WHO: Yuuki, Alhathaim, and the app
WHERE: Alhathaim's basement apartment
WHEN: April 29thish
WHAT: Abasi al-Haytham thinks he can get away without an intro. Yuuki is a little shit.
WARNINGS: Two assholes?

[Once again, a video from Yuuki's account! Except this time he's not the important one here. Please enjoy this sparse as fuck tiny basement apartment and the tall, older man sitting at a desk with a Klefki nearby.]

He's not going to do it himself so I'm doing it for him, just so nobody can come back and say POKEGO was lying about how many people they've sent so far. [See, sensei? You're going to make liars out of everyone.] Abasi al-Haytham, but everyone just calls him Cactus. Trust me, it fits.

I’m going to be honest, I’m not particularly worried about PokeGo.

But it sounds like you just, what’s the term Zulius would use, “put your coworker on blast.” I must say, I am impressed.

[killerapp]

What's so impressive about it?

[poisontippedcure]

Well, not everyone would be willing to risk the ire of those you work with. I respect it.

[She doesn't like people.]

[killerapp]

He was my mentor in POKEPUPS. We've always been like this.

[poisontippedcure]

POKEPUPS? That's a rather interesting name.

[killerapp]

It's what they call the kid's program. I never figured out why.

[admonishinginstruction]

I see you're starting the weekend off in a way.

[Although he's not surprised.]

And not going back on any threats either.

[killerapp]

I'm literally in your kitchen getting tea, sensei.

[God.]

It was either I do it or I let Nachida do it.

[admonishinginstruction]

Nachida wouldn't do such a thing. They're a good Pokemon.

Unlike you.

[killerapp]

All I need to do to get Nachida to do me a favor is give them a new keychain. They love me.

[admonishinginstruction]

Don't remind me of the box of keychains in the closet.

Why did you have to introduce them to those things?

[killerapp]

Because they're a sentient keychain?

[Duh.]

[reenforces]

I can see all of the goodwill I've cultivated during my stay withering in real time.

[killerapp]

Eh, it's not your fault Sensei is like this.

[Yuuki he was also talking about you, child.]

[reenforces]

I was fine just letting him hole up for a while. I thought he'd come out eventually, but...

Cat's out of the bag now.

[killerapp]

He wouldn't have until it was something important. This just saves time.

[reenforces]

Right, well—you know him much better than I do, so I'll trust your judgment.

[What a mistake that is.]

This isn't actually here...

[admonishinginstruction]

[He's sitting in his home just looking at this conversation.

You've made Choices, Mikleo.]

neither is this

[reenforces]

[It's on, Abasi.]

[He might as well try to control what little narrative he's being given here, so here he is.]

As stated, my name is Abasi al-Haytham. Some of you may have seen me around the University, as I will be teaching a few classes there as an adjunct professor.

I'm not a very social person [duh] so please leave me out of any chaos you all have created.

(She sees someone using cactus for a codename, so he is getting her attention already.)

Oh hello there Professor al-Haytham. My name is Isabela Madrigal and I have been in Kaisou for a couple of months. So is your codename indeed Cactus? I have a big interest in these prickly plants for a long time.

[admonishinginstruction]

Ms. Madrigal, it is a pleasure.

[He's trying really hard to be nice...It takes a lot of energy.]

My real codename is Dracaena, but the nickname Cactus has also stuck around thanks to my coworkers.

[killerapp]

[Just off screen--]

You encourage it, sensei!

[admonishinginstruction]

[He just rolls his eyes.]

Yes, because most of my coworkers leave me alone!

[killerapp]

I'm just saying.

[admonishinginstruction]

[There's a tug at the headphones on his neck, flipping them around to be facing opposite where they had been before. Just enough to be annoying.]

It serves it's purpose.

[killerapp]

Shit--does it, though?

[Fixing his headphones you jerk.]

[senorita_perfecta]

It is very nice to meet you as well, Professor.

Ah I see, you got a different codename compared to the one they gave you. I wonder how your colleagues managed to give you the Cactus nickname in the first place.

[admonishinginstruction]

I think the term a former coworker used was that I'm a 'prickly bastard'. And it stuck.

[senorita_perfecta]

So it did stuck around for a long time after the ex coworker of yours called you by that term. I think that cactus does sound a lot catchier than prickly bastard.

I see! I also teach classes at the University. How nice to see a fellow co-worker! I am Toshinori Yagi.

[admonishinginstruction]

A pleasure.

What do you teach?

[peacesymbolism]

Several courses relating to paramedics. So it's more likely we shall see one another in the break room than anywhere else!
