Speeding across the land! Soaring across the sky!

[tsuntrader]

[Finding a way out is important and all- or at least exploring is. And since he's gotten here, Silver's done plenty of that.

For now, exploring can wait. There's something that he needs to take care of. Something so important that he can't possibly let it wait another second.

Proteam Omega.

And he's found the perfect room for it. It's such a nice room with a TV that it might as well be a mini movie theatre. He and his Weavile are sitting on a (really nice) couch about four feet away from the television screen with ice cream, soda, and a giant bowl of popcorn between them. Life doesn't get much better than watching mecha anime in surround sound on a huge screen with ice cream and popcorn.

Has he been in here for minutes? Has he been marathoning episodes for hours? It is a mystery.]

[gold would agree if it wasn't such a dumb show

robots fighting??? bring on the ninjas and pirates

at least he can take popcorn from where he's sitting - that is, on the couch's back]

You're gonna go blind.

[tsuntrader]

[Shut up Gold, mechas are awesome. ...And ninjas are vastly superior to pirates anyway.

Silver doesn't respond yet- he just shuffles over to give Gold room to sit down. Weavile scoots his feathery butt too.

This is a great episode, okay.]

[heartofthematter]

[What's that Diamond hears?

Is it?

Could it really be?!

SKIDDING INTO THE ROOM DRAGGING LAX IT'S PROTEAM OMEGA oh my god he's so excited!! Hours spent wandering and rooms looked into, mazes gotten lost in and being attacked by wild Pokémon....! All worth it!

And who's that on the couch? Squuuiiiint IT'S SILVER eeeee senior!! Okay he has good manners he'll bounce to his senior and tap his shoulder excitedly. taptaptaptap]

[tsuntrader]

[...?

-Hey, that's Dia! Silver smiles at him and opens his mouth to say something-

But wait wait wait wait wait shh shh shhhhh--]

The episode about Tauri-Liner's on. Come on. [They can get all close and share the popcorn and everything.]

[forprofit]

[He's been searching for hours and finally this dinky little room has given him what he wanted and he's so relieved, but...

What is this absolute garbage you are watching right now.]

[tsuntrader]

C'mon, Proteam Omega! Take 'em down!

[Red's story with mechas, that's what. The main bad guy's got a grunt outfit with a D on it instead of an R.

Silver and Weavile are both very much aware that someone's entered the room, but they're far too absorbed in the show to turn and see Archer.]

[littletightdress]

[Blue knew Silver liked anime with mechas - he so had a crush on that girl from that one show, it was so obvious - but enough to skip doing work?

Sounds like her kind of plan to be honest, so she'll lean on the back of the couch and watch with them until the end of the episode, slowly eating all of their popcorn.]

1/2

[tsuntrader]

[Good. Silver smiles a little when he sees Blue out of the corner of his eye and makes some room for her, but he won't say anything until after the episode is over...]

[tsuntrader]

[...And, well, he won't say anything after it's over, either. He's a little busy staring at Blue's uniform.]

[beastgirl]

...The heck is this?

[Yeah that's a Sapphire right there in the door, nbd. Silver?? Explain yo fandoms.]

[tsuntrader]

[That voice... That's Sapphire, isn't it? That's not a voice he expected to hear...

But he can't just look away.]

It's- [wait wait wait this is a good line- okay, okay-] my favorite show. [Come watch it with him Sapph it's really good okay]

[aintseennothin]

[Yellow spots this Silver, though she instantly knows it's not the boss. The boss rarely takes off his incredibly stupid costume, especially when watching his favorite cartoons.

Buuuut this guy looks just as absorbed in the cartoon as a Silver should be, so she strolls in and leans on the back of the couch, pulling her glove off and reaching her hand out to Weavile. Surely, Weavile would recognize the scent, even if it's quite a bit more toxic-smelling.]

Hi, Silver. Whatcha watchin?

[tsuntrader]

[Hey, it's Y-

...

Silver, Silver, nudge nudge stop watching TV and pay attention we've got a problem-]

[typeless]

[The noise attracts her... it's robots. Robots are cool!

... But there's also some dude watching it by himself. She sticks next to the door and enjoys it from far enough away that she thinks she can't be seen.

Then again, most TVs are reflective.]

[tsuntrader]

[He's too glued to the television to respond or even notice, so he says nothing for some time.

Of course, once he finally notices that someone's there, he waves a hand to beckon them over without turning his head. No sense in standing around- it's even more enjoyable when seated and comfortable.]

[savedover]

[In the 139 hours, 27 minutes, and 43 (44, 45, 46, 47, 48...) seconds he's been awake, this has to be the most useless room that Silver has ever seen . It's a room solely for the purpose of watching childish cartoons about--

[... ...]

[Robots, piloted by Pokemon?]

... that's- stupid. [Silver might have hit a stretch of exhaustion where his head feels like it's stuffed with heavy, painful cotton, but he can still identify stupid when he sees it.]

[tsuntrader]

[Huh? He could have sworn that he heard someone saying that Proteam Omega isn't the greatest...

...Nah, must be his imagination. He stays glued to the television.]

[50shadesofprotag]

[Oh, huh. Cartoons! Giant robot cartoons!

Without even asking, Hilda plops down on the couch next to Silver, a big grin on her face as she joins in watching the show.]

[tsuntrader]

[He doesn't even flinch; he just has Weavile move over and pushes the popcorn in her direction.

Anyone who likes Proteam Omega can't possibly be bad (unless they also have a red R on them.)]

[goldenlyre]

[Oooh, red hair! That means Silver! Lyra has no problem with getting completely in the way, hands on her hips and a big ol' Meganium butt in the way too.]

Found another!

[tsuntrader]

[Oh man this episode is so awe...


some...]

[tidaldrum]

[Oh, Silver!

But a weavile? That's new. Alternatively, this is a different Silver. And judging by how intense he's staring at this... robot show... it's probably the latter.

Ethan watches him for a bit, then finds the remote and --

Click! Off it goes.]

Too much television's bad for you. [Ethan's feraligatr growls in agreement.]

[tsuntrader]

[YOU CAN DO IT PROTEAM OMEGA YOU CAN PERSEVERE THROUGH ANY--]

[spheheal]

[> A Spheal bounces into your bowl of popcorn...]

hehe

[tsuntrader]

[What the- huh?

...Oh. Oh.]

You're that Spheal Gold talked about, aren't you? [It's cool man, you can keep the popcorn.]

[legalteammom]

[It's kind of cute. Silver's taste in television, that is. Who knew the heir of Team Rocket would like a show about good guys beating up bad guys?

At least she'll have the courtesy of waiting for the show to be over before she starts bugging him.]

How long have you been in here?

[tsuntrader]

[-Crys! She's greeted by a bit of a smile, but it's interrupted by her question.]

...I'm not sure.

[mischiefbreeder]

[What's that sound Gold hears? It sounds familiar. And really annoying.

Gold leans over the back of the couch and--...oh god.

It's here.]

...Welp, there goes the one good thing about this place, I guess.

[Oh, oh it's Gold, time to tune him-]
