[VOICE/TEXT/VIDEO; OPEN TO ALL]

"Well, my dear, it seems your timing is rather unfortunate, in terms of tracking me down - however, should you leave whatever information you deem appropriate, I'll get back to you eventually. Take note that videos or pictures shot from...flattering angles, shall we say, will likely be responded to far more quickly; I'm a rather busy man, all things considered, and I do have to prioritize my time~

Although I suppose that if you have something that's direly pressing to say, you had best get on with it; I haven't all day, you know."

There's a rather undignified huff and a quiet remark of "Reaver..." before Logan begins speaking - it seems he wasn't entirely aware of how quickly these devices start recording. Whoops.]

Where are you? Did you find yourself in some strange place as well?

[Clearly there's no time for pleasantries. Logan's voice sounds a bit strained; it's far too dark in here to text, though that would have been preferred. He'd really rather not deal with Reaver questioning him about his appearance - he's fully aware that he looks exhausted and rather horrible, all things considered. Being in a dark cave tends to do that when you're terrified of you know, dark caves.]

I would like to meet up with you again at some point.

[As fascinating at Kimblee is, he's pretty sure they could use a break from one another. Especially after dealing with Digletts and dark caves. He's still quite fond of Kimblee, of course! It's just that this whole thing has been rather tiring and he's fairly sure Kimblee needs to get back to his boyfriend...s... Logan has no idea what's going on there, to be honest.]

[12/04/2012 2:07 PM]

[Well, well! Look who it is; he hadn't expected to hear from you so soon. He seems in rather high spirits today, though admittedly he almost always does; you're getting video today, if for no better reason than that's just how he rolls.]

Good afternoon to you as well, Your Majesty; I wouldn't call it strange so much as incredibly convenient for my purposes - though if you intend to continue on this little badge challenge of yours, I'm certain our paths will cross eventually.

Where did you end up, anyway?

[AUDIO]

[decrees]

[He's not switching from audio, sorry about that. At least Reaver seems to be as... peppy as always... Honestly, he's not sure what he would do if Reaver wasn't this enthusiastic. But that's hardly the point.]

I'm in a cave.

[The amount of linefacing is obvious, even without the video.]

I haven't been able to get out of it just yet, but if the Pokémon are anything to judge by, it's that Diglett's Cave place just east of Vermillion, in Kanto.

[Studying the map was good for something after all! Still. He hates his E-rank luck so much right now.]

I imagine you're still in Johto?

[VIDEO FOREVER, OKAY]

[istheindustry]

I am, indeed.

[...although with what you've told him in mind, it might be best to act as though he gives at least a damn, right? Perhaps many damns, should the situation call for it; let's try one for now.]

Do tell me you haven't managed to get separated from those friends of yours in the process of winding up in this cave of yours.

[AND AUDIO FOREVER]

[decrees]

[Logan does relax a bit at that; he doubts that Reaver actually cares, but it's good that he's actually putting forth the effort of asking. He is tempted to reply with something along the lines of "would I be this coherent if I wasn't," but he keeps that little thought to himself. Besides, he doesn't need to let Reaver know that it's that bad.]

Kimblee is here with me. The Pokémon pose no threat here either.

[He's perfectly fine physically, in other words. His mental state is... well, it could be worse, let's put it that way.]

[istheindustry]

Somehow I didn't believe they would - nearly won that little tournament of his, didn't he? Being defeated by creatures in that cave would just be anticlimactic.

Although I suppose this goes a ways toward why you're calling, Your Majesty? Somehow I doubt it was just because you spontaneously decided to check in.

[decrees]

[It really would be...]

As I said, I would like to meet up with you again. I'll be returning to Johto to continue the Badge challenge as soon as we get out of this cave. Where are you?

[istheindustry]

I should be in Olivine City rather shortly; I assume that will work as well as anywhere else, given what it is you're trying to do?

[decrees]

[He pauses for a moment to think. Olivine has a Gym, and so does Ecruteak, if he remembers correctly. He'll arrive in Goldenrod and it should take him a little while for him to reach Olivine...]

That will work. Will you remain there to wait for me? It might take me a little while to get there.

[istheindustry]

That depends, I think - I assume this is for Carmen, or are you asking in regards to someone else?

text;

[doitrockapella]

I hear you've been talking to my Porygon.

video forever;

[istheindustry]

[Carmen, you are getting video because this is just how he rolls; tonight we're Skypeing hard, clearly.]

My, my - hello to you too, my dear.

And I may have been, from time to time - seeing as he's quite the talkative creature and all, I see no reason to not entertain us both.

text forever;

[doitrockapella]

[Not just because NO VIDEO EVER but because there is no way in hell she is giving you the satisfaction of letting you see her face right now, Reaver.]

Hello, Captain. I'm glad you've been entertaining Zack; he really does benefit from having a wide social network to draw on.

It's a shame I can't say the same about some of the ideas you've been putting into his head.

[istheindustry]

[Oh, he imagines as much; he would have been surprised if she'd done otherwise, really.]

And might I ask what you're referring to, exactly...? Clairvoyance isn't one of my talents, unfortunately.

[doitrockapella]

Did he come to you for advice about what to get me for my birthday?

[istheindustry]

Ah, so he did - how did that go, by the way?

[doitrockapella]

How much input did you have in his selection process?

[istheindustry]

[...wow, he can practically sense the HARRUMPH from here.]

Well, I can't really know that unless I know exactly what he purchased. There were certainly suggestions, but I have no way of knowing how much of it he took into account. Again, that lack of clairvoyance and all.
