oo1; video.

[The feed flickers on, and at first, not much more can be seen beyond a ball of very creamy fluff with a leaf attached to it. What a way to start a video introduction, what with the Leafeon dipping its head and sniffing at the camera. What a funny contraption, it might think.

From behind it, however, a voice rings out, one that is gentle yet awfully fast.]

Thank you for greeting everyone, Leafeon...! How very kind of you.

[The Pokemon cries out with joy and hops away from the camera, leaving it focused on a very familiar face, one with hazy grey eyes and minty-green hair cascading down his back. His ponytail is notably undone for now, a nearby fan blasting in his direction as he tries to cool off. Despite his clearly weary and scalding condition, he smiles brightly into the camera, hands clapping together.]

Smash Academy! It has been far too long. [He glances off to the side, seeming a bit bashful.] I, ah... I must apologize. I had more of the world to see, and I left rather quickly. I was uncertain that I'd done the disenrollment process properly, as well... [He faces the camera again, looking more uplifted again.] Regardless, the hands have given me a warm welcome, so I suppose I have done nothing wrong. In fact, they have allowed me to increase my grade. It seems I am in college now...!

[He briefly pauses, a hand cupping his chin as he ponders.] Yet, I am not sure how to begin with my major... What does an aspiring Pokemon professor take...? [He shakes his head.] I would think that is not urgent yet. I have to check on my friends! My dear, dear friends...

[He folds his hands neatly on his lap, grinning.] I have missed you all. How are you doing? Are you all still here?

This lil' ball of energy didn't sleep much last night, hahaha.

He sometimes ain't willin' to sleep but I told 'im after we played a lil', he'd sleep for a while or he'd pay for it later.

[N. Rocky is just special.]

Growin' mons need sleep. Even I do, okay, lil' guy?

Re: [video -> action]

[idealisms]

Ah, that... is worrying. Yes, Rocky, you should get some sleep. It will be of help to you, I promise.

[He frowns and looks down at the little guy. It's not like he wants to force him or anything...]

Re: [video -> action]

[star_punched]

["But I wanna plaaaaaaaaay", he whines and rolls.]

Hey, none of that, mister. You oughta listen to 'im, he knows more than me.

[Heeeey look N, we're double teaming parenting isn't this fun.]

Re: [video -> action]

[idealisms]

[QUITE.

... Okay, and nerve-wracking, too. He can't deny that.]

Ah, Bonsly... Please, do listen to our advice. I cannot make you do what you do not want to do, but I will try to guide you.

[He gives an uneasy smile.] Alright?

Re: [video -> action]

[star_punched]

[Hnnnn, okay fine...Bonsly pouts and goes to Mac's bed and under his covers.]

Atta boy, Rocky.

[Thumbs up in N's direction.]

Re: [video -> action]

[idealisms]

Ah...

[He sighs in relief.] Thank you, Bonsly. You will not regret your decision.

[He looks to Mac and gives him a nod of acknowledgement, and then a bit of a 'shh', finger to his lips. Time to let him sleep.]

Re: [video -> action]

[star_punched]

[Baby's asleep N,wanna get weird in the next room?]

[Mac positions to the door. Let us leave. Once they do Mac pats N shoulder.]

Awesome, that was awesome.

We were like parents in there.

Re: [video -> action]

[LMFAOGSFHOGUISP*DGJ]

[Haha, okay, that was definitely a success, and he takes Mac's words as a compliment, but... that last line...]

Like parents? I am not so sure if that is an apt description...

[EHEH...]

Re: [video -> action]

[star_punched]

Eh?

[He looks at N like he's COMPLETELY CLUELESS.]

Did I say it wrong or...what? Whaddya mean?

Re: [video -> action]

[idealisms]

Bonsly is young, and yet we are not its parents. Technically, we would only classify as its trainers.

[wow way to be so literal N]

Re: [video -> action]

[star_punched]

[Too literal. So literal it actually shocks Mac quite a bit.]

We don't hafta be N...I ain't a trainer, I ain't got my license to even train.

But I wanna take care of 'im and make 'im grow big n' strong one day.

So in the end, I can say I'm like his old man.

Well, technically, his Godfather.

Re: [video -> action]

[idealisms]

... That much is true. To me... that is simply friendship, as I've known it, but if you would like to play a parental role...

[Head-tilt.] I suppose I should be the mother then.

[welp........]

Re: [video -> action]

[star_punched]

Well...I do plan on havin' kids of my own someday...In the meantime, maybe this could be fun. Y'played House when you were a kid didja?

[Some. Day. Maybe.]

[..................................sdfsd]

You don't hafta call yourself a "mom" though. Call yourself the Dad.

Re: [video -> action]

[idealisms]

Played... `House`? Presumably a game in which you pretend to be a parent?

[Yeah, he's. He's never played it.]
