First things first, what asshole thought, 'hm I don't think making turkeys are confusing enough. I'm going to put a BAG on it like I'm covering up a grisly murder scene'. I'm dying to know what went through their head. They went as far as to label the bag 'fool proof'.

[The blond teenager talking makes finger quotes with his fingers as he continues on.]

I think they should have named it, 'screwing with you'. That stupid thing does nothing and apparently you're supposed to slit it up the sides anyway?? How is that a bag?? That's a cover not a plastic all encompassing container for your meat.

And those instructions.

[He jabs a finger at the screen this time and his aviator shades fall down his nose. He pushes them up and yes, yes he's not done.]

What's wrong with, okay so the bird is bigger than the neighbor's dog. You need to roast your fowl in the hot box for X hours. No, no, they have to complicate that too.

[He picks up those handy instructions anyone gets with a large turkey and waves them at the gear.]

We suggest you add 30 minutes per pound to the cooking time. As if that is going to make sense to all of us. I mean, about about those people who are shit at math. Or the ovens built entirely differently.

And check the warnings you find every time. [He thwacks the booklet with a sharp pop with the back of his hand.] 'Do not drop frozen turkey on you or your pets.' Who is stupid enough not to just dethaw it in a clean tub on the floor. Or in the sink, you know, away from anything critter or human??

[He grumbles and moves to shut the gear off then pauses.] Oh right.

So the sky opened up and acted like it was doomsday with wind. We all know that. But if you ran across a nerd who talks a lot about ghosts and may or may not have an omanyte with him that beelines for porcelain thrones or bathtubs, tell him to call home already.

If he ran off already. I dunno, tell me and I'll add it to the kicks to his shin when I find him.

And he hasn't come back yet, hm? If his 'gear is still available maybe he's resting in a Pokecenter.

[While equally as strange to the numerous warning labels, at least there was never any real harm that could come to someone here. Worst case scenario would be either one of those strange comas or a return back home, injury just meant time with the Joys.

Also he assumes Dave has probably already looked in the first few obvious places but he's trying to help anyway.]

Been a strange few days though, weather aside. The last time this happened one of my students ended up in a cave with no real way to communicate... [that probably isn't helping] but I hope you hear from your friend sooner rather than later.

[moveslikestrider]

He's probably in the middle of nowhere and trying to find his way back. He's pretty hard to kill off so I'm not...worried. [His shoulders are still tense and he frowns a bit. Dave's lying. He's concerned because John Egbert and trouble are besties.

If there's anything homicidal for miles it will find John.]

We found his gear on the kitchen counter when we woke up with that sense of missing time. I vaguely remember things like hitting a salad bar. It's all fuzzy.

[aflashoffaith]

[None of that sounds particularly promising.]

What's he look like? We'll keep an eye out.

[Though if he was going out tornado chasing the hell sense did it make to leave his 'gear at home 8|]

[moveslikestrider]

Square glasses, like this. [He makes the shape of the glasses with his fingers over his eyes.] His hair is black and almost looks kinda like, [He messes the hell out of his hair. Only for John.]

Blue eyes, pretty muscular, and has buck teeth that you just can't miss.

Mention ghosts to him if anyone fits that bill. If they go on for hours, that's John.

[He helpfully makes the buck tooth look with the help of the candy corn he'd been munching a bowl of.]

[aflashoffaith]

I see. He shouldn't be too hard to identify, then.

[He's too polite to actually laugh but the visual aids are still amusing. Messy hair, square glasses, candy buck teeth. Check.]

I'm Minato, by the way.

I swear I tagged this back

[moveslikestrider]

Name's Dave. Yeah John is really easy to id. [He pulls off his shades so he can tame his hair back in order. All messy it looks more bird-like that he already did.] ...you mentioned students. Who are they?

no worries, im out with the flu lol

[aflashoffaith]

I- ah.

[Right right. The part about getting stuck in a cave.]

Obito and Kakashi. Rin was here with us for a time too but she... went back home a few months ago.

[Not entirely true but. That's not polite conversation.]

You know them? I know Obito does his fair share of talking over the 'gear- [understatement] but Kakashi just arrived not too long ago.

doing any better?

[moveslikestrider]

Obito. Uh, is his starter a flaming pony. Wait, probably a prancing unicorn now.

Rin sounds familiar too. [Dave taps his chin.] Might have talked to her once.
