Level 2 - Video/Text for Violet City; 5/24

[The most immediately obvious thing is that Soos' Pokégear has been dropped on the ground. The video is an oddly-angled worm's eye view of Soos himself, sitting back against a tree, looking odder than usual.]

[As Soos sits there doing nothing in particular, a Slowpoke inches its way into frame; it's progress slower than usual because it's somehow managed to get its own tail into its mouth, gumming at the tip with each step.]

[It... takes a while for the Slowpoke to reach the Gear, if anyone actually bothers watching the entire broadcast. But a minute or so after it does, the video clicks off.]

[The text that follows shortly after comes thoughtfully and (shockingly) slowly, word by word, letter by letter.]

hey dawgs

so is anyone else not themselves today

cause this is pretty sweet

but if it's just me i'm thinking maybe it's time to start worrying a little

[A long, long pause between that and Soos' next text.]

cause last time this happened this hillbilly scientist dude tried eating me
