If anyone's looking for me for the next two weeks, don't worry. I'm safe.

I'm just not able to move around during that time. I'm not hurt, though.

I'd have sent this directly to people, but I'm not able to right now - so don't respond unless you mind me not being able to respond privately.

I guess this means I'm missing Valentine's Day? I don't mind much, though. That holiday can be more trouble than it's worth.

On a somewhat related note, what are some things you can do when you're bored that don't involve your Pokemon?

Got a book of puzzles handy? Those got me through a few tedious briefings.

[grapeeater]

No, they're not letting me have anything. Not for a few days at least, probably.

PUSH-UPS.

[grapeeater]

I'm not really great at push-ups but I guess I could try dancing to the background music, even if it's not really good for that.

TO GET GOOD AT PUSH-UPS YOU HAVE TO DO PUSH-UPS. YOU COULD START WITH USING THE WALL INSTEAD OF THE FLOOR.

[...Ah. York has an inkling what's going on here.]

Anyone around to talk to? A little conversation goes a long way.

[grapeeater]

That's true. I'm more speed than muscle. I guess I should start building some more though, since I'll be traveling.

There's a biker or two nearby. Most of them don't look very friendly. I can try, at least.

WHERE YA HEADED?

[Text]

[ratherbelocky]

You might be surprised, the stories bikers can tell. They letting you keep your 'Gear on you or is this a one-time courtesy call?

[Text]

[grapeeater]

They're letting me keep it, though no private calls.

[text]

[grapeeater]

Out of town. I can't be more specific than that right now.

You can write mental letters to people you haven't seen in a while, pretend you're finally catching up. It helped me during the boring periods back home.

[text]

[grapeeater]

Maybe. I'm not sure if they'd want a letter, but I can try.

[text]

[captainash]

Whether or not they'd want a letter doesn't matter all that much. The important part is ordering your thoughts, understanding what parts of your life you'd want to share with others.

[text]

[grapeeater]

True. It's something to think of, at least. I don't have much else to do.

[text]

[captainash]

Really? Don't you have any books you wanted to read? A room you wanted to clean, a new recipe you wanted to try out?

[text]

[grapeeater]

I don't exactly have access to any of those right now.

[captainash]

...Look, if you're lost in a cave somewhere, just say the word and you'll get help. No one's going to laugh, I promise.

[Text]

[ratherbelocky]

At least you've got some form of entertainment, then. Aren't there video games on these things?

[text]

[grapeeater]

No, it's not a cave. It's something a little more urban.

[Text]

[grapeeater]

I've never been much of a gamer. I kind of miss my phone from home.

[text]

[captainash]

The rescue offer also applies if you've been captured by a crazed dictator and are being held captive in his home. I've got successful experience with those situations, I promise.

[text]

[grapeeater]

More lawful than that. But thanks.

And I do too, somewhat.

[ratherbelocky]

Why, was it better than these?
