Seventy-Fifth Launch

[infinitejustice]

[Video; Action for Goldenrod City]

Hey, I've been curious. Has anybody spent a lot of time in New Bark Town? I've never even spent a night there, and in my experience, most other people brought here are much the same. I was just wondering if anybody was more thorough in their time there.

On that note, I'm going to New Bark Town. I think the town is well overdue for a thorough investigation. I don't want any of you coming with me; the fewer people do this, the better, and I'm versed enough in stealth that I can do it without detection. I wanted to let you know because you deserve to know. Call me if there are any problems in my absence.

Shinn, I'm going to New Bark Town to conduct an investigation. The reason why I'm telling you this is that you're the only person here whom I can trust to give me sufficient backup. I wanted to extend to you the chance to join me on this; I can easily pick you up on the way.

Well, you are the type who likes to tinker with machines and all that, so it's pretty obvious you'll enjoy yourself even though there's likely nothing there!

[infinitejustice]

...You've got a point with that. It'll be interesting to see what kinds of machines are in the lab, even if you're right. No use in a guy like me arguing against that.

[combat_butler]

Just don't press any giant red buttons you see in the lab.

[video]

[infinitejustice]

Oh, come on. You don't think a guy like me would be careless enough to do something like that, do you?

[video]

[combat_butler]

There isn't a man alive who can resist the allure of a giant red button!

... or at least there isn't a man alive who wouldn't consider it once he sees it.

[infinitejustice]

I think you underestimate the amount of common sense I possess.

[...This coming from a major Gundam character.]

[video]

[combat_butler]

... that sounds more like restraint than common sense...

[video]

[infinitejustice]

Perhaps so. Either way, I'm not that reckless.

[video]

[combat_butler]

Flying half way across Johto just to investigate something on a whim isn't reckless?

[video]

[infinitejustice]

Who says it's on a whim?

[video]

[combat_butler]

... because if you really wanted to do this all along, you'd have done it already? You've been here longer than me, after all... So I think it's definitely whimsical.

[video]

[infinitejustice]

Who's to say I haven't been considering it for the past few weeks? Life has been pretty uneventful here, after all.

[video]

[combat_butler]

Because you don't seem the type to dwell on that kind of thing for weeks...? There's nothing wrong with being whimsical, Athrun-san. In fact it might do you well to be it. It might help you loosen up.
