♪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.]

Comments

no go away

[saxsongs]

[Woah hey. Who's that beautiful girl leaving right away? That's not fair.]

Leaving so soon? We just met.

I was trying to go away, but you won't let me go away :(

[meikyuubutterfly]

I'm looking for someone else.

[Sorry Ren, your princess is in another castle?

...Wait, a beautiful girl is about to abandon you for someone else?]

whoops

[saxsongs]

[Well, that just means she's more of a challenge?]

My guess is that he's not in this world, if it's someone you know.

[Let's see if this stops her.]

so blame yourself if you can't handle her attitude

[meikyuubutterfly]

[Yep, that stops her dead in her tracks.]

...What the hell are you talking about?

[Oh look, it's the impolite way of asking 'Why do you think so' or something.]

like I haven't before

[saxsongs]

[Oh, it worked? Guess this person she's looking for it pretty important.]

This is a completely different world. I doubt you'll find your friends here. I didn't. [Not that he even looked... but he figured they would have contacted him already.]

but she's been from the end of encore before ;o

[meikyuubutterfly]

[Yes, he is important. No, she's not going to show any other signs of his importance in front of anyone.]

I doubt I'll know for sure unless I look for him first.

[And she'll go, right now because she doesn't have time for you.

...But feel free to see her later whenever Ren is just wandering around and Utau still hasn't found Ikuto?]

oh right

[saxsongs]

[Ren will just shake his head at her leaving. Good luck with your lonely mission, miss. Maybe it's time to move again at a later time...

And meet the same blonde girl. Looks like she still hasn't found what she's looking for.]

Have you searched the entire base?

...does that even make any difference around strangers?

[meikyuubutterfly]

[Nope, she hadn't found him. Either Ikuto wasn't here in this HQ (that'd great), he wasn't in this world (there'd be hell to pay) or he was playing hide & seek like a good stray cat (that'd be normal) ...]

Oh, it's you again. [...] Yeah, I have.

[At least now she knows her surroundings / what's inside this place .]

not really, no

[saxsongs]

[Or then he would be in New Bark Town like all good trainers are.]

No luck in finding whoever you were searching, I assume? [He still hasn't bothered looking for his friends... good going Ren.] You could ask the network.

we'll just have to live with her, huh?

[meikyuubutterfly]

[The first question is stupid, she'll just ignore it.] Stray cats who don't want to be found won't answer to anyone on the network. ...And won't let people see them if they don't want to be seen.

I'm sure we'll manage

[saxsongs]

[Stray cats? That's an interesting way to talk about someone... at least he assumes she's talking about a person still.]

That's too bad. I guess you won't know if the stray has wandered here or not until you meet it.

Let's hope so c:

[meikyuubutterfly]

The stray should play violin on my street show today, so he'd better be here. [Never mind that there won't be a little concert from her today.]

[saxsongs]

Just arrived and you're already having a street show? Impressive.

[meikyuubutterfly]

No point having it here when all my music [and abilities, but she's not going to mention it to you] is back in my own world, where I was on the way to the show and there's no way to bring the songs here. Maybe re-making with a music maker, or something, if such things exist in the stores, but... [Utau shrugs.]

[saxsongs]

[So a singer girl dragged away from her shows where have I heard this. Ren smiles slightly.]

That's at least what I'm planning on doing: remaking the music. It would be hard to sing against this background theme.

[meikyuubutterfly]

[...Oh, look, it's another singer ... and looks like he can compose his own music.]

It only works when you're one of those who make their own music instead of just singing music made for you. [Guess whose composer isn't here?!] Got to agree with the background theme. [What's with that anyway? Why won't it go away? And why was it different outside of this building?!]

[saxsongs]

I usually don't make my own music, unless it's homework. [Which it usually isn't.] Our band has our own composer, but she's not here.

[Oh right.] Though neither are the others.

[meikyuubutterfly]

Not that I care, but homework?

[...] Admirable how much you seem to care. [...Or not]

[saxsongs]

The basic meaning of homework applies here, even in the school for idols. [Not that he did most of his homework. Whoops.]

Of course I care, but that's not my main concern.

..... 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.
