[keith prodded the ground with a stick as he looked up at shiro, who had been pacing around their makeshift campsite. it had been a while since he, or shiro, had heard from the two; and it was starting to get a little worrisome??]

Do you think we should go in after them?

[Hunk is willing to fight to take sole responsiblity for his actions--when Shiro makes that godawful

joke. He just stares, completely flabbergasted, but then gasps.]

Was that a... Shiro, you didn't!

[What is he, (sp)a(ce) dad?!]

[shiro2hero]

[Oh god he can't help it. He's going to actually start laughing.]

[It's like a miracle.]

I'm -- I'm sorry. I had to.

[yellowbellied]

[Shiro laughing too? Did this place just give him a treasure trove of amazing miracles? It has Hunk grinning. Shiro, you're a dork.]

I guess I set myself up for it. Got any more terrible puns you want to share?

[shiro2hero]

Not really. I just want you to know, even if things get tough around here, we're going to do our best not to break our leg.

[SHIRO WHY. STOP. YOU'RE NOT FUNNY AT ALL.]

[yellowbellied]

[That one was painful, but it was stupid enough that Hunk bursts out laughing.]

S-Shiro, stop, they're awful!

[shiro2hero]

You're laughing! They can't be that bad!

[As he's laughing too, because, let's face it. Some laughter is just contagious.]

[yellowbellied]

They're actually kind of great. Got any more?

[Wiping tears from his eyes, Shiro you are such a great person]

[shiro2hero]

I don't know. Sort of had to go out on a limb for those.

[SHIRO FOR GOD'S SAKE... HOW LONG WERE YOU THINKING OF THESE.]

[yellowbellied]

[He chokes and laughs harder. Shiro for best dad jokes 2k16.]

T-that one was so bad!

[shiro2hero]

Yeah, I know. I've been saving them up for months.

[yellowbellied]

So you're telling me you just sat on jokes for months until we showed up? [He can't stop another chuckle from escaping.] Shiro, that's the most dad-like thing you've said.

[shiro2hero]

More like a month, here. I wasn't on my own here all that long.

[He's going to grin anyway, though.]

Yeah, I know. I'm not even a little sorry.

[yellowbellied]

Just one month? Well, good thing we didn't leave you alone too long. They'd probably be worse.

[Shiro for best dad 2k16.]

If one of us calls you dad, you jokes earned you that.

[shiro2hero]

Worse, and I probably wouldn't have been able to come back for you guys so quick.

[That last bit earns a grimace -- the kind that says "please don't".]

... But in all seriousness, we should probably head toward Goldenrod. That's where most people seem to be going.

[yellowbellied]

From just walking too far? Makes sense.

I'm not saying it's me, I'm just saying... [It'll probably be Lance, if Hunk had to put any money on it.]

Well, since we're together, might as well keep going. I... think I'm good now.

[shiro2hero]

Yeah, it's too far on foot. And there's no vehicles around.

[It's probably going to be Lance. He agrees.]

Okay. Whenever you're ready.

[yellowbellied]

[Hunk nods, finally dragging himself to his feet.]

I'm ready, I think. Let's go before my stomach changes its mind or something.

[shiro2hero]

[He reaches a hand down as Hunk stands, to help him up.]

Sounds like a plan. Let's get moving.

[yellowbellied]

Thanks, Shiro.

[He stumbles for a second, but catches his footing.] Yeah. We're almost close to real food, and proper beds. I hope.

[shiro2hero]

That's the spirit.

[He automatically shifts his weight to block the inevitable, sudden appearance of his Gastly -- who decides to show up whenever someone mentions "spirit" or "ghost" or anything related to those words.]

[yellowbellied]

[Hunk smiles up at Shiro, but he notices the little critter appear behind him and raises an eyebrow.]

Shiro... this is probably gonna sound as weird as everything else I've been saying, but... I think there's something behind you.

[shiro2hero]

[Just... this face.]

If it's purple and smiling, it's Gastly. Don't worry about it. I can't make it stop doing that.

[Said ghost just grins. Bobbing up and down cheerfully.]

Believe me. I've tried.

[yellowbellied]

[Well... It looks happy enough. Hunk just nods, giving the pokemon a smile.]

Hey, if it's not going to eat me, I'm good. Where'd you get it?

[shiro2hero]

[And Gastly bobs happily, twirling around.]

Nah, it won't. Maybe lick, but not eat. [A little shrug.] There was a festival when I first got here -- Ecruteak City? He showed up there.

[yellowbellied]

Lick?

[Like a puppy? Can't be that bad.] Oh... Wait, they have festivals and stuff here?
