insufferable is synonymous with Strider, after all.]

Give me some credit here, Jake. Like I'd just head out without a plan.

There's always a first for everything, Dirk.

[He grins, teasing.]

Maybe so, but I'm not going to wing it for the first time here.

We're almost there, anyway.

Really? Where?
