006 | Video
[The sound of rain hitting terra cotta tiles can be heard as the video starts up, revealing a wide shot of the front of Sprout Tower. Kaneki can be seen sitting in the dry grass beneath the overhang with his hair damp and wearing a blue jacket that's darkened along the shoulders, evidence that he just recently got caught in a downpour. There's a Ratatta on one of his shoulders, curled up as close as she can get to his face and shivering from her whiskers to her long tail wrapped like a loose scarf around his neck.
Also, there are sheep. How many sheep?
So many.
Mareep, to be exact, each one of them with their wooly bodies wet and causing them to shiver a little, too, all clustered near and around Kaneki beneath the overhang. His Bouffalant is lying in the grass a few feet away with his hooves beneath himself and even more Mareep huddled up against him, seeking the warmth of his massive bouffafro.]
I thought I would be able to make it back without getting caught in the rain, but...I guess I should have expected as much.
[Kaneki laughs a little, currently petting the head of a Mareep nestled between his knees. The little sheep bleets softly at the contact, bumping its nose into his hand.]
I feel bad for these little guys, all caught out in the rain like this. They, ah...don't seem to like it very much.
[That's said with a slight jerk as he pulls his hand back from the Mareep's wool, shaking his hand slightly when he feels his fingertips get a slight shock, like one might after rubbing their socks on carpet before touching somebody on the arm. All of the sheep are loaded with static, but with all of this water around...it's living dangerously having so many of them congregated under one roof, so to speak. But he can't bring himself to shoo them away, and it's raining too hard to leave just yet...]
Does anyone know just how long they might be around? It feels like every time I look there are more of them...and it doesn't look like this rain is going to stop any time soon.
[He's already lost count of how many he's seen today alone, not to mention all of the ones with him now. Still, he doesn't mind staying out here with them for a while. It's better than staying cooped up in the hotel all day, after all.]

[Weird that she has to pause and consider, and Maka knows it, so she puts context to it as best she can.]
I was here once a few years ago, that's when I had Kali. Then I left and came back years later, that's when I got Bolt. I don't remember those times super well, but I have some impression of them in my head, so I know they definitely happened.
[Yes, Maka's history with Johto is very complicated.]
--Anyway, I'll get another pair of gloves and be right over, don't drown.

[She's given him a lot to chew on while she makes her way over, at least. So she had gone home before...?]
no subject
Fortunately most if not all of the people that "knew" her then have since returned to their own worlds, so there's no more confusingly friendly people invading her space. Just a tiny electric flying squirrel that insist on clinging to her head, like it is now as Maka tromps up to where Kaneki is a few minutes later--umbrella in one hand and a box in the other.]
Hey! Sorry it took so long, I wanted to pack in some towels too.
[And as said, Maka sets down the box and brings out a pair of rubber gloves for herself and a pair meant for Kaneki. Obvious rule of thumb being if you're going to interact with electricity, you'll need rubber.
The Emolga migrates from Maka's head to Kaneki's immediately, absorbing any static he's accumulated being next to the Mareep.]
Ahhh--darnit, Bolt, you need to ask people before you do that.
no subject
It's alright. I've had Pokemon climbing all over me today...what's one more?
[Kaneki reaches out as he talks, carefully taking the rubber gloves so he can slip them on. The Mareep settled between his knees watches curiously, her head still resting on one of his knees. She lets out a soft 'baaa' as he runs a now glove covered hand over the top of her head, thankful that he can do so now without getting shocked.]
Thank you. That's better, isn't it?
