016 [Video | Texts | Action for Goldenrod]

[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.

....I came here the day after my tenth birthday.

I'm not sure what to make of turning eleven in only two more months..

... You'd be turning seventeen in my world. [and that's a frown] Like Minato-san, Yukari-san and Junpei-san.

[......

Blank. Stare.]

.....Really?

... I was born in 1998. [And now he flops back.]

[He can't see Ken being anything but older than him, and so he blinks again, and says so. ]

You're the same age as my senpai.

I guess so....

It's kind of weird to think about, huh.

[Trying to imagine Miles in a Gekkokan High uniform.

A beat.

GODDAMN THAT IS SO WEIRD.]

[He's trying to imagine Ken being 3 years old because that's what age Ken would be in his world.

...... he's not sure if it's working.]

... I can't believe you're older than me.

...Me neither.

I'm apparently only a couple years younger than Miss Heather, too..

... [There's definitely a beat there.]

She's... a lot smarter than she acts.

[WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING? no clue]

....I suppose.. so?

[Ken what are you talking about he has no clue.]

Ah, it's nothing.

[Also, this]

......[Ken's a weird person.]

[and he's still trying to imagine a little Ken.]

[blink]

What're you thinking about?

..... [He grins a little. Oh boy, if he was honest, Ken was going to look at him like he was insane.]

I was wondering what you'd be like if we met in my world. You'd only be around three years old..

[He shoots a look at Miles >8| and then he fishes around in his pocket of the jacket he was conveniently not wearing Sunday night : Dbbbbb

He hands Miles a picture.]

I was six. It's not much, but.

[And it's a picture of Ken and his mom, who he looks almost nothing like... but he does have her hair, brown and wavy. And she has the same sort of sad look in her eyes that Ken wears now.]

[He takes the picture, carefully, and looks at it. He's quiet for a few seconds, just looking at it, and he shifts to hold it securely in both hands so no wind would snatch it away like a big jerk. And he's smiling.]

....She's really pretty.

I thought so. [He can't bring himself to smile about his mother right now.]

But that's what I looked like when I was little.

I think you look very adorable, too, Ken. [Yeah, Miles has always wanted a little sibling. And this is his best friend, as a six year old. Gdmn Ken is adorable to him.]

What?! No I don't! [he carefully grabs the picture back and puts it--very carefully, gingerly--back into his pocket, slipping it into the small compartment in his wallet, waterproof and sturdy, where he had pulled it from.]

....I think you do. [Why are your eyes kind of sparkling Miles.

He watches, idly, as Ken puts away the picture, remembering that Miles' picture of his own family is back in Phoenix's room, at the bottom of his bag in a box with all of his other mementos. He hadn't taken them out since finding out about DL-6.]

[Grumbling, sort of red.]

Well, I grow up to this.

I think you still are.

[Does he notice you're blushing? Nope.]
