001 ♟ Video | Action for New Bark/Early Route 29

[parkour]

[It's been a pretty busy day, spent mostly with reacquainting himself with everything in Johto; from the things as small as battle mechanics to gauging how much has really changed since he's been gone. Now it's late night, and Izaya's got no plans to fight every HootHoot on Route 29, so he's just sitting on the New Bark Town signpost. May as well use this time to make his presence known, right? Right! He turns of the video, a slightly smug smile on his face before speaking.]

July? Oya... how much time has passed! Really, I can't imagine - our captors must have been very bored if they decided to bring me back after so long! And here at the very beginning, no less. I wasn't even granted the privilege of a strange coma? Johto, I'm so disappointed.

But that's enough of that. Really, having to start over again is nothing short of troublesome. Now that so much time has passed, I have to ask -- Kachin, Rise-chan -- are you both still here? After all, I did ask you to keep watch of some very important belongings of mine these last few months. Once I arrive at Cherrygrove once again, I'd like to retrieve them, of course! [He points upward, grinning almost innocently.]

I have so much catching up to do, I'm sure! Old acquaintances gone! New ones to greet and see! I can't say I expected it... but this may just be a lot of fun.

[He pauses, letting out a flippant sigh.]

...Well, provided that a certain bartender hasn't made his way back as well. Although I'd think after his last misgivings, even the NPCs would give up on such a hopeless case.

Not that it's important.

Though I suppose I'll have to wait until I'm in Goldenrod once again to replace some of my other belongings. [You know. The chess board.] How troublesome.

[And with that, an abrupt cut of the feed. Now it was time to wait and see just who was still around who was of any interest to him.]

[parkour]

That's what I said, isn't it?

You sound like you've been here before...?

[Video]

[parkour]

That's right, that's right. Just over three months now, according to my calendar.

[serpensrex.livejournal.com]

You!

[There's a very irritated Commander on the other end.]

[Video]

[parkour]

Ah, Cobra Commander-sama!

Good to see you're as angry and boisterous as always.

... you know, there are chairs you could sit on instead of a sign post.

[action]

[parkour]

There are, but what would be the fun in that?

[photonsaber.livejournal.com]

--Ah. [wow, look who's here.]

Mr. Izaya! [her voice kinda broke because it's late at night and she was about to sleep, but yeah.]

[ video ]

[parkour]

[He looks a bit surprised, but smiles.]

Ah, Cocona-chan. Nice to see some familiar faces are still around.

[usedtsundere.livejournal.com]

...Wait, you're happy to be back?

video.

[parkour]

To some extent, you could say that.

[video]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Welcome back, Izaya.

[video]

[parkour]

Ah, Rika-chan! So many familiar faces still here in Johto, I see.

[Curious, since he could hear from hardly a few yards away, he starts to stand with a tilt of his head.]

You've been here before? [Sup, this 'old man' is a newcomer, and his purple Nidoran looks estatic not really about his new trainer.]

[action]

[parkour]

[Shrugging his shoulders nonchalantly. In the meanwhile, his Misdreavus is hovering, inching towards that Nidoran.]

That's right, that's right. For quite a while, at that.

[crimsondirge]

You left this place and returned with all memories intact?

[video]

[parkour]

That's right.

video.

[reveiller]

Oh? Somebody's certainly back with style.

video.

[parkour]

That's the only to come back, isn't it?

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

You look pretty excited about being dragged back here.

[video]

[parkour]

I may as well make the best of my situation, hm?

[video]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

You certainly don't sound very upset about being brought back.

[video]

[parkour]

There's no use in getting upset over things I can't control.

[video]

[usedsmackdown.livejournal.com]

If you left before why the hell are you back?

[video]

[parkour]

Because our captors don't give us very much of a choice, of course.

[Video]

[youhavemybat.livejournal.com]

You sure do like to talk a lot. Couldn't sit on a bench like a normal person?

[Video]

[parkour]

The view's much better from here.

[Video]

[youngforhisage.livejournal.com]

Oh? So this is your return trip, so to speak?

[Video]

[parkour]

It's exactly that, yes.
