[namesaquestion]

[Right now, text is easy to hide behind, though his spelling etc isn't the best, and he's liable to slip completely into chatspeak. To make matters worse, he hasn't actually slept at all since the night before last. There's a lot of stuff he'd really, really like to forget, thank you very much. And, he doesn't trust his voice.]

teh Ho-ohfuck is w/the world? Is that normal?

Yea, we got violense bt nthing lik that. ppl don't stab ppl.

who eles cmes from wrlds whr teh level of voilense wasn't like lst nit? [He wants to go home. Where the world makes Sense, and people don't do that stuff because, well, they just don't. Kids' Video Game Logic meets Real World Logic FTW?]

((OOC: Let me know if you'd rather handwave the chatspeak/spelling/grammar stuff!))

[ and no one is surprised ]

Are you alright? Did you get hurt?

[namesaquestion]

im fine. what teh fuk was taht last nite?

[ghoulking]

It happens sometimes. we are often targets and Swear-Ins are often used to attack.

[namesaquestion]

cus were differant?

[He's honestly trying to comprehend that. He might be a jackarse, but he does come from a world were values are different.]

action?? smears ur cr all over myself

[h2no]

[like a normal person, archie saw this and decided to hop over the fence separating heropa 001 and 002. thanks to angie, it didn't even hurt!

anyway guess who's gonna try the back door to see if its open. if it is he's just casually gonna let himself in and make a coffee. good shit. if not then he's gonna yell for niko.]

Hahaha. Niko is the best/worst CR, yes.

[namesaquestion]

[God, Archie. You need to knock before just letting yourself in.

It's like, at least five mins before Niko appears, blinking. He looks about as dishevelled as you'd expect.] This isn't your kitchen.

[More a flat statement that anything because. What.]

so good

[h2no]

You gotta learn to lock the backdoor.

[though to be fair archie isn't as likely to break in now as he was a couple of months ago. he leans back in his chair.]

You want a drink? I think we got some stuff to talk about.

[namesaquestion]

[There's a sound that could be a groan that turns into a snort.] Whatever.

[It's mumbled, and there's a long look before he shrugs.] We got nothing to talk about. 'm fine.

[It's going to be like pulling teeth to get him to admit anything is wrong.]

[Video]

[halloflamer]

[...The kid?] Huh? Didn't you and your team get out okay?

[Yeah, he totally missed the part where Archie ran back to get Niko and got stabbed.]

[He could say something about the Rockets here, about things they did to people and Pokémon- like Pokémon Tower- but. He won't. For once.]

...People aren't like Pokémon. They're just nasty for no reason at all, sometimes.

Text all the way.

[namesaquestion]

gt jumpt. [By more than three of the Crazy People on his way out.

It was a fun time!!!!]

[Yea, and Azalea Slowpoke Well, but that was more pokemon than people.]

thse ppl are crazy. ppl at home wudn't do taht. not to us, not to Psychics. [....like attack others just because they are different.]

[Video forever] poor Niko 8(

[halloflamer]

[Exactly, and well, it wasn't exactly right to say Pokémon were more defenseless than humans- especially children. But still.]

I guess so, I didn't even know people had a problem with Psychics. I mean, sure, it can be a little weird when they read your minds, but so do the Pokémon.

[Blue shrugs] Well, your Pokémon didn't get hurt, right? Woulda figured you'd have no problem ordering your Pokémon to take them out. [Blue would have just left those people in the fire if some nosy goody-goods hadn't told him to help evacuate them.]

Yep. Gotta love it when some sort of value dissonance comes into play.

[namesaquestion]

differant isnt bad. just differant. [Having a problem with it never even grossed his mind; sure, he hates the weak, but more or less stems from his issues with Team Rocket in general (presumably), but like, he'd sooner ignore them after all is said and done. It's one thing to own them in a battle. It's another to outright attack them for no reason.]

they were people. i kno teh rules. pokemon don't attack people unless under specific cercumstances. evn then.... [He waited until Archie did it, and Niko still feels uncomfortable with the fact. Using pokemon for intimidation? sure, that's all fine and dandy and he's done it before, but actually having them attack a person?

Um. Like. No?]

[bindsthedead]

It happens more than it should. But we can stop some of it.

And it doesn't always happen.

[namesaquestion]

ppl at home wudn't do taht, full stop. differant isnt bad. just differant.

[For all the implied things in the games (and for how much of a jackarse Nikolai is), people do tend to live together peacefully more than not.]

[bindsthedead]

Some imPorts are frightening. But I don't think those people did those things entirely under their own will.

[namesaquestion]

so r sum pkmn.

[Normally, he'd be able to figure out what the last bit meant, but right now? hahaha.] No. what r u saying?

[d33tached]

Did you get hurt?

[He'll respect Niko's boundaries and keep to texting from his room - he's really more curious than anything, not recalling having seen his roommate anywhere in the blaze the night before. Then again, there was an awful lot else going on to watch.]

[namesaquestion]

n. m fine. [No you're not Nikolai.]

saw sum1 get stabbed. [Well, the aftermath of it.] hverbords r good weapons.

[d33tached]

[It takes D33 a while to decipher what Nikolai is trying to say, but eventually he gets most of it - still not entirely sure what a "hverbord" is supposed to be. But the rest seems rather clear.

[His next question might come across a little blunt.]

Were they killed?
