Ninth Snapshot. [Video | Action]

[expertonshutters]

[Long time no see, Union. When the feed clicks on, there is one somewhat confused Hayato Ichimonji looking into the camera. He glances up to make a face and it's easy to see the gates of the City behind him. Goro the Marowak is dutifully on his shoulder while he heads further into the city.]

You folks sure know how to get into trouble after a guy leaves. Was I really gone that long? Yeesh.

[He looks back at the camera.]

I've been keeping up with most of it over the network but if anyone wants to give me the juicy details, please. I need to get caught up. Also!

If anyone has been wondering about Kazuya Taki, I just want to let you know he's been trapped in paperwork Hell thanks to the Battalion. If he doesn't drown he'll probably come back but he's hanging back in Caldera for now.

[Private to Fili and Kili]

I'm coming back if you guys didn't rent my room to anyone while I was gone. [That's mostly a joke.] You guys doing okay?

[Action: Downtown.]

[Hayato's getting right back to work, so he'll be easy to find in his usual places. He's either out running around with a notebook in hand, or taking a break at his favorite cafe. Come back him or any of his Pokemon friends!]

Right! What the hell did you do?

[Still grinning, though.]

Soulfast? Is that the spooky holiday Union has with the ghosts and stuff?

Iiiii went to help save Glacier? We won, but it took the help of the other gods to do it.

[Right does brighten up at that last point.] And candy! And festival food, too!

Video

[expertonshutters]

Give me all the details! Man, I bet I could have gotten some really good pictures there. Such a missed opportunity.

[It also sounds like some people in this Glacier place needed to be punched in the face. Alas.]

Of course the food. You'll have to show me around since it'll be my first Soulfast.

Video

[lunchleader]

I'll definitely show you everything!

[Right pumps his fists in the air excitedly...and then winces a little a few seconds later.]

...when I'm feeling better.

[He waves a hand.]

You stay in bed. There's no sense in hurting yourself worse. Where are you holding up at?

Re: Video

[lunchleader]

The Divine Theater. Miss Chansey and that jerk Waver's got me on bed rest until I can walk without hurting very much again.

[Right grimaces a little.] It's kinda boring, and there's still a lot of stuff to do for the upcoming play, too...

[expertonshutters]

Good call. Being stubborn is fine and all, but if you just keep hurting yourself, you'll never get better. Believe me, I know. Bed rest is the worst, but it has to be done.

[Sometimes Hayato could be that annoying older brother who nagged.]

If you're that bored, why do I pay you a visit. I bought some Calderan snacks. Interested?

Video

[lunchleader]

Calderan snacks?

[From the hopeful look on Right's face, Hayato has his undivided attention.]

Sure! Drop on by! I'll let the others know so that you can just come on in.

Video

[expertonshutters]

[He snickers a little bit. He figured he would have gotten his attention that way.]

I'll see you in a few minutes. Try to stay in bed until then, yeah?

Video

[lunchleader]

Don't worry; I don't intend to go running off anytime soon.

[It does seem honest...]
