12th bloom; renewal

[punchtheflowers]

[Video feed turns on, and a face that has been somewhat absent from the school this past month greets the screen. He is astoundingly disheveled, covered in a mossy beard, long, wild hair the usual facial piercings. For some reason he's also got monk's robes on? You can probably imagine he smells pretty strong right now too. Because he does. He smells overwhelmingly of flowers.

Vinnie's still a little out of breath and maybe a bit red in the face for some reason, but he's home. And looking a good deal happier than he did when he left in December.]

Al'right, I'm pretty sure I was gone at least 5 months, so... [He glanced at the calender on the computer.] Is this right? It's still Feburary here? Shit, no wonder nothing's blooming yet.

Uh, I dunno if you got all my letters then. Well. [Pause.] S'that mean there's another one of me runnin' around in Johto right now...?

[Time travel, you were really weird. But he wasn't going to think too hard on that right now. Vinnie shrugged and smiled.] I guess I'm back. Did I miss anything important? Has everyone been okay? Red? Where is everyone? I really miss the shit out've you guys.

((ooc note: thanks to Celebi, Vinnie's been 'ported back to school! His solo logs will, however, continue in 'real time.' So if he mentions something that hasn't happened to him in the logs... chronologically, it hasn't yet.))

[I actually did write, they just... haven't all arrived yet. Because time travel.

Vinnie does look a bit worried though. It was kind of obvious you weren't happy.]

Thanks... that means a lot t'me.

The trip was good. Really long. I guess I should've been gone longer, but Celebi dropped me off now instead of then... [Herp he was getting confused again. Vinnie scratched his beard.]

[roaroftime]

[wow time travel that's.

rude.

but she's bitter because you sent your team a letter first because she's being dumb and bitter for no reason. :| |: :|]

I had a hunch you would enjoy seeing them as they were. But of course. You were gone for such a time with only the sun's passing to mark the days.

... Hmm, I could only begin to imagine why she would do that.

[It's not like she doesn't mind you being back, just.

Marie is to blame for everything.]

[punchbulba]

[HEY WAIT HOW IS THIS MY FAULT.]

[roaroftime]

[YOU JUST ARE.

YOU TURNED ME INTO A MEAN DRAGON YOU HORRIBLE HORRIBLE TURTLE!!111]

[punchtheflowers]

[Oh my god woman what the hell is wrong with you.]

Huh? Y'mean Celebi bringing me back?

What do you mean by that...?

[roaroftime]

[Marie.


It's all Marie.]

I am just wondering why she would bring you back early.

[Just this face forever.]

[punchtheflowers]

[Stop blaming Marie for all your messed up feelings.]

Maybe it's cuz I mentioned that I felt bad 'bout being gone such a long time?

I don't think she meant anything bad from it.

[Okay maybe he's starting to sound a little defensive for Celebi's sake.]

[temporality]

Hm, of course. Why ever would she do something bad because of it.

I ...

Excuse me for a moment.

[She is, and she's going to cool herself down before she does something really stupid.]

that would have been nice if i had marked that as 1/2. lmfao

[temporality]

[And like 10 minutes later, or something close to that.]

I... would like to apologize for that.

[punchtheflowers]

[Okay Vinnie has kind of been unimpressed by the general pissiness of your behaviour in the past 15 minutes there, Dana.]

...

Okay, so you're pissed at me. But do you have some thing 'gainst Celebi or somethin'?

[temporality]

[Wow, she understands that, and if she could suddenly come in from like 10 minutes in the future she'd slap her present self in the face.]

Thankfully I realized that as well and I ... got that under control. Again, I really do want to apologize. [Side-eye.......] That... is more of a family thing, we are both in control over the same medium, however... It is complicated, I would rather not explain.

[punchtheflowers]

[It's shit like this, man.]

Same medium... but there's at least a dozen've your family with brain powers or dragon powers, and s'not like you got anything against them... do you?
