003 | Too much of a good thing
[ Today, you are greeted with a whump and a crash... and the sound of a panicked Duskull as it floats over to check on its trainer who had apparently fallen out of bed along with his Gear. ]
...Bimey... what time is it...?
[ There's a pause though as Ronald reaches for his glasses and goes to check the time, his grogginess suddenly disappearing the minute he realizes what time -- and day -- it is. ]
Hang on... I've been asleep for HOW LONG?! That's... not right. At least I'm awake in time for Christmas...
[ And have a small grin before he ends. ]
Bit of advice for you lot: Killua's made some fantastic absinthe lollies for this month's menu... but don't have ten in one go or you might end up like me.

Honestly, I shouldn't be surprised. Either by the fact that you're here as well, or that you've managed to fall into a drunken stupor.
Video
M... Mister Spears?!
[ He's just gonna stare at the Gear for a bit there in stunned silence because wtf where did you come from... and there's a moment again before he looks over his shoulder at the duskull that's come in to check on the chaos. ]
Grim, better rustle me a pot. Wager m'still seeing things.
Video
I am here, Knox. You can stop your gawking.
Now, where are you? There are somethings I wish you to explain to me.
Video
Ron meanwhile has pulled himself up off the floor and is leaning against the bed. ]
You just prolly came in then if this isn't some sort of dream.
[ Give him a second to ruffle his own hair. ]
I'm in a city called Goldenrod. Joined up with the lot you were working with in the circus for convenience's sake. Joker'll be interested in seeing you around, I wager!
Video
It seems it will take me some time to get to you.
[ His aggravation at not being able to quickly move from place to place while here is overly apparent. ]
How many others that we know are here, as well.
[ You know what he's hoping NOT to hear. ]
Video
[ And a pause to think about the second question. ]
S'just Joker'n Beast. No one else. Haven't seen hide nor hair of Mister Sutcliffe though someone said he'd been 'round ages back. Haven't had word of the Phantomhive lad or Bassy either.
Video
[ He's about to comment on Grell when it suddenly occurs to him... ]
Wait. The ones from the Noah's Ark Circus? We reaped their souls, their files are closed. How are they here?
[ This does not please him. nonono Luckily, this news is keeping him from focusing on the fact that Ron called the demon 'Bassy.' ugh... ]
Video
[ And have an almost apologetic look as he rubs the back of his neck. ]
Yeeeeeah, about that... there's just two of them here. That Snake bloke's around but I hardly see him. Beast... she doesn't seem to know what happened but Joker... and this is the odd bit: he knows he died. M'sure we reaped them though.
Video
I don't remember informing him of his fate before reaping him.
[ He huffs loudly, wishing he could whip his binder out and check some things. ]
This is going to cause more than a small headache for me, should we make it back to London. I can't even begin to imagine how the department is fairing with both of us gone.
Video
[ He'll just... let that sink in a bit. ]
Anyroad! M'sure if and when they send us home, chances are they could take us back the minute they took us maybe?
Video 1/2
Video 2/2
Honestly. That better be the case.
And Sutcliffe better stay out of my office while we are here.
video;
[ Have a sheepish little grin for that. ]
Anyroad... you prolly should get your arse here before Christmas comes round. It's just around the corner and the last thing I'd want is for you to spend it on the road.

You're lucky you didn't get alcohol poisoning.
[Video]
[ Have a small grin though ]
I've normally got a better constitution'n that though. Takes more'n a few bottles to leave me bladdered as all hell.
[Video]
[Of course, that's a tolerance she calculated when she was quite a bit smaller than she is now... she still hasn't gotten a good chance to see how much that's changed.]
[Video]
[ He still seems pleasant enough, despite the evident hangover. ]
By the way... we've never met, have we?
[Video]
[You know, completely ignoring the "my teacher was the ruler of our whole country and I was being groomed to take on some of that responsibility" thing.]
You said you're a reaper? As in a psychopomp?
[Video]
[ He can't be stopped, sadly. But there's a pause at that question. ]
That's right. Prolly not as fancy as you suppose but yeah. M'sure you've heard the tales: death and all that?
no subject
Ah... Yes, well, of course I have. I mean, death being such an important part of life it's not surprising to have those sort of stories in any culture... but I've never actually met one of you before. Which I guess makes sense.
no subject
Best to call yourself lucky if you haven't met any of us yet. Either that or whoever it was wasn't be careful, eh?
How's the training coming 'round?
no subject
Yeah, I'm perfectly fine not meeting any of you until it's actually my time, thank you. Er, current circumstances aside.
Training? Ah, well I'm actually at a point where I'm not quite sure what else to do. I've got one of just about every type of Pokemon at maximum level. You'll find that's actually sort of a problem, if you can call it that, with just about anyone who's been here long enough.
no subject
No worries, love! I'm off the clock, so to speak. Brought here as willingly as any of you so... s'not exactly somewhere I'm licensed to reap. Or summat like that.
[ There's a blink there, almost in disbelief. ]
S'that right? How long've you been here anyroad?
no subject
[She pauses a moment as she considers that. She hadn't even thought about how long she's been here for some time.]
Wow, it really has been that long, hasn't it...
no subject
Blimey, that is a buggering long time, innit...? No wonder you've run out of things to do.
[ There's a frown though as he gives it a pause to think. ]
Mm... ever consider travelling as a tourist instead of taking on the gyms or have you had your fill of that too?
