parkour | 004 ♜ Video | Action for Goldenrod

[Rather than seeing Izaya when the video turns on, the scene seems a bit... different. Perhaps because what you're seeing a video of is the train overpass that runs through Goldenrod's main route. It remains focused there - occasionally a leaf or some Pidgey will work their way into the shot, but it's very steady.]

[Those who pay attention, or those who know him, will recognize Izaya's voice when he begins to speak.]

Johto never really has been known for being progressive, hm? When I arrived in Goldenrod City nearly a year ago, these tracks were barren. The station was empty. And still, to this day, it's not operational. It's been just about a year and a half since many started to arrive here -- yet, there's not solid way to get to Kanto, either.

Perhaps the programmers are still working out the glitches! I guess having someone perpetually stuck in Glitch City, Kanto wouldn't be to ideal for them! [He laughs, clearly entertained with his own meta. He stops abruptly, continuing his rambling thought. Or is it really rambling?] There's so many options, or at least, there should be. There's a port city in both regions - or did they forget to program the bodies of water to connect?

Maybe even other regions entirely! After all, there should be other equivalents, right? Kanto mirrors Kanto, Johto mirrors Kansai. I wonder what will be next. Kyushu? Hokkaido! Chubu! Chugoku! The options could even be limitless if they expand their horizons.

Curious.

This world is always so very curious.

Of course, that's what makes it so endearing. I love it! I love the people in it! I can't wait to see what happens next!

[Some more laughter, and once he's exhausted that, he shifts the camera focus to his face, smiling wide.]

Maybe someone would like to sneak on the tracks, rebellious. Walk them -- see how far it takes you! After all, you shouldn't have to have the worry of being hit by the moving train.

[And with that, he switches the feed to a private call to

usedpatience]

Saki-chan, I'd like to speak with you when you have moment. I have something of a proposal for you.

[Those who are in Goldenrod are free to run into him, be it there or at the department store, where he'll be getting supplies for an impromptu trip to Violet City.]

That's right. I figure you've had enough time to settle that we can properly talk now.

[She looks a little amused.] You're right, Izaya-san. As usual.

[Chuckling a little at that before moving on.] Do you have plans for your stay here in Johto as of yet?

[She shakes her head.] Not yet. For now I'm settled with traveling and getting to the larger cities first.

I see, I see. [He pauses, thoughtful.] I think I may have something that can help, then.

[As expected of Izaya-san, Saki thinks.]

Oh? You've made me curious.

I could set you up with an apartment in Goldenrod City, free of charge. [In terms of monetary value, that is.]

[Oh. That kind of plans... Saki's not sure how to feel about that. Especially since nothing with Izaya is ever completely free.]

Mm, that sounds quite tempting. [...] Can I think about it for a while?

Of course, of course. I'm only looking after you, after all. [Though he refrains from saying just why without prompt.]

[She smiles, slightly, not really sure how she should feel about it.]

That's kind of you, Izaya-san.

Someone has to look after you. Can you imagine how Masaomi-kun would react if he arrived and learned that I didn't at least try?

That's not something either of us really needs, after all.

Mm... Better to make sure he won't have any reason to be upset, right?

[Well, Saki's going to do her best and not get too involved in Izayas ideas, at least.]

Right, right. After all, there's no telling just how he may react.

[He could run away again, of course. Wouldn't that be just terrible?]

Hopefully we won't have to find out, if he does arrive.

He hasn't been seen here in over the course of a year; it's entirely possible he may never arrive.

[That's... not a reassuring thought.]

Well, Johto might surprise us. It did when I arrived, right?

Of course~ That's one of the more interesting things about being here, after all.

I suppose you're enjoying all the twists a lot. [It's not a question. Just an assumption.]

[He's just going to chuckle in response. It's not surprising she knows this much, after all.]
