[The journal clicks on. There's the sound of someone chewing on the other end, and a bit of sauce drips on the page. Seems he found a plate of burgers on the table. They're a bit cold, but nothing a little heating up in the microwave can't handle. Good thing he comes from a modern world that knows how to use them, huh?

Finally, he has to pause in between burgers, in order to stifle a yawn. Looks like he woke up not too long ago. Soon after, he takes a bite of a burger, and begins to speak.]

You know... [A swallow, and there's another drip.] I feel like I just woke up from a really bad dream. But since I'm still here, it feels like one of those cases where you just woke up from a dream you were having in a dream. You know, like you see in cartoons sometimes!

[Nom again, then swallow.] But this place is real, isn't it? Luceti's no dream, as much as I'd love to just wake up in my own bed, surrounded by my partners, as my mom makes breakfast. Ah well...

...

...These burgers need more kick to them.

We thought if we left those burgers out for you, you'd come back.

[...wat]

[mischiefbreeder]

[He just laughs.]

Hahaha! You should know that regular ol' burgers won't cut it for me, Red!

[burningfighter.livejournal.com]

Really? Looks like they worked to me.

[mischiefbreeder]

Might've worked a lot better if you made Cinnabar Volcano Burgers!

[burningfighter.livejournal.com]

You've never told us how to make those...

[mischiefbreeder]

Hell if I know. It's a recipe my mom picked up somewhere. She didn't teach me it yet.

I guess she picked it up back when she did her own adventuring.

Your mom was a trainer, too?

*was a trainer + makes delicious pokeburgers = ... ... ... I am so, so glad I am a dumb hero.*

[mischiefbreeder]

Yep. Made a lot of money doing it too, so she must have been pretty accomplished in her own right.

I showed you my place, right? Most of the pokemon we keep in the house are ones she caught.

[burningfighter.livejournal.com]

Woah, really? That's amazing!

[mischiefbreeder]

Isn't it? Definitely helped provide me with my own motivation for starting my journey!

[burningfighter.livejournal.com]

It wasn't just to catch Silver?

[mischiefbreeder]

...Well, there was that too, but I was dying to start my own journey for a long time.

[burningfighter.livejournal.com]

Ehhh, I see.

*One or two of the burgers, by the way, may have... problems (http://burningfighter.livejournal.com/1172.html?thread=132500#t132500).*

[mischiefbreeder]

[Well then, Red, you better hope that you don't end up eating one of those burgers, because...]

...Hey Red, since you're up, how about getting in the kitchen and helping me eat these burgers. I'm hungry, but I'm not this hungry!

[burningfighter.livejournal.com]

Are they really still good?

[mischiefbreeder]

Taste fine to me!

[burningfighter.livejournal.com]

I'll be there in a minute, then!

[mischiefbreeder]

I'll be waiting!

[burningfighter.livejournal.com]

*There!*

Gold, your face...

[mischiefbreeder]

Yeah, I'm a handsome devil, I know. You don't have to tell me twice.

[burningfighter.livejournal.com]

... You're bleeding on your burgers...

[mischiefbreeder]

...I'm what.

[burningfighter.livejournal.com]

*Points.*

[mischiefbreeder]

[He reaches his hand up to touch his cheek and... BLOOD. The wound feels like it already formed a scab, but all his chewing combined with the heat must have aggravated it.

...Slowly he stands up now and goes to the bathroom. Needamirrorneedamirror...]
