8th Stage ☢ A triumphant return [VIDEO]

[deathboss]

[For those who might remember him, Eikichi's beautiful face gracefully showed up in the halls of Smash Academy last year in February before disappearing for no reason. Yet now he is back, looking all the more confused.]

Hey uh...babes? [He's distressed, by the sound of his voice, but most of his facial reactions display complete and total confusion.] Michel's kinda confused that his clock says it's March 2014. Sure he's not that great with electronics but he's sure that's a year and month later than what the time's supposed to be!

Did the Hands pull a prank on everyone? Cause I don't see my roommate anywhere either...

[Dude had just stepped out to buy melons, what the hell had happened. If only he knew...]

Maybe what happened to me also happened to you. I left the school for a week to take my little sister home and when I got back, a whole year had passed here. It's really lame!

[deathboss]

[WHAAAAAAAAAAAT]

B-b-but I was just out to buy melons! MELONS!

[punchtheflute]

The movement of time doesn't care about melons or little sisters or whether you catch the right train. The way time works in this place is really weird? I wish Dana or Celebi were still here so they could help us. But they aren't. So they can't.

Anyway! My name is Sonny Moe, and I like melons too!

[deathboss]

...

[...]

I guess...dunno if I wanna go out and buy melons again.

Nice to meet you Sonny. [He's heard that name somewhere...] Wait you're one of Red's Pokemon, right?

[He's pretty smart, sometimes.]

[punchtheflute]

Yeah! That's right!

[Sonny isn't that surprised - he's more surprised when people HAVEN'T heard of the eighth-through-fiftieth wonder of the world that is Red from Pallet Town.]

It's nice to meet you, too! I'm really sorry about your missed year. I know it's really hard to deal with, so, if you need to talk about it, I'll listen! I know we don't really know each other very well but sometimes it helps to just talk about it.

[deathboss]

Ha! I remember him. That and Lyra and Silver talked about him for a few...

[But anyway, you sound like a nice guy.]

Well as long as I don't even up back in my homeworld with fifteen years gone then it'll be fine. But hey! If you wanna hang out, I ain't gonna say no, Michel's usually the one giving out advice, mind you. You might learn a thing or two!

[punchtheflute]

Lyra was a really nice girl. I don't remember really talking with Silver, though? He was a funny little guy! I thought he was some kind of Pokémon with his big, sticking up hair and glowing gloves.

[So many Silvers.]

[....well OK only two but still.]

Alright! I like to hang out! Why don't you come to the student kitchens and I can make you a sandwich and we can talk?

[deathboss]

...I don't remember that Silver. [The hell. Unless he was also a Pokemon too, but no this guy would have realized that.]

Sure! Hold off the sandwiches, I'd rather go for salad and watermelon myself. Does the kitchen still have honeydews?

[punchtheflute]

Oh? You don't? Even if I didn't talk to him he's kind of hard to forget.

Honeydews? Maybe. I can check for you! No watermelon, though, because it's still winter. But if you want, I can cut up an apple for you?

[video --> Action]

[deathboss]

Well I got the melon from the trip...[He holds the things up. This is what landed him coming back after a year, after all.] But this sounds good to me! See you soon.

[He closes the feeds and makes a beeline towards the kitchen. Hey where's the bear anyway? Don't tell him he left the last year...]

[Action!]

[punchtheflute]

[Nancy still worked here as the Lunch Bear but he wasn't in the kitchens right now. Instead you get the other white meat. I mean the other cooking bear monster.

Sonny was good to his word and had cut up an apple for his new buddy. He was pretty good with a little knife when it came to slicing up fruit.

When Michel walked in, Sonny gave him a big wave.]

Hi!
