Figures he'd be asleep when I got here...

[There's a Tifa holding a Budew in one arm, the little pokémon makes a little happy noise at the camera]

Hey, so I made it to Azalea finally and turns out my travelling partner is in that coma thing. Nurse Joy says he's been like this for a while, so I'm assuming he's doing that thing where you go to sleep for a while and wake up and suddenly you're more knowledgeable about what happens in your future.

That is still happening, right? I don't have to worry about him, or anything, right?

[She gives the 'gear a skeptical look. Then there's some sounds and Tifa looks away from the camera for a moment.]

Also... [She turns the device and now there's a weedle and a caterpie on screen.]

These two little guys have been following me around since a bit before arriving at Violet. They won't go when I tell them too, but they won't fight my Johnny or let themselves get caught, what's up with that? It's nearly been two weeks! I've been leaving them alone but with the way the nights have been recently....

I don't know...

[She laughs]

Seems like you've gotten used to the place. That's good at least. You've got a good head on those shoulders. I'll definitely look into a psychic type, though. I don't think I had one last time I was here. I had a ghost type, though.

[friendyousohard]

Well I've been here almost two years, I very well should be used to it by now. Thank you, though. I appreciate the affirmation of my role in our little group.

[Her lips quirk up.]

That is to say, the smart one.

[premiumheaven]

[She grins.]

An infuriating role, I imagine. It's a good skill to have here, though. Good to know we've still got people who can keep their feet on the ground around.

[friendyousohard]

It's a good role to have back home too, even if it does drive me crazy every so often. I'm used to it at least. And at least a couple of my friends have a decent dose of common sense to chip in. AJ in particular.

As for keeping one's feet on the ground, we don't mention that saying around Rainbow. She was a flier back home and we try not remind her that she can't do that here.

[premiumheaven]

Ah yes, the ever troubling matter of having something important and so inherently you taken away.

Well, it's both a blessing a curse to find out that's still going on.

[friendyousohard]

My whole group suffers from that particular problem. We weren't exactly human before arriving, so...

[She shrugs. That really kind of says it all.]

We've all more or less adapted, at least. Which is something of a minor miracle, or a demonstration that you really can get used to almost anything if you have to.

[premiumheaven]

Oh! I can only imagine. It's good to hear you're all adapting well enough, though.

[friendyousohard]

Thanks. We do try, and the Pokemon are a big help.

What about you? I'm guessing by your earlier comment that this is a problem you're familiar with as well.

[premiumheaven]

Well, my first year or so of being around, there were so many people around. You got to really talk to a lot of different sort of people. Humans, non-humans, magic, peculiar sciences, ect.

I'm sure there's still a lot that will surprise me, but I've gotten used to the extraordinary...well extraordinary in my perspective.

[friendyousohard]

See, that's exactly the sort of perspective I've gained on this sort of thing, which tends to lead to me being a bit confused when people are so... doubtful about what others tell them about their homeworlds. I mean, liars and the insane exist, certainly, but at this point I'm willing to give just about anyone the benefit of the doubt.

[premiumheaven]

You'd think! But [shrug] some people like to keep a grasp on what they're used to. Change isn't always welcome.
