[There's been a lot of stuff going on on Coop's end lately. Between fighting sudden fire mutations, two of his coworkers arriving, having very interesting dates and other shenanigans going on, he hasn't felt the need nor exactly had the time to adress the network.]

[Today is different.]

[Today is a very important day with a very important topic.]

Evening, network! I have a proposition to make.

[Wait for it ...]

While there is no shortage of action in both regions, especially as of late, [you Rockets been busy, haven't you,] I still find that I have a preference to the kind offered by puzzle games. And to my knowledge I'm not the only one.

So how about some friendly competition? I'd love a Tetris score to beat other than my own.

[YEP. He's still playing. It's been a year since he last mentioned it and since then, what with all the game recommendations, he's been slowly going through most games the apps have to offer. And gotten mildly addicted to almost all of them. But Tetris is still his one true love. Tetris and Minesweeper.]

I'm thinking an all-encompassing high score table. I'll keep it updated for as long as there's interest. Any takers?

[Dork.]

[Also action for anyone in Goldenrod - he'll be easily found along the streets, hanging out with some of his pokémon, window shopping or messing with his gear some. It's a nice quiet day and he's happy to just soak in that for a while.]

Audio, private to Heather: I'm in town. Do you have time to meet?

Are you finally giving it a rest? I honestly didn't think anything could be more profoundly annoying than the incessant background music, but that damn Tetris theme is giving it a run for its money.

No, Albert, I'm trying to get other people to join me.

_{[HE EXPLAINS, with the kind of tone you'd find in a patient child.]}

[Oh, hell, he knows that tone, that is the tone that is the immediate precursor to him delivering a righteous verbal smackdown of Gandhi-esque love onto one Sheriff Harry Truman. Let's not even go there with that tone.]

The average resident here has the mental acuity of a loaf of bread. I doubt you're going to find many contenders for your record.

Well, then I'll just have to prove you wrong.

_{[His tone is one of unworried cheerfulness. He has no doubt that he'll get one or two to play against. And if not, then hey, he can hassle the intelligent guy talking to him right now, cause isn't that an excellent idea?]}

I'll wait with bated breath.

[SARCASM.]

But since you've finally got a minute amidst your utterly pressing adventures in organizational geometry, we should talk about Gordon.

_{[Fine, okay, he's paying attention now.]}

You mean about giving him a ride.

No, I meant about where I can buy earplugs by the gross.

We're in Goldenrod, Albert. Try the department store.

[...Okay, yes, fine, he meant about giving him a ride. B| ]

You've been back on your feet for a couple weeks now. Are you going to fly down yourself this time?

If Carmen is willing to lend me one of her fliers, yes. If not I'd still like to go along with her.

[Damn that woman and her seven things that fly. Some people get stuck walking and she's practically her own air force.]

Which leaves me to babysit the Viking kids. [Pause.] You know that kid Reid's down there, too, right now.

Are you suggesting we pick him up as well?

_{[It was something in the phrasing there, after all. Coop hasn't thought about it himself, but he wouldn't exactly be opposed, depending.]}

I'm not suggesting anything. But if you're going, you should keep an eye out for him. He is one of ours.

I'll be sure to do that. I'd like to meet him regardless of the fact.

Smart kid, too.

[A pause of about fifteen seconds.]

...Too bad he just died of cholera.

Chol-

_{[??? ... oh wait.]

[c:]}

You're playing Kanto Discovery Trail.

It's not Tetris.

_{[WHO CARES IT'S NOT TETRIS]}

It's my favorite, Albert, not the only game I play.

[Do not make him come up there and beat your high score just to prove a point.]

Let's hope you're better at playing it than you are at being the wagonmaster. You thought it was a bright idea to try to ford Route 19 and your team lost five Pokeballs and two Potions to the undertow.

_{[Coop has to process that for a second and then he gets up and starts moving across the hall to the hotel room just across, knocking on the door as he keeps talking.]}

You know me. I'd never be so reckless.

Gordon caught the chills from getting dunked in the water. In my expert opinion, there's a good chance it'll turn out to be pneumonia.
