[Kaylee is seen nomming on a chocolate-covered strawberry with obvious delight. Her mouth has a little smear of chocolate around it.]

Never knew I had so many pockets in my coveralls, but I keep finding sweets in 'em... funny, I never remember buyin' 'em, but then again the people at that store were awful nice and givin' me all these free samples...

I feel so nice...

Who: high!Red, hungry-and-mad!Snorlax and YOU.
When: February 13th, after the shop's disappearance.
Where: All over the city.
What: Snorlax wants more candy. Give it to him. Don't count on his trainer to stop him, he's on cloud nine. (Also: nobody is ever late. EVER.)

As a trainer who had to survive in the wild, Red would always accept whatever people had to offer to help him on his journey, from free items to warm food.

So of course the chocolate sample were taken without doubt. Now, Red is usually a very responsible master, and he'd never let his Pokémon eat anything not Poké-edible.

But today... today he felt different. He felt happy, relaxed, pretty chilled out. Who needs rules and regulations? Life was meant to be lived! If his monsters wanted candy, they would have candy!

And oh boy, did they love the candy. Snorlax especially - he loved it so much that when the stored disappeared, he got angry.

So watch out, oblivious passer-by, for a giant beast going on a rampage through the city, searching for more of his beloved sweets.

What an amazing way to start the morning.

When I arrived at the precinct house, everything was missing from my desk. Doesn't take a genius to know that means one of two things. Personally, I was banking on 'fired.'

But no. Down the hall, next to Kreise's office, in the empty room we'd been using for file storage. Shiny nameplate, new desk, little cardboard boxes full of all my things, and a file folder.

'Interim Chief Shepard.'

Kreise, you're going to owe me for this bullshit when you get back.

The only good thing about this complete pile of horseshit job is the little congratulatory box of chocolates they got me.

Might as well start in before I unpack and start wading through paperwork.

Chief. Goddammit.

I will not be attending the Host Club's holiday preparation. It is nothing to concern yourselves over. I am just feeling a bit...ah... under the weather.

I am certain you will get along fine without me.

Fujioka, do not allow Suou to go over the budget I laid out previously.
