002 ☠ video / action for VIOLET CITY

_{[ We haven't really seen or heard much from Jake English since he arrived here. He found his connections, and his friends back home, and he seems to be content interacting with those that he already knows. He's pretty extroverted, really, he just gets super nervous.
Jake is nervous looking, again. It seems he's reporting from a Pokemon Center, yet again, and asking for assistance.

Are we beginning to see a pattern here?

This time, it's on video, and he sounds out of breath.
For those who haven't seen to heard him before, the teen couldn't appear over 18, and his voice carried a peculiar accent. You could say it was not-so-quite-Australian. ]}

Um! Ah—
Does anybody know anything about ghost Pokemon?
Oh, drat. Where are my manners? Ummm. Good evening! How are you all? Do you have any information about ghost Pokemon? What does it like? What does it eat? How to control it? Ummm,

I think I accidentally caught one!

_{[ Yeah, he sounds pretty desperate. There isn't much else for him to go on about. ]}

_{[ Jake jumps, a bit startled at Dirk's presence.
The boy stares up at him blankly, blinking a few times. ]}

Ummmm.

_{[ Really, he had no answer, so: ]}

What're you doing here, Dirk?

[This face.]

Dude, why wouldn't I be here. We're traveling together. I'm making sure you're not getting lost.

Well, of course! But I didn't expect you all up and here in this quaint little Pokemon Center.

_{[ A bright smile. ]}

I'm not lost one bit, fella!
I recognize the illuminating, red lights that indicate a Pokemon Center nearby, and I find this is my favorite place to refuge, granted because it's chilly-willy out.

_{[ . . . . ]}

Are you lost?

Chilly-wi-- [Chuffs, a bit.]

Nah. Checkin' on you, carin' for the Pokémon. You adjusting all right?

It definitely isn't home.

_{[ He sounds a bit crestfallen at that statement, and shifts his feet a little. ]}

Though, I suppose the future a-new is something to look forward to.

_{[ Jake lifts his hand to his brow and scratches with the back of his thumb nail. ]}

I just am hoping we do get to go home at some point.

_{[ he's really hopeful for that ok. ]}

[He affords Jake a rueful smile for that, shifting his weight and shoving his hands in his pockets.]

Between you and me, bro, the game wasn't really home, either. [Felt more like it than a watery grave of an apartment, at least.]

[He reaches out, awkwardly, and claps him on the shoulder.]

Well, you're the Hope guy. I'm sure it'll happen.

_{[ Jake tenses when he feels Dirk put his hand on his shoulder. He puts on an uneasy smile and nods. ]}

Ah, well. As oddball as it may sound, I dare say I miss my island actually.

_{[ Oh, yep. His head bows a bit. ]}

[His hand is gone as soon as he feels Jake tense under him-- shouldn't have done that. He recoils, hands splayed in the air to show they're away from Jake's person, and then they go back in his pockets. Jesus, he's treating him like a wild frightened animal.]

...ah. [Frown.] Well, there's islands around here-- I mean, it won't be yours, but I'm sure we could find you something to take the edge off a little, at least.

_{[ At this notion, Jake cracks a toothy smile, then brings his attention back to his device. ]}

Capital!
I have been told about that, along with some ... ruins? I believe?
I'm certainly hoping they're more exciting than the ones on my planet.

We should see if the rest of our traveling group wants to investigate there!

[Shrugging his shoulders slightly, he brings one hand up to scratch at the back of his neck.]

Worth asking, sure.

_{[ Oh, this conversation seems to brighten his mood a little, and he enthusiastically waves his hands about. ]}

Just think!
I bet there are heaps of critters inside those ruins.
Maybe.. possibly.. their remains!
Oh, all sorts of artifacts I've never seen before. That is something to look forward to, I reckon.

[He's pleased by this development. A grin crosses his face.]

Good. I'm sure we'll find something-- and if the others don't want to go, I'll escort you to an island for maximum shenanigans.

I wonder what an island here would be like?
I'm accustomed to there being a variety of all sorts of dangers and what not.

I hope I'm not disappointed!
