[... Oh. Tobias happened to look at the date, and think back. It's... weird to think that he's been here so long, but he feels the need to reflect on it. He's not really a public person, but... there are things he has to say. So when he turns the video on, it's with him sitting on a couch with Regal's head on his lap.]

I didn't notice it earlier in the month, but I've been here a year. Kind of. I mean... I went home for a bit but I came back, so adding it all together I've spent a year here. It's... kind of weird here, still. Not that I'm a stranger to weird creatures, but it's... different. This place is nice, and with the exception of one of those teams starting trouble, it's peaceful here.

[He looks down to scratch Regal's head gently, before looking back at the camera.]

... There's a lot of people here that don't care who you are or where you came from, and I mean that in a good way. As long as you don't start trouble with people, people are usually nice. You could have been someone high ranking or you could have been the janitor or something, and it doesn't matter. I mean... I'm a bird most of the time at home, and people here don't seem to mind. People are friendly and nice and...

[He needs to stop that line of thinking, he's having an emotion.]

... I mean. ... There's a lot of great people here. And as far as I'm concerned... this place is more of a home than a lot of places I've been. So... I guess I just wanted to say thanks to people, even the people who aren't here anymore. And... here's to some more great years.

[He turns the camera to Regal, who squawks happily at the feed, before turning off the Pokegear.]

It's been great having you.

_{[It was nice to have more than one surreal text conversation buddy.]}

[That actually gets him to smile.]

It's been good being around you too, Henry.

[And at least his weird isn't the only weird around this place.]

Before you know it, you'll be on year two. They just start flying by.

How long have you been here?

Hm...it has to be three or four years now. I don't ever want to go back, to be perfectly honest.

Yeah I... know the feeling. It's... a lot nicer here. I miss my friends sometimes, but...

I understand...

_{[He catches himself wishing sometimes that his whole apartment complex, those who are left, could appear in this weird magical animal paradise.}

They still might show up?

[Maybe. Possibly.]

Any day. Any day at all.

_{[He manages a smile.]}

Yeah. It's... possible, at least.

So, going to do anything special? I wonder if people should make their arrival day like a birthday.

_{[Any excuse for cake really.]}

Maybe. I've actually been thinking of getting something made but I don't know who could make it... but it's a good excuse for this.

[Give him a sec to put the Pokegear down as he rustles through some papers and pulls out a drawing. It looks a little bit like a skydiving outfit, but with fabric between the arms and legs like a flying squirrel. There's also a loop on the back.]

Not just for the circus act, but I was thinking it would be cool to have something like this just for flying around. ... It's not perfect since it's not really wings, but Regal could hold me and I could fly.

_{[This was not cake. This was way cooler.]}

Oh, wow! Oh...

_{[He really misses his wings. Oh, no, that's so sad.]}

You should absolutely do it! I'll be the first one to cheer you on.

[He can't help but duck his head slightly and grin a bit.]

I just have to figure out where I can get someone to make it. I can't sew, and I don't know anything about materials. Maybe I'll ask around. I'm sure someone at the circus knows someone who can do something like that.

I don't know anything about sewing either...do you think your boss could find someone? That sounds amazing, he has to be on board with it.

He might. We've got costumes and stuff, so I'll ask.

Be sure to let us know when it happens. We don't leave town too often, but you never know.

Getting anywhere in Johto isn't too hard for me. With how many flying Pokemon I have I can get anywhere in about... two days at the most? Maybe three? So even if you leave town it shouldn't be too hard to find you.
