Da Future

[50shadesofprotag]

Soooo in the future! Hilda managed to woo Silver and keep him for more than a week.

When Hilda's about 26 and Silver's 24, she's finally got him doing more "couple"-like things with her.




It's a good thing they're a somewhat decent age to be parents?

My name's Blue!

[soulknight]

[Of course he's- grandpa? What? What the hell is she--]

Real funny. [He's quick to point his cuestick straight at her neck; it's pretty precise for someone who's blind.] You sound nothing like her. Who are you? What do you want? [...Still, she doesn't sound like she's lying...]

[shhhspoilers]

[She seems completely undaunted! She just tilts it away from her neck with a finger and continues talking excitedly.]

No, no! Daddy said I'm named after his big sister! I'm Blue Ember, and you're another version of my dad, right? Daddy did say he was kind of a time-and-space traveler unwittingly! Say, have you met any girl named Hilda yet?

[Sis why do you have to ask the saddest questions]

[tsuntrader]

[Yes. Yes, that's another him. Not him, but close enough...

...How the hell is he even supposed to deal with this-]

[soulknight]

[What in the hell is she talking about-]

Get your buddies to back off before this gets messy.

[shhhspoilers]

Oh come on, you're not scary. I'll pay for the ice cream, okay? That's just my dad and brother anyway.

[soulknight]

[That can be changed-]

[tsuntrader]

Give him a little space, you two. [How the hell does he even-]

Your name is Silver, right? You're a little far away from home.

[shhhspoilers]

Okay. Return, Spike!

[Back in the ball goes Jolteon! Blue doesn't quite step back, but she does rock back and forth on her feet, humming casually. Barett is just awkwardly staring at this debacle.]

[soulknight]

[That... That sounds eerily similar to his voice...

...Was "Blue" telling the truth? No, that's impossible- no. No it's not, is it? Really strange, but not impossible. Nothing's impossible.

But why?

He nods his head, then realizes that if this guy is him, he won't be able to see, so-]

Yeah. Who the hell are you? [He's a little on edge. Sue him.]

[morelikethedude]

[Barett tugged on his father's sleeve, warily whispering.]

Do you really think he's you? Why's he blind?

[tsuntrader]

Why didn't Crys fix your eyes? [He gently squeezes Barett's shoulder- he's figuring it out.]

[soulknight]

[He can hear Barett clearly, but-

The only way he could know about that is if he was there.

There's no animosity in his tone.]

You can see?

[morelikethedude]

...Should we bring him home? You know... outta the city...

[Since he knows his actual dad doesn't like crowds or being the center of attention, which is starting to happen at this point. Blue waves at her real dad before running off to pay for the ice cream that Silver stole.]

[soulknight]

I'm not a charity case. I'm fine right where I am.

[There's no way in hell that he's-]

[tsuntrader]

[Oh my god was he really this much of a little shit when he was younger-]

You don't have to stay. We could brief you, maybe feed you, and send you on your way.

This city is bigger than Goldenrod and on the other side of the world. Good luck navigating it on your own.

[soulknight]

...If this is a trap, you won't have a house anymore. [That's as close to a yes as he's getting.]

[morelikethedude]

...Dad, you were really rude as a kid.

1/2

[tsuntrader]

I don't want to talk about it. [This is a headache waiting to happen-] Come on. [He's. He's already proven that he can handle himself in terms of navigation, but if he needs help, it will be obvious enough.]

[soulknight]

[Yeah yeah whatever, let's go. Silver fairly effortlessly navigates with his cuestick.

Weavile gives Silver a Casteliacone, then after some consideration, he holds one out for Barett as a peace offering. Yes? Maybe?]

[morelikethedude]

[Yes! Barett likes dad's Weavile, and even younger weavile can't be that bad. Headpats for young Weavile!]

Hi, kid-weavile. Nice to meet you.

[Blue finally catches up, too, her grin practically audible.]

[soulknight]

[Hey, hey, kid-weavile? Whats that supposed to mean-]

[tsuntrader]

[Yeah, this. This is sufficiently awkward.]

[shhhspoilers]

[While Barett starts spoiling kid-Weavile with offered treats, Blue starts bugging Silver again.]

So! You're... fifteen? Sixteen? How old are you?

[She sounds like she's having the time of her life...]
