♥ 002 [ video / phone call ]
[ Hey, have a mildly irritated Rinoa pop on your screens, with a young Growlithe napping off in the background. Her hands are on her hips--yeah, that's right, she's gonna yell at you. ]
Can I just say something? If someone's talking to you, you don't ignore them! Especially if they're just trying to ask you a question...meanie! [ She sticks her ( Read more... )

You earn money by working for it. There's places in every town that'll hire you if you ask.

Just regular-type jobs, then? [ Okay, nothing too strange. ]

I don't know what's normal where you come from, but here they can have you filing medical paperwork or working behind a store counter.

That doesn't sound too hard.

Oh, Hyne, Rinoa, I'm sorry! I completely forgot to say anything; I should have warned you.
That... That's Leon. I honestly haven't asked for many details, but he's... he's not Squall. The resemblance really is uncanny, but....
He doesn't seem to appreciate being mistaken for Squall, and, well - he's not all that different from Squall, either. Just don't tell him I said that. He prefers to be left alone, I think, but you know his type.
[ She's a bit quiet after that. Leon didn't seem that withdrawn when she met him; in fact, he initiated contact. It strikes her as strange that he'd refuse to answer Rinoa's questions. ]
... Was he upset? [ She assumes Rinoa can tell. ]

...Leon. [ She repeats just to confirm; how hard would it have been for him to just say that? ] You know him?
Was he upset...? [ Pause. Think. It's hard to tell tone from text. ] Um. I asked him if he was Squall, so maybe?
[ After a beat: ] He used text, though, so I'm not sure.

[ She sighs. It's not Rinoa she's exasperated with, it's Leon - she can't sort out why he'd be acting like this. ] I'm sorry for him. I mean, it's not my responsibility to apologize for him, but like I said, I should have warned you.
I'll talk to him and find out what's wrong, okay?
[ There's a brief pause. ] Squall is here. But to be honest, I've seen less of him than I have of Leon. It's... a little irritating, but then, it's Squall... I shouldn't expect any less. [ Her tone is a touch sharp. ]

...No, it's okay. I kind of showed up suddenly, after all, and we haven't had much time to talk!
[ Sheepishly: ] But yeah, if you could talk to him, that'd probably be best. I can't think of what I did wrong...
...Wait. Squall's here too? [ Give her a minute. She's not sure whether she's happy to see that or irritated that he hasn't said anything...then again, it's Squall, so she shrugs it off a bit. ] I haven't seen him at all, either.

There's nothing wrong in trying to get your feelings out into the open, especially to give the person ignoring you a piece of your mind.
[Giving her a smile.]
There's various ways to earn money, from winning pokemon battles to finding a good job. I believe Cherrygrove has a Pokemon Center, Pokemart, and a few restaurants where you could work in. Just ask and they'll give you the job almost immidiately.

I figure he probably won't listen if I just bug him, so I might as well get it all out!
[ She listens and nods for the next bit. ] I'll look into it, then! Thank you for the information.

As long as it helps you feel better, then it's just as good as bugging said rude person.
[Nodding her head.] Don't worry, it was the least I can do, miss. We were all new to this world once, you know.

You're so nice! See, more people should be like you. [ Grin. ]
...I'm Rinoa, by the way!

Maybe they simply do not want to answer your questions.
And there are places in the cities that will hire you if you are polite. [Or you can do what she does and mug people.]
Reply
Then they should say so!
And yeah, that's what people have been saying so far. It seems do-able!

Yeah...you'd think I'd be used to rude people by now, though! [ Because, y'know, Squall is such a joy to travel with. ]
Um, I don't think you can answer this one, sorry. But thanks for the offer!

Some questions can only be answered by certain people, I suppose. But discounting that question, are you settling in well? Do the route 29 Rattatas still gang up on poor unsuspecting travellers?
Reply
Ah, yes! I managed to find someone to travel with, and we're going to meet up with a couple of friends in a bit....and don't remind me of those rats. [ So not a good memory. ]
