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.

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!

[tsuntrader]

[...Glancing at Sneasel. Glancing back at Ingo and Emmet.]




Okay. [He may or may not regret this decision.]

[infinitefrown]

Good! We'll be expecting you, then. [Yaaaaaaaaaaaay Silver's visiting!! How bad could it be?!]

[infinitegrin]

See you soon!

[Emmet will go ahead and get things picked up so the apartment looks nice! ...Most of that mess is his, but oh well.]

[tsuntrader]

[...Oh boy.

Silver comes... A short while later; he did have to take a few minutes to, you know, sprint from the dome back to his house and shower, but. At. At least he's using the door.

Knock knock. LOOK INGO HE REMEMBERED HIS MANNERS. KIND OF. A LITTLE...]

[infinitefrown]

[WHOA he didn't enter via window! Good job, man!

Ingo will answer the door, of course. Still...... smiling, a little bit.....]

Good afternoon, again. [siiiiiiiilveeerrrrrr]

[infinitegrin]

[Emmet is beaming, on the other hand, all grins.]

Welcome! It's great to meet you!

[HERE, HAVE A HANDSHAKE WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION.]

[tsuntrader]

[Good-

Oh god Ingo save me.] You too.

[infinitefrown]

[Sorry Silver, Ingo is just ushering you inside.... it'll take him a bit to actually... notice... because he is slightly selective when it comes to noticing Emmet social fallacies...]

Would you like anything while you're here? [A drink? Something to eat? ........Ice cream?

(look look look they have three chairs now!! everyone can still sit down together!)]

[infinitegrin]

Yes! Anything at all! Come, come on, sit down, we will be good hosts!

[tsuntrader]

[No, he- that's- wait but he doesn't- should he--

You know what, he's just going to follow Ingo in and look back and forth between Ingo and Emmet. And Sneasel, of course. Granted, Sneasel is about as overwhelmed as he is.]

[infinitefrown]

[Well?... ....

......oops they talked too much. They broke him.]

[infinitegrin]

? Is something wrong, Silver?

1/2

[tsuntrader]

No, it's- I--

[tsuntrader]

[...He pauses. He pauses for a very distinct moment as he very distinctly frowns and looks at the ground.

And then he looks back up, somewhat less composed and a whole lot more sincere.]

Ingo's- [He can say this. He can say this with a straight face.] important to me. And you're his family. [Family family family. It's obvious that there's a lot of emphasis on that word. Family is important, no matter what.] So I wanna make a good impression.

[Just say it.] But I'm really bad with people. [And this is his roundabout way of saying I am really really nervous and have no idea what to do.]

[infinitefrown]

[....a-- aw, silver

silver

silver

SILVER HONEY YOU'RE DOING FINE DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT OR THEM IT'S JUST oh my gosh now that you used words ingo doesn't know how to words emmet please pick up the slack he's sorry--]

[infinitegrin]

A good first impression?

[Emmet nods, chuckling a bit.]

It's true, you're not really talkative! You're awkwardly quiet, just like Ingo is. But Ingo trusts you. Not only trusts you, but is very fond of you - that's very obvious to me! Even now, he's really touched by you.

You've already boarded the right train to impress me. The train that makes Ingo happy!

[tsuntrader]

[...He- but--

The temporary nervousness is overshadowed by Emmet's words... And Silver looks up to Ingo. ...Is that true? Do you really...?]

[infinitefrown]

[agdsjkf-- well, Emmet just laid that out there for him.

Ingo adjusts his hat self-consciously, but he can't deny it. And why would he?]

...Yes. Ah, it's... [well, not much else to say...] ...yes. Of course.

[infinitegrin]

...Heheh. Ingo isn't good at talking about these sorts of things! But you'll learn, soon enough, how to read what he does.

I can't wait to get to know you, Silver! Because I know you're a great person.

[tsuntrader]

[...Ingo. Ingo, why do you trust him. And like him. And- wow, we sure are having problems with using words here, aren't-




Emmet no he's not a good person why would you- that's- but--

He. He is settling for nodding. Nodding is the most comfortable and least stupid option right now.]

[infinitefrown]

[Emmet seems to have most things covered.... but Ingo will recover himself, soon enough, and smile again (if a little hesitantly).

Here, Silver. Have a fond headpat. See! You're fine!]

[infinitegrin]

So! Come on, don't hesitate - board the train before it departs! Talk a little more, about whatever you like! I like everything!

[tsuntrader]

I... [What he... Likes? Does. Does not compute.

Uh.




... ... ...] ...I like trading? [And uh. Water types? And... Ice Cream? And his friends? What is he supposed to say here?
