Revas and Klaus Brotime

08:40:06: <Klaus> So! Zzzzz Klaus is naptime. What do.
08:41:38: <Revas> Well, the one thing Revas can do. Be obnoxious and wake him up again, just like yesterday! Radio beeping or buzzing or whatever I guess.
08:42:58: <Klaus> "Mmmmrrmph. Laplace knock it the fuck off." There's a clang through the radio, as if the device on the other side just got punched off of a counter. "...Oh, s'not you." Some shuffling and footsteps are heard approaching the radio. "OY, whosit?"
08:44:10: <Revas> "Hey, Klaus. It's Revas."
08:44:48: <Revas> There's a little bit of music and chatter in the background. It's not nearly noisy enough to be Clodberg but he's definitely not in complete private or anything.
08:46:14: <Klaus> "Ohhey, you made it I'm guessing...Urmph, gimme a sec." A bit of indistinct muttering as Klaus wanders off and then the sound of water being sprayed. WARGLBLARGL "Alright then. You in Mirasol now?"
08:47:49: <Revas> "Yeah, I'm here. ...Also, you just waking up or something?"
08:48:48: <Klaus> "Oy, I hiked through the fucking night to get here. Clayton thought there'd be an attack or something. 'Spose he was wrong. Or it hasn't happened yet."
08:50:32: <Revas> "...Yeah. Why'd you go so fast, anyway? You'd just be dead tired if something did happen."
08:51:50: <Klaus> "Well, I had to do something if Criterion got there, even tired as I was. 'Sides, turns out I'm not bad at battling half-awake." He chuckles.
08:53:56: <Revas> "Oh. That's good, I guess... but where are you now? Staying at a hotel or something?"
08:54:44: <Klaus> "...Home, of course. Catching the folks up to speed on the situation and all."
08:56:35: <Revas> "Wh... oh. ...So that's why you were so anxious," Revas' voice goes a little quiet.
08:58:10: <Klaus> "Mmmm, yeah, thought I mentioned it. Mia, my sis, is the gym leader here. And the big pokemart in town? My folks run it. So..." Klaus pauses for a second. "if there's an attack here, not only would it be on my hometown but it's not unlikely they'd target my family directly."
08:59:15: <Revas> "...I see," Revas chews on his lip a little on his end. He's gone quiet.
09:00:23: Klaus cuts the silence short. "Well, they know now, and we're working on countermeasures, so there's no use worrying. How are things on your end?"
09:02:40: <Revas> "Alright. We made it over with my brother and Clayton... and Lewys and Ephraim and an extra hitchhiker or two, but yeah. ...Sorry, I should've been here sooner."
09:04:09: <Klaus> (did Revas mention before that his sister went missing?)
09:10:45: <Revas> (I don't think he did)
09:11:36: <Klaus> "It's no problem at all. The others came to visit me already, guess they ran into my father trying to find the gym. In fact, s'probably better you're here later and awake, so there's someone more to keep an eye out if shit goes south."
09:11:46: <Klaus> *someone more lucid
09:12:38: <Revas> "Ah, I see..." Revas sighs. "Man, all of them? I know I got a little distracted, but..." he sighs about something or other.
09:14:49: <Klaus> "Mmmm, something wrong? Lost another poker tournament?"
09:15:09: <Klaus> (Klaus has graduated from pants jokes :O)
09:15:22: <Revas> (gasp)
09:15:43: <Revas> "...I could deal with that a lot better," Revas grumbles a bit.
09:16:04: <Klaus> "Ah, sorry, wrong time for jokes, huh?"
09:16:52: <Revas> "No, I need to keep my spirit up somehow," Revas shakes his head. "Yesterday was just... a rollercoaster."
09:18:00: <Klaus> "Tell me about it." There's a whumpf sound, presumably Klaus falling back onto his bed. "Haven't been able to catch a break from this cycle of shit since we left Ramtaban."
09:19:01: <Revas> "...My sister disappeared during the attack. Like, just... poof, into thin air," it takes a moment to identify the next sound as someone drinking... something. With it being Revas, god only knows what.
09:21:09: <Klaus> "Oh fuck dude, I'm sorry. Just lost her in the crowd or what? I didn't see her at the pokemon center myself or anything, but I was in a damn hurry..."
09:25:41: <Revas> "No. I mean, literally... she just... fucking faded out, like she was getting pulled away somewhere or... damnit I don't even know."
09:26:12: <Klaus> "...Karin. The...psychic of the Criterion. Lewys told me something similar happened with Lexi."
09:26:47: <Revas> "..." a bit of silence, and then another swig. "You've... you've got to be kidding me."
09:27:50: <Klaus> "No, I kid you not. Clayton was furious. Just...fucking warped her out like some scifi flick."
09:29:09: <Revas> "Tch... that's... FUCK!" Revas gets very, very loud suddenly. And excepting whatever little background tune is playing where he is, everything else got really quiet.
09:30:31: <Klaus> "...Where are you now? Listen, we chased what leads we could, caught a few Criterion bastards in a van on the way here, but the interrogation has been less than fruitful as I understand it."
09:32:18: <Revas> "I, uh... I needed to stop for lunch. Klaus... give me anything and everything you've got. I can't... I can't let them have her. Oh gods I've probably already fucked up..."
09:34:35: <Klaus> "Understood. Sel'si and Triton caught the bastards, so you're best off talking to them. Of them, Triton was left to oversee them. If he's not in town by now you can come by and borrow Sierpinski to hitch a ride. What else...well, you know that Karin is a psychic, but I don't know what kind of countermeasures to those powers are possible."
09:37:26: <Revas> "She can be as psychic as she wants," Revas sounds rather venomous. "If she's hurt my sister..."
09:38:29: <Klaus> "I feel you buddy, but we've got to track her down first. Either that or lure her into a trap. I...can't say how to accomplish either of those though. Not without knowing just what the everliving fuck they're actually after..."
09:40:46: <Revas> "I don't know either, but... whatever. I'll figure it out."
09:43:51: <Klaus> "I...wish you the best of luck, and I'm sorry there's not much more I can offer right now. If you need to do any deep searches online for info, you can ask Babbage. Just come by." Klaus then recites the address to his home. "Just let whoever answers know that I told you to come by."
09:44:52: <Revas> "Yeah, alright. Assuming I can't track her down with my usual network, knowing what's going on now..." he sighs a little, some of the energy seeming to go out of him.
09:48:43: <Klaus> "...Hey, chin up buddy. We're gonna make it through this, stop this shitshow of a terrorist plot. S'just a matter of time before they fuck up in a big way. Then we'll get 'em."
09:52:51: <Revas> "Yeah. Yeah, I know," he's getting the feeling he's said those words... quite a few times recently. "Hey, uh... you be careful too, okay? Keep an eye on your family."
09:53:25: <Klaus> "That's what I'm here to do."
09:55:25: <Revas> "Yeah... I know. Ah, don't worry about it... I should get going here."
09:56:43: <Klaus> "You do that. I'll..." Klaus clearly yawns at this point. "I'll hold down the fort here. If I learn anything new, I'll be sure to pass it on." There's a bit of a pause. "Revas?"
09:56:57: <Revas> "...Yeah, Klaus?"
09:58:30: <Klaus> "I...just want you to know you're not alone. I know you feel with this bullshit. It's...maddening sometimes, dealing with tagalongs like Jarold who just want to play hero. I do my best to watch over everyone because we're all survivors of that hellhole, but...Sometimes it's like no one else really has a personal investment in this bullshit but us, and...oh what am I saying. just...good luck."
10:00:02: <Revas> "...." a good amount of silence, then, "...Thanks."
