[text/action] forward dating to super early thurs morning + mid afternoon [video]
Dear Poppop,
After what happened the other night, I feel I need a little self reflection time.
If you could please keep an eye on Jake, Dirk and Aradia,
I would be incredibly grateful.
- Jane
To Dirk,
Please don't worry about me, Mr. Strider!
I felt like taking a short trip on my own,
and on a spur of the moment feeling, decided to leave early.
I will keep in touch!
- Jane
To Aradia,
I do hope it won't be much trouble to ask that you to keep Jake and Dirk out of trouble.
Jake with his sense of direction,
and Dirk with his sassy, cool attitude.
I will keep in touch,
so please don't worry!
- Jane
Jake,
I sincerely apologize for the way I behaved at the party,
it was absolutely terrible of me to let myself get so drunk.
I thought about my actions, and decided to take a small trip.
I will keep in touch, so don't worry about me.
- Jane

(action)
[Now that she was packed up and those notes were promptly placed on their respective doors, Jane made quick work of slipping on her boots and jacket. Very quietly, she slipped out the door and shut it even quieter, and led her small group of Pokemon towards the south end of town. On reaching the very edge, Jane moved and saddled up on her Deerling, two Growlithe moving in to flank her, and both strapped with two eggs each; Jane carried the last that had been on James' back.
Over the river and through the woods,
to nowhere in particular she goes..]

(video)
[It's much later in the day when the video feed gets bumped on, where Calli the Chikorita is wiggling the gear with her vines, holding it out of reach of a whining Shinx. In the background, there's sounds of ... a battle? Lou and James are in the middle of a tag team battle, taking on some wild Pokemon with Jane and judging from the sounds that continue, are doing quite well; Calli and Geoff continue playing tag with the gear for another good ten minutes, before there is some displeased barking.
Both little ones drop the gear and scurry away, where a Growlithe shows up on the feed and yaps at the screen some more. It's not much longer before Jane finally appears, looking.. well, all sorts of weary and tired. Giving the dog Pokemon a dubious look, she reaches down to get the gear.]
Comet, shush! No one is there!
[Rubbing one eye and looking at the screen again, Jane almost jumps out of her skin on seeing that red recording light. Smacking her hand over the camera, she fumbles a few minutes before it turns off.]
[Text then video, private to Jane]
Be careful, though.
Let us know if you need help.
Not that I'm in the best position to give it, considering my miniscule team.
We'll let you know if we leave Goldenrod.
[That's Dirk's response to the message, and aside from a bit of worry about Jane, he hadn't expected much to come of it. When he sees the video, though, he responds. He's a bit worried.]
You okay?
[text, private]
I had a miniscule team when I first arrived too,
don't worry about a thing.
Soon enough, you'll have little Pokemon climbing your legs
stealing your glasses
all those shenanigans.
Yes, I am quite fine!
It figures as soon as I try to get somewhere
I get tired, when I couldn't get a wink of sleep earlier.
[text, private]
Hangovers are a bitch, according to Roxy.
[Guess who still doesn't know that Jane knows that he and Jake kissed last night.]
[text, private]
and leaving early permitted that.
Yes, they are
but I remembered enough chats with my Dad to drink plenty of water!
It really a lot.
[text, private]
Not that you'd complain the way RL does, but being key to someone's misery isn't fun.
[text, private]
I believe you wound up having a few of those spiked drinks as well.
