[Jimmy has obviously been crying. His eyes are puffy and red, and he's sporting an overly-blown nose.]

Uh...shit, I hate doing these.

You know how I live with my best bud, Tobias? Well...

Let's put it this way, I got a opening for a roommate.

[He really can't bring himself to say anything else, not without coming apart into an emotional mess all over again. He's never been good with losing people.]

--shit. Tobias is gone?

_{[This is the first she's heard of it... it's never been uncommon for him to go off the radar for some time alone in the woods or whatever. She hadn't thought anything of the fact that they hadn't talked for awhile...]}

[Video]

[anexcitableboy]

Yeah.

I thought maybe he was just doing his bird thing, ya know? But he ain't in the 'dex listing anymore, and there's Pokemon at home that shouldn't be....

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Yeah, I... me too.

<sub>[She lets out a heavy sigh.]

[If his number's unlisted and his Pokemon aren't where they should be, that doesn't really leave room for speculation.]</sub>

Shit.

I wish I'd gotten to say goodbye.

_{[And good luck. Because he's told her about the sorts of things that waited for him back home.]}

[Video]

[anexcitableboy]

Yeah. Me too. He deserved to stay here.

Uh....all his stuff is here, if you wanted to go through it. I dunno if that's something normal people do, but back home...anybody in the family was lost, we'd all take something to remember'em by.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

I... might.

_{[Generally, she only takes the Pokemon of people who leave if they specifically left one to her. But she wouldn't mind having SOMETHING to remember Tobias by.]}

What's the address?

[Video]

[anexcitableboy]

Come by whenever, I'm not getting rid of anything. Don't seem right.

[Jimmy shares the address - he doesn't think he's going anywhere anytime soon.]

[Video] --> Action?

[foolishwren]

I'll be over in a couple hours, if that's okay.

_{[AND THEN SHE WILL BE.]}

Action!

[anexcitableboy]

Yeah, that's cool. I'll see you then, just come in, the door's unlocked.

[Jimmy's just been sitting on the couch with Omi, not really sure what to do. Tobias has been living with him for...he can't even remember, it's been so long. Jimmy has ended up kind of thinking of him as a permanent fixture of life here.]

[He hasn't touched any of the other guy's stuff. It feels weird to. He'd been the same after losing his mother, unable to put away any of her things or anything like that. Maybe Heather can help. He isn't sure who else was close enough with Tobias to help with his things...]

Action!

[foolishwren]

<sub>[Heather's been here too long to think of anything but the Pokemon themselves as permanent anymore.]

[When she arrives, she gives the door a knock just out of courtesy, then slips inside.]</sub>

Hello?

_{[A Manectric clicks in beside her, sniffing at the floor.]}
