Back from canon update & hiatus [video]

[smokinghunter]

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.]

[forhishappiness]

Welcome back, Smoker.

[ She smiles a bit. ]

[ video ]

[justicereigns]

Thanks Ur. Everything going okay?

[Must not ask about Luffy... Must not ask about Luffy.] Seen the brat? [Fail.]

[seasaltkeys]

It's february. Almost March really.

[That's about all he manages to get out because Smoker he has not seen you in a long time and he was worried.]

[justicereigns]

Geez... That long? Hn... Thanks Roxas.

Did I miss anything interesting?

[ video ]

[uuing]

Uu-, for Maria's friends it's sometimes been months before they came back!

[ ... headtilting a little here.. ] Are you feeling thirsty?

[complexrestart]

Smoker!

[She was starting to worry that he had left, so she's excited to see him.]

[video]

[used_fireblast]

I was gone a couple months before I got back.

[Or six months, back home. He tries not to think about that TOO much beyond 'weird time stuff'.]

Just about March here, now.

[ video ]

[justicereigns]

Good to know. Any idea how much time passed in their world while they were away?

Hn... yes... thirsty.

[justicereigns]

Hey Rika. Good to see you again.

[video]

[justicereigns]

How much time back in your world? [Oops.]

March already? Tsk... I don't even want to think about much trouble he could have caused while I was away.

[seasaltkeys]

I was starting to wonder where you went.

But no, you didn't really. Just a song that put everyone in a good mood, and some new pokemon eggs.

Re: [video]

[used_fireblast]

...about six months, give or take.

[Time stuff takes a lot of power. That someone can yank people out of space and time into Johto is worrying, to say the least.]

He? The kid in the hat? ...You really think it could be worse than what Johto does on its own?

[complexrestart]

It's good to see you as well.

You were home for a long time. It's almost March now.

[ video ]

[uuing]

I'm not sure. Maria's friends didn't remember this place at all when they returned.. It's really weird, isn't it?

Then you should get a drink, uu-! Apple juice is re-ally good!

[justicereigns]

Back home for two years. Well, two years my world's time.

A song? What egg did you get?

[ video ]

[justicereigns]

Not at all? Damn. I forgot that could happen.

Yeah, I guess I could go for a brandy.

[justicereigns]

That long?

Hn. I guess I should expect it, it was two years in my world.

How is everyone? Are your pokemon doing well?

[video]

[justicereigns]

Hn. Duly noted. How long passed here during that time?

You don't know Straw-Hat like I do. [Says "Straw-Hat" one worded and like a title or name.]

[ video ]

[uuing]

.. Uu-.. 'damn'? [ teaching little kids how to curse, good job, Smoker. ]

And what's a brandy? Is it some kind of apple juice?

[ video ]

[justicereigns]

[He's the best.]

Darn. Did I say something else? [Damn again. He's had 2 years of not being around kids, it's weird to remember Johto is almost 90% children.]

It's a type of alcohol made with apples.

[seasaltkeys]

A lot must have happened then. [Judging by looks at least.]

Yeah, a bunch of pokemon were singing it. But to answer your question, I got a joltik.

[Holding up his tiny spider]

[justicereigns]

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.

[ video ]

[uuing]

[ role model. ]

Don't know.. [ at least kids easily forget and all. ]

Maria's never had alcohol before, uu-! Mama said it wasn't good for Maria.

[ video ]

[justicereigns]

[The worst best.]

Right, your liver wouldn't be big enough to process the alcohol yet. [Sure, that's one reason...]

Re: [video]

[used_fireblast]

One or two months. Dunno if that was actual time-travel or just time passing at different rates.

[Chewing his lip a little. This is something he's put a lot of thought into figuring out.]

...Wait, don't tell me. This is the part where I say something like 'how much damage can one kid do' and then something explodes, right? I've seen this movie.
