005. [Video, and one other thing]
[VIDEO]
[Well! From the sound of the BGM, Ishimaru is currently back in Violet, though he's apparently holed up in Nondescript Hotel Room #356; he seems to have set the device on the table in front of him, and one of his Pokémon is actually out with him today - admittedly, it's a small pink tapir with flowers on it, and while it's definitely levitating itself it's tethered itself to his hair in a way that makes it look more than a little like some sort of really fabulous Combine headcrab. At least, he doesn't seem to mind - if anything, he seems a bit...lost in thought today. Not distracted, per se, just really contemplative.
And maybe a little peeved. Though that might be just his normal expression, it’s sorta hard to tell sometimes.]
So I've been told that I should probably start dressing like a "normal person."
[...okay, yeahno, he’s definitely a little agitated, though it's definitely more frustration than anger; he seems to realize then that his Munna is back and...well, doing the hair-thing again, and he takes a moment to retrieve her, holding her awkwardly in folded arms.]
While I find the way I dress to be completely appropriate and necessary, apparently that isn’t considered to be the case here! I don't see why - I'm a student, and therefore my clothing should reflect that! It's my profession for the time being, and as such the uniform of my profession is something that I should wear with pride!! It isn't proper conduct to do otherwise!
How...ever...
[Whatever he was going to say after that, he falters quite a bit; just...let him get his defensiveness levels down a little bit.]
...As fashion is something I've never really had a grasp on, I would...like to hear about what constitutes "normal" and how it can be achieved, as one's presentation goes!
Thank you for your time, and even if you don't reply, I want you to keep your head up and your eyes trained forward! Today is going to be a good day, I can tell!
[...yeah he kind of doesn't do "normal" well, um.]
[VIDEO - PRIVATE TO DANGANS, ALSO DORUMON]
[A second video will hit shortly after the first, now that he's finished discussing his hideous social failure; still in the Painfully Generic Hotel Room, still with the same setup going on, but at least he seems in somewhat higher spirits this time around, though he's still holding the Munna and seems determined to keep doing so until he's done filming.]
We've made it back to town as of yesterday - safe and doing well, as far as I know! It will be good to see you all again; hopefully you've all been well and keeping yourselves in line during my absence!

Voice
You should be proud of it.
Voice
[Finally.]
It's good to know someone else understands that!
Voice
I wear my suit because it's a symbol of my team. ...I'm not going to change, just to suit others.
Voice
[...]
Thank you, though. I appreciate it!
Voice
[Locked]
You doing ok?
[Even Rude got worried during that Pewter heist. Being pumped with Rhyhorn tranquillizers would mess with anyone but if the person in question is Ishimaru...]
Voice - Locked from here on!
Ishimaru notes the locking and he'll definitely respect that, though he has to wonder what...for; he's not exactly the paragon of understanding social nuances here, so just. Give him a moment.]
Yes...?
[...processing...processing...
...Oh!]
We got to Violet City just fine, and the...ah, tranquilizers seem to have been thankfully short-lived!
no subject
...you sure you want to keep doing this Rocket thing?
[That...just might be concern Ishimaru's hearing from Rude. Real, legitimate 100% genuine sincerity honest-to-goodness concern. Because although they may be two very different people who sit on different points of the alignment chart, Rude's actually...coming to like Ishimaru a tiny bit. He certainly likes the teen's determination and passion in pursuing his goals. And Ishimaru was always optimistic, but not obnoxiously so.]
no subject
[His response is immediate and incredibly adamant; he's quick to continue, however.]
But what I want to do and what I have responsibilities toward doing are often two different things - I know how it feels, it's not foreign to me! I'll be fine!
no subject
[Whether he's going to get caught by the police, or found out by Team Rocket, Rude deliberately leaves that out.]
Can you handle that?
no subject
no subject
no subject
no subject
There is something he can do though.]
...if you need help.
Call me.
[And even if you don't, he'll come anyway.]
no subject
I'll keep that in mind, Rude-san, thank you.
no subject
And look after...Alice and Oowada.
[It seems strange to say this, but...out of the three, Rude trusts Ishimaru the most. He feels some sort of obligation towards 'Alice' given that she was Reno's friend, and Oowada's not exactly the paragon of responsibility.]
no subject
Ah, don't worry about that - I don't want to see anything happen to them, either! They're like family to me now.
Maybe you too, one day. You never know.
no subject
I, umm...don't think that's...hmm.
["I don't think that's ever going to happen", is what he wants to say. But honestly...hasn't he seen enough of the impossible made possible?
He won't place any bets on this gamble but heck, if it actually happens...why not?]
Yeah. Maybe.
See you around.
