Ahem.

[Oh hi Shiro. It's almost prom season, right? That means you're here to deliver some kind of warning about Prom, right? That's what you do.]

[He clears his throat.]

[Looks directly into the camera.]



Fuck!


[Somewhere off screen, a Gallade is howling in squeaky laughter. Looks like someone let one of the Zorua into the house.]

[Radley jumps. Yeah, that doesn't sound like the nice guy he saw at the contest last month. Despite knowing the Zorua are at work, somehow he's still startled seeing people act out. But it doesn't help that in this case, he has been trying to peacefully make dinner when the earth-shattering communication comes through!

Since the Zorua seems to still be there, he decides to try addressing it.]

Oh really?

[shiro2hero]

[Yeah, it's definitely not Shiro. And... it's laughing. Snort-laughing, even.]

Yes!

[More Gallade laughter off-screen.]

[crystalmaster]

Aren't we feeling mature today?

[Radley's voice drips with sarcasm.]

[shiro2hero]

Damn mature!

[crystalmaster]

So where's your twin?

[Was the real Shiro even home?]

[shiro2hero]

...



Huh?

[crystalmaster]

[Radley would be more amused if he wasn't getting a bit concerned about Shiro by now. But hopefully everything is fine, especially in light of the non-Zorua laughing. If that is Shiro's Pokemon, they wouldn't be laughing if he's hurt, right?]

Oh, you know, the guy who looks just like you?

[He speaks easily. Ordinarily he wouldn't stick around to feed an obvious troll for so long, but he's hoping if he stalls long enough, Shiro might come in.]

[shiro2hero]

The guy?

[Sounds fake. What do you mean there's an actual guy? It's just doing what Blue told it to do.]

[crystalmaster]

Yeah. The one you're impersonating, little Zorua?

[shiro2hero]

[Uh oh.]

[It should go. Should it go? How does it turn off the thing?]

[crystalmaster]

[Evie pops up and warbles. Radley chuckles, petting her. He's not sure what to do with this situation or how to find the real Shiro. Maybe Evie can keep the Zorua on the line or maybe not....]
