IC CONTACT - ROUTE 29

[ It's Wednesday morning. Or, well, more like 1am. Ouka can't sleep, and she hadn't really gotten to know anyone else in this world.
Have a blip on your 'Gear. She's made a video call, but hung up a few seconds after it starts to go through. ]

[ It's late. You're probably asleep. Or traveling... ]
[ Normally she wouldn't give any fucks and just plow through with a call at 1am and demand it be answered. ]
[ But god... she's so upset right now. She can't think straight. And she really doesn't know you all that well, Isaac. And she just can't... just can't deal with being disappointed again. ]
[ At roughly 2:13am, she says 'fuck it' and tries calling again.
Just... just have this face, okay? ]

[Isaac normally has issues sleeping. He's trained himself into waking up at the slightest noise. He had to be able to get up and be prepared to fight at a moment's notice - especially while staying in Central before his death. Tonight's one of those nights where something woke him up (Ilex Forest isn't exactly a quiet place) and he can't quite get back to sleep.]
[The phone goes off around one and Isaac jumps a little. He's too late to pick it up before it stops ringing, and he can't figure out how to tell who just called him. He continues to mess with it for a little while longer before returning to training his Shellder, giving it quiet commands and watching it use Tackle on the wild Caterpie. They move on to beat up several more wild Caterpies, Weedles, and Parases before the second call comes in. This time he's quick to pick it up.]
[...Honestly, he would have expected Bradley before you, Ouka. It's late at night (early in the morning?) - why are you calling?]
...Ouka. What is it?
[That expression isn't one he's seen on her before; she's never looked so hurt.]
Did something happen?

[ She... hadn't actually expected you to pick up, honestly. Though, she's not sure what exactly she was expecting...
She hesitates, but answers his question with another one that is completely unrelated. ]
Did I... wake you up?

Ma...moru-kun... he's left and gone home.
[ It doesn't occur to her yet that he may not know who this Mamoru is. After all, the entire time she'd spent traveling with him, she'd been calling the boy she was about to meet "Omi-kun" and after finding out everything about this Mamoru person, she hadn't exactly wanted to talk about him. ]
He just left... without saying anything at all.

Mamoru...?
[Isaac frowns at that but falls silent, giving Ouka a moment to collect herself. He's never been good at comforting and isn't really sure how to go about it.]
...I've heard that people disappear from here all the time. It's normal. That doesn't make it any easier, I know. Is there... anything I can do to help?
[Short of returning to Goldenrod, he's kind of horribly lost in a forest right now... Hopefully Kimblee and Emmy know where they're going!]

[ You mean hopefully Kimblee and Emmy aren't too busy fucking like rabbits? ]
A-ah... he used to be Omi-kun. But then... [ An impatient wave of her hands ] It's... a long story.
... Where are you now?
[ Don't worry, she's not spoiled enough to demand that you come back for her. ]

[If they are he will be so disappoint NOT IN THE WOODS GUYS THAT'S GROSS]
...I see.
[Not... at all, but he's willing to let that go for now.]
Ilex Forest. We're heading back to Violet City. I need to obtain the badge there.
[Well, no he doesn't since he can't exactly get home, but collecting the badges is what trainers do, and he is a trainer. Besides, Isaac needs to do something with himself here.]

[ Eeeeew... Why do you even hang out with these people? ]
I... see. Where will you go after that?
[ There's a point to these questions, really. But she needs to ask them first.She may ask if she can follow you forever. ]
I... see. Where will you go after that?
[ There's a point to these questions, really. But she needs to ask them first.
[Because desperate, Ouka. Because desperate.]
We'll be heading back the way we came; there's a town on the way to Violet with another Gym to stop in. I guess after that we'll return to Goldenrod - that should be where the third badge is. Why?
[He's fairly sure there's a point behind this line of questioning! ...He can't tell what it is, but hopefully Ouka will enlighten him!]

[ Oh you poor bb... you must be super desperate. ]
Oh! I was just wondering when you would be back.
[ Have her best attempt at a kittyface while she's upset. ]
It's really lonely here. A few of Mamoru-kun's friends are here. But they're... [beneath her. Is she turning up her nose and scoffing a little? She might be. ] Not that nice.

[He really is, sob]
It'll be awhile. Kimblee said it'll take a couple of weeks to get to Violet.
[...And that doesn't cover training or the return trip. He didn't realize he'd be gone for that long.]
Really?
[Wait. That means you prefer him over people from your own world? ...Mamoru is from your world, right? Well, either way, that's a huge compliment and he's really not sure what to do with it other than... awkward at you. Nothing new!]
...Well, I'll be gone for awhile, but you can always contact me, Ouka.

[ What's with the awkward? Though, it is making her feel a little better. Because, dat face... It might be full of lols... ]
I will, then.
[ Oh god, Isaac. What have you gotten yourself into?DAILY 2AM PHONE CALLS? ... No, she's not that horrible of a person... She's also not as needy as Archer. ]
... Are you always up so late, though?
[ This tag has been brought to you bystrikethroughs ]
I will, then.

[But Ouka, his whole brain is crying! How does he deal with compliments?]
[Archer insists that you shut up and no he's not a jilted ex-girlfriend. He also needs to gtfo this tag.]
Not always. I have trouble sleeping sometimes. You can call me whenever; I'll answer.

[ She didn't even actually really compliment him... gosh, Isaac...
Have a bit of a headtilt. Now that she's mostly done rambling about herself, maybe she'll actually give you some time for yourself! ]
Trouble sleeping? Any particular reason?

[You should see him when someone gives him a real compliment, then!]
No, not really. I'm just used to getting up at a moment's notice, so I don't sleep very well.
[Yeah, like he's going to tell her that he ran around attempting to overthrow his country's government for seven years and then tried to freeze Central Headquarters over? She doesn't need to deal with any of that.]

[ She will one day, Isaac. One day. ]
Oh! Because you were in the military and all, you mean?

... Was it bad?
... Was it bad?
You're glad you left it, then?
The police force in Japan doesn't really do much. But once Father gets elected... he'll change that, I'm sure.
