[ The video feed opens to Fang sitting on the ground and sifting through her backpack. As she pulls things out she sets them to one side, where a Bagon is also inspecting them. ] Y'know, I'm getting kinda tired of waking up someplace completely different. Once is enough, even if there's a welcome party this time 'round.

[ She starts to put the

You raise them to beat the Gyms.

[titanite]

[ Short and to the point. She can appreciate that. Still... ] I don't like getting herded along by whoever made up that little rule.

[ofmywill]

[ That's our Minato! Never use more than six words if you can possibly help it. ]

No-one does. [ ... ] Other questions?

[titanite]

[ She raises an eyebrow, but she sounds amused. ] You some kind of tour guide?

[ . . . fancy piece of clothing she's got there. judith can't say much about the style of it, though. ]

I like your cape. [ yeah, just that. except after a pause she continues: ] Welcome to Johto.

[titanite]

You want it, you can have it. Ain't exactly my style.

[ Her lips twitch at the welcome; yeah, this time is definitely different. ] Can't exactly say I'm glad to be here but thanks anyway.

[bewilding]

That's all right. You might grow to like it. [ well, not really, but she can always add in a lighthearted tease. ] You're welcome. It's a strange situation, but it's not as bad as it can be. Did you have things explained to you?

[titanite]

[ A shrug and smile. ] I'll find a use for it. [ If it gets too cold, she'll resort to using it. After all, her sari is not the warmest nor most covering outfit. ]

Bits and pieces. Don't think I'm gonna figure things out until I just do it myself. [ She doesn't even know what questions to ask, really. ]

If you're looking for a reason, it's basically because everyone here does it. This whole world revolves around Pokémon.

[titanite]

Because they're our weapons or for some other reason? [ She still isn't fond of that idea. ]

[islandshore]

Pretty much. People around here train them up, win badges, that kind of thing.

But it's not as bad as it sounds.

[titanite]

[ She nods, accepting his assessment for now - she'll judge for herself when she actually tries it. ] Is there a point to all that or is it just somethin' to do? [ She can't imagine that this place would bring her here just for the hell of it. ]

[ pinged by fashion! ]

What's -- Gran Pulse fashion?

[titanite]

[ Fang puts the cape down and straightens so Sheryl can see her better. (Just a picture since I dunno how familiar you are with her outfit!) Between her sari, the furs hanging on her belt, the various bits of jewelry and the large black tattoo on her left arm, Fang has a tribal vibe going for her. ]

This sorta thing - Gran Pulse is where I'm from. Never seen anything like it, 'cept from home.

[northerncrosses]

[ if that's what people call odd -- then clearly, they haven't seen sheryl's concerts clothes yet. ]

I don't know. They look pretty cool to me. A bit eccentric but cool.
