And one more makes eight. [Says a grinning Lancer (all sharp canines and trouble), tossing a badge to himself in one hand.] Damn, it's just bad luck to have to go up against me with anything flammable. I almost feel bad about that one. [Almost.]

Now that I'm finished here, maybe I can find more of a challenge in Kanto. Don't think I've spent much time there outside of Celadon--wonder if they remember kickin' me out.

[Shrugging, he pocketed the badge without elaborating on that remark. The video tilted slightly as Lancer moved to shut it off, calling over his shoulder 'YO, YOU WANNA GO ON A ROAD TRIP']

Turns out Erika's not the kind of girl that likes being asked out for drinks after work. Same with all the other trainers in the gym, too.

[did you hit on every single one]

[...okay, I mean, it's not like we can really expect otherwise from the dude who literally slept with like, half of Ireland, but it's not like Cecil knows any of that.

Sooo he'll give Lancer the most unsure look ever while internally mulling over why the hell this particular gym leader is named that name]

...that...makes sense?

[UUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHH]

Okay, she'll still probably kick you out, but maybe you could try apologizing?

I'm not sure what kind of apology to go for here, but I'm also not sure what advice I'm actually qualified to give you.

[solas_ion]

Could give it a shot, sure.

[Shrug.]

But I kind of don't think it'll work very well.

[nvcr]

Yeah, I'm...not really sure there is a way to recover from that one.

...eh, as I always say: regret nothing until it's too late.

Then regret everything.

[solas_ion]

That's a little dark, don't you think?

[nvcr]

...kind of, I guess...

I mean, when you compare it to everything else in the universe, I don't really think so?

[solas_ion]

Regrets don't just pile up to smack you in the face like that, though. You can either live underneath them, or ignore them entirely.
