A Very Merry Hobo Birthday... To You!

[tsunbird]

Who: A whole lot of losers (this can mean you). Specifically, Ankh, Eiji, probably all of the Senshi, Martin, Elly and Fei. Nozomi? Possibly more Love Lives?? A WHOLE LOT OF LOSERS... I tagged everybody I knew would be here that I knew the canons for. :<
What: Hino Eiji's birthday!!
When: October 22! All day, all night, as long as y'all wanna celebrate this hobo.
Where: Hikawa Shrine.

He was pretty sure Rei had said something about it being Eiji's birthday. He didn't actually care overmuch, since she had come to him with the request that he take Eiji and distract him until a specific time, and given him the idea of making him buy ice cream. Ankh liked ice cream. In fact, it was about his favorite thing. So when it had been suggested that he could force Eiji into buying him some, whilst still fulfilling some kind of request from Rei, it meant he was getting ice cream and having the grumpy Shrine Maiden indebted to him (at least, in his own mind). So while there was the vaguest of concepts in his head that this was a distraction for some kind of celebration in honor of Eiji, he was mostly interested in the fact that he was making the vagrant buy him something.

And so here they were, Ankh dragging Eiji by the sleeve, heading into town.

"Then perhaps a camera." She pauses and looks at him more closely. "Since it can't be dreams if it's disturbing the Pokemon too."

"Neither of them can operate one, however." Martin pauses, thinking. "Actually, none of my Pokémon can operate a camera. They don't have hands." He makes a mental note to do something about that when he's able to leave the city for longer.

"Well, that's certainly going to make that a problem. But I'm sure you'll think of a way to figure all that out." Rei looks at Klink, amused. "How are you feeling, by the way? Now that you're free from the hospital?"

[warriormouse]

The look on Martin's face probably says more than anything he could say. He isn't technically free as they want to do some rehabilitation things with him. He's just avoiding that.

But he won't say as much.

"It's nice," he says instead. "If for no other reason than I get actual, edible food as opposed to the cafeteria's attempts."

[faithfulflame]

Oh she catches that, Martin. She knows doctors, after all, and you are a medical miracle.

"I imagine so. Are you settling back into your home well?"

[warriormouse]

He shakes his head. "I've found a new apartment. My other one was let out." Too many memories anyway. "But the new one has a nice view of the city, so it's not so bad."

[faithfulflame]

"Always good to look on the bright side. Are you staying near the Vale, or elsewhere?"

Partly asked so she'll know if she needs to have Deimos escort him home just to be safe.

[warriormouse]

"Closer to the medical center, just in case something happens. Though I wonder if the Vale wouldn't be a better place for me," he muses. Weird things happen to him, after all, so maybe being near the people who understand the weird things would help.

Rei smiles softly, nodding once. "It might be. It's certainly a place where you'd be able to find spiritual aid if needed."
