You've reached Ms. Lalonde. Unfortunately, I'm in no position to take your call right now. Please, do leave me a message and I shall get back to you as soon as I can. Thank you for your time.
[Everyone's gone to bed, but Bro's been drinking like. All day. He's finally reached the point where he's suitably fucking drunk, after keeping himself at a reasonable level of buzzed all day.
Which means now, obviously, is the time to make a fool of himself.]
lolande guess waht i ksissed a clwon today and i think a fucinf liked it but BUT you knweo what? you wree withouet a dbout the best kiss of the day that was just fcuking best kiss iev ever had in my etnire leife i jtsu thouht u shoud know that wishing every day was christmas so i coud od it again
o raelly? dat damn clown what a sneaeky motherfucker
[He's not in his right mind at all. He can feel himself wanting to say everything he's ever wanted to say. The only difference? His resistance is faltering fast thanks to the alcohol. It doesn't seem like a bad idea.]
thast a huge ugly lie i aeint ever met a lady like you! def not a better lady nto sure if one exsits nah i knwo there istn i said the swaeter you got me was the bset gift but that kiss wsa.
[She's giving you a raised eyebrow, Bro. But she'll text back.]
I thought I felt a disturbance in the Force.
Try and be a father? If that doesn't work, then there's always falling back on being her older brother. Really, it's not all that scary to be a parent.
how the fuck am i supposed to be a father? why do you think i decided to just be a bro? you honestly think i got what it takes to be a dad? because i sure as shit dont. i was born without the... thing. the thing that actually makes you capable of being a dad. its just not a thing i can be. i wouldnt do it right.
ok did no one tell bro john is slated to be one of us is this seriously what happened because if thats true i want to be the one to tell him come on it will make my fucking year
Nope, I completely forgot to tell him that was a Thing. Please, do go ahead and spring it on him. I'll be here to see his reaction up close and personal.
you probably haven't heard yet, but there was an attack on goldenrod this morning. rose was injured by some of the mons but it's nothing too serious. she's resting now. i just thought i would let you know before you heard about it on the news. also i uh...hope you are feeling a bit better now. than you were, you know...earlier.
wha fuckin ok gimme deets johnny or mama bear is going over to goldenrod in all ohner protective fury *her haha i think ohner is a german word sounds/looks like one anyway btw no im not all that much bette but tyvm for the cakes!
[ yo mom, you are now 13,000 richer. what do you do? ]
hi mom! thank you for agreeing to this venture :) i think it was pretty mutually profitable! let me know if you need any of mine if they do a kanto con :D
dave and i are heading over to saffron to pick up jane. everything's fine. nobody is dead or hurt or anything, jane will just be traveling with us for a while. we will be back in a couple of days, try not to have too much fun without us!
Hey, Roxanne. Do you have a moment? We need to talk, preferably in person if it can be managed.
[ About something on the heavier side of things, and the more she thinks about it, the more her stomach turns. It's been on her mind on and off for a while now only to return with considerable force since she found out Reno had arrived in this world. She pauses very briefly, then -- ]
[ Because while she's texted several people and still is, they aren't Roxanne, who she'd honestly like nothing better than to track down at the moment and just... sit down and talk to. About anything, really, except what's really bothering her. Maybe with a tub of ice cream. Ice cream sounds really good right about now. Of all the times for things to start catching up to her... yeah, she'll be taking a long swig from the bottle she's been nursing, then -- ]
[Mom is actually amused. First Bro dunk texts her, then she drunk texts other people, and now it's come full circle to Val drunk texting people. It's short-lived amusement, at least.]
Yes, I'm still up. Hard to believe, perhaps, but it is what it is. What's up, Val?
[ It's almost half past ten when Valeria stirs from the impromptu nap she quite literally fell into upon checking into a room at the inn in Saffron. Almost. Staring up at the ceiling through the darkness, she isn't entirely sure she's ready to be up yet, but she doesn't have to be up to send Roxanne a message, now does she? Reaching for the Gear on the bedside table, she'll blink away sleep with natural speed and begin to punch at the keys tiredly. ]
Hey, Roxy. We made it to Saffron around noon earlier today. I'm sorry I didn't let you know sooner. It turns out I was tireder than I thought.
[Whenever Mom returns to her room after her assuredly wonderful day, she will find a small, bright blue box sitting on the counter that was certainly most not there when she left. ON top of the box is a plastic container with a Red Velvet cupcake inside. Someone should really talk to John about using his ghosts to break into people's rooms. It's just not cool.]
[Inside the box medium-sized, white leather-bound photo album with simple gold embossing on the cover. Should she flip through it, Mom will find pictures of Rose and Dave taken over the various years and iterations in Johto. There are just as many terrible and embarrassing candids as there are actual nice, normal pictures. John, Jade, and couple of the trolls make appearances in some of the photos as well but it's clear who the real focus here is.]
[A little over halfway through the book, she'll reach a bright divider with a gold record in the middle of it. Past that point? The pages are filled with nothing but pictures of Dave, and most of them are nice shots instead of things that Dave would probably run John through with his sword for including. (Most, but not all.)]
[In the very back inside cover of the book is a note:]
i had a feeling that you were probably lacking in pictures of dave that weren't stupid selfie shots he took in the mirror. if you even had those, for that matter. he won't remember all the stories behind some of these pictures, since some of these are of past daves, but rose can help fill in some of the gaps since she took some of these pictures herself. but in any case, hopefully this will give you plenty to talk about with both of them.
[Mom can forgive his usage of ghosts for today. It's certainly been a wonderful Mother's Day, and a more treasured one since it's the first time she's celebrated it with Dave.
There's a lingering smile on her face as she gets back to her room. She spots the box almost immediately, since it's so bright and a bit out of place. Mom grins as she sees the cupcake, red velvet being her absolute favorite flavor. She sets the cupcake aside and opens the box.
She can tell that it's a photo album. She sits down on her bed and pages through it, giggling or laughing at the more ridiculous shots. When Mom reaches the golden disc, she's much more quiet, only smiling at Dave's embarrassing photos. Having these pictures, these memories, is simply the best and most priceless gift she could have ever received.
Upon reaching the end, she can't help smiling. Mom wipes her eyes, which are a little misty, and gently closes the book, keeping the note inside. She sets it on her bed for the moment.
With the help of Zazzerpan the Gardevoir, Mom is able to find John. She doesn't care what he's doing at the moment, she's giving him a tight hug and a kiss on the cheek.]
[Mom is soooo not awake enough at six in the morning. It's about two hours later that she's feeling coherent enough to check her 'gear. She's...surprised to see this.]
I love you, too, sweetheart, and I always will. What brought this up all of a sudden?

Clown kissing has been all the rage, apparently.
Even Striders cant resist their charms.
[This next part, though...she has to pause for a moment to think.]
You're very sweet to say that.
You certainly know how to make a lady blush!
But surely there are other people out there who are better than I am?
