this is rather odd!!
i had actually expected to be somewhere else
other than where i am currently i mean
dream bubble travel is not a precise science but i am usually much better at it
as in i normally go where i am meant to go!

although logically speaking if i am here i am meant to be here
it is just that i thought i was meant to be elsewhere
this isnt even a dream bubble

and while my new companion is very sweet i find that i am missing
everyone
since we were more or less all there just a little while ago
i am also missing my horns and my general biology
and i believe this woman is claiming to be my human lusus??
she is quite nice regardless of the fact i do not remember her
which i feel a little bad about so i pretended i did
and she gave me this!!!

i have not had to ask for directions in a very long time this is very nostalgic
so i hope i am doing this properly!!
if anyone can offer up more information that would be lovely :)

my companion and i will continue to get to know one another in the meantime!!
oh and this is aradia
megido
if that is important

That is yet another fact about Johto there's really no need to boggle yourself over. Some people return with memories, some don't. It's really hit or miss. Usually miss. And how exciting. Where are you headed? I could possibly give you directions that might make it a little quicker, and even assist you should you be too far out by the time the party is happening.

[[~~Mamma~~ Rose is totally willing to loan you Pokemon/come pick you up with Fly if need be.]]

It's okay, I am used to alternate timeline versions of our parties remembering different things anyway.

We are to go to Violet for Jake's birthday party! Cheria has instructed me to head to Cherrygrove and then go north for perhaps seven days. I do not know how far we will be by December first but Roxy and I will be leaving shortly as she is chill as a pineapple.

[ Aradia likes the phrase "chill as a pineapple" too much after having heard it all of once. It's not even an actual phrase, Aradia. ]

[[...chill as a...Aradia.

Aradia stop.

That's too cute.]]

Well that's good. Let's see...

[[She glances off screen, looking at a calendar on the wall.]]

It's the eighteenth today. It should take you three days to reach Cherrygrove. Add that to the seven...If you left today and kept a brisk pace, you should reach Violet by the twenty-eighth of November. So that would leave you two days before December first.

If you still don't make it by then, there is an extremely good chance that we'll be attending said party. Give me a call and I will be more than happy to pick you and Roxy up. Or loan you both quick Pokemon to ride.

[ Roxy's drunk colloquialisms =/= actual human phrases, but this isn't a thing she knows yet. ]

If that becomes the case I will certainly call you! Thank you, Rose.

I do not think either of us can ride our pokemon in any case, as they do not appear to be suited to that sort of thing. [ Gastly is sort of bobbing around by Aradia's head, anyway, which is apparently his favourite pasttime as near as she can tell.

Also she's. Not too surprised that everyone is pretty much ignored the list Eridan apparently made for the party because of course. ] We will see you there, then!!

Is there anything else I should know?

Wonderful, and yes. Very few Pokemon will be ready to ride at such an early stage anyway. Perhaps once they evolve, though you own a Gastly so you may want to look into catching a Pokemon for riding purposes. Either way, I have plenty to loan so it will be no issue for you. [[Yeah, most people just ignore Eridan to begin with so.....]]

Hm, let me see...aside from staple survival tips, not much! Once you hit Cherrygrove, check into the Pokemart there where you can stock up on supplies such as food and water. If you can, catch a water Pokemon as they are a constant source of clean water and therefor you no longer have to waste your money on it. Be careful of the forest outside of Cherrygrove as it can be a little confusing. You should be able to procure a map from the residents in the town before heading out, which would help you greatly...

[[Thinking thinking...]]

I will do so, then! [ She's even making a note of it in her journal. It's filled with pretty much all the handy tips anyone has seen fit to give her. She's scribbling down the part about catching a water Pokemon as well, and stocking up. It all seems pretty common-sense sans the catching Pokemon part, but then again she did spend plenty of time outside of her hive when she was younger.

Get map. Yes. ] I had not considered that a water pokemon would be capable of supplying us with water, actually.

As long as it's not a Magikarp. Until those evolve, they're pretty damn useless. But their evolved form is pretty useful.

Not a magikarp. [ Just voicing what she jots down. ] This world's rules are strange. Do they not know why we are here either? Or is no one native to this place?

No, there are natives but they have no idea why we're here either. As far as they're concerned, it seems like we've always been here? At least that's the feeling I get from speaking with them.

Does everyone have the same human lusus upon arrival?

Indeed. Well, those who arrive in New Bark. There are a handful that arrive elsewhere for some reason, who do not go through the same awakening ritual, but she's as normal as someone claiming to be your human lusus can be.

Does she forget us as soon as we leave her hive, then?

[ that's slightly sad. ]

I... [[Wow. She hadn't thought of that.]]

I don't know. I've...never gone back to see her. [[ARADIA WHY WOULD YOU MENTION THIS RIGHT NOW SHE'S KIND OF BEEN FEELING BLUE BECAUSE HER MOM ISN'T HERE AND NOW WHAT IF 'MOM' STILL REMEMBERS HER WHAT IF SHE'S JUST BEEN IGNORING SOMEONE WHO GENUINELY FEELS LIKE SHE'S HER MOTHER THIS WHOLE TIME WHAT IFFFFF]]

I had considered calling her again later on or such but if she forgets me that might be ill-advised.

[ SORRY ROSE BAD TIMING, BUT UH, SHE KIND OF LIKED THE HUMAN LUSUS. :( ]

Well there's no harm in trying. I don't know if she forgets you. I don't know if anyone knows.

[[IT'S OKAY. REALLY.]]

In that case I will give her a call when we reach our first city and see if she does.

[ and she will report her findings. ]
