Level 15 [Video]

_{[Ralph isn't beating around the bush today. The feed flicks on to show his huge, angry face, his brick-shaped brows scrunched up in frustration.]}

Okay, so, any a' you seen a disgusting little wolf boy with long black hair, sharp teeth, and purple eyes? Kinda looks like a mobile pile of garbage? He's been missing for about a week and he's not answering his 'gear even though his number's still in service and I know he hasn't been home because there are still french fries on the floor and--

_{[He stops himself and scrubs at the back of his head.]}

Anybody know if he's alright?

[Wrath isn't in the main garbage heap behind the HQ. He isn't behind any of the nearby restaurants, the poke'chow factory, the local play park, or even in the sewers. By the time they come back to the base, Ralph is exhausted, grumpy, and more worried than ever.]</sub>

I'm ready to call it a day. He's made it this long, he can hold out one more day while everyone gets their act together.

[He tries to stay back as much as he can, but he's... dealing with it. He doesn't like the stench that's clinging to him, and he's going to have to find another change of clothes because these might need to just be burnt.]

[But he's also exhausted, and frustrated, and the whole situation is pulling on emotions he'd wanted to push away. But he promised he'd look out for Wrath, right?]

[... He failed at that, too.]

Yeah. He'll turn up. People can't die here, right? So if the absolute worst happens, we'll probably find him at a Pokemon Center.

[Not that he wants that, but...]

<sub>[It may be the truth but...it's still grim to think about. Ralph shudders all over. Thirty years the mantra 'if you die outside your game, you don't regenerate' has been drilled into his head. They're all strangers to this game.]

[It just aint natural!]</sub>

Yeah...

[grapeeater]

... We'll keep looking, but we won't be that effective if we're tired and hungry.

[... He's hungry, at least.]
