016 [Video | Texts | Action for Goldenrod]

[miniworth]

[The feed turns on early on Monday morning, and hey - it's Miles. He hasn't been posting anything much the past couple of weeks, has he been? He... appears to be aware that the Gear is on, but he's not looking at it at the moment. Instead, there's Remus, his Plusle, wrapped snugly in the ends of his blue scarf, waving cheerfully at the camera.

 

And then you'd notice that he's... sitting somewhere rather high up. In fact, why does the city seem like it's so far away?

---Oh. Right. It's because he's sitting on the roof of the Goldenrod Hotel.]

[He stares out at the dawning city for a few seconds before, without turning to actually look at the camera, he addresses it.]

It's already been ten days since the New Year, but I was wondering... what year is it here, at least according to the Christian calendar?

[He then turns to finally look at the camera, and that's when you'd notice that he looks - as usual - tired and... perhaps sadder than usual? This weekend had been very tiring for him and his friends, after all. He was still sick, that fever was persistent... and he probably should be resting, but he had to get out at one point. Which was why he's here, seated on the edge of the rooftop, looking out at the city.

He gives the camera a small smile.]

What year was everyone born in, by the way? My birthday was in 1992, but I suppose there are a lot of people from different times here in Johto.

[And he blinks a couple times, yawns, and with a muttered "maybe I should sleep" he reaches over and turns off the video.]

I know I should have contacted you earlier, Phoenix, and I'm sorry, but... I'm all right. I'm with Merlin right now, and Ken.


...Perhaps you've heard from Ken already, but I promised I'd contact you when he woke up. He's fine now, Mr. Shinjiro.

[Subaru is exclusively voice-only while he's sick and looks like a zombie, since otherwise he might scare pregnant women, the elderly, and small children.]

People are from different times? [he's missed a lot.]

[voice]

[miniworth]

[Miles is pretty darn sick too, and he's seen some terrible stuff as well, but neither of them know each other's circumstances - voice it is!]

Different times, and different words. There is a great variety.

[foolishwren]

_{[... Is he up on the roof? .... Wellp. Heather's gonna be making her way up there, then. Though she'll ping the video on as she's heading up the stairs to answer his question.]}

1990... heh. Guess if we met on the real timeline, I wouldn't be much bigger than you, huh? _{[Actually, he'd probably be TALLER. Heather was actually kinda short.]}

[miniworth]

[A thoughtful look, and a small laugh as he tries to imagine such a situation.]

...it's kind of hard to see you as being younger than me, though, Miss Heather.

[Hermione's curious as to where Miles is located, but keeps that question to herself, instead, answering his.]

I highly doubt this world runs by the Christian calendar, though there really is no telling. As for when I was born, it was in 1979. It was actually early 1992 when I was home.

[video]

[miniworth]

I'm not too sure what this world runs on, either, but I think quite a few of us other-worlders might be familiar with the system.

....So if we'd met back home, you'd be twice my age. [.....whoa.]

Everyone is born in different times in different worlds, so that's hard to say...

Which reminds me! Happy New Year!

[miniworth]

Happy New Year, Miss Minnie - I hope you enjoyed your holidays.

[...pinching the bridge of his nose at this text. He'll save the lecture for later -- he'd already dug at Miles enough when he'd initially got to sit vigil over Ken.]

It's alright. Do you want me to bring your things over?

[Friends > anger, as usual. Oh him.]

[text]

[miniworth]

Is that all right with you?

[usedsubstitute.livejournal.com]

Miles! I'm so glad to see you're feeling a little better. But...what on Earth are you doing on a roof?

_{[Iris giggles.]} This is so very odd. I was born in 1993. It's rather strange to think that you're older than I am!

[video]

[miniworth]

I'm still a little sick, but I've gotten much better. [Avoiding the roof question, yet.]

....It's hard to think that I'm even supposed to be the same age as Phoenix, so I suppose it is..

[video]

[awesome-scott.livejournal.com]

Well, I was born in 1982... and I'd really like to know the year as well.
[This is relevant to Scott's interests.]

[video]

[miniworth]

I wonder if there's anyone who would know.. [Curious face is a go!]

A belated new years to you Miles. As to answer your question, I was born in the year 1875 in London under the rule of Queen Victoria. The year I left my world in was 1888.

It is strange that we have dates here, the months seem to be similar, but there is no year as which to go by.

[He shakes his head slightly. The mysteries of this world are ever growing and to frustrate him further, as advanced as this place is he doesn't have a clue where to begin looking.

So instead he raises an eyebrow at Miles. You're not looking so well there.]

You should probably be inside resting. You're looking quite under the weather.

[video]

[miniworth]

...I guess it will get very confusing even if we had a year, with everybody coming from so many different instances in time..

[And he runs his hand through his hair, shrugging.]

I'm doing a lot better than I was earlier.

[It's a few minutes after your post, but there's a shota watching you] ... You're going to get worse if you stay outside.

[action]

[miniworth]

....!

[He was kind of expecting Ken to come here at some point, so he looks up at the voice, glancing over his shoulder and shrugging.]

I won't stay out here too long.

... [blinking]

1992? A-aha... I feel a little old, now.

[video]

[miniworth]

.....Why is that?

[video] pfff that's why I need to wake up completely before tagging

[smudgedface.livejournal.com]

I was born in 1980.

[He wrinkles his nose.]

So wait -- technically, you're younger than me?

[video]

[miniworth]

I guess so.

.....Although, a lot of people here are older than me anyway, no matter what the year. I'm only ten years old.

{Video}

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

Hmm... I think it would have been..

{THINKING NOISE GO HERE}

1872! I think.

{Video}

[miniworth]

[He's so used to obscure timelines he just takes it in stride]

What was it like, back then?

[fullmoonstory.livejournal.com]

[Sunny woke her up because...well. Because she does that sometimes. But Estelle heard and watched all this. And she's at the hotel, too. Soon enough, actually, she's on the roof, being prodded along by a Chansey who is far too nosy for her own good or anyone else's.]

Oh...what are you doing up here? It's so cold.

[miniworth]

[He looks up at the voice, then smiles in greeting, swinging his legs as he's perched riiiight at the edge of the room Miles what are you doing--]

Just sitting here. It's a nice view.

[video] sorry for late, bb

[usaginouke.livejournal.com]

Oh, god...

[video] it's no problem, dear <3

[miniworth]

[Well, as this is Miles' default expression.... WHAT IS HAPPY.]

.....Is something wrong, Misaki?
