☇018 - Video/Action for Ecruteak City

[solidbarrels]

Hyne dammit.

[ Squall appears on the camera, his face tilted toward the sky. It's not easy to make out his expression, especially when the his pokegear is positioned low and near the ground. The angle is sharp but there's still a clear view of Squall's left hand tightening into a fist at his side. And to someone being extremely observant, they might spy a glint of silver metal on his middle finger (a ring maybe?) ]

[ His spine is taut and rigid. In the background, out of sight a murmur of "Kad... Kadabra..." can be heard. ]

...Never thought... Never even crossed my mind...

[ The SeeD scoffs sharply, shaking his head before looking down at whoever is holding his gear. Squall glares, his eyes somewhat brighter than usual but it could be a trick of the light... ]

Turn that thing off. Now.

[ Squall's expression darkens just slightly before he starts to speak ]

I remember walking toward the Sudowoodo Crossing. I was... planning on visiting Quistis.

After that... I was here.

Did you meet anyone there? Perhaps you were drugged and knocked out... But then why bring you back to Ecruteak?

No. Nothing.

...Should have been more groggy if I was drugged, Cecil...

Did your Pokémon gain any levels, or were they also affected?

Huh.

[ He didn't think to check for that... ]

I guess I can go check.

They might be able to tell you more about what happened.

It is... possible.

[ And with that said, he lets out all his pokemon and each and every single one of the look at the new addition curiously. At least until Diablos stalks over to the Kadabra and promptly attempts to glomp. ]

Well, they seem to gat along, at least. [Cecil's definition of getting along does not match the rest of the world, surprisingly.]

[ Diablos ends up flying through the air and not even that entices a reaction out of Squall. Instead, he stares at each of his pokemon evenly before addressing his 'gear ]

...They're all at the levels the last time I checked which was. New Years.

[ Squall's newborn sneaks up and scratches at the SeeD's pants with a small paw. Promptly, Squall bends over and picks it up. ]

Which means they were also affected. Could you have been teleported into the future, somehow? If you'd been frozen someone would have seen you standing there, unmoving.
