♪1 | Audio / Action for Rocket HQ

[audio]

Hmm, a Pokémon world? This is certainly something I didn't expect.

[Ren sounds pretty calm and thoughtful. He's been able to think about the situation pretty well for a while. Though his tone will change into slight amusement.]

I should have probably played the games better than just sometimes out of boredom... but I guess that's too late now.

[He'd rather be playing the games at home than be in a suspicious organization, but that's something he keeps to himself. Instead he'll voice some other thoughts.]

So the point is probably the same, right? Collect Pokémon, train them, defeat other trainers and gym leaders? Sounds pretty simple... but I'm aware this won't probably be like it is the games. They're now living creatures, after all.

Anyway, I guess I'll be seeing you around. [A small pause before he continues.] Especially the ladies~

[And the feed clicks off.]

[action]

[If anyone at the Rocket HQ wants to meet up with the newbie, he's either still in his room or wandering around the base where he can. Meet him up wherever you'd like.

He's definitely not wearing his uniform, because it just doesn't suit him.]

..... utau..........

[meikyuubutterfly]

[Some people needed a school for that?]

What? A school full of talentless airheads who want to become idols? Or does it actually require something from the people who get in? [Other than the "OMG, I WANT TO BE AN IDOL!" behavior, that is.]

Aww, picking up locks isn't that hard either.

[what, that isn't your main concern either? :c ]

wow rude

[saxsongs]

I wouldn't say it like that. Talent is what you need to get forward in the school... it's not that easy to get into either.

[He shrugs.]

Think of what you wish, lady.

should be a warning every time I tag with her

[meikyuubutterfly]

Talent is what makes you the world's singer number one without any idol schools. So, I rather just keep my recording contract.

[So he has never stole anything, pickpocketed, picked a lock?]

I think the only thing I'll pay attention is stuff that only exists in this world. [Such as escape routes from different places.] The rest is child's play.

[saxsongs]

And if the point of the school is to get a recording contract? Worked for our group, at least. [Even if their principal is insane.

There hasn't been any need to because he's a rich kid.]

You might get shot down if you're overconfident.

[meikyuubutterfly]

There are faster ways to get one. One group from the whole school? [She's impressed ...not. Except maybe for the 'one group from people of your age' part where you were all in the same year at school etc etc, but she's not telling you that.]

I can't imagine how that would feel like after fighting my way to the top.

[♪ "you shoot me down, but I won't fall, I am titanium" ♪]

[saxsongs]

Usually the school doesn't let groups graduate, but we were an expectation. You could say our performance was 1000%.

[Or something like that.]

I bet it would hurt a lot, to fall down from that high up... unless there was someone to catch you.

[meikyuubutterfly]

[1000% - what?] I guess you can do something then. Or maybe you just got lucky.

[...Still trying to decide whether or not this guy is a kid.]

Newsflash: no one's there to catch you in the world of adults.

[saxsongs]

I guess you'll just need to hear me perform one day. I can manage even alone.

[Once he gets a saxophone.]

There might not be anyone to catch you there, but there's always someone to help you back on your feet. [Been there, done that? Sort of.]

[meikyuubutterfly]

I guess I could give it a try.

[Said as if she's not interested, much, while in fact she is.]

Says Mister-Know-It-All, while in fact he knows nothing at all. Or maybe they spoiled you.

[saxsongs]

[Of course she's interested... but Ren won't push the subject.]

Spoiled? I wouldn't say that for sure, even if I am from a rich family. [Family issues for the win, right Utau?] I've just been down on a bad road and I was brought back by a magnificent person... so I know.

[School = definitely the adult world. At least almost at Saotome.]

[meikyuubutterfly]

[...oh, he's from a rich family too - no surprise there.]

Well, welcome to the world of crime organizations, no one's going to pull you back to your feet in these. So have fun with that.

[...Except she might do that one day if you need it and if she feels like it. But shhhh, it's a secret. It's not like he seems like a weak person anyway.

Oh, did she just admit that being in a crime organization isn't new to her?]

[saxsongs]

It might be possible. At least if there are people who aren't completely with the system. [As in, those who are willing to help even if told otherwise.] Or if you have good contacts.

[Not that he knew much about criminal organizations, but it never hurt to try a tactic like that... right? At least good contacts would mean less trouble inside the organization.

Though what Utau said did make him curious.]

Hmm, so you're not new to this, miss?

[meikyuubutterfly]

Possible, maybe. Likelihood is another thing. [so good luck with that. Nope, it never hurts to try tactics like that, but it's not like she's going to admit much...

Devilish, almost intimidating, smirk.]

Well, compared to where I came from, this thing is like child's play for someone who's the main star of everything evil back home.

[saxsongs]

Main star, huh. Does it have something to do with the street performance you mentioned?

[Evil songstress... rather fascinating.]

[meikyuubutterfly]

It's got everything to do with that too. And lots of other things, that you wouldn't even believe.

[saxsongs]

If you're saying it like that, you could be talking about something supernatural... but I won't ask.

[meikyuubutterfly]

[Shrug.] Who knows. [Tossing one of her pigtails to the side with an icy hand wave. She won't kiss and tell.] It almost sounds like you believe in supernatural stuff when you put it that way.

[saxsongs]

We're in a Pokémon world. Actually, the whole thing bout being transported to a whole new world is something that makes you believe there might be something supernatural.

[meikyuubutterfly]

[Shrug.] The only thing I'm interested in is how the hell do I get out of here.

[saxsongs]

[He'd say "Well, there's usually a door.", but he feels like this isn't a time for a joke.]

I've heard there isn't one, but who know, they might be lying.

[meikyuubutterfly]

[...So confused at first and about to ask 'How's that possible' or tell him that it's impossible... But then again, she's a girl from a normal world, until Shugo Charas appear... So, saying that something is impossible would be kind of stupid. Besides, all these people wouldn't be there if it was possible to escape, right?]

Is that so? [Shrug.] Well, lies or not - I guess I've got some work to do then.

[saxsongs]

Is going back home that important to you? [It's a friendly question, really, because it is important to him too... he's just decided not to stress about it.]

[meikyuubutterfly]

[Oh, she won't even need words to answer this one! Have one fucking determined look, Ren. Does that answer your question? It should, as it must be one of the most determined looks anyone will ever give you.]

[saxsongs]

[Ren just smiles at that.]

Good to know.

[meikyuubutterfly]

[Hmmm? What was that?]

Because?
