ladywithnovoice | Function (1) - Text/Action for Route 29

[Eventually, after punching Royce and a couple one sided conversations and getting the hang of battling before anything else, Red finally discovers her own 'Gear has a text function. She actually types a lot... It's just that none of it really goes through, every line deleted. There's so much to say, she doesn't even know where to start.]

[Well... Royce is on information gathering duty, as much as he hates talking with people, so she finally decides to go with something more mundane.]

I don't know who voted for all the rain, but I don't suppose anyone wants to let a lady borrow an umbrella? [A pause before she adds-] Or a pack of cigarettes.

[And because she can't help herself...]

As for these Pokemon, are there any kind that can sing? Or any more dogs. I wouldn't mind another if I could figure out where to find one.

[For anyone in New Bark or on the route itself, they'll be able to see Red along it along with an Electrike that's constantly chasing Pokemon out of the tall grass. They're both actually rather quiet, but she's quick to look up when she realizes there's someone else nearby. Well... Someone besides Royce, who's nearby as wel and who she's also keeping an eye on.]

[Royce no]

[Since Red can't say that, she'll just throw another Pokeball at his head. On the bright side, this one is thrown with considerably less force than before.]

[It goes 'bonk' quite solidly against his head, and he turns to Red before picking it up and lobbing it back to her in an underhanded toss.]

What did I do this time?

[She catches it and simply stuffs it into her coat pocket before typing out a response.]

People aren't computers, Royce

... I know that.

[It's just hard to interact with them in other frames of reference.]

It's... a way of looking at things that... well, it makes sense to my brain.

[A quiet sigh.]

Just be careful not to tell it to their faces.

I don't see anything wrong with it.

[He's not weird you're weird everyone is weird.]

Other people might.

[This is what it's like to interact with other people, Royce.]

Why?

[Did you think you were escaping the questions, Red?]

[Is this what Grant had to deal with? We're back to typing and deleting words now because... that's a question, yeah.]

People want to be recognized as people.

If you treat them like a computer
they feel like theyre not a person, just an object or a project.

Some people don't mind and some will think you're being rude.

We just got here. Let's try to play polite.

[Somewhat. But Royce was useful, so he was tolerated.]

... That's not what I mean by it, though.

[He's trying, okay.]

They're strangers. They're not going to to know what you mean.

[Sometimes she's almost not sure if she knows what he means.]

[He's sometimes not sure either, it's okay.]

... I... suppose you're right...

I'll let you know when you slip up.

Sometimes not with a Pokeball.

That would be appreciated.

[He only has so much skull.]
