I found something that shouldn't be here. There's no way in hell they should be here, but I found them.

Is anyone else finding things like that? Something personal that you didn't have a week ago? Because one of my Pokemon came out of her ball wearing- and I don't understand.

Hey, where are you two at? I know where Imogen is, but it's been radio silence from you two. We should meet up, I can come to you guys pretty quick once you tell me where to meet you.

You're right. Thanks, Hope.

You're welcome, Steve.

You can speak to me any time about this. It helps to have someone who knows what it is like.

[starspangledavenger]

The same goes for you, Hope, you can come talk to me about this anytime.

[It takes him about three minutes to reply because buh. He has a past and it sucks. Wording things is tough when it's at the forefront of his mind.]

Thank you, Steve.

Though anything we talk about may be a long discussion.

[eagletalons]

Not that I am saying no. It would just be very, very long and difficult.

[starspangledavenger]

I understand, that's not a problem. The stories that matter most often take forever to tell.

[eagletalons]

And best done in person.

[starspangledavenger]

That does tend to be best, yes.

[eagletalons]

Perhaps one day, then.

[starspangledavenger]

I'm sure we'll cross paths again one day.

[eagletalons]

Or we can schedule something for the future.

[starspangledavenger]

Sounds like a good plan.

text; filtered

[eagletalons]

Would you like a set date now? I find something scheduled is refreshing in a world that is highly unpredictable.

[starspangledavenger]

Sure, it'd be nice to have something to look forward to. When might work best for you? I'm pretty flexible.

[eagletalons]

So am I.

Normally I would suggest a day that has special significance to either of us to make it easier to remember, though I sometimes have trouble translating my world's calendar to this one.

[Which leaves something on Steve's end.

When is your birthday?

[starspangledavenger]

[Steve realizes, not for the first time, how strange it will be to celebrate his birthday without the whole country celebrating for their independence.]

July 4th, so a few weeks from now.

[eagletalons]

[Unfortunately Hope's one of those who doesn't know the cultural significance of that particular day, but he does know how important birthdays are (of other people that is. his own? not so much).]

Mine is in February. Yours is much closer, and a shorter wait.

[starspangledavenger]

[It's okay, Steve doesn't expect a lot of people that aren't from earth and American to know or care]

Then July 4th it is. Where would you like to meet?

text; filtered

[eagletalons]

It's you birthday. I think it's appropriate to follow anything you have planned for the day.

text; filtered

[starspangledavenger]

At the moment, meeting up with you is the only plans I have.

[eagletalons]

Pick a city then, any city.

Is Olivine too far out of the way for you?

text; filtered

[eagletalons]

[Considering he's going to Kanto? Any place in Johto is out-of-the-way. But at least he has three-soon-to-be-four fliers and a lot of time on his hands.]

Not at all. Actually, I know a place there.

text; filtered

[starspangledavenger]

I'll take your word on that. Well, you did say you stayed here for a while, so I'd suspect you'd know a few places around there.

text; filtered

[eagletalons]

I do, actually.

[Insert an address here, for a large house with its own private section of the beach and a cabana in the backyard.]
