[ Her network post comes shortly after being rushed out of the house, and for all intent and purpose she doesn’t seem that different from the other new arrivals.

Well, except for one little detail. ]

K-Kyo-kun, Shishou, Kisa-san, Isuzu-san, Ritchan-san? Is anyone still here? Takatori-san, Envy-san…?

[deadfreesia]

So you've returned.

[little_umeboshi]

Takatori-san, it's nice to see you again.

[deadfreesia]

And you. In New Bark Town?

[little_umeboshi]

Yes, I seem to be back where I started. My badges are gone, so are my Pokemon. I just hope they're alright. [ She'd feel terrible if her disappearance had left them abandoned-- orphaned so to say --as she'd been. That wasn't something she'd do if she could help it. ] I guess I was gone a while, since it's already snowing. I guess I missed pretty much all of fall, huh?

[deadfreesia]

It's November 20th now, so it seems that way.

I don't know of all of them, but your Rapidash spent some time with me. He's taking care of someone important to me now. He seems healthy; I'm sure he's well cared for.

[little_umeboshi]

Then I just have to be sure to try to make up for lost time! [ Time to RECOLLECT badges and catch up with the others in Goldenrod! She hasn't heard from Kyo yet but she's hopeful! Such a long time to be away...! Last time she returned home, or "returned home" it was only for a week, why was it different this time?

Well, she's back now, so... ]

Really? That's a relief. The others probably went to good homes as well, then. [ She lets out a breath, smiling. ] I'm sure he's in very good hands. Thank you for letting me know, Takatori-san. [ A grateful bow, at least as much as can be seen of it since she's holding her own gear. She already misses Chika-chan, though not because of that. ]

Have you been well?

[deadfreesia]

[Mamoru nods in response to the thanks.]

Yes, I've been well. I'm in Goldenrod City right now.

[Talkative, isn't he?]

Judging by the icon choices here!

[little_umeboshi]

I see... Ne, Takatori-san...? Is there something wrong? [ She looks a little worried now. You seem to have something on your mind. ]

[deadfreesia]

[Oh, she's sharp.]

...No. I'm sorry for worrying you. Where will you be going now that you're back?

[little_umeboshi]

[ LOOKS UNSURE. ] W... Well-- [ Oh, um, OH, SUBJECT CHANGE okay then! ] It seems like Kisa-san, Ritchan-san, and Hatori-san are all still here, so I'll be heading to Goldenrod to meet with them again.

[deadfreesia]

You'll be in Goldenrod, too? That's a pleasant surprise. Has anyone sent assistance for you to travel more quickly?
