"Altho 04-C/D - 2" By Botherer (https://pastebin.com/u/Botherer) URL: https://pastebin.com/Fpgv4sKa Created on: Friday 2nd of September 2011 01:35:59 AM CDT Retrieved on: Sunday 1 of November 2020 03:10:27 PM UTC 01[01:18] TIME: February... 4th - Not too long after Teahouse Shenaniganry(?) - Somewhere in the middle of scenic nowhere, whatever calm may have previously existed in the area finds itself abruptly shattered by the ringing of Kuji's cell phone. 06[01:20] * Kuji fumbles with the phone, stopping to the curb... how literal DID he take that driving manual? "Hello?" 01[01:21] "Hello... This is Kuji, correct?" The voice should hopefully sound familiar enough to Kuji. [01:21] "Oh, Trevor! Nice to hear from you again!" 01[01:24] "I should... Probably start by apologizing for not calling you when I told you I would have... I've had quite a few things to take care of recently and simply hadn't the time for it." [01:25] "Oh. You said you'd call?" Kuji scratched his head, completely forgetting about it. Good thing he's stopped on the curb... "Ah, well. What's the problem, Trevor?" 01[01:26] ( Problem as in "What caused you not to call?" or problem as in a more "Whassup?" sense? *Derping hard right now* ) [01:26] (Latter.) 02[01:28] * Thores (Thores@sux-D0B43DB3.no.no.cox.net) Quit (Quit: ) 01[01:28] "Well, I was actually calling in hopes that you had available a method to get in contact with Camellia... Or Steve, from the circus..." [01:29] "Camellia is sleeping in the car right now, and I have Steve's number. Why do you ask?" 03[01:30] * Thores (Thores@sux-D0B43DB3.no.no.cox.net) has joined #althoregion 01[01:31] "Well, I'm presently at the hospital with one of my friends, and I was considering acquiring a Pokemon for him as a Get Well present of sorts..." [01:31] "...ah... hm... let's see... who are you friends with..." [01:32] "Oh, yeah! That Maus kid from the mansion!" 02[01:33] * zoofman (zoofman@sux-D3486381.hsd1.va.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout) 02[01:34] * Thores (Thores@sux-D0B43DB3.no.no.cox.net) Quit (Quit: Thores) [01:35] (I WAS waiting on you, but I'll type.) 01[01:35] ( I just hit a brick wall here Dx ) [01:35] "So, um... what kind of Pokemon do you want?" 01[01:37] "I was looking into several Pokemon, and I thought that perhaps he'd enjoy another Eevee, especially since it would be more likely to get along with the one he already possesses..." 01[01:38] "I would have attempted to purchase one myself, but the Internet surprisingly isn't a particularly good forum for that..." [01:38] "Oh, of course! When Camellia wakes up, I'll ask her." [01:38] "Haha. Technology: good and bad at the same time." [01:39] "Good thing all I have is this rinky-dink phone." 03[01:39] * zoofman (zoofman@sux-D3486381.hsd1.va.comcast.net) has joined #althoregion 01[01:41] "It'd be much appreciated, Kuji... Perhaps you could have her give me a call herself when she awakens..." 02[01:41] * Eris (Milanda@sux-1B701494.ph.ph.cox.net) Quit (Ping timeout) [01:42] "Oh? Why are you being so secretive?" 01[01:42] "And I don't quite know if it's an issue of technology moreso than their rarity, perhaps..." 01[01:44] "Secretive? Well, I was hoping to offer it as a surprise..." [01:45] "Alright. Me, Camellia, and Steve will keep the Eevee a surprise from Maus... oh, yeah, why IS Maus in the hospital, anyways?" 01[01:47] "It's... Just onset of illness. It turned out not to be anything terribly serious, but it's better that he's here anyways." [01:48] "...it's not serious, and he's in the hospital..." [01:48] "He looks like the kind of kid who just needs some rest for that kind of stuff." 01[01:49] "Well... Neither of us had known just how serious it was beforehand..." [01:50] "..." [01:50] "Trevor. Are you lying?" [01:51] "Let's face it." And the legs go on the wheel. Again, good thing he's parked on the curb. "Maus is a much stronger kid than you." 01[01:52] "Don't you believe that to be in bad taste, making false claims about being in the hospital?" [01:52] "..." [01:52] "Alright, let me ask this question." [01:52] "Who's visiting who?" 01[01:53] "I already stated it previously, Kuji. I'm accompanying Maus." You can hear just a little bit of irritation in his voice. [01:54] "Alright, can you give the phone to Maus for me?" 01[01:55] "Maus is currently resting at the moment... If he weren't, I wouldn't have been able to call you at this moment." [01:56] "Alright. Who's closer to the entrance?" 01[01:57] "I am... Though I don't quite see what relevance that bears..." [01:57] "..." [01:57] "Alright, then." 06[01:58] * Kuji puts his feet down on the car mat. "Anyways, you wanted an Eevee for him, right?" 01[01:59] "That's correct, Kuji. I figured it would have been best to ask Camellia if she could lend Chai towards breeding another one with Steve..." [02:00] "Alright. We'll deliver the present as well. What's the hospital and room number?" 01[02:03] "Wouldn't it be more convenient to just use the PC system? I wouldn't want to burden you and Camellia any further than I already am..." [02:03] "I have no idea how that works." [02:04] And yes, Kuji is telling the completely and utter truth. 01[02:06] "Ask Camellia about it when she awakens, if she's approving of it... If neither of you can figure out the PC systems, you can send me a call and I can attempt to guide you through it..." [02:07] "..." [02:07] "Alright." [02:08] "...you know, Camellia's probably going to be worried about Maus, you know." [02:09] "After all, we did go exterminate the mansion together." [02:09] At this point, Trevor can hear a car starting up. 01[02:10] "I might have said a bit more than was necessary... I... didn't intend to raise your concerns, Kuji... And Maus probably wouldn't approve of me mentioni-Kuji, what's going on over there?" [02:11] "I'm about to drive. You wanna tell me the truth now? I'd rather not arguing with you while on the road." 01[02:13] "I've already stated the truth, Kuji..." [02:13] "..." 03[02:13] * DamienLunas (DamienLuna@sux-27BF3D1.hsd1.wa.comcast.net) has joined #althoregion 02[02:14] * Plutonis (Plutonis@EC6B8665.13BF446F.B65C4779.IP) Quit (Quit: O, the world of dharma is filled with light.) 06[02:14] * Kuji BREAKS THE LAW (GASP) and starts driving with the phone on his shoulder."Anyways, after I drop them off at the gym, I'm going to go visit the hospital, okay?" 01[02:17] "I don't believe that will be necessary, Kuji... You're probably terribly far away, anyways, if you're in the midst of a drive, and by the time you return Maus may very well be discharged..." [02:19] "...alright, then." Kuji sighs and pushes on the gas, speeding up a little. 01[02:21] "Kuji... We're fine; in all seriousness, we are. There's no need for you to hurry yourself over us!" [02:21] "I'm heading to Gryllsville. Camellia wants to try her hand at the gym first." [02:21] "Frankly, I feel like having another spar." 01[02:23] An audible sigh of relief can be heard from the other side of the phone. "I see you're still quick to take up the offensive, Kuji..." [02:24] "Well, I'm pissed off right now." 01[02:25] "What's the issue, Kuji?" [02:25] "NOTHING." That force. [02:26] "I'm going to go hang up now." [02:28] And soon, Trevor can hear the phone being dropped before the phone is hung up. 01[02:28] "I apologize, Kuji... In all honesty, I didn't mean to cause the distress over ending up in the hospital that I have..."
