I have a problem.

When I select a name on my gear and try to send that person a message it somehow winds up selecting the name below or above it instead and I don't find out until a confused person messages me back.

Anybody else have this problem?

probably because sometimes i dont get replies at all

have you tried getting a new gear?

I can't yet.
I'm saving up for something.

oh. guess you're stuck with accidentally dialing people for now then.

what are you saving for?

I'll tell you later.

yeah okay

[Because now he's curious.]

btw where are you

right now? near the radio tower

in goldenrod, not lavender town

im in goldenrod too

ive just learned i dont have to pay a poke'dime to get this dumb thing replaced

meet you there?

oh good, I keep breaking mine and when you mentioned saving I thought those bastards had started charging money for replacements. I would've mentioned it but I thought you knew

but yeah I'll be here

[Whenever Henry does get there, Envy will be loitering outside the radio tower building, entertaining himself by tossing some sort of Poketreats for his Ariados to catch.]

_{[With a chime, the pokemon center's doors slide open and Henry, A NEW MAN, walks out into the sun with his shiny new gear that would (probably) not keep calling Envy's sister.]

[Spoilers: it solves nothing]}

Hey, look.

[Envy looks up when Henry walks out, grinning.]

Hey, you got it already!

Now maybe it'll stop calling Lust and she'll stop thinking that you're trying to flirt with her.

_{[Henry is not a very expressive human being but that gets him to pull a great face.]}

She what?

[Envy manages, barely, not to laugh at that expression, but the way he nonchalantly smirks and shrugs makes it clear that he's laughing on the inside.]

Well she said it was suspect, which I figured meant that she thought you were flirting.

I told her that probably wasn't it. [He's grinning again, teasing and conspiratorial.] Unless that is what you were doing after all.

[HE'S 99.9% SURE HENRY IS NOT. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THIS ISN'T HILARIOUS.]

_{[Henry's mind reels in horror.]}

No! No, I'm not.

_{[THE WOMAN LIKED JIGGLY PUFFS. N O P E.]}

And you can tell her that. God. This new gear had better not malfunction.

[Okay now Envy lets out a laugh.]

Right, I'll be sure to tell her if it comes up again.

_{[Henry drags his hands (pokegear and all) down his face.]}

Good. Anyway, good to see you again.

Yeah, you too. Are you going to be here long?

[It's really nice being in the same city as most of his friends.]

And do you want to help me find this costume store that's supposed to be around here somewhere?

I think we're going to be here a while...at least for the month.

_{[He stuffs his shiny new gear into his pocket.]}

Sure. Do you have directions?

Not very good ones...I just know that it's on this block somewhere.

[So might as well start walking! After a minute, he asks:]

Is it later enough for you to tell me about the thing you're saving for?

Hmmm-oh! Right. Since the poke'gear is free I don't have to worry as much. I want to get Heather something nice for Christmas because it'll be our first full year without...

_{[He trails off. Last year's holidays seemed like a huge blur.]}

[...oh. Envy's not sure what to say about that, but he gives Henry's arm a little nudge with his shoulder.]

'S a good idea.

[The costume shop turns out to be just around the corner; it's one of those pop-up seasonal stores, with a big, bright banner out front saying 'Spiritomb' in colorful, spooky letters.]

This has to be it. I've just got to look through here and get ideas.

_{[Henry eyes the shop in his dubious Henry way.]}

I'm sure there will be plenty...wonder if they have any awful movies.
