[So, primarily becauseTrip can be still be unexpectedly timid sometimes Trip's not keen on the idea of calling into a radio show, he's going to try and mention Ken instead... except he doesn't know his username either, so. It seems he'll have to ask around...]
T. @(ghostprince) posted: Does anyone know how to contact Ken from that radio show? Doesn't he have an account on here?

[The question's also one others might have answers too, so he'll make two posts about it, shortly after one another! They're publicpeep Pippi posts, so everyone else can see them too!]
T. @(ghostprince) posted: Do any of you other drifted have an Ultern in your world? Or a similar place, even if it's not called by the same name?
[The (very new and nearly empty?) account's not very helpful in identifying him, the profile picture is scenery, although Serperior's silhouette might vaguely be recognizable in it, the location is "who wants to know?" and the bio is just a link to his Mimmeo... it might look suspicious or creepy, but it's rather unintentional!
He's just keeping a low profile and not really much of a Pippi user. His linked Mimmeo is definitely more active, although there's long stretches of inactivity (whenever he gets drifted home—two images are years apart, both during Tanabata? One at the festival proper, another aa cafe, enjoying a meal with a Yamask, it seems...), but it dates back at least three years, and has lots of photographs he's taken, although none are of himself. Just scenery, Pokemon (his own Unovan Pokemon and Ulternian ones he's seen, wild and trained), and quite a few of cafe desserts, and, more recently, and clumsy/modest attempts at cooking.]

DJ Ken@(chura_radio_ken) replied: I do have a brother, yes! He's the Nihon League Champion, and has told me about his visits to Southwest Islands! Why do you ask?
no subject
T. @(ghostprince) replied: Sorry, I was kidding. You reminded me of someone from back home, but he was a triplet. None were Champions, though. They were Gym Leaders.
I guess the way you talked about Pokemon reminded me of him, that's all.

DJ Ken@(chura_radio_ken) replied: I see! Sorry, I didn't get the joke. Well, if that person ever drifts here I'm sure we'd get along!

Who are you texting with?
[He calls basically every social media "texting" just to annoy people.]

... okwy, I just realized that doesn't sound right.
I was replying to Pippi posts! I was talking to that Ken you mentioned...
no subject
Oh, you're talking to Ken?
[Huh, come to think of it, Gold hasn't contacted Ken at all since he returned to Ultern. Maybe he should let him know he's back.
And maybe he should do it in the most chaotic way possible.
A split-second evil grin is all the warning you get, Trip, before Gold snatches your phone and runs off with it while typing.]
[Cuuute...]
[Trip's initially too stunned to react, as Gold swipes his phone and makes a run for it, but he's sokn jumping to his feet (falling off balance briefly, his back fortunately only hitting the bed), before giving chase!]
You give that back!
no subject
[Gold ducks under the table and tries to quickly type his message and send it, but he's still unfamiliar with smartphones so it takes a bit of searching. He's distracted enough Trip might just be able to catch him...]
[1/2; they're being such kids, it's adorable, pfft]
[... literally! He can't quite fit under there, not even bending down and swiping at him (why are his legs the only thing that seem to grow?!), so for a moment, he seems to give up, just standing there, thinking about how he'll have to actually crawl on the floor or, at least, get on top of the chair, then flatten himself to squeeze under the table—oh, but what's this? Gold stopped fleeing? He's just typing away?]
[2/2]
You're never supposed to turn your back on an enemy!
[^^]
[Gold manages to keep the phone from Trip's reach by sharply leaning to the side, but Trip manages to catch him by the shirt, which makes him lose his balance a little and end up sprawled on his side on the floor, dropping the phone, which slides just a bit too far for him to reach (but doesn't crack, fortunately.)]
Tch... Not so fast! Prepare for my ultimate attack!
[Time to flail about randomly and try to break free! (And also distract Trip from his phone.)
However, in the chaos, he did manage to send a peep. On the screen of the phone lying on the floor, this appears:]
T. @(ghostprince) replied: yo its brett i stolw thios gyus phone lmaowqehy7hiok39hiaj
2/2 whoop
...Brett? That's the nickname that Gold insisted on Ken calling him. Brett is back? And he stole the phone of the person Ken was talking with? What in the world...? Should he even respond to this? Or should he just phone Brett?]
[He's being unexpectedly scrappy, but I still feel like Gold could win this if he wanted to!]
[Okay, he is not a good fighter at all, so while he's hanging on as well as he can, trying to use both hands (and arms!) now, he'll take a glance at the phone. Can he reach it? Maybe not yet... can he scoot over and awww, man, that's definitely a peep sent from his account on-screen, isn't it?
While Gold's flailing around like mad, Trip's going to try and pin Gold's arms to his sides, can he get at least the one on the side closest to the phone down? Maybe he can then trap it under his leg (sorry, you're getting half-sat on!) and then lunge at the phone hopefully before Gold can scramble over once free! He won't hurt his friend to slow him down, it's not that serious! But he'll definitely try to use whatever means he can to restrain him! His reputation (well, largely anonymous, but...) is at stake!!]
[If Gold was aiming to win he'd go for dirty tricks, but his goal is to Be Difficult]
Well, time to keep flailing and squirming! If he ends up smacking Trip somewhere it's no big deal since he's not being very forceful about this, his only goal is to make it more difficult for Trip! If Trip tries to go for the phone again, Gold's grabbing an arm or a leg, whichever's closest!]
[I'm sure! ... Trip still manages to get (mildly) hurt, welp.]
[And there it goes, flying off, just as he leapt towards it—aaaand Gold's caught his ankle, so he falls ungracefully onto the floor, hands still out because he was trying to reach for the phone and failed to protect his face! At least he tried to curl in a bit when he realized he was going to slam into the floor, but he still hit the floor with an impressively loud SMACK.
He'll end up with a bruise forming on the side of his face that's still planted on the floor, but otherwise, he's good, just a bit stunned, blinking.]

...You good?
[In the end, Trip's going to be the one fighting dirty, huh...]
But, soon, he's already recovering...
Still, he felt like he could use this to his advantage. It'd be a dirty trick to play, but rather than be violent, he could pretend to be badly hurt.]
[Gold would appreciate the hustle, but he's already all fought out]
His Pokegear phone starts to ring, and he glances where it's coming from, but then looks back at Trip. Whoever that is can wait, this is more important.]
Heeey. You good?
[I don't think anyone wants to *fight* anymore... but he definitely wants to make a grab for phone]
H-huh...?
[He'll rub at his burning cheek, frowning.
How far should he take it? Would it be too corny and unbelievable if he acted like he lost his memories? Then again, he also didn't want to scare Gold too much, maybe he should just act like he needs taking care of. For now, sitting up and looking lost.]
[Gold wouldn't stop him!]
So, with a very serious look on his face, Gold takes out his Pokegear, which has been ringing for a short while now. Keeping his eyes locked on Trip, without looking at who's calling, Gold takes the call.]
Yes hello, is this the ambulance?
[On the other end of the phonecall, Ken blinks in confusion.]
[Imagining Ken hearing the boys if they still had any fight left in them, though, PFFT]
He's starting to break out into a nervous sweat and maybe blush a little.
Aaaand then, there's the ambulance joke. Well, while Gold's hands are busy.... Trip scrambled to grab his phone again and see what Gold wrote, bye! You wouldn't want to fight someone while having a phonecall, right?!]
1/2 [That'd definitely be awkward for him!]
He grins when Trip scrambles off, not making a single move to stop him.]
Alright, that worked. Hi, this is Gold, who's there? [He says into the Pokegear.
Trip can now safely retrieve his phone and see the peep! Ken hasn't replied to it, if it's any consolation...?]
2/2 [Here's the side of the guy that's totally out of the loop]
Brett? This is Ken, what was that about an ambulance...? No, uh, more importantly, did you actually steal the phone of the person I was chatting with on Pippi?
[...Or was the ambulance thing important? That "ghostprince" person didn't get into an accident or anything, right...? He can't really read Gold, especially over phone.]
[1/2]
[Trip was just. Bewildered.
He crawled back over to sit next to Gold, hey, who invited you to this conversation, Trip?!]
