[ She's well aware that text isn't a preferred mode of communication for some people, and this is too important to not get out to the greatest amount of people who knew him possible, but...Aradia's forgoing video for once, so all that's coming through is her voice. She sounds fairly calm, if a bit rushed, but there's a bit less pep and a bit more seriousness, though admittedly only those who are familiar with her may even note that much. ]

Hi. Jake English went home today. [ Just...putting it out there, front and center. Aradia takes another breath before continuing. ]

I'm not sure exactly when, but...well, we've been having the same problems as everyone else. A little bit. It was only the once, but - well, let's just say we were all split up. And I was trying to contact everyone to try to coordinate a reunion, but - I couldn't reach Jake's gear.

I tried a few times, just to be sure, so - I don't think it's a mistake. ...Besides which, both of the Jake Pokemon are with me, and - [ Well. Logic therefore dictates that he's gone. ]

If anyone has any Pokemon from his roster I'd appreciate it if you sounded off. I'm sure they're all going to be well cared for but it would be nice to know where they ended up, although admittedly there are a number of Pokemon to account for.

[ There's a short pause, and then, wryly: ] We had a bit of a problem back then, didn't we? ...Anyway, that's about it. Oh! I did find Kanaya, though. We just ended up on opposite ends of town.

Uhh, well...a blue one? [ Come to think of it, Lilo had never asked Jumba if Stitch really had a SPECIES... ] I mean, he's got four arms and these big ears, and a big old face, too. With really sharp teeth! He's the best.

I've never seen an alien like that, but he sounds great! Maybe I'll get to meet him sometime, if he comes back. Though he'd be human if that were the case.

Yeah, I heard about that, too. He'd be one weird looking human, I bet.

Why do you say that?

'Cause he's got this huge nose and this huge mouth and these huge ears and eyes.

Oh, you're right...! That really might look a bit weird on a human. I suppose I was close enough to human already - well, reasonably so - that it didn't work out too badly.

[ Come again. ]

Huh? You're not a human, either?

Not normally! I'm normally a troll.

[ 8D ]

[ ... ]

You mean...like one of those naked guys with the big eyes and the crazy tall hair??

...Well, no. We look rather like humans, but with horns and gray skin, and the whites of our eyes are sort of yellow? There are a few other differences, but cosmetically on the outside it's pretty similar. Ish!

[ That is...kind of hard to picture still. ] ...Can you draw a picture?

Oh, sure!

[ And she'll attach a picture of a girl who looks something like this. Sketchy-style! ]

Oooooh.

[ Yeah, that doesn't look nearly as weird as it was in her head. ]

The aliens I know look pretty different from humans, but your kind doesn't so much.

Well, not for the most part! A lot of our organs and things sort of are, but I don't think we need to get into alien anatomy lessons for the moment. Let's not stress my drawing skills!

[ Yeah, she is okay with skipping anatomy lessons, even if organs are kind of cool. ]

Do you have like...six stomachs, or something?? I think cows have six stomachs. I saw it on TV once.

[ close enough ]

Not that I'm aware of, but it's possible someone does?

You mean you're not all the same inside?

Well, the highest bloods have gills and aquatic organs?
