1st Station ➲ Video

[infinitegrin]

[Hey, haven't you seen this face before, Luceti? Isn't it usually more frown-y, and doesn't that guy wear black?

...Nah, it can't be the same guy, this guy seems so much more exuberant in comparison.]

Got it to work! I am Emmet! I am a Subway Boss. I like trains. I like combinations of two Pokémon. If you have Pokémon, we'll have to battle sometime!

Right! I see a lot of people disembarked on this station instead of the next - I am from the most recent arrival on the schedule! But Ingo is showing me around, so I don't need that much help.

And for those of you who were taking care of my brother while I was away, thank you! He's fussy, but he's a good guy.

[Man how can Emmet just keep grinning wider and wider like that]

[tsuntrader]

[...Wait, what's with the grin, what-

...Oh god dammit he made train puns again didn't he.]

[infinitegrin]

You really do spend a lot of time on the same track with my brother!

[Grin grin grin]

You should consider becoming a Subway Boss when you arrive at your home station!

[Emmet the requirements to be a Subway Boss should not solely be a love of train puns.]

[tsuntrader]

[Becoming a- what- but--]

I'm from Johto. We don't even have a subway. [We... Have a Magnet Train going to Kanto, but...]

[infinitegrin]

Ah! You have the Magnet Train!

[Excite excite!

He looks about ready to spout off fanatical babbling about oh my god trains.]

[tsuntrader]

...Yeah, we do. [...And the magnet train is great. It's easy access to Kanto. Or rather, it's an easy route to Blue.]

[infinitegrin]

[BLAH BLAH MAGNETS BLAH BLAH LEVITATION BLAH BLAH TECHNOLOGICAL MARVEL BLAH BLAH COMPLICATED TRAIN TERMINOLOGY

Emmet just goes off, babbling excitedly and becoming gradually less coherent in his sentence forming.]

[tsuntrader]

[...Oh good god help

help help]

[infinitefrown]

[Oh. Oop. Oops. Uh-oh. Sounds like a trainwreck is coming out of Emmet's mouth. Time to come to the rescue.

Ingo scoots his chair over until he's in view, then puts a hand on the still-babbling Emmet's shoulder.]

Emmet. [Come back to him. Come back. Back to earth.]

[infinitegrin]

--Huh? Oh! Oops.

[tsuntrader]

[You... Are way too chatty, Emmet...]

[infinitefrown]

Thank you. [With that done, he'll release Emmet's shoulder and look more apologetically back at the journal.]

Greetings, Silver.

[infinitegrin]

Couldn't help it, I was charging straight down the track!

[Emmet laughs, grinning unabashedly.]

[tsuntrader]

[No, Emmet. You went straight off the track. You were a flying train, venturing off into the vast Unown.]

Hi. [Your bro is crazy.]

[infinitefrown]

[...silver's face.]

I apologize for the tangent. As you know, the two of us are both immersed in the workings of trains...

[He's.... smiling, though. Just being able to sit here next to Emmet and talk to Silver.... and poor Silver's confusion is a little humorous. He can't help it.]

[infinitegrin]

It's a love for trains that keeps us bonded!

[Aww yeah Silver all that effort into getting Ingo to smile, now you know the kind of contentment it takes.]

We're a perfect two-car train.

[tsuntrader]

[Wh- Huh- Ingo is smiling and not just that weird frown smile either but a real actual smile and-





silver.exe has stopped responding.]

[infinitefrown]

Absolutely. We run very well together. [ew stop don't get all weirdly train mushy on us, gross

oops, running the file emmetpresence.bro in the Ingo program led to smile.exp, but crashed silver.exe..... Better terminate that .exp for a reboot, but the Ingo program has to notice the error first...

... ...

...ah.] Silver?

[infinitegrin]

[Emmet catches the stunned look, maybe a little sooner than Ingo, but he's not aware of what's surprised Silver so much.]

Something wrong?

[tsuntrader]

[...Headshake.] No. It's nothing. [Ingo was smiling]

[infinitefrown]

...If you're sure. [And he'll do it again!!

(clearly the issue at hand is going straight over ingo's head)]

[infinitegrin]

You'll have to come over, sometime, Silver! Absolutely! I want to know more about you!

[tsuntrader]

[Whuh- but- that- I--] Sure. [HOW I SAY NO TO INGO'S BROTHER...]

[infinitefrown]

Excellent. [How can you say no to these two when they look so pleased?] If you aren't otherwise occupied-- would you care to come over now?

[infinitegrin]

Yes! I agree, that's a great idea!
