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.))

[You and your tsundere ways.]

I just figured seein' you guys again was a bit more important than gettin' a haircut.

[pikabitch]

Oh gee, you think? Guess that much is still in your head despite running off to find your inner monk-punk-hippie or something.

[punchtheflowers]

Well, livin' with some monks did help put some things into perspective...

[He paused.] But basically you were right. I can't do this alone.

[pikabitch]

So what, it took you running off and getting drilled by bald, robe-wearing peacemakers to get it in your head? Tch, Figures.

[punchtheflowers]

That's not quite it, but I guess it all really sounds like hippie nonsense anyway...

[pikabitch]

Well what the hell do you expect!? We tried to tell you, but all you keep telling us as that stupid 'being a man' crap then ran off to fucking Johto. Heck, even my old man isn't that big of a dumbass.

While I... tch, it doesn't even matter anyways

[Vinnie scratched his beard sheepishly and sighed.]

Yeah. You've basically got a giant dumbass for a brother who can't see the most obvious things...

Sorry 'bout that.

[pikabitch]

Whatever, you stupid dick-faced, hippie-loving, dumbass. [She furiously rubbed her eyes, stupid dust won't go away, damnat.]

[punchtheflowers]

[Maybe it was all the pollen in the air. You know, because he smelled super sweet right now. Super calming sweetness.]

I love you too, Chi.

[pikabitch]

Whatever, don't forget to get yourself hit by the door on the way out.
