Room 008 [video]

[no_ufo_ending]

[IT'S A BLACK HOLE OH HOLY GOD oh wait no it's just Henry's nostril.  The camrea finally pulls away to show rainy pokemon center windows....upside down.]

Gah-- get off--  whupps!

[The gear goes clattering to the floor and lands at...an unintentionally artsy angle, pointing up at the standing Henry and a fuzzy thing wound around his arm.

He stares down at the camera a little brokenly before picking it up.]

At this rate, I'm going to break it. Burger, this isn't a toy....


My egg hatched. It's a cat.


I don't even know why I'm still surprised anymore.

[He looks at the little pokemon who is enjoying nuzzling against his shoulder. He WANTS to smile...Henry sort of always wanted a pet...but good God its tail looked like an umbilical cord DO NOT WANT.]


He's got four legs. I'm not going to complain.


[Just sob quietly on the inside, that's all.]

_{[NON UPSIDE DOWN HENRY GO]}

Yeah...I'm trying not to think about it too hard.

[video]

[harryusedworry.livejournal.com]

That's...probably for the best.

_{[Henry nods sagely. It's raining out and he's just a little bit lonely. Otherwise he would have let the topic drop.]}

I don't remember eggs in the game at all.

[video]

[harryusedworry.livejournal.com]

Game?

[video]

[no-ufo-ending.livejournal.com]

Er, yeah. Where I'm from, Pokemon is just a video game.

[video]

[harryusedworry.livejournal.com]

Oh. Really?

...I don't know much about video games. I should ask Heather about that...

[video]

[no-ufo-ending.livejournal.com]

_{[Heather...didn't he know somebody named Heather?]}

It was fun...but I never wanted to live in it.

[video]

[harryusedworry.livejournal.com]

What did you do in the game exactly?

[Camping: the game.]

_{[Henry scratches is head with his Glameow-bound arm and puts on his thinking face.]}

Well you wandered around to different towns and caught pokemon. And you fought people if you walked in front of them. I don't think I beat it.

[video]

[harryusedworry.livejournal.com]

...just by walking in front of them?

....


That doesn't happen here does it?

[video]

[no-ufo-ending.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I try to stay out of everyone's way.

[video]

[harryusedworry.livejournal.com]

[He might start doing that now too.]

I'm Harry Mason, what's your name?

[video]

[no-ufo-ending.livejournal.com]

_{[Henry tries to ignore the springy-cat winding around his neck. Asssdgfffff]}

Henry Townshend.

[video]

[harryusedworry.livejournal.com]

[He nods watching the cat.]

Are you alright with that?

[video]

[no-ufo-ending.livejournal.com]

What? My name's always been Henry...

_{[Might wanna be a little more specific, Mr. Mason. The derp is strong with this one.]}

It's never bothered me.

[video]

[harryusedworry.livejournal.com]

[So he can tell.]

I meant with the cat...the one that's around your neck.

[video]

[no-ufo-ending.livejournal.com]

..........._Oh.

I think...he'll be okay. Kittens are supposed to be energetic, right?

_{[Henry was sure to have nightmares of his new pokemon strangling him though. At least it would be a change from the Hole Dreams.]}

[video]

[harryusedworry.livejournal.com]

I think?

I've never had a cat before.

[video]

[no-ufo-ending.livejournal.com]

Neither have I.

_{[He didn't count the one that had showed up in his fridge back home.]}

But he's better than Clam so far.

[video]

[harryusedworry.livejournal.com]

Clam?

Is that..your Pokemon?

[video]

[no-ufo-ending.livejournal.com]

Yeah. He's a shellder. He never comes out of his shell so I'm glad I have Burger now.

_{[Henry was getting really tired of relying on sticks and using his starter as a projectile weapon.]}

Re: [video]

[harryusedworry.livejournal.com]

[He nods.]

Mines a Togepi.

[At the mention, Lisa the Togepi jumps up into his lap, waving at the camera. Look at her! It takes Harry a moment to get in sight of the device again.]

Sorry.

[video]

[no-ufo-ending.livejournal.com]

_{[Henry blankfaces for a moment as Harry is replaced by a smiling egg baby. He opens his mouth to say something but shuts it when the man returns.]}

Heh. It's okay.

_{[You see that? That's something that could ALMOST be a grin.]}

[video]

[harryusedworry.livejournal.com]

[Harry smiles and chuckles.]

She really likes attention. It's like having a kid again.

[video]

[no-ufo-ending.livejournal.com]

_{[Henry isn't totally sure what that means, so he nods a little while trying to peel Burger off of his face.]}

Is she finished hatching?
