Hey, it's Jimmy, and I can't come to the whatsit right now. Drop me a line and I'll catch you on the flip side.

Henry, if you're the one who left Dodritos all over my sleeping bag-- and I know you are-- I'm gonna freakin' kill you.

They'd better not be there when I get home!

[Voice]

[anexcitableboy]

[Whoah, angry girl from the future on his 'gear all of a sudden!]

Uh...not Henry. I'm pretty sure I'd remember if I was anywhere near your sleeping bag!

This is Jimmy.

... Oh.

Oh shit.

I'm sorry, dude.

I was trying to call my roomie.

Are you the Jimmy who is moving in with Ib?

[Hi, Jimmy, you've never met this guy before, but he doesn't seem to care too much about introductions.]

[anexcitableboy]

Yeah, that's me, Jimmy Darling.

[Well there's a face that wouldn't look at all out of place back home.]

You a friend of hers?

[A LETTER] June 2nd

A LETTER:

Dear Jimmy,

I hope this letter fins you well! I know that we are little more than strangers, but you have left quite the impression on me! Sadly, I must leave, but I did not want to shuffle off this mortal coil and not leave something behind for you! I hope one day Halloween will fill you with the same joy it does me.

If I bump into that demon, I'll give im a stern talking-to.

Break a leg,
Jack Skellington, Pumpkin King of Halloween

GIFT:
>A teeny tiny Pumpkaboo named Lenore. She screams like Satan.

Hi Jimmy! It's Draculaura! I just made it to Violet City - that took FOREVER! I think I might stay for a little while, explore the ruins, see what the badge thing is all about, and for some reason all the city folk are screaming about something nearly running them over...

But I totes remembered our promise to get together! Call me anytime!

Voice

[anexcitableboy]

Hey! Glad you made it! Violet's nice, usually.

But I heard a guy in the lobby talking about being attacked by some weird Pokemon. I didn't think they attacked people. Something might have happened, to get'em all worked up. I dunno, maybe...a storm coming, or something like that. That can mess up animals....

Anyway, there's a little place by the Gym that's got a whole vegetarian menu.

[backdated to like, October 6th, when Wrath remembers he has a PokeGear]

[garbagechild]

_{[The feed crackles a little, and the voice that follows the static is a bit croaky.]}

Jimmy?

Jimmy?

Uhm... if you're there, it's me, Wrath.

[anexcitableboy]

Holy shit, Wrath!

[Jimmy answers his gear immediately. He's been worried sick about Wrath, but his attempts to find the kid had done nothing.]

Are you okay? Where've you been? What happened?

[Text] January 4th

[wing_attack]

I'm heading out to the Lake of Rage north of Mahogany again. I need some time away from people. I'll be okay, I just didn't want you to worry if you came home and I was gone.

I'll probably be back in a little bit. Let me know if you need anything.

[He's thought about the nice guy with the ridiculously optimistic outlook on life off and on ever since hanging up on him. It was mostly "off" at first, squashing the memory down and burying it with the rest of everything that he doesn't want to recall. Then the memory would sneak back, bit by bit, at first only nudging gently at his mental barrier and quickly retreating again when he shoved it away. It wasn't an ideal arrangement, but it worked, and he had Murder Chicken and the weird green world in general for a distraction, so it had been fine.

And then Angel had showed up. She had talked to him, and smiled at him, and offered to help him. She had taken his hand, and straight up hugged him. She knew exactly what he was, and it didn't matter to her. She wanted to be his friend, anyway.

It had become much, much harder to shove away his memories of Jimmy after that. Maybe it really wouldn't matter to him, either, just like he had said.

Even so, it still takes him a long time to do anything about it.

But he does, eventually, with a short little text message that's just about as cryptic as everything else he manages to express.]

thE pSYchO Is bACK in HIS HeaD anD ACCePTIng visITorS.

[It's not an apology. He's not sure how to do those, anyway. He's not used to reaching out, either, which is partially why it took him so long to do that. Maybe Jimmy won't respond, which would be okay. But the action brings him a tiny bit of peace from the increasingly persistent memory of their first conversation, and if nothing else comes from it, that small reprieve will be good enough.]

[anexcitableboy]

[Well hey, that sure is a strange text out of nowhere. Thankfully the 'gear is crazy smart, and displays the name of who's contacting him. Not that Jimmy can think of very many people who'd send him a text like that. Sure, Wrath can't type well, but he can't spell, either.]

[On the other hand, Wrath's meaning was much easier to figure out, once the words had been phonetically sounded out.]

That so? Cool! How's it going?

[Jimmy's guessing it's just a standard greeting for this guy. Like how Meep would bite the heads off of things to say 'hello'. Honestly, he's glad to hear from the guy.]

19th October [ Video ]

[11121_assumption]

[ Walter's sitting on his bed, legs crossed under him. In his lap sits Assumption, who grins and waves to the camera when the screen loads up. He's gotten over the excitement of his mark but still wanted to show Omi, and upon hearing that his trainer was calling Jimmy he eagerly got into the shot. For once, Walter isn't wearing his blue coat but has a cream turtleneck on, with thin vertical lines on it. He nods to the camera. ]

Hello Jimmy. There's some questions I have that...I was hoping I could ask you.

[ Video ]

[anexcitableboy]

Hey!

Yeah, sure. What's up?

October 31st, action!

[fuelthefire]

[It's been a surprisingly long, and surprisingly fun night. The excitement is over but Krieg is still wound up and not quite ready to head back to Ecruteak.

Plus, there's someone he feels he ought to visit, since he's in town. It's only right, since Jimmy came out to see him a while ago. That's how these things work, right? He's pretty sure it is, anyway.

Given the events of the past few hours, it's entirely possible Jimmy might not be at home, or that he might be at home and sleeping - like a normal human being - but...well, there's a light on, despite the lateness of the hour. Being fairly new still to this whole polite society thing, it doesn't occur to Krieg that it's really a bit too late to be calling on friends, even friends he really wants to see. The light's on, so Jimmy must be awake, and that's all he needs to know.

So he stumps right on up to the front door and knocks...with his fist, so it's really more like BANG BANG BANG! rather than an actual knock.

Psychos, man.]

TRICK OR TREAT, JIM DEAR!

[anexcitableboy]

[Jimmy stays in on Halloween. It wasn't that long ago that he'd nearly died, and witnessed a spectral demon kill somebody else. The demon that came for his people, if they dared do anything to draw attention to themselves on Halloween night.]

[So he's in bed with comic books and music on and his bedroom lights all on, completely assured that everybody else can handle the attack on Goldenrod. Unless someone tries to break into his house - and good luck, with all the Pokemon on hand - he's not budging.]

[Just to be safe.]

[Once things are quiet, he figures that's it. Tobias would probably be home soon, maybe they could have a late dinner and Jimmy could hear about the action. So when the banging comes at the front door, Jimmy is...startled, to say the least.]

[But the booming voice he can clearly hear, even in his room, clears up any confusion immediately. He bounds downstairs in his pajamas - a pair of flannel PJ bottoms and a gray strap shirt - and opens the door for her giant buddy.]

Hey Big Guy!

[ January 1st / DELIVERY ]

[11121_assumption]

[ Hey Jimmy! A Honchkrow is at your door, flanked with a small gathering of Murkrows! Darkness eyed Jimmy for a moment before dropping off a parcel with a soft 'caw', taking off with his children taking flight after him.

In the parcel is a red wooly hat with a white pom and hem! Very fashionable. And RageCandyBars, a sort of selection box containing several bars of the different types available. With these two gifts is a note. ]

For Jimmy
- Walter

Text!

[11121_assumption]

Jimmy, could you help me with something?

I'm going to be attending the Prom, but I've never attended anything like it before. The invitation mentioned formal clothing. I've never had any before and I don't know what I'm supposed to be looking for. Could you help? I asked my pokemon but they all had differing ideas.

- Walter

Text!

[anexcitableboy]

Hey Walter!

Oh you're in for a real treat, I've been to these big parties before. They're crazy! Great food, cool places, all kinds of neat stuff! And I got to get a new suit anyway. We can go hit the department store!

package

[toxicodendron_isley]

Along with a holiday card, Jimmy is getting a present.

A handwritten notebook filled with notes and sketches on the fundamentals of gardening. And a step by step process for fledging gardens looking to grow produce. Including timeframes, equipment, soils and fertilizers and the best species for beginners. There's a note that says;
"This should get you started. Let me know if you need more, sweetpea. X"

This is from Pamela Isley herself, so long as you follow this your garden should be flourishing. She's included some of her own home grown berries too.

[action] December 26th

[fuelthefire]

[It's about one in the afternoon when Krieg turns up on Jimmy's doorstep, decked out in his new Blaziken hoodie. His mask is nowhere to be seen - a red scarf dotted with cute orange and yellow Torchics seems to have taken its place, and is wrapped securely around his neck and the lower half of his face. He's cradling a one-eyed Darumaka in one arm, and holding a pair of slim, gift-wrapped packages in the other hand.

Since it's difficult to pound loudly on the front door with both hands full as they are (and he also doesn't want to upset the little monster in his arms with a loud noise), he does a little bit of juggling and rings the doorbell instead. Hopefully the doorbell works, and also hopefully Jimmy is home.]

[anexcitableboy]

Big Guy!

[Jimmy grins when he opens the door. Now that's a great surprise.]

Hey, come on in! I didn't know you were in town, shit, I woulda had you over already!

February 14

[fuelthefire]

[It's Valentine's Day, and there's a special card for Jimmy - it's nothing fancy, just a piece of cardstock, folded in half with a cut-out illustration of an anatomically-correct heart glued to the front. Inside is a handwritten poem, heartfelt despite the messy handwriting.]

Aortas are red
Bruises are blue
You're a really great guy
I'm glad I know you!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY, JIM DEAR!

-KRIEG

[anexcitableboy]

[Later that day, Jimmy sends Krieg a quick text message.]

best valentine i ever got, big guy!
