trusthell | we'll make it happen, we'll turn it around

[ Well, that... certainly was a thing that happened. Viktor wishes he could unsee what he witnessed in the library, but it seems like it has etched into his memory forever. Thinking about it makes him sick to his stomach, and eventually he decides that he needs something to keep his mind off it, at least for a little while.

So around noon, a note goes up on the fridge: ]

If you need a distraction after what happened today, come to the dining room at 6 pm.
There will be food and we'll be playing truth or dare!
♥ Viktor Nikiforov ♥

[ There's also a cute doodle of himself underneath his signature. Later in the day, he writes copies of said note and slides them under everyone's doors. ]

[ Those who come to the dining room at will find that Viktor has made plenty of borscht, pancakes and open-faced sandwiches for them. He isn't the best chef ever, but it tastes pretty good and will fill you up! There's also juice, water, and a few bottles of alcohol for those who are old enough to drink; try to be responsible, okay.

And for the truth and dare, he's prepared shots of hot sauce as punishment for those who refuse a dare. ]

Come on, Gold, he makes food from home.

I'm not bein' swayed by food! I ain't you!

[gosh!!!!!!!!!!!!]

He's gotta pass the test, dude! Polibo's gotta like him before anything!

...Well, that's easy. Polibo likes everyone.

Polibo does not like everyone.

[he so does.]

[Could you make that sound less dirty?

Oh but hey, what Silver says piques his interest!]

Wait, you guys come from somewhere that has stuff like miso and katsudon and takoyaki?

Yup! Johto's full of that kinda stuff! We've got Kanto beside us too, and they've got their own spin on stuff there, but you can't beat Violet City's Bellsprout Stir-fry.

[... which isn't actually made of Bellsprout, probably, but. yes.]

Elda recognized Kanto more than she did Johto though, so. Same for you?

...actually, 'Kanto' is the name of a region of the country I live in. I've never heard of 'Johto' before, though. So yeah, it's the same for me as it is for her.

[WHY DOES HIS REGION NOT EXIST ANYWHERE BUT HIS WORLD THIS IS BULLSHIT]

Figures. Johto's one of a kind, I guess.

...Is there a region to the west of Kanto where you're from?

[Maybe it's Kanto, but under some other name?]

There's Hoenn and Sinnoh, too. Sinnoh's to the north, and Hoenn's to the south.

Yeah, the Kanto region is the eastmost part of the island it's on. There's an area to the west, but it's called Kansai. To the north is Hokkaido, and the south is Kyushu.

...What about a big mountain right in the middle of Kanto and Kansai?

[It wouldn't make it Johto, but he's curious about the similarities here.]

You mean Mt. Fuji?

...Hey Gold, get this. He even has Mt. Silver.

[Holy shit.]

Your world's like ours, but it sucks 'cause there's no Pokémon.

The spirits in my world are probably my world's version of pokemon. Except they can talk and can only be seen by some people.

...actually, Silver, remember that picture you showed me of that brown thing? ...Eevee, I think? It's face looks kinda like Kudakitsune's, except Kudakitsune has a snake body instead of limbs.

[...]

Like some kind of freaky cross between an Eevee and an Arbok?

[what the fuck

that's terrifying]

I...guess so? If an Arbok is this long.

[He holds his two index fingers about 2 and a half feet apart.]

Oh, no, they're way bigger. Like, eleven feet.

[Way, way bigger.]

Okay yeah, Kudakitsune is not eleven feet long. He's actually small enough to hide in my coat, when he wants to.

It's just the Eevee face, right? Not all the fur that comes with it?

[just. clarifying.]

No, it has fur all over too.

[WHY IS THIS THING SO TERRIFYING SOUNDING A SNAKE-EEVEE DOES NOT SOUND CUTE]

I... see. That's, uh. Something special. I guess.

[Just wait until he shows up, he's in the vending machine somewhere.]

Well if your pokemon can show up here, maybe he will too. He's small enough.

[oh my god]

Can't wait to see him. [he guesses.] Is he your best friend?
