rivalappearedGood morning, every one! This is Green, one of your RA's. Just want to remind everyone going into the weekend to stay safe. I know some of you guys really like to party. Just be careful, okay? Also a reminder that if anyone needs anything, I'll be right here, as always. I know I'm not much help, but it is my job...
A-also! Squirt! Spear! What do you guys want for lunch today?
That applies to you too, Kerosene! What are you in the mood to eat today? I'll bring it right over!

So, uh. Here's a shy little knock at the RA door.]
Re: [Action]
Kerosene! Hello!
[There's a moment of fumbling. Don't be rude, Green.]
Come in, please!
[Action]
Um, I brought you something. [Kerosene holds out the little bag.] These are the first human food I ever ate. Since you're always bringing me food, I thought... maybe I should bring you something, too.
Re: [Action]
Thank you!! You didn't have to do anything like that, I just like cooking!
[He looks inside, taking out an almond and popping it into his mouth.]
Chocolate covered almonds... these are great! You have good taste.
[Action]
Haha... Aiden's the one with good taste, not me. He was the one who let me try them in the first place.
[EVERYTHING IS AIDEN, film at 11]
[Action]
[Green sets Kerosene's present on the table and walks back to the stove, where he's finishing up omelettes]
You like spicy food, right?
[Action]
[That smile falters for a second. But then it's back the second food is mentioned. Kerosene is nothing if not predictable.]
Yeah, it's my favorite.
Re: [Action]
Good! I thought you did, so I put some peppers in yours.
[Green scoops the omelettes onto plates, turns off the stove, and brings them over to the table.]
Here you go!
[Action]
...It's delicious.
[Action]
I'm glad! My sister taught me how to cook.
[Green starts eating his own breakfast.]
How've you been?
[Action]
[Okay as in "Aiden hasn't been returning his calls he is beginning to suspect it is the end of the world as he knows it" okay, but it's a little funny. Even if Aiden has a way of popping up in every other sentence Kerosene says, sometimes... when he's with Green, he'd rather be talking about Green than Aiden.]
...I didn't know you had a sister.
Re: [Action]
Yep, her name's Daisy. She's my older sister. I guess I never actually told you about my family!
[He props his chin on his hand, reflecting.]
I've got Daisy, and my mom and dad. I'm sure you know that Prof. Oak is my grandad.
[Action]
[And a moment of chewing thoughtfully.]
What are they like? Your family, I mean.
[Action]
... My sister is very kind. Always looking to help. My parents are... really impressive. They're skilled.
[He feels sad talking about them. Something's pulling at him, demanding to stop. He has no idea why he wouldn't want to talk about his parents, so he ignores it.]
They expect a lot from me, so I try to make them proud. I don't know if I'm really the way they wanted me to turn out, but... I'll keep trying.
[Action]
You've got a really big heart, I mean. You're always doing nice things for people, and you remember my name and that I like spicy food and all that stuff. Your Pokemon are so happy to be yours... uh, not that I know them all that well. They seem happy about it, anyway. I don't know how humans raise their kids, but I think anybody would be happy to have a kid like that.
[Action]
... Thank you, Kerosene.
[He seems to think for a moment, then makes a decision, taking his necklace off from around his neck.]
I mean, I think they are proud of me? I mean, sometimes...
[He opens the pendant, revealing it to be a locket. Inside there is a scrap of paper folded impossibly small.]
They wrote this note for me, right before they--
[Left. For the market. Right? He lets the sentence hang, he's not really sure how to end it for some reason. He unfolds the paper, and read the note aloud.]
Kids-- Going out. Keep the house clean. Don't cause any trouble. -Mom and Dad.
[He pauses, looking a little confused. He knew this was in his locket, but for some reason he couldn't remember when they had written the note.]
Uh, well, I mean Daisy and I are really good with keeping everything in order. I guess that's what they meant. I think it's a compliment if you think about it... I do get into trouble a lot though, 'cause I don't pay attention...
[Suddenly he didn't feel like eating. He folded the paper back up, slowly, still raking through his memories.]
[Action]
Green... they really do love you. Even if you do get in trouble.
[Not that he even knows Green's parents at all. He just... really, really wants to let Green know he's loved.]
Re: [Action]
Yeah... they do. No question. I should call them later.
[He swoops his plate up, heading back to the kitchen area.]
I guess my eyes were bigger than my stomach.
[Action]
[Oh. Kerosene scarfs down what's left of his omlette and rises from the table, bringing his plate too.]
It's kind of funny how human families work, anyway. It's so different from the way we do it.
[Action]
How do you do it?
[Action]
...It's a bit different when you come from the lab, though. It's kind of embarrassing, so let's keep it between you and me, but I spent a lot of time with my mom even after I was a week old.
[Action]
[Action]
[Action]
Wh- Your mom is that Charizard?! That's so cool! I've known her my whole life, obviously! Do you ever see her any more?
