How long has it been?" Complains Abaddon, as he looks at his quest list. Staring at it with a blank face and a frown. "Ugh... Great." All that time he spent away from the game because of real-life shit. And he comes back to see he didn't even finish the first damned quest of the tutorial! ~~[LEARN YOUR ORIGINS FROM YOUR [MOM] TO OBTAIN YOUR RUNNING SHOES]~~ "Fuck off!" He growled, closing the quest screen before looking down to see the NPC's bright eyes that made him balk and recoil for a second. "What the hell?!" She frowned crossing her arms as she looked up at him. He looked a bit nervous. Seeing a bunch of pixels look at him so strikingly made him feel a bit unsettled... "Language!" Crossing his arms he looked away trying to hide his awkwardness. "R-Right..." He wondered if she... it even remembered him? Did time work the same for AI? He let out a frustrated sigh as he moved away, sitting down at the house's table. "Hey... Mom? Mind tellin' how ya... uh... got me?" This seemed to initiate the requirements to move the quest forward. Much to his relief. But as soon as she began to talk an interruption happened in the form of someone walking into the house... Causing Abaddon to growl annoyed. "Dude what the hell?!" "Abaddon! Language!" He sighed and sat down before staring at the newcomer as realization hit him. He vaguely remembered this dude from his first time playing! What's his name again...? Jake? John...? "Josh Devlin!" Oh, it's wonderful to see you again!" He heard the NPC 'Mom' state as it clicked. Right... Now he remembered! "It's you again..." The teenager huffed before focusing on the NPC. "Anyways, lady- er... 'Mom', about that stupid backstory sh....stuff?" He quickly corrected himself deciding to play nice and tone down his cursing for a bit. "yeah, about Dad or whatever..." He asked, glancing at Josh with a grumpy expression. God, he'd love to be anywhere BUT here!

As he dismounted from Luna, Mirage the Nincada perched on his head, Josh heard a familiar voice with quite the potty mouth. It was Abaddon . "Hey! I'm surprised you recognized me after the trip to the Identity Parlor," Josh greeted his ~~MOM~~, who distracted by the saddled Pidgeotto and embracing the flying-type. "You look like you've gone back in time! Can you teach me how to be fifteen years younger? I'd love to put off this getting old thing," Josh's mother teased. "Dad saw your performance at the Asper Cup. He wanted to congratulate you on your second place finish." The young boy had zoned out, his eyes shifting toward Abaddon. He wanted to greet the man, but couldn't bring himself to do it. It seemed like he was quite distressed, and didn't want to inquire why in front of family.

"Mom... About my Dad?" He urges her to talk to him more so that he can get this quest over with. He had places to be and things to do! And loafing about in the tutorial, was NOT it! "Oh! Of course, Abaddon! Well... Your Dad was a bit of a thug..." She began which had him look rather blankly at her. "What?" He questioned flatly before glancing at Josh Devlin incredulously as though asking if this was normal. "But he was a strong and protective man. He gave you to me when you were little! You even had the same tattoos! I of course scolded him for giving you tattoos but he waved my concerns off..." She sighed but it didn't sound too upset. "....C-Cool..." Abaddon replied, unsure what to say. Looking at Josh I tried to break the awkwardness by asking him about his 'Dad'. "What about you, Josh? Was your's as ... er... dangerous as mine?" He asked curious if every player got weird ass backstories?

Oh, no. The life of crime was one of the most abhorrent lives one could live, at least from Josh's perspective. Though the racer looked shaken, he kept his comments to himself. He didn't want to trigger any adverse reactions from his partner, who already looked stressed. "Since my mom's out back, probably playing with my Pokémon, I'll have to tell you myself," the child sighed. "My dad's the commissioner of UNOVR's Pokémon Racing Federation. He works long hours and even lives on their campus grounds. I never get to see him. The only times I even get to hear about him are through MOM." Getting up from the sofa, Josh checked to see if she was okay. She presumably was, for he could hear Luna's meows. Taking a peek out the window, he could see her scratching the Liepard behind the ears. "She... might be a while."

Really?!" The teen exclaims incredulously. "That's so cool!" He expressed before frowning and pouting a bit. Which was amusing to see from an adult avatar standing over six feet tall. "Why the hell did my Dad get some criminal backstory?" Maybe it was the tattoos? Did the AI assume due to his features? "Man... I feel this shit is rigged... That's-" He sighs, frowning looking at his feet. "Way too close to home dammit..." He muttered the last part before deciding to look at his quest list. "Eh, when is 'Mom' coming back? I really wanna get these damn running shoes... This quest is boring, anyway. I just wanna get the good stuff!" He complained loudly. "Backtracking to do the stupid tutorial was a mistake... Bah... whatever..." He turned his attention to Josh Devlin. "How're your adventures in UNOVR goin' catch anything cool?"

It was a red flag not to try to reach out to him outside the game. Within the game, though, there was no reason they couldn't be friends, right? It seemed Abaddon was impatient, wanting to simply get his ~~RUNNING SHOES~~ and leave. Josh didn't blame him; some weren't interested in the story. The young child, though, was... and the whiny player seemed more interested in Josh's story than his parents' stories. "Wonderful, actually! I've got a couple of Zapdos I'm raising from eggs." He procured both of them from his inventory, the two yellow-and-black striped eggs motionless. It seemed they were a ways from hatching. "Thunder and Storm, say hi to Abaddon!" he spoke to the eggs as though they were young Pokémon. By now, ~~MOM~~ still had not returned. "She's taking an awful long time. I can head out to the back yard and fetch her real quick," Josh offered, feeling that Abaddon really was just there for the ability to run on his own two feet. Josh didn't care quite as much, for if he wasn't in the saddle, then either he was in a zone that didn't allow riding... or something was horribly wrong.
