[the background of the video will be obvious to anyone familiar with it as the front of the Goldenrod gym; Oshitari is sitting on a bench in front of it, with his Cleffa bouncing happily on the seat next to him. she seems to be playing with a squirtbottle.]So Whitney really does cry every time she's defeated, as it turns out, but you can distract

[ Rise always nears the Gym with an air of someone expecting to step on a land mine, but the Flareon trotting contentedly at her heels has no problem with bounding forward to greet Oshitari.

Yes, by rearing up to place his paws on his thighs. Hi, Yuushi!! Do you have pets for him today? You may have heard his trainer cheering you on from... well, outside, because screw Whitney. And she's catching up now, sparing Pepper a fondly exasperated look before she looks at Oshitari. ]

Mm... Souji-senpai, Yosuke-senpai, and Teddie all showed up at the same time, but then Yosuke-senpai left again... even then, I was still waiting for awhile.

[hello there, cute thing, of course you can have pets.]

Did they? One does have to wonder how this place decides who to bring here.

I don't know, but it sure took its sweet time. [ a minor huff-- her team's here now, so she's really not all that grumpy about it. And Pepper isn't even bothering to feign irritability, plumed tail wagging in delight. ] Mind if I sit?

Oh, of course. [Marianne stop hogging the seat and come sit in daddy's lap--]

Thank you~ That one was a bit annoying to deal with, really...

Ah, really? That's certainly exciting for you, even if it's only one person. There wasn't anyone here from your world before, was there?

[Video]

[sfaccendato]

Well, it was less that I thought of it, and more that Marianne went over to say hi of her own accord... But either way it worked, so.

I see. That sounds a bit awkward.

Not many people from my world have arrived all at once, but there was a time when a majority of us left this world over a period of time.

[sfaccendato]

Hm, that's rather interesting as well. Yet most of the time there doesn't seem to be any kind of pattern to it at all.

[miniworth]

It's spontaneous. The chances that a person will arrive here is one in a million, but also extremely high. In other words, it's completely unpredictable.

[sfaccendato]

That does seem to be true, yes. Sad, really, it would be nice to try to guess who might arrive next.

Congratulations, Oshitari-san! There are a lot of ways to deal with Whitney-san once she loses, most people just really blow her reaction out of proportion.

Anyway, I've only had a single person from my world ever show up... And she left quite some time ago. The only real pattern I've noticed is they usually arrive on the weekends. That aside, maybe we'll run into each other! I'm heading down to Cherrygrove as well. The only reason I can even reply to you is since we're taking a break for my ribs to recover.

[sfaccendato]

I don't think they were blowing it that far out of proportion, really...

Hmm, that is somewhat true, isn't it. Though Gakuto only arrived today, and Ootori and Hiyoshi on... I believe it was Wednesday.

...What did you do to your ribs?

[video]

[combat_butler]

Well... I found her easy enough to deal with once I got her to stop crying... I just think her volume is what gets blown out.

--oh! I met Ootori-san the other day! He seems nice. *He has yet to get the other ones name though so ahaha*

--ah... I, um... Just some minor issues in the flight over, that's all.

[video]

[sfaccendato]

I think it's the getting her to stop crying part that most people find difficult, really.

Oh, did you? He is quite nice, yes; you two would probably get along.

You didn't fall off or crash into something, did you?

Cherrygrove, was it?

[sfaccendato]

Indeed. Whyever do you ask?

[nodoubleteam]

Nothing of great importance, really. I thought I could arrange a friendly little rendezvous.

[not with jade. jade's in violet. he means a friendly rendezvous with dist's face.]

[sfaccendato]

Oh, really? Are you in the area?
