6th rebuttal; text

[superordinary]

[ Good day, Johto! The text that appears on the network today is an unusual one. ]

hello, hello. i am ALTER EGO the PORYGON.
trainer MAKOTO NAEGI has ceased to function normally and is not responding.

this is important and i am at a loss for words. and i rarely lose words!
how do i fix my TRAINER?? :(

did somebody DELETE his system32?
did anybody back up his files?
furthermore, his antenna is bent sideways and is unable to receive WI-FI signals.
KYOUKO KIRIGIRI, you should take better care of his EQUIPMENT!! >8(

(ooc; Naegi is as of today in a canon update coma and will return in a week. In the meantime, you get a distressed cybernetic bird.)

[...Oh, god...]

Alter Ego - your trainer isn't in danger, if this is what I think it is, but he should still have someone there to tend to him. Where are you?

In what city? Do you know?

[text]

[superordinary]

yes, i do know.
we are in CIANWOOD CITY!

...also, it should be CYANWOOD and not CIANWOOD.

[text]

[ardent]

...It probably should, yes! But we can deal with that later - is anyone there with you? In the city, not the device!

CHIHIRO FUJISAKI and CHIAKI NANAMI are both present!

[ardent]

Have they made any sort of plans about what they're going to do about it?

[text]

[superordinary]

CHIAKI NANAMI spoke to KYOUKO KIRIGIRI. she will FLY here tomorrow morning.
until then, they will make him as comfortable as they can while he performs the system update.

It's as Alter Ego-san said, Ishimaru-kun.

[ardent]

[...Ah. Hello there, Kirigiri-kun, um.]

When are you planning on leaving?

I would like to see Naegi-kun as well, if possible.

[freshprints]

[...Okay, so either Ishimaru-kun has been replaced by a pod person or something is clearly up because wow good gracious what was that.

...It almost looked like...trying...]

It's about an eight-hour flight to Olivine. I was thinking of leaving early in the morning, taking a break to rest and eat around noon, and make it the rest of the way there by evening.

Assuming the weather is favorable for the trip, but it looks as though it'll hold a little longer, at least.

[...]

It would be easier to make the trip with two.

[Wait, no. Shit. Let's try that again.]

So it would be good, if you came.

[DAMMIT]

I'd like that.

[#FINALLY nailed it]

[ardent]

[Sadly enough, he understood what she meant the first time, if for no better reason than that's how he'd think to word it; the other attempts are...nice, however.

It's probably to be expected that something odd is going to happen to everyone's behavior when Protag-kun goes into a coma; let's be honest with ourselves, it was either going to be a sudden epidemic of #TRYING or a re-enactment of Lord of the Flies.]

I appreciate it, Kirigiri-kun. Thank you.

[...at least it's not Lord of the Flies.]

[freshprints]

[And then all the Dangans got stranded on an island and — wait.]

I'll be on the front porch and ready to leave at 9 AM.

[ardent]

[...but did we lie, though]

You know I won't be late.
