pictures/audio/action for Route 35

[blacklynx]

[Today the network is greeted with a series of pictures.

One has a kid crying over a lost Pokémon.
One has an old lady telling the Jennies about a recent burglary she suffered.
One has a mildly injured young man who's cursing everything.
One has a pile of Pokéballs with a red R and a cat mask next to them.

The pictures come with a simple audio post. While Ikuto doesn't want to get caught by anyone, he wants to deliver a message to people that do know. Message being "You shouldn't get too close to me or else" - especially to one Amu Hinamori, but everyone else too.]

I'm getting hang of this game I've been assigned to.

Idiot.

[Audio]

[blacklynx]

Did you find a mirror?

[Audio]

[guardianjoker4]

Will you stop! This isn't going to work on me, you know.

[Audio]

[blacklynx]

[... right she's from the "future" or something. He almost forgot that.]

Who said it should work on you? It's a general warning.

[Audio]

[guardianjoker4]

Because you always do this! Stop pushing people away. You're not bad and you're not evil so stop pretending to be!

[Don't make her get the spray bottle >:|]

[Audio]

[blacklynx]

You can say that even if you see what I'm doing here out of my free will?

[His voice is stern and really serious.]

Things change.

[Audio]

[guardianjoker4]

Liar. [She saw your memories, dammit.]

Why can't you just stop? What's so bad about having friends here and having a chance to be away from Easter? [What's so bad about me?]

[Audio]

[blacklynx]

It's not as easy as you make it sound like. [And there's nothing wrong with you, but... it's for your own good.]

You can't get involved, so don't.

[Audio]

[guardianjoker4]

But why?

[Audio]

[blacklynx]

Because you're just a little kid.

[Audio]

[guardianjoker4]

Yeah, well I'm a "little kid" who's been living with two other little kids and I'm the oldest! I'm a little kid who's been working and I'm a little kid who's already involved here!

[Audio]

[blacklynx]

Yeah, you're involved with this world. With the normal things.

[Audio]

[guardianjoker4]

I've been involved for more than a year, Ikuto.

[Audio]

[blacklynx]

It doesn't matter.

[Audio]

[guardianjoker4]

Why not?

[Audio]

[blacklynx]

Because you're too important to get mixed up in this!

[Did he just say that? Yes he did.]

[Audio]

[guardianjoker4]

[Shocked, Amu stops at that. She doesn't say anything....]

What?

[Audio]

[blacklynx]

I think you heard me well enough. I'm not repeating myself.

[Audio]

[guardianjoker4]

[A few moments pass and then...]

And you're my friend! [Yes, she's finally admitting it.]

[Audio]

[blacklynx]

[A... friend.

Of course. Amu's just a little kid so she wouldn't understand.]

I'm glad.

[Audio] ---> [Private]

[guardianjoker4]

[!!]

Well, don't expect me to just sit by...well...

[Woops, privates this]

Why don't you just get out of it? Isn't there a way?

[Private]

[blacklynx]

[Ikuto lets out a sigh.]

There might be, but it's probably not easy. Besides, I can't leave Utau behind, can I?

[Private]

[guardianjoker4]

You don't have to! I want her out of that too, you know. I remember someone mentioning getting out of it before...I know it won't be easy but...but I can help!

[Private]

[blacklynx]

No. We'll handle this by ourselves. If you help us, you'll be a target for them.

[Private]

[guardianjoker4]

But...I-I don't mean going to the base or anything! I can...I don't know! But I can't sit by!
