Eleventh Transmutation | [video] Home again, home again...?

[armoredsoul]

[Hello, Johto. Here's a face that hasn't been around for a while! Al frowns and scratches his neck, looking more than a little awkward.]

Um, I know it might not be the best time with the whole 'natural disasters everywhere' thing going on, but...I just wanted to let anyone who remembers me know I'm apparently back to stay? At least for a little while.

[A long, awkward pause, before Al chuckles nervously.]

So, uh, what'd I miss?

At the very least, you've missed a visit to the moon, and also quite possibly the land going mad. Madder than usual. That would depend on when you were last in this world.

[A beat.]

...Welcome back, and may you not be trampled by an angry Donphan on your way out of town.

_{[--AND AL'S BACK TOO HOLY SHIT. Maybe, just maybe, the others'll... nah, she's not gonna get her hopes up. But she will touch base, at least.]}

Al!

Hey, where are you?

_{[She seems to be outdoors somewhere.]}

[islandshore]

Oh boy. Where do we even start?

[Folding his arms, Riku cocks his head slightly to the side, while his brow creases.]

Well, first we had a whole mess of glitches. Then people started changing ages and swapping bodies. There was that party on the moon...

Basically, it's been a wild ride.

[As much of a surprise as it had been to see Al up on the moon, it hadn't really been unexpected. People come back for those weekends all the time, then vanish again until maybe the next time one rolled around.]

[They don't usually come right back, not for real.]

[And Envy has no idea what to think about this. He's angry that Al is here, but it's not the same sort as it was the first time his half-brother had arrived. No, he's angry because he's not nearly angry enough. He's even sort of relieved to see him, which doesn't make any sense and clearly he can probably write that off as relief that Wrath and Heather will be happy about the return. But he shouldn't be relieved himself. He hadn't even wanted to miss Al being around in the first place!]

[He's so angry.]

You dumped Pokemon on me when you vanished, you know that?

[HE'LL BE...HUFFY ABOUT THAT, HE GUESSES.]

[awesmazings]

Al!!

[Sorry Al, he may have...shouted that a little, but can you blame him? First Jack shows up, and now you. This is honestly making Jimmy's week, on top of getting to go to the moon and everything.]

I can't believe you're back! I missed you, yaknow?

[Video]

[callbacks]

Dude, you're back!

[Yay!]

I dunno that you missed all that much, TBH--[Oh my god Dave don't LIE, the past month was insane]--but you know who missed you?

[And here come Clara and Huggybear, the Musharna clinging to the Pidgeot's head, staring into the screen like it's the Second Coming.]
