[video .005] / action for Goldenrod
[Douglas is just sort of sitting around at the bar in the inn, and he's got the 'gear propped up on his bag, which is still filled mostly just with the basics and the things Heather sent him. He's pretty much moved permanently into a room in the inn at this point. Sheldon and Kal-El are fighting over some berries and come pretty near to knocking the 'gear over several times, so it's a while before Douglas can actually pay any attention to the feed he's sending out]
It's been a while since I've done this, hasn't it? Feels like it's been a while, anyway. This time I've actually got a point, though. I've been doin' some odd detective work for people around town lately, and it's got me thinkin'. I know there might not be much demand for this sort of thing, but if anybody needs to hire a private detective, you can contact me anytime. Figured it might do some good to advertise.
[then Kal-El knocks the 'gear over and Douglas sends him a scowl and holds it in his hands rather than risking it getting knocked over again]
I don't charge much. Really just got my room and food expenses to cover, so I'll do whatever you need for pretty cheap. Just send me some details if you have something you want me to work on.Got about twenty years of experience, and there's not a lot I can't handle, I like to think.

I do, actually! I... have some missing pokémon.

[he takes out a small notebook and pencil and flips to a blank page]
What kinda Pokemon, how many, and when did you last see 'em?
video; 1/2
There was a Beedrill, a Vespiquen, a Golem, a Tropius, a Jigglypuff, a Teddiursa, and...
video
video
Is that all?
video
[just spit it out, Sora, it'll only be awkward for a few minutes!
maybe.]
There's a Poliwhirl, too. He usually wears a hat, and...
[and a paper beard, too, but LEAVING OUT THAT ONE DETAIL OKAY.]
His name is Douglas.
Heather gave him to me 'cause I beat her in a spaghetti-eating contest.
video
Well, that seems pretty appropriate.
[he jots this down, too]
A spaghetti eating contest? Good for you. I didn't think anybody could out-eat that girl.
[and then he looks back over his notes]
Where'd you last see these guys?
video
Well, I can definitely hold my own in any eating contest, I guess! We got separated a while back, when I suddenly woke up in New Bark Town and time had passed. I don't even remember what happened.

Alright, I'll check with those guys, and I'll ask around at the adoption center. We'll get your Pokemon back, don't worry.
((OOC: should I throw up a post in a couple of days with Douglas having found them, or are they supposed to remain missing? <3))
video
[ooc; they'll remain missing, unfortunately ;; but Sora will never give up hope that Douglas will find them! that's the kind of optimistic kid he is.]
video
I'll keep in touch, let you know what I find. I'm just glad you gave me some leads to follow up on.
((OOC: poor Sora. But Douglas won't ever give up looking, at least))
