I didn't think Johto could any weirder than it was already. Between... y'know, radioactive monsters and old, out-of-date, 8-bit music that won't turn off no matter what you do, I figured we had reached the maximum capacity for weird.

I think this place just proved me wrong.

[Kaito's message is short this time around, and somewhat cryptic, if only

[So Naoto has been searching for Kaito. She had an interesting encounter and a "wild" theory she'd like to talk out with someone but first she'll attempt small-talk.]

Kaito-san. What weird thing have you encountered?

And as to the music... I can't say I have a favorite, but I had grown quite tired of the Cherrygrove music by the time I left.

There must be a way to probe into this location without attracting undue attention and suspicion. Once we have secured the name of the town closest to the base it is only a matter of time.

A friend of mine has a theory. [but he isn't sure Kay wants him sharing it, so it's something he'll keep to himself for now]

Re: [action]

[fortunatewings]

[Naoto pauses for a moment, curious, but then she nods.]

If your friend wishes to share it, I would enjoy hearing that theory.

[bakaitoukid]

[a pause, and then]

Her name is Kay Faraday.

[fortunatewings]

If I get the chance to speak with her, I will ask. Thank you.

[bakaitoukid]

She was also the one kidnapped by him.

[action]

[fortunatewings]

...Ah.

[And Naoto knows how she can screw up delicate matters.]

Perhaps it would be best if you broached the subject to her then.

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

[that hadn't been why he brought it up (he figured it was only fair for Naoto to know), so he's blinking in surprise a bit]

Eh? Why?

[action]

[fortunatewings]

I... ah, I must admit I have a tin ear for others' feelings. I am aware that it must be a delicate matter and I would not wish to aggravate things.

[This is not an admission she likes to make, clearly]

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

You think you might say something to upset her?

[action]

[fortunatewings]

While I attempt to avoid such incidents, yes, such things do happen.

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

[he pauses for a moment, before he nods]

All right. I'll talk to her.

[action]

[fortunatewings]

[She's relieved!]

Thank you.

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

You're welcome.
