Voice, backdated to the 17th, around dusk.

[Technically, Nikolai's bored -and killing a bit of time on his end- now his self-imposed-team-training exile is over.]

What, I get back from training my team, and you wimps are holding another Swear-in on the moon? Hmph. Serves you right if this one ends up like the last. Swear-In's on the moon tend to do that.

Aww whatever. For those who don't know, my name's Nikolai. I'm a pokemon trainer like Archie- the idiot pirate. Unlike him, I'm better.

[And he's still smug about that victory because of course he is.]

What happened last time?

it went 2 shit

there was a hostage situ thk 2 1 of the aleins here up there from wat i no

[ Allison stares in utter and increasing bafflement at the serious of letters and numbers that came back. Understanding basically 'shit' and 'hostage' and 'aliens' as the only words that sensibly strung themselves together in the hodgepodge of suddenly absolute chaos that was the response on her phone.

Concern of anything involving all three of those words and a mass of whatever that is flagging into existence as the first reaction beyond absolute confusion. ]

Are you alright? Do I need to get someone?

[If only he could see the reaction, he'd be laughing his arse off right now. As it is...]

wat? n.

lrn 2 read stupood.

[There are a few things in there that he didn't understand, but he's going to get to the important question first, of course.]

What the hell's a Pokemon?

[And in response to the resulting question, yes, he is always this grumpy.]

This.

[And he swaps to video long enough to get a short clip of the weasel-like creature by his side. Sadly, there's not much in the way of scale outside a glimpse of his leg, and it seems about half his height-ish?

And then it's back to voice because he's like that.] A sneasel - something from the world I came from. Tch. You new enough you haven't seen Archie's ones?

I don't know who Archie is.

[Someone's been a bit of a hermit.]

You train those? To do what?

A pirate wannabe from my world. [He's grown up enough to not point out it's another version of his world. For now at least.]

Hmph. To fight and win. Pokemon aren't good for anything else, but you could raise them as pets, but why bother? They like to fight and if they didn't- Well. They'd let you know if they didn't want to.

You train them to fight?

[It doesn't matter if they want to or not. That's not the important part to him.]

And to win.

[There's something of a savage grin to his voice]

Do you force them? How much of a choice have they got in this matter?

[Yes, yes he did at one stage.]

Shows what you know, but no. I didn't. If my team didn't want to fight and didn't like fighting, I wouldn't be here.

[And that is more sobering a thought than he wants to admit, but moving on-] What, can you talk to animals or something?

I don't know. That's why I asked. Should I take that reply to mean that they would have turned on you if you had tried to force them?

[There's a slight pause before his reply.] No, but my daughter could.

Pretty much. All of mine are predators, even if Sneasel's main prey is eggs. But it's small fry compared to the other three.

[-and flatly, after his own pause.] You must be happy.

That's something, at least. [No, he's not going to explain why he cares so much that they're not forced.]

I was.

Hmph. If you care that much, then you should be glad trainers like Team Rocket aren't here. They're the worst of the worst sort. Weak cowards who use and abuse pokemon.

[Pot. Kettle, Niko. Don't let Magneto find out.]

Aww. Did she leave or something? Boo hoo.So what? You'll get 'ported out too, eventually. Unless it likes you.

I've known some of that sort. With people, though, not pokemon.

[There's a tone to his voice that people who know him would recognize as 'dangerous'.] She died.

[See, he'd have a retort for the first, but -

Arcues fuck, what is it with him picking adults who can remind him of his father even after all these years? When he next speaks, there's hesitance and carefulness to the tone.] Right. Sorry. Death... It doesn't stick here. Not with us imPorts.

It didn't happen here. It's permanent, as death is. It wouldn't be death otherwise.

What exactly happened on the moon the last time?

Hmph. From what I know, there was a hostage situation thanks to one of the aliens. I'm undecided if I'm even going to go to this one given what happened last time.

[That and he has a few... issues with Space himself.]

...Seriously? [A heavy sigh follows. Because really people? Really?]

I'm thinking it might be best to skip it in this case.

I don't joke about things like this, even if I don't care to know all the details.

I'm with you on that even if it looks like Aegis Force is hosting it. I don't care to be a hostage or blown up or whatever might happen if there's a bunch of us imPorts in space together.

Didn't think it was a joke. I just...really need to stop being surprised at all the things that go on around here.

...Aegis Force or not, I really don't trust some of the imPorts to keep out of trouble that long.

Aww. Boo hoo. So sad, cry more. Lower your expectations and you'll find that easy. Unless you're the kind who think everyone is a ball of sunshine deep down, like some people I know.

[Not that he misses Kris or riling her up, nope.] Hmph. It's either get into minor trouble or sit on your hands waiting for something to happen while playing house.

Woah, chill on the hostility. It's not like I really expect much from this place anyway--it's more of a "I had weird stuff going on at home, this really shouldn't be a shock" kind of thing.

...Minor trouble is one thing. I don't think being in a hostage situation counts as "minor".
