[Hank is looking frazzled as he turns on the camera, pokegear positioned in front of him on his desk. He has no idea how to approach a plan, honestly? Connor's birthday is this month, he never talks about his friends so he's not sure who they are, he doesn't know who to invite. Maybe he'll just tell Connor to tell them to come over?]

[Fuck he doesn't know. But here it goes. He's scratching his head and messing his hair up in the process.]

Okay, I have no fuckin' idea how to cook. I'm shit at it. I need someone to show me how to at least bake something in the next couple of weeks, alright? I'll pay.

[A cake made by him would be optimal. It won't be pretty, but it'd be the effort that counts. He supposes if he wrecks the thing he could go get a nice one from a store at the last moment.]

Also uh... last month while I was with Shadowmaru we ran into some Rockets. [Honestly it ended up being the highlight of his week. He's pretty sure that people aren't supposed to fight Rockets the way they did but it felt fucking great. Plus, you know, skinny funky-haired ninja being fucking impressive. That's a good show.] And the Jennies took 'em into custody. They got back to me and they think one of the pokemon they had was from that Prom that was attacked. Ambrose.

So Armin you can probably give 'em a ring and claim him.

[He hasn't even heard about the awesome dog he missed yet. Though his awesome dog leans in with its giant muzzle and snuffles his messed up hair.]

I got a Porygon. Next time you come down? We'll give it a try.

[He might have named his Porygon RK420 for lack of a better name, though.]

[sassymaru]

Why not? It shall be an adventure.

[sociallychallenged]

You pull off anything like you did last time? I'll look forward to any adventures with you.

Can't wait to see what paint job you've done with your hair next, too.

[Hey, he noticed!]

[sassymaru]

I can assure you, that was not a one-time only performance. I will be happy to demonstrate my skills, any time.

... ah? You noticed?

[He's touched.]

[sociallychallenged]

Well, it's kind of hard not to notice. But it was noticeable in a good way.

[There's definitely different levels to 'noticing'.]

[sassymaru]

Ahh... so it's striking, you think?

[sociallychallenged]

My sense of self-preservation says that I should probably agree with a ninja that 'striking' is the right word.

But yeah. You're good at the thing you're doin', too.

[sassymaru]

Your sense of preservation does you well.

Though I would be a poor example of the Brave Police if I allowed an innocent human to come to harm.

[sociallychallenged]

Innocent is a strong word, but as a cop I appreciate the vote of confidence.

[Technically here he's a pokemon trainer, but fuck it. They're cops.]

[sassymaru]

Ah, well, you know what I mean.

Not a criminal, in other words.
