Goodbyes. [Video]

[monotreme_101]

Hey, gang. You probably already saw Goombella's thing about her leavin'. Sorry to say, but I'm goin' too.

Her Professor is sending a team to an Archaeological dig out in some place called Skyrim. So, there's plenty of treasure for me to hunt. Also? Dragons keep attacking towns in the area we're going to be researching. Like... huge dragons. REALLY huge Dragons. So, I'm going to go and fight them! Y'know. Keep the villagers safe and stuff.

[If you think you can hear barely contained excitement in his voice, you aren't dreaming.]

Anyhow, I'm gonna be around campus fixing up my affairs and stuff, and also packing at the apartment getting ready to move. So... uh. Heh. I suck at goodbyes but there's a bunch'a folks I need to say 'em to.

I'll catch you around.

[[OOC: So, if you think your character is someone Knuckles would want to say 'See Ya' to before he leaves, feel free to either set up an action post (I'm super flexible. Anywhere any time is fine.) or just reply to the video and we can go from there! If you would sooner not, then we can just assume they did their thing offscreen!]]

Hey, you never know. I hear they're as tall as Humans and pretty good fighters. I'm lookin' forward to meeting them!

[vela_nova]

You'll have to let me know how you do then.

[monotreme_101]

You bet. I'm gonna make sure to write often to let everyone know how we're doing out there. And If you ever want to write to me, I bet Para can bring me my mail. Guy can fly almost anywhere, it seems like.

....and I'd look forward to hearin' from ya. Just so you know.

[vela_nova]

You will. I promise.

[monotreme_101]

Awesome.

[Knuckles paused for a moment, not sure how to cross the next bridge.]

...Hey. Before I leave, I want to ask you to do me kinda a favor?

[vela_nova]

Of course. Anything.

[monotreme_101]

Keep an eye on Cyrus.

[There were a few people he had been considering asking to do this. He intended to say something to Max as well. But really, out of everyone he knew still at this school? She seemed the best choice to entrust this particular request to.]

He tried to unmake the whole universe once and nearly succeeded. I managed to put a stop to it by punching him and his Pokémon a bunch, and then he got sucked into a temporal distortion.

[See? He's learned some stuff by coming to school. Temporal distortion. Big words, heck yeah!]

I think now that I'm gone, he's gonna try and do it again. Just... keep an ear to the ground and an eye on him for me, OK?

[vela_nova]

[Blaze crossed her arms and nodded.]

That goes without saying. I've never had a good feeling about that man... But if he's as bad as you say, he needs to be watched. You have my word.

[monotreme_101]

Yeah. The guy is crazy - he wants to tear the universe apart, become a God and then put it back together just exactly as he wants it to be. I got no idea how he figures he's going to become some kinda deity or whatever? But he's got the first part of his plan pretty much down.

[He gave a small shudder. It had been a weird morning for him.]

If you have to hit the guy, go for the ribs on his right side. I cracked 'em up pretty bad and I'm sure it's still a weak spot. Also? He's got pretty strong Pokémon that are blindly loyal to him... it ain't ideal and it don't feel right, but you might have to take them on, too. Crobat, Gyarados, Weavile, Houndoom. Those are the ones I know. You want me to write that down...?

[vela_nova]

I'll manage. His plan won't get far, I assure you.

[monotreme_101]

I know. I trust you to take care of it.

[He smiled at Blaze - it was one of the measures of how far he had come that he could trust anyone to do anything.]

Heck. You'll probably do a better job than I did.

[vela_nova]

[She smiled back at the gesture.]

I don't know about that. But I'll try to make you proud.
