[Hello, Union.

(Or anyone else within reach, really)

It's three am. Are you asleep? Good. You can stay asleep.

If you're awake or just dozing and within reach of your warp band, though, you might see a public transmission]

Yo. So who the hell else is up?

[Kaido is definitely not asleep, and he's bored]

Comments

[actsmagnificent]

[ Well, this sure is a pair of beady eyes and a giant mouth filling the screen. If he gets really super close, he can still be heard if he whispers, right? ]

Leavanny!

[ Hi! It's nice to see you, but they'll have to be quiet. People are trying to sleep! ]

[kaidont]

[Wha--]

Huh?

[... wait, your face rings a bell]

... do I know you?

[He's talking a bit more quiet, at least]

[realmenknitplushies]

[Guess who's up and sewing at three a.m.? Yes, that's right. On Kanji's bed, behind him, a few of his smaller Pokémon are snoozing, but their trainer's hard at work.
He glances down at the warp band on his desk, spits out a few pins in his teeth-]

Yeah. Yeah, dude. What's up?

guys youre like in the next rooms to each other

[at_too_low]

I am!

[His voice is a bit excited, but quiet - don't want to let Mari know he's still up]

[kaidont]

... that was kinda cool, man.

[You know. The pins in teeth thing]

They'd be talking to each other on skype when they're in the same room

[kaidont]

--why are you awake?

[You're supposed to be resting, like normal healthy people of which he's clearly not]

[realmenknitplushies]

Huh? What is?

[He's not exactly learned Pin Missile here...]

[at_too_low]

[He'll demonstrate instead of answering - consequently holding up a pencil, a drawing of something tech-y, and a tray of small metal details. Surely you can put two and two together.]

The important question is, why are you?

[Giving a small giggle - oops, guess who's high on lack of sleep.]

[kaidont]

That... [vague hand gestures] holding pins in your mouth thing.

... aren't you afraid they'll get on the floor and you'll step on them if you spit them?

1/2

[kaidont]

[... yeah you should definitely be sleeping]

I'm pretty much always awake at this hour.

[realmenknitplushies]

Eh, I've gotta hold onto 'em somehow when I'm workin'. And I'm pretty good at aiming.

[kaidont]

Unless I get tired out.

[Can you hear the wink wink nudge nudge in his voice]

[kaidont]

So what're you working on?

[at_too_low]

[Sorry, he's too preoccupied with whatever it is he's doing and with not having enough sleep to process that the way you intended]

Didn't you do your training today? Maybe go for a night run? You'd get a great view on the stars! Oh, speaking of that, I wanted to check something...

[Aaand he's disappearing for a second to apparently rummage through one of his desk's drawers. You'll hear paper rustling]

[kaidont]

Yeah but it's boring to do this stuff alone every night.

[He'll wait for you to get back on screen]

[realmenknitplushies]

Just a coupla things for my new Pokémon. [He picks the band up and moves it around to get the tiny Eevee on-camera.]

[kaidont]

Aw, cute. Where'd you find him?

[realmenknitplushies]

Y'know when they were giving out eggs a few week back? Yeah.

[kaidont]

.. I think I missed that.

[This is why you need to pay more attention to the network when you leave on several days training trips, Kaido]

[actsmagnificent]

[ Leavanny's antennae droop for a moment before he remembers he's evolved. As quietly as he can, he rummages around in the back of his own leaves, then quickly whips together a miniature leaf hood and holds it up. He's the one who makes these! Is Floette doing well? ] Van!

[kaidont]

[--oh! Oh, yeah, he remembers you]

Oh yeah! I didn't know you'd evolved. How's that feel?

[actsmagnificent]

Leava... [ From the fact he just went starry-eyed, it must be pretty great.

Oh, but hold on. Let him go into the hallway so he can talk without waking up the humans one room over...He begins sneaking towards the door. ]

[kaidont]

Hah, I wonder when my second one's coming.

[realmenknitplushies]

Huh? [He shrugs.] Yeah, bunch of people got 'em at about the same time. Ended up with that little guy.

[kaidont]

So when'd he hatch?
