[timelymaid]

no :(
this is entirely unfair!
ive been waiting to go to the museum in pewter ever since john told me about it on day one
and then jade gave me that book for christmas
and i planned it all out so i could come and see it after all of the fossil things!
this was the plan!
to go to the museum!

this is so stupid!!

by the way the museum was robbed i guess
and now its closed
and i cant go in

kanaya will you go to mt moon with me i guess we can at least TRY to salvage this

people who rob museums are the worst

[ After sulkily lurking outside of the museum for a little while in the morning, Aradia will be drawing up a plan of attack for Mt. Moon, easily found either at the inn or on a bench outside or at a cafe somewhere. She is not the happiest of campers for once, although her mood will not last long at all. As ever she'll match whatever mode of reply she gets. ]

I'm not really that familiar with fancy psychological terms, sorry!!

[ Hm. Has she said everything she has to...? ]

I only have one more piece of information on that part, and it's more relevant to them than us: apparently their starters are chipped by the team. One of the people I spoke with said that when they hadn't followed orders, they were attacked by that starter.

...And with that, of course I'm ready to hear your unrelated question.

What the hell, seriously!?

[Okay the question is going to have to wait a second because John TAKES OFFENSE TO THIS.]

Those bastards, that's seriously low! Which... I guess is a given for Team Rocket and I shouldn't be surprised but there are just lines, you know?! Brainwashing Pokémon is one of them. Just.... AUGH! That really steams me.

[It's true, you can almost see the steam pouring out his ears.]

[ WOW, she really should have expected this, in retrospect. ]

Yes. So...that's a thing. I guess Nurse Joy knows how to extract it, but...I guess that's something to keep in mind. If your starter is against you as well as the rest of the world, it might be easier to understand why more people don't leave?

[ She shrugs. At least it's information, and information is ~power~. ]

[Probably, yeah. Most of the time, John is pretty is pretty chill (?) but you know, there are just some things... you just don't exploit people and Pokémon, okay? You just don't.]

Yeah... it does. That's just... a really shitty situation all around. Why does that even happen it's so stupid. Like if you're a breeder or a trainer you can do whatever you want! Just... it's really not fair.

[ She still probably would have told him, just because...well, if she disappears at least some of them should have the information, right? Think ahead. ]

I don't know! It's really arbitrary. But I feel like a lot of things in this place can be that - arbitrary, I mean. There are people in that team, I think, that do not deserve to have all that happening to them.

[ghostytrainer]

Yeah... jeez. I had no idea, but it really could happen to anybody and that's kind of... terrible. The fact that it's only arbitrary at best just makes it worse.

[Suddenly he's just really kind of sad and it almost feels silly to bring up Ghost Club under these circumstances.]

But now that we know it...I feel like that's important. Maybe if some of them need help, we can do that!

...Also, you had something else to say, but I derailed it. Sorry!

video; filtered

[ghostytrainer]

Oh! Ahaha yeah, I did. Don't apologize though, it's okay. I mean this is more important than what I had to say. And I agree, if I ever know anybody in that situation who trusts me enough to tell me, then I would like to help them.

Because nobody should be forced into something like that...

[He pauses briefly.]

But to change tracks entirely now, to something that is going to sound completely random and I almost feel dumb for even bringing up now: how does forming some kind of like... ghost enthusiasts club sound to you?

I think that is the best idea I've ever heard, and I'm wondering how I didn't think of it before now.

[ DID YOU EXPECT ANY OTHER ANSWER, JOHN. ]

[HEY WELL HE HAD TO BE SURE OKOK??]

Haha, really? My best? I dunno, I think I have had some pretty A+ ideas in the past. I mean, come on: cake pancakes? Sheer stroke of genius right there.

No but seriously, why didn't one of us think of this sooner?

[ IS HE SURE NOW? ]</small I don't think I've had cake pancakes...! But I don't know! I guess we were off our game. We should say we've had the idea for a while but were just planning a grand opening.
