No, no, no, no, no, NO!

[Hello Johto, your friendly neighborhood wizard has decided to drop back in. Or rather has come back entirely against his will, which probably goes a long way towards explaining exactly why he’s so mad right now. Angry enough that he seems entirely oblivious to the Smoochum clinging to the top of his head and licking his hair happily.]

Dammit, I said I was ready! I was- you send me HERE? You’ve got a sick sense of humor, Uriel! You hear me? SICK! That woman who said- …that is NOT FUNNY.

[He lets out a frustrated snort, lacking someone he can properly blame.]

…Dammit. So apparently I’m back. A few minutes ago I didn’t remember that there was even a HERE to get back to, but I’m back. Probably not from outer space, unless the cosmology of the afterlife is worryingly Lovecraftian. And hell’s bells, now that song’s stuck in my head. Lemme just say that the timing on all this? NOT helping the paranoia that this is some kind of hell.

Smoo-chu!

Oh, and Lara’s still here.

[Harry hooks a thumb at the Smoochum acting as an impromptu hat. She grins happily, waving at the camera.]

Guess if this is all a massive hallucination, at least my psychoses are consistent. Me and Dorothy Gale.

[Oh hi Harry, it's your very favorite person in Johto! Who looks way too amused at your reaction to being back.]

Welcome back. It could be worse, you could not remember anything and have to start over entirely.

Oh. You.

[See this look, Envy? This is what you get. From Harry, anyway. Lara just kind of waves, happy to be out of her Pokeball again.]

Either way, someone's been messing with my head. I don't like it.

Yeah, me. You don't have to look so excited about it.

[Envy gets that look from people a lot...]

Johto is terrible about that, isn't it? Can't say I blame you for being pissed off.

_{[BARKING BARKING SO MUCH BARKING.]

[That's what this reply opens up with, because guess who remembers the guy who 'played' with him on the beach?! HELL YES CUJO REMEMBERS OMG HELLO.]

[And from offscreen, a disgruntled voice.]}

Christ, Cooj, shut up before you HURT yourself. What're you so excited about?

Oh dear... Quite a temper you have there.

Do I know you?

Sorry, knowing I can still count on your stellar advice just gets me all giddy.

[Oh god crazy dog-tiger thing what is this.]

Uh, hi. Are you-

[Yeah, Lara definitely remembers this particular Growlithe, clambering painfully over Harry's face and getting uncomfortably close to the camera.]

Wait, is that-?

I've always been better at the 'quick to anger' than the 'subtle' bit.

[He's calmed down just enough to make Tolkien references. Not having the person he blames on-hand helps a bit.]

...I thought I was DONE with this place.

Uh- don't think so, no.

[Probably. He's known way too many blondes.]

'Less you're some alternate-reality version of someone I know. Suppose that'd be possible here. ...Why do you ask?

[This is what you get for being more familiar with the movie, Harry.]

Well, I've never seen you before, but you mentioned me.

Well, I do give excellent advice.

By the way, I don't believe I ever actually got your name the last time you were here.

If I ever decide to switch hairstyles, I'll be sure to come to you.

[Not entirely sure he trusts Envy even with this. Names can do serious damage in the wrong hands.]

...Harry Dresden. You?

[Not like he'd be able to do much without a full name anyway. Even if there was someone here that still had access to magic.]

Envy.

[Equivalent exchange; you give him your real name, he'll give his unless there's a reason not to. Fortunately for Harry, there isn't any alchemy that having his name would help or hurt. Not that Envy can use alchemy himself anyway.]

And it wouldn't exactly be hard to improve the hairstyle you've got now.

I mentioned- ...oh.

[Here, have some of Harry's epic poker face. It's completely convincing and not at all obvious.]

... It's kind of a common name where I come from.

[Master of deception, he is.]

Envy? ...Your parents didn't like you very much, did they.

[Not touching the hair thing, though Lara does choose this moment to lick the top of his head, giving Harry a rather massive cow-lick.]

My mother does have a very interesting sense of humor.

[He does like his name, as awful as the reason it was given to him is. Much preferable to the human name he had before, the one he doesn't share with anyone.]

[He is going to snicker at Harry though.] See, your Pokemon has the right idea.

[At that, Harry almost asks about the obviously-crazy woman claiming to be his mother, but thinks better of it. That's definitely not something he wants to discuss with someone prone to Envy's particular brand of advice.]

Yeah, you do both seem to share a certain japanese-cartoon chique. With the spikey hair and all.

[Lara's hairstyling was going to be a one-off thing, but then Envy went and encouraged her. So now she's busily gumming Harry's hair into a shape to make the hair-gel industry weep for joy.]

_{[BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK]

[The 'Gear's giving a somewhat fuzzy view of the Growlithe turning in excited circles in the middle of a wooden floor, but then the screen jostles as its owner picks it up.]

[Buh?]

[... Ohhhh!]}

Oh heeeeey, I remember you.

Beach guy!

Oh. Hey.

[Recognition! And confirmation that there are people he remembers here who weren't jerks to one degree or another.]

Uh... I'd say 'beach girl', but that'd be way too easy to mishear.

[It actually, kinda works because someone is way to trusting.]

Is it really? That's really strange, that both my first and last name together is common.

Good point... not to mention it brings images of bikinis and beach volleyball to mind, and that's not really my thing.

_{[Don't worry Harry, if you talk to Heather enough on a regular basis, you'll learn she's got an inner jerk the size of Montana.]}

... So did you go home or something?

As I've seen, though I suppose no one can blame you.

You've been here before?

[Harry's got more of an inner jerk than he'd like to admit. For one thing, he's a lot better dressed than Harry himself.]

For a few days, yeah. Though this thing says it's been a couple months HERE.

Blah blah blah, Johto weird.

A couple months ago, yeah. Or a couple days ago. The gear-thing and my memories sort of disagree on it.

[Starting to sound annoyed again.]

Someone up there has a sick sense of humor.
