18th sketch - [voice/action, backdated to august 18th, early in the afternoon]

[From the very first moment that Jeb first starts talking, it's obvious that something's wrong.]

Hello, everyone. It's me, Jeb. I just want everyone to know that Silver has gone home. ...the one who lived with me, I mean. I'm sorry.

[He cuts the feed there, then starts up a new one. One a bit more personal, aimed only at a select few.]

[Filtered to those Silver left letters to, 95% unhackable]

...he left letters for you. Please feel free to contact me, so we can settle on a time and and place to meet up!

[It's obvious that he's trying to be happy, but it's pretty forced overall.]

[Action]

[Jeb will be out and about for a couple of hours. Most commonly he'll be seen trying to draw in various locations, but it's obvious that he's too distracted, too upset, to really get too far. He'll probably appreciate the company if one decides to approach him.]

I'm glad you've been more careful, at least!

[It is indeed how both of these dumb boys work! Jeb makes a small noise 'hm' noise.]

We're almost there.

[ Ash replies with a small nervous-like laugh as Pikachu just has a 'we'll see for how long' look. The moment Jeb mentions that they're almost there though his attention is turned to that. ]

Really? Where are we going, exactly?

[ He's never been to any of the residential building since he stayed at House 1 since well...... day 1 of his time in Luceti. ]

We're going to one of the residential buildings! The Ground Building, actually. That where we--I... I live.

[This is going to take some getting used to. He doesn't want to get used to it, but he knows he can...]

Oooh.... Why is it called the Ground Building?

[ Ash why do you care. ]

I don't know why they call it that now, but I think all of the residential buildings have "elemental" names these days. [Which reminds him of home in a way, and he's not sure if he's entirely okay with that.] The building I used to be in was Community Building six.

Ground Building sounds better than Community Building six, I guess. [ Ground Building makes him think that ground Pokemon should be there though... ] So then how many buildings are there?

It's a nice enough name, I think. Hmm... there used to be six or seven, I believe... I think there are only four or five now, though. [A brief pause.] You probably shouldn't quote me on that, though.

I won't!

[ Chances are he'll never have a random talk about the community buildings again if not for a long time. Although-- ]

Y'know, it's still kinda weird being in the same place for so long after traveling 'round for even longer.

[ Just random words coming out of his mouth really. Maybe to distract Jeb from thinking about other things? Perhaps, but not really intentionally. ]

Ah, you travel?

[Did Ash bring this up before? Jeb can't remember. Ash seems so young, so it's surprising. ...then again, Silver traveled a lot, too--don't think about it, don't think about it.]

Uh-huh! I've been traveling 'round with Pikachu and other friends for a while now. Right now we're traveling a region called Unova.

[ Pikachu gives a small 'pika'. What Ash says is definitely true! ]

Wow, a whole region?

[That's really impressive!]

Yeah. Unova is just one of the few regions I've traveled.

[ Which is more impressive? He actually doesn't realize just how much that says or how accomplishing it is that he's traveled so much. ]

You've traveled more than one?!

[So amazing...!]

Huh? Yeah. Before Unova I traveled... [ Give him a moment] Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh.
