garbagechild: They 'asked me not to come back', and i have been gracious enough to indulge them. They still know who calls the shots here (I'm not 'BANNED' from Olive Garden)

005. [Video]

[For what is possibly the FIRST TIME since this kid figured out how to hit the 'post' button, the video is actually STILL.]

[That's because he's set it down on a fence post. The pale, mystical feathers that have been coating every surface like magical dandelion fluff are drifting past on the breeze, but they're not the focus of the video. Instead, the 'Gear's camera seems to be pointed directly into someone's yard, although it's from a little bit of a distance.]

[The place is kind of a dump, with junk littering the corners and lots of weeds. A ramshackle doghouse is erected in the middle, with an upturned waterbowl that doesn't appear to have been filled in some time.]

[A coil of old, frayed rope is tied around one of the boards of the 'house' and at the end of it is a snoozing blue Vaporeon, ear-fins twitching lightly.]

[The view isn't especially zoomed in, but it's still obvious what the Pokemon is.]

[For a time, that's all the video shows.]

[But then Wrath speaks, his voice hushed.]



... I saw the man in that house come home and he didn't even PET her.

Or give her any food.

She looks sad.



[Half an hour later...]




[Now the feed shows HIM, and there's part of a rotten board stuck in his hair. And rope twines in his teeth. And he is cradling something blue that kind of overflows out of his arms in a pile of contented paws and fins.]

This is Sleepy.

She's blue and I love her.

[... Oh. Well. What does he say to that, aside from 'how is it done' and 'did you want to come back'?]

... I think you still count as a person. I mean... you have feelings and needs and things like that like anyone does.

[He'll just... put the Inves issue aside for right now.]

[But it's his fault they died.]

But you can express them with words and pictures and body language to other people and be understood.

[He'd say something about forming bonds, but he's not exactly the person to talk to about that.]

[But!]

True, but not to the same way that humans can.

[He'd say something about minds or souls but minds are easily tricked and souls are... probably not real.]

[But.]

I've seen non-humans who I guess count as 'people'.

You don't have the same powers you did back home though, right? So maybe you count as a person now.

[Maybe? Look if he can get Kid Reasoning to work here it'll be for the best.]

Maybe this place turned you into a person.

But this place is different, isn't it?
