[ Red hadn't exactly made a note of everyone that had taken Thras's challenge, and unlike most of those left on Verens he hadn't taken to watching the water-screens left behind by the arehtei to witness the trials that the otherworlders had to go through.
All he knew that there were faces he hadn't seen for a while, and what came after once the challenge had been met with success--apparently. Both for those elsewhere and Verens, and it took him a day to hear that people were finally able to make contact between the two cities to others, though only while being next to the magical flowing water.
Moods were...stable, if for now, and it was probably best to try this while he felt at least a little comfortable being near one of the bigger sources of the tense emotions in the city before anything else cropped up. It still clung to his shoulders, but he waited--just to make sure that it didn't come through to some degree when he tried calling to Silver by the amulet. ]
Silver?

Silver?
[Silver had been more than content to throw himself directly from the challenge to training; the benefits of controlling his emotions like this are just too good to ignore.
But hearing someone contact him is a good reason to stop, and he takes a break to hear his voice called, and it sounds like it's from-]
Red? Is that you?

[This is just a normal day. A normal day of making lunch and hanging out in the house with Silver! Which, thankfully, it's gotten much less awkward lately. At least on his end. The dust has settled and he's a new man.
Tomato sandwiches were the popular dish of the day, a thin layer of mayo, a pinch of salt... Okay listen, Ludger likes a lot of tomato dishes and this one is no different. He'll sit the plate down in front of Silver, cut diagonally, and ready to be eaten.]
Here you go, Silver.

Here you go, Silver.
[Ludger's food is always good, and his sandwiches are no different.
Silver nods and quickly thanks him for the food; half of that sandwich is gone in seconds. The second half he'll eat more like a sane person, but... Something occurs to him before he takes another bite.]
Hey, Ludger? Can I ask you something?

[White's learned a valuable lesson about Silver's house situation:
It's usually "busy" with "something" that includes things a young woman like herself should not see. So indecent. It's nice to know their relationship is healthy though.
So she's gonna just. Call him. Yes. Besides, she's out and already knows what she wants to pick out for a few of her friends, but for Silver... It's a toughie.]
Hey, Silver, what do you want for a present? I know I should keep it secret and all, but I want you to actually like what you get.

[Silver is just minding his own business, doing his Silver thing, and then White... Asks him what he wants for a present?-]
I didn't tell you my birthday was coming up, did I? How did you...
I didn't tell you my birthday was coming up, did I? How did you...
[ Hum hum amuletphone. ]
Hey Silver, do you have a minute? I wanted to ask for something. It's going to sound weird, but... your friend, his name was Gold, right?
Hey Silver, do you have a minute? I wanted to ask for something. It's going to sound weird, but... your friend, his name was Gold, right?
...Yeah. Why do you ask?
[Gold... He really misses Gold these days, but- there's no time to be upset. He just has to keep trucking along and moving forward.]

[When in doubt, or in Komaeda's case super conflict - turn to a friend.]
Um, Silver are you busy? I can call back later if you are. [He'd rather not talk about the whole issue at all but, that won't help a damn thing.]

[Well, he is working at from the hearth, but he can serve people and talk at the same time.]
What's up, Nagito?
What's up, Nagito?
[Door to door has always been her forte, and it's very purposefully that White's gone to the household of Milla, Ludger, and Silver. Any one of them would do for this.
(It's just so happen she's gonna get her bestie. Kind of bestie.)
Knock knock, Silver!]

[Well, he'd be lying if he said he hadn't heard that...whatnot Silver broadcasted to everyone the day before; he's far from offended by any of it, and if anything he's curious.]
...I have to admit I'm curious about whether or not Uryuu-san tried very hard in your general direction yesterday.

[Tsukiyama! ...He's a lot less made of determination and fighting spirit today, at least- the most prevalent thing out of the crystal is that warm caring concerned feeling.]
He tried his best.
He tried his best.
[He's waited a bit to contact Silver about this; Tsukiyama's been decidedly less broken lately, but at the same time he's still not the greatest at dealing with upset people. So. He'll give Silver some time to calm down before he pings him over the crystal.]
Is this a bad time, Silver-kun?
Is this a bad time, Silver-kun?
[Silver's had plenty of time to be frustrated and start to cool off, and, well, he's always here to talk to Tsukiyama. Tsukiyama's a welcome change of pace, in fact.]
No, it's not. What's up?
No, it's not. What's up?
[Silver could surely use the distraction, and what kind of friend would White be if she didn't offer one?
... Like, damn dude. Centipedes. Milly was adorbs. Why would anyone want to blow her up.
Everything's already set up here at FeelGood's afterhours, so... she'll just hit him up telepathically, yup.]
Silver, I know I owe you a lot of favors, but can I ask you for one more?

Silver, I know I owe you a lot of favors, but can I ask you for one more?
[...Well, that's definitely not what he expected over the crystals today.]
Sure. What do you need?
Sure. What do you need?
Heeeey, Silver. I've got a quick question for you, if you've got a moment.
[Ryuunosuke's actually getting some emotion across the crystal today, though it seems... nervous, almost? Maybe? It's kind of hard to tell.]

[...Well, something's bothering him. What's going on?]
Sure, Ryuunosuke. What's up?
Sure, Ryuunosuke. What's up?
[It'll be after training, seeing as her arm's better and she just needs to focus on exercises to keep it strong after having it in a cast for a While, that White just kinda
decides to straight Silver's hair the best she can and measure it with her hands. No words. Just action.]

[...Okay, he knows his hair is generally considered pretty, but this is a bit much? Or maybe it isn't? They're pretty close friends...
...No, this is definitely weird.]
White, what are you doing?
...No, this is definitely weird.]
White, what are you doing?
[... It hadn't been anything White wanted to come out about the first day, sure she could handle her sudden lonesomeness on her own, but on the second day there's the most hesitant poke in the world, Silver, and an odd question to boot:]
How long can someone be without their crystal?
[It's nice that her mental voice can be more steady than her vocal one is, but there's a tightness instead.]

[It's nice that her mental voice can be more steady than her vocal one is, but there's a tightness instead.]
[Well. That's not even remotely a question he expected.]
...A while. More than long enough to get a new one if something happens to yours.
Did something happen to your crystal?
...A while. More than long enough to get a new one if something happens to yours.
Did something happen to your crystal?
[Hope you're not busy, Silver.
... Well, even if you were, you're getting taken by the better arm with his better arm and dragging out, Pibu peering out of Gold's hoodie with a wave. Hi Silver.]
We gotta talk.

We gotta talk.
[Hi Pibu!
Silver has absolutely no idea what this is about and it shows all over his face, but he lets Gold lead him out anyway.]
Sure. What is it?

[Hopefully you're not too busy, Silver, you're getting pinged at some point this afternoon.]
Hey, kid. I don't suppose you've got a second.
Hey, kid. I don't suppose you've got a second.
[...Oh. It's Kimbley.]
As long as it's nothing too startling, because I'm balancing six dishes right now.
[What's up, dude?]

Silver-kun, you might want to avoid a certain part of the woods today.
[Well, good evening to you too, Tsukiyama; at least he's courteous enough to provide a mental map of the area in question.]
[Well, good evening to you too, Tsukiyama; at least he's courteous enough to provide a mental map of the area in question.]
[Good... evening, Tsukiyama, he knows what that means.]
Thanks. I'll steer clear of it.
[...But you know, he really has to wonder...]
How do you get so many people to follow you into the woods?
Thanks. I'll steer clear of it.
[...But you know, he really has to wonder...]
How do you get so many people to follow you into the woods?
[Today, White and Silver are doing something very important.
The dreary mutedness of the city is at an all-time contrast with the slight shimmering glow White's giving off, the flowers her steps leave behind, and honestly everything looks so much cooler with the candles people are using to light their stores with the electricity out.]
I've told pretty much everyone I know to buy him books, so I want to get him something different -- and I don't think he's appreciate the gift I had in mind a few months ago. Maybe a pocket watch?

It sounds nice. I was thinking of getting him clothes, myself.
[Said the guy that wears the same fucking thing whenever he's not working.]

Silver.
[It's just that one word but there's the whisper of a thousand different emotions behind it. He had talked to Sonia before but, left to mull it all over he's just.
Lost.]
I'm terribly sorry to bother you like this. But I couldn't wait until the usual time I see you to talk. I...just.
[Pain. It's like a live wire in the background and his words too fast, almost running over each other.]
I just don't know what to do.

What happened?
[Sure he could say he's not bothering him at all- because he isn't- or all sorts of other things, but this sounds urgent and he'd rather get straight to the point.]

[Ryuunosuke actually waits until a decent hour of the day to contact Silver and when he does, he sounds sort of thoughtful. There's a bit of appreciation coming over the crystal as well, so that's better than the usual nothingness.]
Heeeeeeey, Silver. I've got a question for you!
Heeeeeeey, Silver. I've got a question for you!
[You know, there are times when Silver is grateful for telepathic crystals instead of something logical like a Pokégear. And "in the middle of messing around in the lake with his Pokémon" is definitely one of those times. He's thoroughly soaked, and he doesn't bother to tell Feraligatr to slow down as he answers.]
Sure. What kind of question?
[It might be a little better to ask what kind of question before agreeing to hear it, Silver-]

[It might be a little better to ask what kind of question before agreeing to hear it, Silver-]
[It's a long time coming, in her opinion, especially with having been friends for a year. This is like, the longest time she's had friends since the Great Collapse! It's important, and... well, she feels bad about always bringing bad news to Silver, in the worst of ways at the worst of times, so White's gonna do her best to... not do that. Any of that.
She'll send him a message later in the day (nearing night more) to meet her at his favorite spot in the forest, since he's shown her once it and all, and there's something a little unusual on the way there: adorable little orbs of light lighting the way! So nice.
White's just hanging out in a tree, holding a small basket with different flowers and something tucked in the center of them, and she'll wave at Silver (and Weavile, who's probably come with him), surrounded by those pretty orbs.]
Sorry to call you out so late, but these don't work that well during the day.

[You know, he's not really sure why White dragged him out this late at night, but the orbs of light are a nice touch. Weavile jumps to paw at one of them, and Silver can't help but brushing his fingers through one of them himself, just to see if it disappears or stays the same.
Really, he should have expected White to be surrounded with them, but that's not the first way to describe it that comes to mind. She's glowing. Shining. It's like a spotlight is right on her, and... It's a little embarrassing, really, so he takes a moment to awkwardly grab the back of his neck while Weavile scurries to White's side.]
You've gotten a lot better at dunamis.
[...Smooth, Silver.]

[They have both heard that whole "going down to the world and reviving it" thing, surely they have, but that doesn't stop Gold from busting into Silver's room to shout about it. Hell if he's not there!!! Everyone will know!!!]
We're goin'! We're goin' and we're gonna revive the world or some shit! You with me, Silver?!
[Then they'll be heroes and it'll be awesome and Gold'll get a key to the city or something. Maybe a statue or three. A bunch of people wanting to be around him and all the attention he could ever want!!]

[Ah yes, he's finally home, he can just brush the entirely ridiculous amount of overgrowth in his room and relax on his bed- or maybe not. Maybe Gold's going to bust in and get really excited and talk just a little too fast.]
I- sure. ...Where are we going?
[To revive the world? Does he know something he doesn't?]
I- sure. ...Where are we going?

[It doesn't matter if they only spoke once. If Bianca is aware of other Trainers in the island, that's enough for her. So wherever Silver may be at the moment, he'll be visited by Bianca's new mechanical owl. It brings him a paper bag with some berries in it, and a note attached. Enjoy~]
[The ping over the crystal will come at a point when Silver's not at work today - not as though Tsukiyama has memorized his schedule like an absolute creep or anything, of course not - and it seems cheerful enough. Perhaps a bit too cheerful? Maybe a bit too cheerful. God only knows why.]
Silver-kun! I've got a favor to ask of you, if you wouldn't mind...ah, it's nothing urgent, just help with a personal project.

[There's no such thing as Tsukiyama being too cheerful. ...Probably. Either way, nothing seems off enough for him to mention it- maybe he and Ryuunosuke had a nice date or something?- and it's a lot more pressing to help Tsukiyama with whatever he needs help with anyway.]
Sure. What is it?
[Surely Tsukiyama wouldn't subject him to anything too bizarre or potentially life-threatening. You know, besides training.]

[KNOCK KNOCK BITCH no, there's no knocking, who the fuck you think he is??? Pibu, who's sitting on his head, will give a cheerful wave when Gold busts in though. hi silver. please don't be doing anything important]
Yo, buddy! Mr. Evolving Expert! You got some time to spare for your best friend in the whole wide multiverse?

[I mean, he's drying his hair with a towel and at least has boxers on, but he doesn't skip a beat when Gold comes in.]
Sure. What do you need?
[...Evolving is his sister's specialty, but it's not like he doesn't know plenty about evolution to potentially help out. ...Is this about Pibu?]

| [Hello, From the Hearth. Sigrun's not coming here for a decently price meal. She's coming here to stand on her tip toes (and she's already so tall, there's no reason to do that) and look out for Silver, and the minute she does she's pointing with her good hand with a grin so wide and bright, you'd think there'd be a sun behind her! ... There isn't! There's nothing much, actually, but there's a few falling stars every now and then.] Redhead! I've got a friend now, so let's fight! |
[...This is the crazy lady, isn't it. The one that wanted to fight his Pokémon. And he knows what she's saying- it's not all that surprising that she went and found herself some monster in the woods to befriend, although hopefully it wasn't just for something like this.]
Unfortunately, we don't battle with our meals here at From the Hearth.
