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

[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.]

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

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

I don't know about fun, but there would sure be less wood digging up your ass for your effort.

It's really not a bother to me. I'm good at balancing comfortably.

Or you just have a thing for sitting in weird places!

Perhaps! How silly of me to have never thought of that.

And then I'll find you sitting on a rooftop like some brooding superhero...

I don't think I'd look so good with a cape and a bat-mask.

... yeah, you don't have the build for it.

No, no. I really wouldn't want to look like the pathetic sidekick.

Heeeeh... You look more suited towards the villain angle anyway.

I'm hurt! Really, that's very harsh.

It's your eyes, man. Those are totally the kind of eyes that scream you're up to no good or just a really sneaky dude.

I'm hurt, really! So, so cruel--

Haha! Don't worry man, it's not like somebody will toss you into a cell or lock you up based on your eyes!

Really, Johto's jailing system can be unpredictable. Anything is possible.

... for real?

Then again, with everyone having monsters at their beck and call...

And yet the simplest things can land render you a fugitive.

... you aren't on the run or something, are you?

I've only just arrived. I'm really not out to set a record for fastest crime committed!

That's good, since I'd have to stop you if you were!

That's rather noble of you!

It's normal! No real man would just sit by and watch a crime be committed if he could stop it.

I'm not so sure of that. It really depends on where you come from.

... no real man who has a sense of justice somewhere in his soul.
