[Lancer seemed to be in an infinitely better mood than when he last broadcast from his own Pokegear; being in the company of someone like Saber that actually put up with him was a wonderful remedy for loneliness.]

[Not that he was lonely. Lancer would have sworn otherwise to his dying breath. One hand idly petting the Tauros walking at his side, he spoke with a casual grin on his face.]

Yo. I got a question for you guys--see, my fight at the Azalea gym got a little out of hand.

[It would forever be known as The Incident, of which there was no record past Lancer's second badge. But this was the guy that called a berserk rage that wiped out half an army 'a rough day', so 'out of hand' was clearly A Big Deal. He was still replacing the parts of his inventory that had gotten incinerated.]

So I figured I might as well know what I was getting into for once--what can you guys tell me about the leader here in Goldenrod?

[You know what they say about 'speak of the devil', Lancer? Did they have that in ancient Ireland?]

Ohmigawd! [As Lancer and his Tauros pass by the aforementioned Goldenrod City Gym, a girl practically leaps out of nowhere--her eyes may or may not have been replaced with comically oversized pink hearts.]

Uh...yeah?

Ohmigawd I never get to see a guy as good looking as you around here! [Or she's just conveniently forgotten the hundreds of fangirl bait challengers that have gone through her gym in the past. Before our grinning idiot's ego could inflate any further, he's interrupted by the girl being distracted by OOH SHINY.] You have to tell me how you get your hair that nice!

Well, I- [You know that ponytail of yours, Lancer? This mysteriously unbalanced girl is now taking hold of it and dragging you offscreen.] Ow--ow! Hey, what the hell do you--ow, knock it off!

[Left onscreen is a mildly confused Tauros just watching this in silence. Whitney's squealing and Lancer's cursing in what sounds like a foreign language can be heard offscreen until the Pokegear shuts off.]

[Good luck getting responses. He's kind of busy.]

[Video; roughly half an hour later:]



...Y'know, there's a story in my country now about a knight that literally couldn't keep women off of him. Some kinda curse or something.

But somehow I doubt one ever pounced on him, dragged him off, and refused to let go of him until she'd brushed and braided his hair.

Who the hell was that girl and what just happened?

...At least you did not have to take her out shopping. That's a rather common outcome.

This happen a lot around here? What, did I just escape a serial hairbrush bandit with a weakness for department stores?

[ Inspecting the braid the best she can from the video feed, almost as though she was comparing his to her own. ]

It does not suit you.

That bad? I used to wear it like this when I was a kid, but only after Scathach yelled at me to do something about it before she set it on fire.

{Guess who was watching from a cafe when Whitney dragged him off. Guess who is so confused still.}

A-ah, Lancer-san... Are you alright?

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

Great, just great.

[The Tauros beside him snorted, looking remarkably smug for a giant bull.]

Trying to figure out what the hell just happened.

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

You know that gym leader you wanted to know about?

[Video]

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

Pretty sure I remember saying something about that before Little Miss Sparklebrains whipped out a brush, yeah.

[video yep]

It looks like Whitney-chan has taking a liking to you!

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

Was that her name? I didn't catch it in between the squealing.

[nankurunaizer.livejournal.com]

No way...your hair is a lot prettier than I've ever seen on any man before!

[Unfortunately, Hibiki says this like she's weirded out...and she is.]

[usedbrine.livejournal.com]

Could be worse! She could have put flowers in your hair!

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

I'm just glad I got away before she broke out the frilly ribbon shit.

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

...Yeah, I don't know what the hell that was either.

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

Heh. Nice hair, Lancer.

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

...My head still hurts from that crazy girl yanking on it.

[video]

[tensaizenzai.livejournal.com]

Clearly, she's a girl who likes your hair.

[video]

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

Really. Shit, I never would have guessed that.

[bakaitoukid]

[snicker] That was Whitney. She's pretty cute, isn't she?

[video]

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

Cute, yeah. Crazy and a little too young for my tastes, but cute.

[1-2-jango-zzzz.livejournal.com]

I don't know dude... that doesn't sound like much of a curse you know.

If I remember the story right, it didn't really work out too great for the poor bastard.
