Are we doing a musical number now, Aradia? I don't think my voice carries well in the sky.

I can't help it, a great many people start singing that here at the drop of a hat!

I feel as though many people have known this song before and we are denied such a thing. [Humans and their pokeymans man.]

I do, too! I suppose there might have been something similar for Fiduspawn - or Sollux seems to know the song, anyway - but it's really unfair how many cultural references this world makes that I just miss.

It really is unfair! Humans should be much more thoughtful about the people that arrive here that aren't up to date with their silly cultural things.

It's pretty rude, I think!

Hello, Aradia. As soon as you are available, I would like to take you up on your offer from a few months ago.

im available now! :)
im just up in mahogany but with flying i can be there in about a day and a half?
easy as pie

It is! But then again so is taking people from their homes and forcing them into shapes not their own, and then divesting them of any weapons or powers they might have had.

Excellent. Many thanks, Aradia. I believe it would be best for me to spend some time away from Goldenrod.

its no problem at all!
but did something happen? :(

Hey, Aradia. I have something to tell you, so please call me when you're able to?

[ He gets a reply maybe ten minutes later. She checks her gear a lot, okay. ]

Hey, Ren! What's up?

[Ren's the same on some days.]

There's something I want my friends to know about, so I decided to call... but before I get to that. How are you? It's been a while, hasn't it?

Oh, I'm good! I'm over in Mahogany. Kanaya's still here, but Sollux warped all the way to Kanto, if you can believe that. In the whole world weirdness event!

We're just grabbing our badges and heading out, hopefully...You?

Ah, yeah. Our traveling group was separated with the glitching... though I was lucky and just made a gym leader angry during it.

[If you... consider that lucky.]

I've been well enough, especially now that the craziness has been over for a while. Our group is back together and we've had fun.

Which gym leader? And how? That sounds a bit dangerous!

[ But at least they're back together...! ]

We're still a bit separated, but we're working on it.

Anyway, you needed to talk to me?

Misty, the Gym Leader of Cerulean. I was glitched onto her a few times...

[He knows he's a Casanova, but that was a bit too much even for him.]

I'm sure you'll be back together in no time.

But, yes. [There's a small pause as he thinks on how he should even begin.] Do you remember the day when you found me from a jail cell a while back?

...Well, that sucks. Hopefully it doesn't come back to bite you in the future!

[ Aradia nods, but this is...audio... ]

Yeah, I do! That's one of the things I remember from that time.

I'm not about to challenge her gym just yet, so it'll be alright.

[And he'll bring her flowers.]

Alright, then... What would you say if I told you that it wasn't my first time in that place? Not the jail cells, but the facility itself...

[ She's actually pretty darn smart, so if he's saying that, then he has to mean... ]

I'd say you either broke in or happen to be a Team Rocket member.

[That's what he was counting on.]

I used to be a member. I've been out for almost four months now...

You were a member?

[ ...She's honestly surprised. Why would Ren join -

...hold on. ]

...Did you wake up a member here?

[It's an automatic reaction to nod at both statement, even if this is voice only communication.]

That's right. I woke up in the Team Rocket base in Goldenrod with a letter welcoming me to the team and two Pokémon. I had no choice but to obey then...

...So it's one of the jobs assigned upon arrival. For some reason I hadn't thought that was the case - just that there were the breeder and trainer options.

[ this is therefore a revelation to her. ]

Yeah. There are quite a few of non-NPC's in Team Rocket... while I could see someone like the idiot Cobra joining them out of his own will, there are a lot of us who definitely didn't do so.

[So his guess is that people have been waking up in Team Rocket for quite a long time.]

So if someone seems to start in Goldenrod, they're most likely one of the unfortunate ones.
