Back from canon update & hiatus [video]

Geez, I've got such a headache. Anyone know how long it's been? Or where the hell the chibi brat in a straw hat is now?

[Smoker's outside of the pokecenter to get a smoke, and all his pokemon are practically clinging on him. It has been since about Christmas after all. Even his gyarados is practically on top of him, though he seems pretty nonplussed about it.]

What month is it anyway? Hey. Anyone who's returned home, what's the longest anyone's gone and come back?

Tsk... I need a drink

[It should also be noted he has sunglasses, a cool new scar over his eye, and his hair isn't spiky anymore! How sad. And <user name="justicereigns" is still my icon and comment account! Sorry for the delay, all.]

Quite a bit. I got stationed in the New World at G5, as I requested. That place is insane.

[Oh. God. More. bugs. Always with the bugs. He's just going to keep very cool-faced about the spider up in the screen and aw... it's almost cute for a tick-looking thing with way too many eyes.] Huh. You know... thanks Roxas, I think I know where Straw Hat is here.

[seasaltkeys]

What's it like?

[And it's electric to! Roxas is very fond of it.]

...You do? I haven't seen him recently.

He said he was going to try and steal Whitney's miltank so he could eat it.

[He tried to talk him out of it.]

Did I tell you about some of the islands on the Grand Line before? The ones in the New World are fifty times worse. There's lightning rain, invisible cliffs, an island of giants... And the men I have to work with from G5 are incompetent pyromaniac slobs. They torture criminals if I turn my back on them for a second, hit on my second in command and have no sense of discipline. [He's almost proud of them =\ Except they're still so infuriating to work with. Also Smoker totally has Gandalf in his crew. It just needs sharing.]

Yeah, knowing Straw Hat, wherever the most bug infested, disturbing place in Johto is? That's where he'll be. Ilex Forest has a lot of bugs right? And it's near Goldenrod so...

[Silence.... then a face palm.] That sounds like him. Someone did stop him from trying, right? [He... hopes?]
