[text] 3/1 idk when

[yanginthere]

hey ash
i wanted to apologize for the weird way i acted the last time we talked
idk if you remember all the details
i kinda hope you dont tbh
but yeah. that was A Thing

[text] we'll roll fast and loose with it

[hashtagafreakingghost]

I remember some of it?

Are you okay? What was going on then I remember
you were just being kind of strange? I didn't think much of it since well we just met but
well are you okay that's the important question

[yanginthere]

im fine now
it was just
this is going to sound weird
but i think
i basically swapped personalities with someone else i know from home

[hashtagafreakingghost]

You
huh


I can securely say that is not at all what I thought was happening

[yanginthere]

me either until i snapped out of it
and realized what a real jerk I was being that day
i guess you didnt get it too bad from me
but i was still talking down at you and id never mean that

[hashtagafreakingghost]

well I
yeah I did notice that
but I didn't really get what was going on and didn't want to presume anything
we haven't known each other very long after all so

[yanginthere]

thats true
even my sister didnt realize what was going on right away

[hashtagafreakingghost]

how can something like that HAPPEN though?
is it just some weird side-effect of this place?
I never experienced anything like that.

[yanginthere]

considering some weird stuff ive heard recently
my first thought is just to chalk it up to pokemon and leave it there
but even just saying that bugs me
first time was harmless enough i guess
but this time? i almost went too far
its good that you didnt have to deal with it though

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[Ah....]

I get it
something making you do or say things you normally wouldn't
but you still feel responsible even with the extenuating circumstances
still I think
it's not your fault
and that you want so much to apologize shows a lot about you!!
And your friends know you well enough to know you'd never say the kind of things you did right?

[yanginthere]

[ Part of that sounds familiar. ]

you make some good points
and yeah they knew
I mean it still sucked
especially for weiss
since she knew EXACTLY who i was acting like

that was probably karma or something

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[None the wiser...]

Yikes.
that does make it a bit more awkward
Was it someone she's had a bad run in with or...?

and what do you mean karma?

[yanginthere]

you remember that tournament i was telling you about?
our team advanced up through the 4v4 to the doubles round
that was where weiss and i squared off against a pair from another school
the girl was named neon katt
she really knew how to get under someones skin
insulted both me
and weiss
plus she was hyper and loud and a showoff
so uh

i was basically neon katt
for a whole day

"yikes" is right

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[Something about that name would be interesting if she just said it out loud but for the moment it just goes riiiight over her head.]

oh
uhhh extra yikes
I'd hate to be acting like someone like that suddenly
have you talked with everyone you
interacted with??
while it was going on I mean

[yanginthere]

[ The color rule overrides the natural inclination to point out the pun. ]

im kind of working on that
slowly
its not just awkward but i feel so dumb every time i bring it up tbh

[hashtagafreakingghost]

yeah
but it's good for you to address it
letting stuff linger leads to gross resentment
which I'm sure you know
they're taking it well right?

[yanginthere]

yeah
i know it

well no ones punched me yet so thats good

[hashtagafreakingghost]

a punch in the face is always an easy indicator of anger

[...on her end she takes a moment and blinks and kind of...reaches a hand up to her left eye and... Then laughs, awkward and a little uneasy but almost genuine.]

the #1 indicator lol
in any case let's just hope nothing like that happens AGAIN

[yanginthere]

yeah same


so anyway besides this weird stuff
everything going good on your end?
beat up any gym leaders yet?

[hashtagafreakingghost]

no not yet
I'm trying to train everyone up to be ready enough
that's basically all that's going on

[Oh, and the anonymous plea for help that many people replied to- no no, don't think about that.]

[yanginthere]

youll get there
i know it
after all we gotta beat this game right?

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[... :) ]

you're right
We do
and I'm gonna train as hard as I can until that happens

[yanginthere]

yeah!
thats the spirit!!

[hashtagafreakingghost]

I expect the same from you
hardcore training until we win
right??

[yanginthere]

RIGHT!!
they wont stand a chance against our crews
