[It rings for a long, long time.

And then at the last second, Pikachu picks up.]

That, uh... That goes to mine. [anxious laugh] Maybe we have the same phone because I'm his Pokemon. It's not like I would've... had my own phone.

[h2no]

...Huh.

[he rubs his beard thoughtfully, the light scratching audible.]

I got nothin', Pikachu. Power fuckery, that's my best guess. Like you can't see each other...

[fursleuth]

That's the worst power ever.

[Okay, but no. Something's wrong.] I... Gotta look into this. I got a feeling in my jellies that something about this ain't right.

[h2no]

Aye, it's up there. I knew a guy who's power was that his face was a punch magnet. Literally. So... could be worse?

[rip manabu]

Your-- wait. Your what?

[fursleuth]

My jellies! The thing where you have a feeling and- Why isn't that phrase catching on?

[h2no]

Because what the hell are jellies, Pikachu?! What part of your body is jelly?

[fursleuth]

There's a lot of parts of your body that jiggle like jelly if they're removed from your body, but that's just creepy and it takes all the romanticism out of it.

[h2no]

Pikachu. That's the worst thing you've ever said to me. This outweighs you saying nipples to me.

[fursleuth]

I'm having a crisis! I'm allowed to be the worst right now.

[h2no]

Disagree.

[a pause, then:] You want me to come over? I'm out the hospital.

[fursleuth]

No, uh... It's fine. [He is so awkward right now.] This might be a solo-soul search thing.

Uhhhh... I'll be in touch. When I figure this out.

[h2no]

...If you're sure. I'll be around.

Good luck, Pikachu.
