[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.

no subject
Theyre worth raising thats for sure but....
Hows her gallade holding up now?
Haha...i could use with some laughs in the future so ill take anything silly you throw at me!
Thanks john.
Really?
Dirk had the opposite reaction. Huh.
She must really like you in glasses!
[Engberts are forever whipped by their significant others, this is a universal constant.]
no subject
he was a wreck right after she left though, poor guy.
they were really close, since he was her lucky capture and all.
no prob.
i can't imagine why she does but yeah, that seems to be the case.
though to be honest, i am not sure if i could actually deal with contacts.
something about the idea of touching your own eyeball just...jadfkldsjf.
twitchy heebie jeebies.
no subject
Oh dear.
I suppose i just dont have that problem.
[Jake, that's because you're desensitized by the whole thing after being on Murder Death Island for so long.]
Still to each his own!
I can always go back to glasses if the contacts dont work very well in the end.
Whats olivine like by the way?
Hopefully not like goldenrod because i *REALLY* dont want to get lost in another city again!
no subject
it's not as big as goldenrod, no. still kinda big though?
but it's a seaside city with a nice beach. so it's really nice at this time of year and i guess in the summer if you are into sweltering heat waves.
it has some of the prettiest fucking sunsets though. and the lighthouse is kinda cool.
watching said sunsets FROM the lighthouse is particularly choice.
all in all, it's not a bad city. rose wants to get live there when we are older.
or she did, idk if she's changed her mind on that particular issue or not.
no subject
I have had an interest in taking a tour of the lighthouse while were there.
Haha you might have me as a neighbor if i like it enough!
Im not all that impressed with cianwood honestly.
Not sure about cinnabar yet so ill withhold judgment until ive explored all of kanto too!
no subject
have you been to the safari zone as long as you're there?
that's pretty neat. but yeah, other than that there's just not a whole lot there.
we didn't stay long when we were there.
you guys will be heading over this way when you're done with kanto, right?
maybe we can all meet up at one of the beaches this summer or something.
that would be pretty neat.
no subject
Ill surely have to take a look around before we leave.
Oh yes thatd be the bees knees!
Itd be nice to meet up with you guys again!
no subject
there are all sorts of things to catch in there.
though it's not as straightforward as just going onto a route. they turned it into a bit of a game.
we will have to see where everybody is once summer hits so we can plan accordingly.
no subject
Im over halfway done with the badges here after all!
By the by hows your badge collecting coming along?
no subject
i only need three more but unfortunately they are the three clear on the other side of kanto and we are kind of trying to pull a nintendo here and go through the cities in some vague sense of order.
well...ok that's not entirely true since technically viridian is right here next to pewter. i could have hopped down there and challenged blue but that would mean leaving everybody else for a few days or dragging them all with me and potentially being an inconvenience.
and since this is more a sightseeing and bonding experience than a badge hunt, i don't really want to do that.
plus i kind of want to save blue for last. i may not have gotten my badges in order but something just seems weird about skipping all the way to the end.
so it will probably be a while before i make any more progress. we are leaving for cerulean tomorrow and then we will probably hit saffron from there and i already have both of those so i will just go be everybody's cheer squad instead.
no biggie, i am not really in any rush to finish my badge collection just yet.
