Oh my god... How can anyone want to stick around one place for longer than a few weeks when there's so much shit to get done? I've been settled in Vermillion for only about three weeks and I am already going absolutely shithive maggots. Maybe the best idea is to just blaze through those last few badges, I don't know. What I do know is that one way or another, I am getting the merry fuck on my way. Screw waiting for the weather warm up.

I think my Pichu is feeling it too because he's kind of sparking here and there. Is that normal? Like, my Ampharos when she was a Mareep had this problem, but what the shit do I do to avoid getting shocked this time around? It's not like I can just take care when brushing him! That and he thinks every damn thing is funny at the moment and it just sets him off! Right now it's a never ending spiral of shocking, what I think is giggling, and more shocking. Just make it stop, oh my god.

[ as if on cue, a little Pichu can be heard chiming in and an aggravated huff from a Zangoose. Karkat... he just groans. sighs... ]

Unrelated to all of the globetickling bulgehumps out there and my own trainer problems - which is to say that this message is only for those of my particular joint universes - where the blithering fuck is everyone? I just met up with Eridan a few days ago, but what about everyone else?

[ private to Rose ]

So um. There's a little bit of a problem.

I could ask Kanaya, but I thought... Uh...

We just got to Azalea! "We" being Sollux, Dirk, Jake and I. We're planning to hit Goldenrod by the time the convention starts, too, and then we're going linear, hopefully.

And about the pichu - apparently sparking has a lot to do with their communication? I've found letting them spark at another electric type tends to wear out the extra, and keeps them happier.

A problem? What's wrong? [[Karkat, don't tell her there's a problem. The worry is already etched onto her face.]]

Have fun getting through the forest. It took me at least a goddamn week... And that was with a beast that had already been through it before. Some of the rarer grass types are there too, if that interests you at all.

But here's the thing with Danny... Laney probably won't mind so much. Static, when I have him out, won't leave my goddamn person. And Del?

Well Del is a fully grown Luxray, I don't think that shit would be okay with him.

Calm down. It's not detrimental or life threatening.

I just can't fit into the shit I got for Christmas.

...Kind of was hoping to use part of that gift for Valentines.

Oh, we're going over it. Maybe trying to land in the middleish, if possible, but I think timewise flying's our best bet! Now that all four of us have the Violet badge, we can do that. I taught fly to all the pokemon who could use it at Christmas, when John and Jade lent me their HMs, and I've got more than enough to cover each of us.

[ eight is enough for four people, right? ]

Got it. I raised two pichu at the same time, so it was sort of an easy solution there. Giving him something safe to spark at is really my only suggestion! Maybe you can stick a pole in the ground and tell him that's fine? [ SHRUG. ]

[[Pause.]]

How exactly do they not fit? Is it that you've grown taller now? Or is it a problem in width?

[[She hums in thought. Thankfully she's just as quick to calm as she is to worry, tapping her lips a little as she tries to figure out if she could adjust them or if it'd be better to send him to Kanaya.

Of course, she's got the money to just buy him another set too. Choices choices.]]

It's a height issue, mostly. A little tight in the shoulders?

[ the only reason he isn't asking Kanaya is that this is a gift from Rose and it'd feel awkward to ask Kanaya to adjust it. 8( ]

Yeah... At the time I was accompanied by Pokémon from both Rose and Sollux. No flyers, only a Typhlosion and a Luxray. It made the trip after, but not too fast.

[ rubbing at his neck, he's releasing some pain there. ]

Anyway. I'll give that a shot and see how it goes. Or maybe pick up another Eevee to become a Jolteon.

[[Oh gosh he's getting taller. This is stupidly exciting.]]

Well, I'm not positive if I can adjust it myself. Unfortunately, unless it's a knitted item, I'm not really the person to go to. However, I have a few close acquaintances in the tailor business. If you'd like to visit one of them, they will get that adjusted for you very quickly. I could also purchase you a new set as well.

I'm...not sure how Kanaya would feel, but if you'd rather go to her that wouldn't bother me any.

I sort of ended up with a lot of fliers. I'm...not entirely sure how.

[ Because you BOUGHT them. She'd remark about the neck rubbing, but voice, so. ]

We should have a few Eevee eggs by next month, at least? And yeah, let me know! I think I've been lucky with electric types so far - they all get along and don't mind sparking with or at one another. There's just the four of them, though.

Now I have plenty of them.

[ he man. the worst of the pains are over. doesn't mean he's stopped getting them. ]

He'll be evolving into a Pikachu soon here. I can easily breed one myself, it's just a bit of a pain.

[ Rose. when you see him again, he'll be at like 5'6" or a little more. ]

...Might ask for a reknitted sweater when we meet up again. I don't really feel like tossing out the one you did last year, but it's getting a little tight and all.

I don't really want you to spend all that money on me either.

I would be more than happy to knit you a new one. I just have to get some new measurements from you. And it's really no problem. That will hardly even be a dip into the funds I've saved up over the past two years.

[[LET HER TAKE CARE OF YOU.]]
