silentscales[A man appears on screen with a seviper poking his head in and an ekans around his shoulders. He is wearing a plain black long sleeved shirt, looking through some warm clothes in a store.]
I was gone for a while, but I am glad to be back. We lost the things we had saved up until now, says Gaskell.
I miss Ruskin, says John.
[OOC: Snake can also be found in Rocket headquarters later in the day, checking out the TVs and video games and trying to figure out how they work.]

Date: 2014-02-05 09:31 pm (UTC)I just arrived a week ago! What store are ya in?
[He has a Rapidash, he will be there in a heartbeat if he can make it happen.]
video;
Date: 2014-02-05 09:33 pm (UTC)You're here too, asks John?
video; -- action;
Date: 2014-02-05 09:44 pm (UTC)[One last grin to the 'Gear before he turns it off. Expect to see a fiery horse screeching to a stop in front of the store sometime soon, Snake, plus a pair of zebra with their own Pokemon passengers. The Pidove is not pleased.]
action;
Date: 2014-02-05 09:53 pm (UTC)You look good, says John!
action;
Date: 2014-02-05 10:18 pm (UTC)[As Joker tries to be both careful and quick while getting off the Rapidash- something much harder to do with one hand- the two Blitzle go to investigate their new Seviper friend. When Joker finally gets off, he grins to Snake and claps him on the shoulder.]
Cold can't be treatin' ya too well! Ya just missed some warm weather. [There's a slight pause as he catches his breath and something in his expression gets just a little- softer.]
Real glad ta see ya, Snake.
action;
Date: 2014-02-06 12:54 am (UTC)In a rare gesture get reaches out to put his hand on Joker's arm,] I was looking for you back home, says John.
action;
Date: 2014-02-06 01:46 am (UTC)[At suddenly being touched, Joker jolts a little but his smile doesn't start to falter until that statement gets said.]
Ah... Sorry fer makin' ya go ta all that trouble. I didn't think a trip back home would end up in such a mess that I couldn't come back ta the circus.
action;
Date: 2014-02-06 02:07 am (UTC)His Ekans nudges him a bit as both he and the Seviper move closer to the Rapidash. It seems to be what he needs to say,] It has been longer than that, says John.
action;
Date: 2014-02-06 03:00 am (UTC)[Finally, he can't help but sigh.]
Thinkin' we outta have this conversation somewhere a bit more private, Snake.
action;

Date: 2014-02-06 07:26 am (UTC)[Ah, this is going to hurt to talk about... Snake actually spent time looking for him, too. What a way to kick him in the heart...]
[When they're finally in his room- most of his team now in their Pokeballs besides his Mime Jr. and Luxray- does Joker finally clear his throat. Well, there's no nice way to put this.]
'Fraid ya won't find me back in England, Snake... or anywhere, frankly.
action;
Date: 2014-02-06 07:29 am (UTC)[His Seviper wraps protectively around him, listening carefully while his ekans hisses softly but not threateningly.]
action;
Date: 2014-02-06 07:38 am (UTC)[Almost right as he says it, the vase on the bedside table suddenly gets flung across the room, shattering on the far wall. Joker gives a jolt and promptly looks at his Mime Jr. whose eyes are glowing faintly while the small thing looks nearly murderous. Oh, he thought they had that under control.]
Bugger- Lightnin', try and get her under control. [He doesn't even have to say it before the Luxray is practically laying right down on top of her companion. There might be some Pokebickering going on in the background, but Joker has bigger things to deal with as he looks back to Snake.]
As in Ciel Phantomhive? The Earl?
action;
Date: 2014-02-06 07:44 am (UTC)action;
Date: 2014-02-06 07:57 am (UTC)[Joker's tone is a bit dry at that. Just what was that kid playing at..? He goes to pick up Angel the Mime Jr., who's saying some very unladylike things in Pokespeak.]
Him and I are gonna have some conflicting stories then, I'll be honest with ya.
[This conversation got considerably more difficult than he had figured it would be.]
action;
Date: 2014-02-06 08:06 am (UTC)But this is Joker. How could he not believe Joker.
But Joker had left him out of the loop. Left him behind....] Why didn't you say what all of you were doing, asks John.
[He needed to know that before he could make any other decisions on how he felt about anything that might be said. He didn't want to immediately accuse Joker, but he needed to know. He needed to know why he was left alone with nothing but a scarf from his friends.]
action;
Date: 2014-02-06 08:38 am (UTC)[He doesn't exactly want to tell any of this, let alone all of it, but it's obvious he's actually going to have to be honest until he knows more about what the Earl's been telling Snake.]
It's not exactly the kind of thing ya go around tellin' people, even when ya care for 'em... Some of the others weren't comfortable with it just yet even 'tho ya did watch our backs better than anythin'. Ya were still a bit new, after all. [He heaves out a sigh.] Besides, don't know what Phantomhive told ya, but rest of us first tier had our reasons for doin' what we did. Didn't need ta involve ya with our personal dirty business.
action;
Date: 2014-02-06 08:54 am (UTC)He isn't going to say anything yet, but he's also not judging Joker. He just needs to understand what happened. Mostly because now Ciel has also become an important person to him.]

Date: 2014-02-06 09:18 am (UTC)[He wants to make sure they're both on the same page, especially with one Earl Phantomhive messing with the entire book.]
Well... He was also the one who ran the orphanage us first tier members are all from, the one who picked us off the streets personally like a father, and... the one who asked us ta do what we'd been doin'. He was lookin' for someone in particular. So long as we were searchin', then he'd keep the circus funded and, bit more importantly, the home as well.
I'll cut the suspense and just tell ya he was lookin' for the Earl.
[He pets Angel, who's shaking rather violently in his lap.]
action;
Date: 2014-02-06 09:36 am (UTC)[He keeps remembering how much Ciel reminded him of everyone.] I thought he caused you to disappear, but he said he knows you were not bad people and that it wasn't really your fault, says John!
[Snake isn't really sure whose words he's voicing right now, but John is hissing as adamantly as he is speaking. The seviper still seems to be trying to figure out just what is going on.
action;
Date: 2014-02-06 09:50 am (UTC)[It's actually a little helpful- by focusing on her emotions (or rather what she's feeling from him), then he can try and stay calm himself.]
Well... I won't deny that we mighta come ta some understandin', although it wasn't the pleasant sort. But... As I said before: his story and mine sound like they're gonna be pretty different.
Ya like him that much?
action;
Date: 2014-02-06 09:55 am (UTC)[And that is probably Snake's greatest weakness. If someone could treat him well, see past his appearance and his speech it made it that much easier for Snake to like them.]
