008 Things Aquired - [text;]

[ossifragant]

So here's a question for all of you. What's the furthest you've been from home? Before coming here, I mean. This place doesn't count. I want to know how far people have traveled before coming here.

The name of the place you're from, the name of the place you like going. What your favorite city is called. Things like that.

I've always liked traveling. But I used to spend years in one place, even so. Always found myself drawn back to where I was born. It's one of those interesting things about people. I don't exactly miss the place, but I do find myself thinking about it sometimes. What it would be like if we could go back with memories of this place instead of forgetting everything.

So there's a second part of my question, I guess.

Say you go home, but you remember everything from here. What would you do with that information?

What if you arrived home at a time before the last thing you remember?

Why would they? It's great exercise, great fun, AND great money!

[ossifragant]

Yeah. You're right.

I'm sure you'll go home eventually.

[ossifragant]

Maybe you'll find a city that reminds you of home? I'm out here to camp along the routes mostly so I wouldn't know, but it's certainly possible.

You have a point there. Plus, they all clearly enjoy what they do.

And it's good to hear you managed to find a place for yourself here.

Sorry. I don't think I got your name?

[captainash]

Good thing, too, considering that Pokémon battles are omnipresent around here.

[sincereheart]

you're not staying in the towns??? aren't you going to challenge any gyms or anything????

[ It is very hard for Mimi to imagine someone willingly camping out. ]

[ossifragant]

It must keep them young.

If it turns out that the secret to live a long, healthy and happy life is to ask your dog to set other dogs on fire once in a while, they can sign me up any time.

It's Greed. Odd name, I know, but it's my name.

How about you?

[ossifragant]

We're staying in towns when we pass through them. I'm not interested in challenging the gyms, though I plan to hen I get back to Johto.

Mostly I'm enjoying the outdoors while I still can.

[sincereheart]

while you still can? that sounds kind of scary!!! does that mean if you go back to your world you won't be able to go outside anymore??? or what does that mean?????

[text]

[ossifragant]

Hell, yeah. That's something we can both agree on.

[ossifragant]

[Well, yes, that's what will happen but that's not what he meant. Whoops, Greed.]

No, no. Nothing like that. I don't want to travel during winter, that's all.

It's Yukio, sir. Yukio Okumura, in the Western order. Pleased to meet you.

[sincereheart]

oh!!! okay that makes sense!! i wouldn't want to travel in the winter either!!! at least not without a warmer outfit!!

[ Don't kid yourself, Mimi. You won't change your outfit until the next series. ]

[text]

[captainash]

Who wouldn't? It's cheap, it's fun and it's easy.

text;

[ossifragant]

The same to you.

How long have you been here if you don't mind my asking?

[text]

[ossifragant]

That it is.

[ossifragant]

Maybe it'll be a nice winter but you never know! So I'd rather get all the traveling I want to do out of my system now.

[in_praetego]

I think it's going to be a year pretty soon.

And you?

[sincereheart]

yeah you never know when the weather is going to get weird!!! in my world it was snowing in august!!!! have fun traveling while you can, greed-san!!!!!

[captainash]

And it's a good excuse to have hundreds of weird pets, too.

[text]

[ossifragant]

And weird pets that understand language to boot.

Four months. Not long at all compared to some people, but I've done well enough.
