[Sorry Rose, it's going to be several hours before you finally hear back from John. He's still feeling a little weird and mopey over your dancing lessons with Scratch the other day. He's torn between wanting to talk to you and wanting to ignore the message on his 'gear entirely. Sadly, he just can't do the latter.]

plans?

[[She's not exactly pleased. If you couldn't tell by her curt reply.]]

Yes.
Though it's a little late now.
What were you doing all day?

i was at work.

[And he was...for four hours. The rest of the time? He was was moping on the couch, but you don't need to know that.]

You are only able to work part-time, John.

Now that is a good question to ask. I hope you don't mind if I keep an eye on the replies you get?

Be my guest. I also wouldn't mind sharing any notes with you I have previous to this post, if you'd like.

[[Rose is always willing to assist fellow travelers with their traveling needs.

Well, provided they haven't proven themselves unworthy of such help.]]

Great! Thanks. Though I... may not have much to contribute later cause I just got here a couple days ago. I'm Sokka by the way.

That is quite understandable, so worry not. With that in mind, however, are you still in New Bark?

It's a pleasure to meet you, Sokka. My name is Rose Lalonde.

[Well, she'd been going to say FOOD but there you go.]

First-aid stuff.

It's pretty much a given that you or your Pokemon are gonna get hurt somehow on the road. Band-aids might seem pretty dinky most of the time but you'll be thankful for having them when you're out in the middle of nowhere.

Also, those Potions sure don't get wasted, either.

[[...how could she forget first aid for the humans too? Enjoy a facepalm, Heather.]]

I honestly can't believe first-aid for our group hadn't crossed my mind. Thank you.

[foolishwren]

[Have an amused, if sympathetic smirk.]

Yeah, that's pretty important.

If you keep going towards Goldenrod, there'll be times you might not see civilization for a week or two.

It takes that long? [[Not disbelieving, just...not looking forward to such a travel.]]

Is this including Union Cave and Ilex Forest? Or are those time-consuming on their own?

[swordofimpulse]

Rubber gloves.

[usedtherapy]

Rubber gloves? May I inquire as to why I would need those?

[[Not that she isn't jotting that down anyway.]]

[swordofimpulse]

If you handle Electric Pokémon, it'll help a lot, trust me.

[usedtherapy]

[[And she does indeed have those.]]

Ah, that is a very good point. Thank you.

[biteisbigger]

Potions... and Antidotes.

[video]

[usedtherapy]

Ah, I'd thought of potions, but hadn't taken antidotes into account. Or any other status healer. Thank you, Kisa.

[biteisbigger]

[ that coaxes a shy smile out of her. ] I'm... glad I could help.

[usedtherapy]

And I appreciate your help.
