no_ufo_ending | Room 039 [Video]

_{[The video flips on to the bright lights of a doctor's examination room--or rather a garbage can in the corner of one. It contains the remains of Henry's foot cast. The camera stays on the signature-smothered wrappings for some time as he speaks.]}

This...is a PSA. I'm sure some of you have noticed how...weird...you or your friends may have been acting lately over the weekends. I don't mean where you suddenly lose a few days and remember something about flying school buses and the Koolaid man. I mean suddenly becoming a different person or saying things you don't mean to say or in my case...jumping off of rooftops.

This could happen to you.

_{[He flips the camera around, showing his usual tired, not-very-shaven face. The clinic ceiling lights blare behind him.]}

And so...I think we should develop some kind of...I don't know. A buddy system? If you suddenly find yourself having strange ideas or--hell--any ideas at all, ask a buddy. Or ask two buddies in case they've got the same problem you do. Create a whole network of buddies.

I'll be your buddy. So, uh...yeah. That's all.

October, right...I almost forgot about that. It's soon, isn't it?

_{[HENRY. IT'S MARCH.]}

It sounds like some the worlds back before I got here.

did weird things start happening there too?

Slakoffee, huh? I don't think I've ever been.

It's pretty good. It's more affordable than Sawsbucks is. I can drop the card off for you if you're in Goldenrod.

...Not really? It's only March, we've still got a few months.

A different person? Jumping off roofs? Losing time- this stuff happens here?! I... I've been here a month or so, and nothing's...ohgosh, I don't really have many people I know hanging around me.

Sure. Do you want to meet somewhere?

Yeah... but they're really hard to explain for some of them.

Oh. Right. That's right.

Oh no...that means April is coming.

...Why are you worried about April? There's been that Prom thing or whatever these past few years, but all that is is a party. Which is bothersome, sure, but not October levels of bothersome.

Oof. Welcome to Johto. It is a nice place...I would honestly rather be here than anywhere. But it's not perfect.

You can call this number if you suddenly get any weird ideas. I was serious about that offer.

How does the Pokemon Center sound? I need to go there anyway today.

That's okay. You don't have to. Strange things started happening in my world too and I wouldn't even know where to start.

_{[Henry works himself up enough to actually emote.]}

April fool's day.

Ha, great. Like a crisis hotline for bizarro behavior. [Nnghhhh] I thought I was away from all the weird, nightmare fuel stuff...

Ugh, it's a nice offer...that maybe I'll take you up on, but I SERIOUSLY hope I NEVER have to.

I hope so too. Honestly, breaking my foot is probably the worst thing that's happened in all the years Iv'e been here. So maybe don't worry too much.

_{[Except for the time his friend's SOUL got RIPPED OUT OF HER BODY by a weird bug. That was pretty bad. Oh. Or the time he BECAME A MUTANT AND LOST THE USE OF HIS ARMS.]}

[If you don't want a hysterical girl on the other end, Do Not tell her either of that. JESUS PokéWorld, you were supposed to be SAFE, but instead there's SHEDINJA and FREAK EVENTS.]

That's...reassuring... How long's that been...?

Ah-- hmm.

_{[Henry makes a few other quiet thoughtful sounds as he tries to remember correctly.]}

At...least four years.

Fff- ahaaa, ah... [Sputter. Jesus.] Another...long-runner. Oh. ...Statistics I can trust then, huh...? No...being chased by monsters or anything?

Nothing but pocket monsters...that was a terrible joke.

[...]

Jesus christ that's what it stands for doesn't it.

Yes. But you always have your team to help you out and you can avoid Pokemon all together by staying out of the tall grass and caves.

...Huh?

[Sorry, he's from a world where that isn't a thing, and even if he's seen it here he hasn't really paid attention...]

i think being around other people WAS my problem both times this happened to me
still
its a nice thought
and at least im glad people KNOW this is a thing so i dont feel like a crazy person explaining rapid personality changes after they happen
