ask blog for depot agent josh ask box open

[nartothelar]

a conversation about mr. gray

- corbeau and emmet are officially together at this point; this is corbeau’s first time at gear station

- josh never quite moved on from emmet; boy has been pining for nearly two decades smh

- corbeau can tell; emmet knew of josh’s crush

[nartothelar]

It's so weird seeing Subway Boss Emmet calling someone else boss, it's like wait what isn't he-??

ksksk this makes me imagine corbeau visiting gear station with emmet for the first time and them both turning their heads when a depot agent calls for him

[nartothelar]

depot agent “the freak” josh

on the contrary, josh has such low self esteem he never saw himself as an option for emmet’s love. he’s just happy to see emmet again! (and admiring his boss’ new boyfriend lol)

New agent Josh lore; he worked at a gas station before becoming a depot agent

this is now canon (and a secret he can’t reveal at all costs unless he wants a history lesson on why trains are far superior to automobiles)

at the interview ->

ingo: so what did you do before applying to work as a depot agent?

josh panicking: uh-s-sell drugs?

[askdepotagentjosh]

Depot Agent Josh, which regional starter do you think looks the coolest at first glance?

I’d say a rowlet! They’re really, uh, cute to me, y’know?

[askdepotagentjosh]

Depot Agent Josh, do you know how to throw it back?

Uh, maybe? W-what exactly am I throwing back to you?

[nartothelar]

I like the way you draw the gas station attendants

my favorite employee at quick-n-stop

[askdepotagentjosh]

(is this blog already in PLA canon with Ingo missing?)

(if so:)

How have things been since one of your bosses went missing?

Knowing you and your coworkers y'all gonna make sure your boss won't overdo it but you especially have to make sure he's alright and doesn't overdo it!

w-we are trying our best!

dependable

- after ingo’s disappearance, gear station’s staff made it a mission to support their boss and keep the station running smoothly until his return

- hc that the single and double lines are on back to back schedules now -> each are open every other day now so emmet only has to run one line a day (to prevent overwork and burn out)

- the depot agents love their bosses and want to support them in anyway they can

meet the other depot agents that you might recognize around gear station!

- in terms of how long they’ve been employed at gear station, with the first being here the longest: agent brad, agent chris, agent josh, agent carl, agent july

fun facts:

- agent july is a recent hire and works in communications; very vocal about her opinions and isn’t afraid to speak her mind even to fellow veteran agents

- agent carl is good friends with josh and very chill, balancing out his jitteriness. he works on the platform floor and good at deescalating situations

- agent brad is a man who loves to finish his work early and go home; has a no nonsense type attitude and will complain about extra work (despite this he still cares about his fellow agents and his boss). he works in finances

- agent chris is a woman of few words; all business and dislikes small talk (mostly because she feels awkward whenever she’s talking about things outside of work). she works as one of gear stations veteran engineers with a specialty in engine work

[nartothelar]

who’s the scariest?

- the depot agents truly respect and admire, care for, and are intimidated by their bosses all at once and at different levels

- despite this, they also know that their bosses are total dorks

- in terms of how long they’ve been employed at gear station, with the first being here the longest: agent brad, agent chris, agent josh, agent carl, agent july

what was your first pokemon josh

Ah, w—well that would be my leavanny Phyll! He’s been with me since, since the beginning and one of my closest friends!

[nartothelar]

the answer

<- prev

and that’s a wrap for this little comic series! ingo knew from the beginning that he would be suggested but as earnest as he is, he couldn’t help but confess, even knowing what josh’s answer would be TwT

after this josh was afraid they would grow apart as friends but ingo treats him just as he always does. josh is glad and ingo is content with seeing josh at work

[nartothelar]

april fools lol

IChooChooseYouWeek - Day 5: Kiss

- josh had a busy morning that day and was taking a nap in the employee break room

- josh L or W, you decide sksks

[askdepotagentjosh]

HELLO?HELLO?HELLO?HELLO?HELLO?????? INGO CONFESSION REAL??!?!?????

IT WAS FORETOLD! 🗣️ <- in the prompt list sksks

[nartothelar]

confession

<- prev | next ->

- IChooChooseYouWeek - Day 3: Confession

- ingo had been wanting to confess for a long time but never found the perfect opportunity to; it’s only now that he realized there isn’t going to be a perfect opportunity and decided to go for it anyway

- ingo and josh were getting some decorations for a staff holiday party

- josh was completely and utterly caught off guard

[nartothelar]

unrequited

next ->

- ok so this is gonna be a small comic series where I delve into the unrequited love plot line I’ve had in my mind for ingo and josh -> they both have had a couple of flings together but nothing serious until ingo starts catching feels of course sksks

- which is something josh is blissfully unaware about since he can’t fathom someone as amazing as ingo falling for someone like him

- josh is also in love with emmet which ingo is fully, painfully, aware of

[nartothelar]

from the sidelines

- ingo and josh has had past flings with each other at this point; ingo is the only one catching feels

- ingo knows josh loves emmet; all he cares about is josh’s happiness

- every so often ingo and emmet will take time for themselves to go out after work alone
