[Looks like Leon's hit the road again. The video shows him with sitting down with his back leaning back on a tree, as he practices a few simple chords on the guitar. It...looks like there's some improvement since his last video; at least he can play the simplest chord progression without error.

He strums the guitar idly, almost seemingly lost in thought before he turns to the gear and properly addresses it.]

Well it's been a great week. And by great, I mean fucking terrible. A friend woke up from one of those comas and went completely nuts because his brother died back home, and of course I had to suggest to him that he should go hang out with said brother to feel better because I didn't know what had happened. And then I pissed off the heir to the biggest and most dangerous yakuza families from my home. He's probably searching for me right now so if you see my body floatin' in the river you'll know why.

I also got fired from work 'cause I yelled at a customer but I was jus' so wound up from everythin' that happened that I jus' didn't have any fucks left to give, so if you're the one I yelled at then sorry, but you really have no business bein' a Pokemon trainer if you can't tell the difference between an Antidote and a Burn Heal. Damn things are already colour-coded, and there's a no refund policy so don't come crying to me.

So yeah. All in all it's been shit. Real shit. Just can't catch a break, can I?

Anyway, if you're watchin' this and if you're not too bored or busy...tell me somethin' funny. Or somethin' interestin'. Somethin' that makes you happy. I don't care, just...somethin' that'll be a break from this fuckin' week 'cause I am just done.

[Leon's just about to switch off the Gear, when he suddenly remembers.]

Oh yeah to everyone back at the house, sorry I forgot to leave a note but I'm leavin' for a few days, maybe weeks. Lemme know if ya need me for anythin', but other wise I'm gonna go an' grab some badges. Might be back by March. Will let you know.

[Tsumiki nods, shifting a little. He wants to hear another one? Okay.] O-okay.

A professor watched while a mechanic removed engine parts from his car to get to the valves. A surgeon, waiting for his car being repaired, walked over to observe the process. After they introduced themselves, they began talking and the talk turned to their lines of work.

"You know, doctor," the professor said, "I sometimes believe this type of work is as complicated as the work we do."

"Perhaps," the surgeon replied. "But let’s see him do it while the engine is running."

[Again, like before, she giggled after the joke was over. And then she looks at him expectantly.

Your turn, Leon.]

[Alright, now it's Leon's turn. Clearing his throat, he pulls out one that he hasn't used in awhile, but only because it was maybe a little too morbid. Seeing as death was already being laughed at here though, maybe it was fitting to try it on her.]

Right well, there are these two guys right? They're buddies from waaaaaay back, an' they've been playin' baseball all their lives. Anyway one of the guys falls sick an' they both know he's not gonna make it. His friend goes to see'im and says, "We've been pals for years, an' I'm hopin' you're OK with me askin' but if you could, tell me if there's baseball in heaven." The dyin' dude says "Sure, we're friends right?"

Anyway the guy dies a few days after that, an' his friend carries on for a few more days. Then one night he sees his dead friend in a dream. His friend says to him, "I've got good news an' bad news. Good news is that there is baseball up here in heaven. Bad news is that you're on for a game this Wednesday!

[Leon laughs a little at the end; that one used to be one of his favourite jokes when he was younger and not so anti-baseball.]

[She listens intently as he tells his joke, a smile on her face. Once he finishes, she laughs as well.]

Baseball can be just as morbid as nursing, Kuwata-san?
