[When the feed starts, Gundam's holding the Soul Badge up to the camera...and wearing one of those scarves Chihiro was offering a week ago.]
Such a confounding challenge. Though I suppose I should have expected as match from the toxic terrors lurking within the Gym's walls.
[He might've had some problems with the invisible walls. Apparently his so called All Seeing Eye didn't really do him much good there.]
Next, I shall prepare for challenging the precognitive powers of the Saffron City Gym. It seems that even I, Gundam Tanaka, the Supreme Overlord of Ice, can become a creature of routine now that our ominous October is at an end.
[...it was probably a lot worse than ominous, but ominous October sounds cool and spooky doesn't it?]
What I would like an answer to is thus, has the same happened to the rest of you, or do you still tremble in fear at the otherworldly forces that transformed this world?
[He probably could've picked a less intimidating way to ask that, but then well, he wouldn't be Gundam, would he?]

Tanaka-kun, congratulations on your badge win! My prediction is you'll bulldoze the next gym with no trouble at all.

[video]
Date: 2015-11-20 07:02 am (UTC)From:[Sorry, Gundam, this is what comes from associating with the real deal guardian of the dead.]
Unfortunately the chaotic destruction and violent monsters were familiar too. I can't say it's all a good sort of nostalgia.

Date: 2015-11-20 09:01 pm (UTC)From:[That makes sense. He could say the same in that he ended up part Houndour which is evil and dark looking except for the part where it's really not at all.]
The rest is unfortunate to hear, though I would hope it was nothing like the calamity in this world.

Date: 2015-11-20 09:24 pm (UTC)From:In other words, it's perfectly him.]
Mm.
[Her mouth twitches up into a smile that appears more like a grimace.]
Tanaka-kun, let's just say our "Ominous October" could have been a whole netherworld's worth worse than what it was and leave it there. [She would say "pure hell" but...Botan doesn't really swear.] I'll be working on things for the winter menu this month, what sorts of things do you like to eat in winter?

Date: 2015-11-21 10:06 pm (UTC)From:I might not be the right person to ask about such ordinary topics.
[He has his reasons.]
[video]
Date: 2015-11-21 10:46 pm (UTC)From:Even guides to the afterlife like myself eat, it keeps up our spirit energy.
[She likes ordinary topics. It's refreshing after 800+ years of weirdness.]
Besides, you're my friend, of course you're the right kind of person to ask. What if one of my little ones wanted to make a treat for you? [Meaning her group of Phantump.] I surely couldn't tell them "Tanaka-kun didn't want to answer that" if they ask.
[video]
Date: 2015-11-23 03:39 am (UTC)From:I...I am sure that whatever they create will be fine. It's merely that due to my cursed upbringing, I was never really able to acquire much of an opinion when it comes to these things.
[Look Botan, you try his mother's allegedly poisonous cooking and then try and explain what things you like other than “not that.”]
[video]
Date: 2015-11-23 04:03 am (UTC)From:Oh for goodness sake, so you don't have a lot of experience with different varieties of food? Why didn't you just say that in the first place, I would have understood it more than "ordinary topics don't suit me."
[Well, at least then Gundam would know that even the reaper can, indeed, die.]
But at least you're not picky, in that case. [She directs the camera over to a Charizard that...seems to be showing a Phantump how to roll dough.] Shouen can teach them to make cinnamon rolls first, they're his specialty.
[video]
Date: 2015-11-24 06:25 am (UTC)From:And he may be trying to hide the fact that he is basically going d'aww at the sight by hiding in his scarf.]
I believe something like that would be acceptable even to my demonic palate.
[video]
Date: 2015-11-25 07:47 pm (UTC)From:Lovely, then I'll send a batch ahead to--was it Saffron next? Anyway, it'll be ready and waiting by the time you get there.
[Don't ask her how she knows, it's mysterious Botan Things, clearly.]
By the way, is that a new scarf, Tanaka-kun? It's [cute] nice.
[video]
Date: 2015-11-26 06:44 am (UTC)From:[He has a hard time saying that because having friends are weird. Also because he's unsettled because HOW DID SHE KNOW?!]
[video]
Date: 2015-11-26 04:20 pm (UTC)From:Aww, that's sweet. [Yes. It's sweet, she thinks it's sweet that Gundam has good friends that give him janky scarves. The smile is both genuine and a silent challenge of "try to argue with that, I dare you."] Well then, I'd better remember for the record to probably not get you a scarf for Christmas, I don't think I can compete with something that's clearly handmade.

Date: 2015-11-28 03:33 am (UTC)From:[He figures he'd better clarify so he doesn't sound like a jerk.]
[video]
Date: 2015-11-29 03:52 am (UTC)From:Naturally, besides--I always make sure that my gifts are 100% from me, I don't copy other peoples' ideas. And unfortunately, while I'm good at making sweets, I'm totally hopeless with more refined activities like knitting. [And sewing outside of quick fixes to her kimono.]
[video]
Date: 2015-11-30 10:57 pm (UTC)From:To think that death herself would concern herself with such things. The world truly is full of inexplicable mysteries.
[video]
Date: 2015-12-01 09:38 pm (UTC)From:[She has an abundant amount of feelings.]

Date: 2015-12-04 05:54 pm (UTC)From:[...]
We don't...we don't encourage that activity in the Spirit World.

Date: 2015-12-05 03:13 am (UTC)From:[And it's pretty bad when Botan is the one judging somebody as flighty.]
It's bad customer service, anyway, not only does it put undue distress on a person, but we're not allowed to fraternize with humans in that manner anyway. Unfortunately not a lot of people apply to be guides to the afterlife, so we have to take what we can get.
[...Ahem.]
We're not "creatures," Tanaka-kun. I look just as adorably charming in the Spirit World as I do right now.
[video]
Date: 2015-12-05 03:43 am (UTC)From:[Sorry, he can't hear you over the fact that this whole thing is just bizarre.]
[video]
Date: 2015-12-05 03:46 am (UTC)From:[The afterlife is a bureaucracy, the truth hurts.]
Do you need a moment?
