[This is certainly not how this happened last time. But once he sees some Pidgey flying by he knows he's back. Sadly, his excitement dies down a bit when he finds all his pokeballs but one are gone, and that one is something he never had here last time.

Eventually he tries the Gear again. Neku pops on minus one pair of headphones but plus one Emolga on his head in their place]


So... yeah. I dunno if anyone remembers me. Or if this is actually the same place as before or not. But, uhm...

If you DO remember me, I'm sorry. About anything I said before. Or did. I really can't remember a lot of it, but trust me, I know I was kinda a jackass.

...if not, hey. I'm Neku Sakuraba. I guess. That's wasn't awkward at all.

[His Emolga chirps happily, patting him on the head. It's okay bro. And the feed cuts]

[It takes Veronica a moment, but it finally clicks with her who she's seeing on her Pokegear.]

It's... you.

So, did you really go back home?

stitchedupbodyguard: (not sure if)
From: [personal profile] stitchedupbodyguard
It's probably been longer. It's almost Christmas, if you didn't know.

[Can't you just hear the holidays coming for you, Neku? Make sure you get in the spirit like Veronica was.

That is to say, not.

And you don't have the Pokemon you had before?

Yeah, they celebrate it in this world too.

[though, maybe that had to do with them being here. We just don't know!]

Oh. That sucks.

unkinder: (☆ but I've seen despair here)
From: [personal profile] unkinder
[It just so happened that when Neku's video appeared on the Network, Nagi was away in town purchasing an item so he could evolve his Porygon, Tetris. He had just walked back into his room, partially still filled with boxes as things were still in the process of being moved into the new house that Schuldig had purchased for them, when he noticed the new Network post under a name he figured he wouldn't ever see again.

His grip tightens on the Up-Grade in his hand as he sinks down onto the edge of his bed, glaring at the name for a few minutes before actually selecting the post so he can watch the video. Several minutes more go by before he actually deigns to give a response.]


It would be nice if you would either stay or leave and not actually come back.

[And honestly, even though he knows that isn't actually up to Neku, it ain't gonna stop him from being salty about it.]

[You aren't making the desire to want to punch you in the face any less, Neku. Perhaps it's a better thing that he's several towns away.]

I should just box your cat and never give it back.

[...Well now that you're doing that it would be more trouble than it's worth to just continue texting a response, regardless of how irritated he is at the moment.

And so the video flicks on, revealing Nagi sitting on the edge of his bed with the blankest expression he can muster.]


Of course I have her. I had her the last time you were here.

You mean you don't remember anything else?

[Nagi doesn't respond to that, instead glaring at the Gear with his jaw set.]

I will send your Persian to your PC. I won't be responsible if anything happens to her after that.

I don't want to talk about it, if it's all the same. It's entirely possible you will be gone tomorrow anyway, so I would rather not have to repeat the same conversation for nothing.

[Even as he says this he knows how petty and childish it is, especially after all of the conversations he had about this, but he's too irritated to care.]

Expect your Pokemon soon.

[And with that, he cuts the feed before Neku can try to ask him anything else.]

Oh, you mustn't worry. Er...about the awkwardness, rather. Using these devices to speak with others is always a bit awkward no matter what you do, I think.

I didn't realize people who left could come back here. Or have memories of this place. How long were you here before?

Still.

How do I know you're really sorry?
