[Suddenly, on a video feed near you for no reason whatsoever, a llama.]

[A llama with a crush on our special agent.]



[OTP.]

[Also, talk about deja vu.]


(As per usual, action absolutely anywhere, with or without llamas! GO WILD. I want all of you!)

[AUDIO - and this isn't Cooper speaking. It's a strange, stilted voice you don't recognise.]

You are heere an thereis no place to g o ... BUT HOME!!

[After that, have some laughter. Again, not Cooper.]

[ACTION ANYWHERE: A lot of you know Cooper, but none of you know exactly how bizarre his life actually is. If you run into him today - anywhere, because any one step in a 4th wall is a treacherous one - you might find him accompanied by a Little Man, clad entirely in red, with secretive eyes. He carries a ring. Coop looks ... troubled.]

[You might find yourself in a Red Room, actually. With the Little Man, the Ring, and perhaps other things. Cooper may or may not be there.]

[Or that might not happen at all. In which case just feel free to bother Coop with having your true form/powers back/your very presence. Nevermind the Little Man, he has no business with you.]

(ooc: might do some tagging with reddrapes! the Red Room is basically a place that screws with your mind, so if you want me to mess with your characters just let me know. COME AT ME BROS)

It's been a week since the collective memory loss. And,that said, six months since the last time we found ourselves in a near-identical situation.

That does raise the question of whether this will happen again another six months from now. But I guess until then we'll have plenty of time to figure out what happened May 28 through to May 30. I am assuming that something did. As I imagine most of you are.

[If anyone missed Coop's business-voice, it's back! He speaks fairly quickly, as per usual, but stops there to think for a moment. He breathes out slowly before changing to video, showing a Solrock hovering some distance away.]


On a different note, it looks like I've found an addition to my team. Well, more accurately, it found me. A remarkable pokémon, isn't it? A rock with psychic powers ...

[There's genuine wonder in his tone before he trails off. Yeah, he's just a touch distant. As he then clears his throat lightly, he's back in serious mode.]

Some of you might recognise it as Princess Celestia's. [A small beat, and his voice softens:] Looks like our pony population is dwindling.


[Action for Violet! Feel free to run into him anywhere, as per usual. He's about. Tags will be later though - awkward time zone person has to sleep. <3]

( minor tl;dr in which there is musing )



[This video is brought to you by a plateful of cake, because cake is what you eat on birthdays, and Coop’s voice behind the feed is … well, almost amused, really. Most of you might be used to the brisk business-like tone? Yeah, it’s pretty much gone. Much more casual, here.]

I realize I might not be the best at celebrating properly, but I’d like to think I’m off to a good start.

[He turns the gear over smoothly to film his face, which, while grinning, also has something near-disbelieving expressed in it, mixed with ... sort of like there’s a really good joke and he hasn’t quite gotten the punch line yet, but has a good idea of what it might be.]

Ventus, thanks again. I only recently found the extra money in my account which I assume is your doing. Will try to spend them well. If nothing else, ice cream is a real good idea.

Dee – [a small pause, where the grin softens a little and he shakes his head] I really shouldn’t have expected anything different from you.



All in all, this is shaping up to be a fine day.

[Cause the filtering-private-feed stuff? Yeah, it isn’t his style. Anyone in Goldenrod can feel free to run into him, either at the café-thing or in the hotel! Assume he's about and doing stuff, or just ... APPEAR AT HIS ROOM.]

[This feed opens with ... trees. And lots of them. You get a nice view of the tree trunks and the snow covered ground, before the video tilts upwards, giving you a mostly clear sky and a cold-shining sun, the tree tops (the firs, the spruces, and all the barren ones) framing the moment nicely as a few bird pokémon fly across the sky.]

[Honestly? It does look beautiful, which Cooper brings to attention a few moments later, his voice all wistful behind the gear:]

Man ... look at those trees.

[Enjoy the trees and the snow and the sun for another few moments, network, before the feed is cut. Cooper is just giving you guys a view of little-things-to-be-happy-about.]


[Action if anyone is out in Ilex Forest! If you come across him, you’ll find him whittling. :D]
