Ah, I know, I know! But indulge me, won't ya?
[He gives one of his smiles, hoping to put her at ease. To be honest, it's an act he never is sure will work or not- not with Beast.]

[No, not with Beast.
It didn't put her at ease, but really- what could after what she'd learned. But she let him get her up without complaint, and, well. For Beast, that was something.]

Joker? It's Jimmy!
[There's the sound of gentle rain in the background, but not loud enough to be outside. Wherever Jimmy is, it sounds like somewhere indoors.]
I think I'm back in Goldenrod now. Kinda been all over the place this weekend, yaknow. I just wanted to call and make sure you're okay, since I haven't been able to since the beginning of the weekend. Lemme know where you are, I'm...prolly gonna stay put for a while.
[There's a bit of an odd tilt in his voice there which he quickly corrects in his next sentence.]
So yeah, call me back when you can!

...Alright there, Jims?
[Yeah he caught that weird tilt.]
[Yeah he caught that weird tilt.]
Yeah, I'm okay!
I uh...I do gotta question, though. How normal is it for somebody to show up here in Johto, and then...sorta leave a couple days later? That...only happens every once in a while...right?

Ah... Yeah, that it does. They're strange ties with all sortsa queer happenins, and my memory's always been a bit off everytime they happen.
...See someone from yer home then?
...See someone from yer home then?
Yeah, it...feels kinda like a dream, but I guess it really did happen, then?
You know my friends I talk about, Beezy and Heloise? They were here.

[Oh. Well then. Joker keeps his voice gentle.]
Glad y'got a chance ta see 'em again.
Glad y'got a chance ta see 'em again.
Y...yeah, me too. Though it was weird...when I asked, they said they'd just talked to me a minute ago. But....I can't believe it's almost been a year here...
Yeah... Heard that time works like that here.
Doin' alright?
Doin' alright?
[There's a short pause before he answers.]
Mhm. Yeah. Kinda...kinda wish they'd stayed longer, though.
I miss them.
Mhm. Yeah. Kinda...kinda wish they'd stayed longer, though.
I miss them.
I wish that myself. Would've liked that meet these friends of yers.
But... thinka it this way. You'll see him again, at some point. It'll just be a surprise each time, like when folks do surprise parties for their friends and family.

That's true. It's not a matter of...if they'll come back...but when. Right?
There ya go. People come an' go all the time here! You'll definitely see 'em again, someday.
When they do, I'll be sure to introduce you to them! I'm sure they'd like you a whole lot, Joker.
I know I'd like 'em too! Any friend of yours is a friend a mine, after all!
[Jimmy seems glad to hear that, and it shows in his voice.]
Oh! By the way, I should prolly ask...did you see anybody this weekend too? Or was it just a lot of strangers?

'fraid not! It's a shame... Although I suppose I should be grateful I didn't run inta anyone I didn't like back home.
Mhm, that's true! Well, if this happens pretty regularly, maybe you will next time!
[He sure knows he'll be looking out for Beezy and Heloise again, himself.]
[He sure knows he'll be looking out for Beezy and Heloise again, himself.]
Yeah! Though I hope that doesn't happen again for a little while...I think even I've had enough excitement for a while.
I think we'll be fine. In my experience, it only happens every few months... Guess it's just one a those weird things a this world.
[The background of this video is definitely inside a house, but Envy's red cheeks and the fact that he still has his coat on are definitely clues to the fact that he just came in from outside.]
[He's also looking a lot more frazzled than usual, and there's a small frown on his face.]
Hey, Joker, are you there?
[He's also looking a lot more frazzled than usual, and there's a small frown on his face.]
Hey, Joker, are you there?
'Lo, didn't expect a call from you all of the sudden. What's wrong?
Hey, you're...[he gestures vaguely with one hand] in charge of Jimmy, aren't you?
[Or something like that. Close enough. Envy's not sure who else to call about this.]
And you know those comas people fall into sometimes? I found him in one of them.
