[For all the talk he does, Nikolai sounds like he's somewhere with waves crashing against rocks.] Raise your hand if the Porter likes you enough to bring you back, what, three, four times? Three's my guess. My so-called job and housing changed again. [There's a cross between a snort and a sigh] Both hands up if it's been months to you yet only a month here. Does this mean I get two 'you're fifteen now' birthdays?

Aww, whatever. At least my powers stayed the same. What a waste though. I come back and only one of us is around and not the one I wanted. Hmph. You better have Mutt and the place you rented for me, Archie. [Something in his voice suggests he's Serious.]

I'm sure Archie will have something for you.

[ She doesn't know if it's a relief to hear Niko...but at least Archie's still here to keep an eye on him. She never understood the kid, but she had some concern for him. ]

Happy birthday, I guess?

[namesaquestion]

He better. I left my dog and the rest of my stuff to him.

... Thanks, I guess.

[queenofseers]

You got an extra dog that wasn't from your world? I thought you people had enough to take care of already.

[ That's actually kind of endearing, but she's curious as to his reasoning. ]

So what exactly happened while you were gone? Or do you want me to explain that for this end of things first?

[namesaquestion]

Come to the battle in a week and you'll see.

[He honestly sounds excited; like he's barely keeping everything back. But, the look on Archie's face when he brings his crobat out is going to be worth it.]

Pokemon can be put in pokeballs. Mutt can't. She's different.

Three times? That's a lot.

Welcome back, Nikolai.

Re: Voice

[namesaquestion]

This stupid place likes me or something.

[...] Thanks, I guess.

[darkpants_warmfeeling]

No problem.

You mentioned your housing changed. Where did they put you this time around?

[namesaquestion]

Jeopardy sucks. But I won't be here long... Assuming Archie still has my place.

Not sure how I feel about not being a student though. Whatever. You wanna see something cool? Me and Archie'll be having a battle in about a week. You should come.

[He's more than a bit excited, if only because he's going to reveal his crobat. Come see his crobat!!]

[tenofswords]

Welcome back, Nikolai.

[namesaquestion]

Thanks, I guess. Hmph. I had things I was working towards back home. Guess they're on hold again.

[Not like he can't work on the things here but still!]

[tenofswords]

Well, if you ever need to talk, I still work at the teen counseling center.

[namesaquestion]

... ... ... I'll think about it.

[heliophilic]

One more time you get a prize.

[namesaquestion]

Oh? What kind of prize? New powers or going home for real?

[heliophilic]

The joy of Archie's company 24/7.

[plentystrong]

FOUR TIMES???

[namesaquestion]

Tch. Yea. I lost count. What of it?

[plentystrong]

I just got here and whenever I get out, I really don't wanna be dragged here again.

[ghoulking]

It seems the porter likes you quite a lot.

Welcome back, Niko.

[namesaquestion]

Thanks, but I had things I was working towards back home.

[He sounds more put out than anything by now.]

[ghoulking]

Hm, I'm certain. But you'll get back to them once you return. [ AGAIN..... ]

Is everything alright, in your world?
