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.))

[What a sweet. Smelling. Plant. Creature. That Celebi seemed to be awful fond of. And oh... wait. Was this the man that Dialga herself is pining over so strongly? Well. Like any good distant cousin, he should probably introduce himself to the little sap sucker, right?]

Well. Guys and dolls alike are falling all over themselves just to welcome you home.

[Hahaaa oh Shamu we might as well call you impish, you little devil.]

[oceanshaper]

[Just too old to care about social modesty anymore, dear.]

[punchtheflowers]

I dunno 'bout fallin' over themselves... [Especially considering two of his closest people were totally mad at him and Dana was acting totally weird.] But I guess it's been a while, and I managed t'not die.

You're a new face though.

[oceanshaper]

Yeah, I guess I showed up after you left, or maybe just never introduced myself. Either way, the name's Kyogre. I teach Ancient Literature. I think you know a couple members of my extended family.

[Kyogre wasn't a Pokemon that Vinnie was familiar with - hey, he'd never paid much attention to the oceans - but extended family...?]

Oh! You're one've Dan and Celebi's relatives, then.
