6th pokeball [mass mailbox notes + text]

[ghostytrainer]

[John isn't typically one for waking up early in the morning, but with as much as he needs to do today he needs as early a start as he can get. His first stop is the mail room, where he sets about putting the following note into the mailbox for every tower resident. Because this seems like a much safer option than the network.]

[Once all the letters have been delivered and breakfast devoured, he heads to the library to take care of TDL item number 2: finding a fighting mentor.]

somehow i get the feeling that this sort of thing isn't an uncommon request around here but whatever, i need some help.
i need to learn how to fight.
i was lucky enough to get one of my hammers back today, but it's been over two years since i've used it and the rust shows.
especially since i never had any real training with the thing in the first place.
i am pretty sure i have sparring partners covered, so what i really need help with here are the fundamentals of hammer and/or fist fighting.
in return, i can offer...uh
something.
idk what exactly, but we can figure something out.

((ooc: For those who don't know, John managed to get a video recording of the soul extraction process during the Something Unexpected event. And like hell is he not going to share it after all that. I really didn't want to copypasta the same note onto a billion mailbox posts so I figured this would be easier. I'll be tossing up a log to actually thread out the tape showings either later on today or tomorrow. If you want your character to run into him in the mailroom on this post though, that's a-ok with me.))

yeah i figured.
kind of had you slated to be a sparring partner already.
but you are right, i am frowning at you a little bit right now.
:/
see?

there's only one windy thing i can do and it has nothing to do with sburb powers.
in any case, i don't know how much help that will be. they can take our powers away. AND our pokemon too.
hence why i'm asking about this in the first place. i need to be able to defend myself with my own two hands/hammer in case that happens again.

[turntechtrainer]

im not even going to guess what you mean because ill have to punch you
yeah i know
they take away my time powers like the drop of a hat
but when you have it could be useful like a knockback
but youre right its time you got back up to fighting speed
we should get rose in on this too
anyone we know that needs some brushing up and shit

[ghostytrainer]

:P

[Hey, at least he can still joke after all he went through last month?]

i guess...
but like i said, i don't even know where i would begin for something like that.
the only other person i could ask is the other john but i haven't seen him in ages.
not sure if he's even still here, to be honest.
if it weren't for the fact that there are a few graves labeled "john egbert" i would have a much easier time knowing for sure.
but apparently alt johns come and go from here a lot.

[turntechtrainer]

thats not unsettling or anything
this whole tower is some creepy horror show
so when do you want to start this magical journey with me into getting back into shape land
we can start with simple running then ill randomly attack you for fisticuffs
you wont even see it coming

[ghostytrainer]

it is. but it's the easiest way to know if someone is gone.
there's an empty grave in the graveyard for every person who leaves the tower.
hmm. monday might be best. i have a few things i need to take care of this weekend.
but i have already sworn off using the elevator so that's a start, right?

[turntechtrainer]

yeah its a start
monday it is
gives me time to grab what i need

[Sound any more ominous there, Dave.]

[ghostytrainer]

that doesn't sound ominous or anything, dude.
should i start expecting ceiling ambushes on my way to the bathroom? 6am wake up calls?
deflecting bottles of aj with the force?

[turntechtrainer]

nah
im not bro randomly attacking all the time
im a big time dude got shit to do

[ghostytrainer]

oh good. i can breathe easier now.
and i don't have to warn rose to keep a loot out for ceiling ninja brothers at the ass crack of dawn.
how magnanimous of you to take time out of your busy schedule for little old me though, bro.
/swoon

[turntechtrainer]

dude what you and rose do in private i dont want to see
besides like she wouldnt know if i made myself at home on the ceiling
shed do something to disturb us both and id never recover

wow i really could not type yesterday...so many typos

[ghostytrainer]

...point.
actually though, that reminds me.
i never did apologize to you for that whole uh...day-after-valentine's fiasco did i?
so uh. sorry about that. really stupidly late.

hahaha

[turntechtrainer]

its fine man
in fact lets never mention it again
embarrassing day what embarrassing day
shit that must have been some other guy

[ghostytrainer]

sounds like a plan.
i have already forgotten what we were just talking about.

[And instantly the awkward is gone. Man they are so good at this.]

did that egg or yours hatch yet, btw?

[turntechtrainer]

yeah it did
bro the bagon is joining team strider
he eats a ton and keeps trying to find high places to jump from
i feel like this is a statement about bro in general

[ghostytrainer]

pfftt. laughing at that harder than i should be, probably.
just imagining this little bagon jumping off the boxes in the storage room.
is he trying to fly or something?

[turntechtrainer]

yeah i think hes trying to fly
the dex says they do this until they evolve wings
i have no idea how they survive long enough to evolve

[ghostytrainer]

pfftt. that's kind of cute actually.
worrisome.
but cute.
at least this one has someone to look out for it.

[turntechtrainer]

shit yes he does
ill keep an eye out for his adventures towards the great blue
have to do this stuff right
but seriously i dont know how they survive to become winged terrors in the sky
he climbs things faster than a ninja and leaps off without a thought about the distance
it does even make sense for them to climb and leap
thats completely counter productive to their survival

[ghostytrainer]

maybe they have really, really, really hard bones.
like nigh indestructible so that they can pull off crazy shit like trying to fly without the necessary appendages.
don't stifle his dreeeeaaammmssss!

no but yeah, it's pokemon.
probably best not to even question it.

[turntechtrainer]

right
pokemon always are confusing and having no logic to them at all
its where logic goes to die a horrible death

anyway yeah
best not to question it
