[Text/Action for Cianwood] 12th Page
[Jake makes a habit out of cooking breakfast for anyone interested in their travel party. Mostly because he wants to make sure they get at least one good meal before accidentally skipping out on lunch or having dinner at odd hours of the night. It's why he's entering Dirk's room, now, without preamble.]
Dirk! Are you going...to....
[He trails off, frowning. Dirk's not in his room anymore. However, there is something on Dirk's bed and he walks over to investigate.
A strange numbness takes over when Jake sees that it's his boyfriend's sunglasses. Dirk would never leave those here, unless....
He checks his Gear. No. No no no no no. Jake double--no, triple checks it.
Nothing. Only Bro Strider and Dave Strider.
Jake's not sure when or how he got to a secluded part of the island, but he's not caring. The shock wears off when he reaches there, and he can't help feeling angry and bitter and guilty and heartbreaking sorrow crash over him in an unrelentless flood. First it was Roxy. Then it was Jade. Now....
His anger is quickest to run out as he takes it out on the boulders and rock walls until his knuckles are bloody and he can't feel his feet. He sits down and leans against the rock wall, not caring about his injuries, and just gives in to weeping.
Some hours later, he returns to Dirk's old room and takes out his Pokegear. Jake can't stand video or voice at the moment, so text is the best choice.]
Dirk has gone home.
I suppose now i understand what they meant by these things coming in threes.
Im getting contacts in olivine i believe.
I kind of promised dirk i would and at least i wont have to worry about breaking my contacts as much as my glasses.
Er this saying olivine *has* an optometrist i could go to?
Ive not been there since we went straight to cianwood after prom.
[God, don't think about prom, don't think about prom.]
Whomever received dirks pokemon...
Please take good care of them.

Oh Jake...
[On top of that entire wake up experience, and now Dirk is.. gone? She just saw him a few days ago, just smiled again at that birthday wish in her voicemail, and it was too soon. It would always be too soon though, wouldn't it?
Jane dials him after a few minutes; this requires interacting with more than words, and she can't just go to him and hug him and tell him things will be okay.]
I wondered why Huggy Bear and Repel showed up, so I suppose that answers that question. Um, are you.. No, that's a dumb question. Jake, I.. I don't know what to say really. I'm sorry, is all I can come up with.

Jake doesn't look too great, understandably enough. He's hoping she'll not worry about it, but....]
I'll be alright. It just...got a little too much. Losing Jade and Dirk at roughly the same time, I mean.
[Gods, gods, if he loses Jane, too...he won't know what to do if that happens. And with Dirk's disappearance, that has become a highly terrifying prospect. He doesn't want to be alone without his three best friends like he was when he first came to Johto.]
I'm...sorry, too. That I had to deliver the bad news.

No, don't be sorry. It's alright; I'd rather you told me anyway. It's.. [Jane bites her lip, lowering her eyes before closing them to gather her thoughts.] I am just so sorry. Here I've gone and put myself so far away that I can't even.. it's like talking through the computers again. All I can do is tell you to put your arms around yourself and squeeze as tight as possible and say that it's me.

The sentiment's still there, and that's enough for me, Jane. I can cope. It's just....
[He sighs.]
Jane, if he comes back without his memories of this place...what on heaven and earth am I going to tell him? Especially if he's from roughly the same time you are? I mean, from the sound of what you told me, things between us weren't the best.
