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.]

I haven't even heard of a breeding center.

There's a breeding center in Goldenrod that you can buy eggs from! There's a foster home too, but I haven't visited it yet. You can just call them if you want something and they'll send it over to you.

[And he's going to drop Red the number for convenience before continuing.]

If you're new here you can get an egg for free! That's how I got my Buizel, Lucky.

[That... does sound handy. She's never really raised anything before, and certainly not from an egg, but... Well. Why not try it out?

Thanks.

I'm Red.

No prob! My name's Jimmy.

..Yaknow, I got an Electrike too, when I first got here! He's evolved since then, but he's really great.

[NOW we're talking about how great Electrike/Manectric is.]

Luna's been a good girl so far.

What do they look like when they evolve?

Hold on, lemme show you!

[Have a picture for reference, Red.]

[Jimmy, you are endearing yourself greatly to her. She takes a look at the picture, and let's Luna take a look at it too.]

It'd fit in at home.

My
travelling buddy is supposed to be asking around, but I don't suppose you know how to get back?

This doesn't look like The Country.

[He tries.]

No, I'm sorry! People come and go here a lot, apparently...and nobody really knows why. So you guys are prolly stuck here for a while. Or maybe not, who knows.

Where do they all come from?

All sorts of places. Like me, I'm from a town called Miseryville!

[Places outside of Cloudbank... That's really something new to consider.]

You don't sound like it.

Aw well, it's not really as bad as it sounds, honest!

[Jimmy's not a good indicator of how it is actually, either.]

Why the name then?

Was it named after someone?

No, it was named Miseryville cause our leader, Lucy- or, well, Lucius- his job is to make everybody in town as miserable as he possibly can.

[You get a very lengthy pause for that, Jimmy.]

It sounds that bad when you put it like that

Yeah, I know it does. But it really isn't so much, honest. I guess it's kinda hard to believe unless you've lived there before.

[Or unless you're, you know. Jimmy.]

Was he bad at making people miserable?

Edited 2014-07-08 05:36 (UTC)

[WEEELL..]

Well, he wasn't always the best...but he was pretty good.

[Sorry Jimmy but Royce just noticed this conversation.]

his job was to make everyone in town miserable? fascinating! fascinating indeed! why was that, or is that something you were unable to determine?

[Oh goodness hello there! Jimmy doesn't mind it one bit, and answers with as much enthusiasm as one can convey through text.]

Yaknow, I don't really know to be honest! He comes from a really long line of Heniouses, so his dad ruled before him, then his dad's dad, then his dad's dad's dad...

So Lucy is actually the 7th ruler Miseryville has had!

really? how interesting!

did he serve other functions aside from that, or was he more single-target in function?

[He's just trying to figure out if he's related to something like the Process.]

[Royce no stop Royce people are not computers.]

[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.]

[Jimmy's going to like you two- he can already tell.]

I think Miseryville is kinda far from this place anyway, so you prolly won't have to worry about that.

So where are you from?

Cloudbank. It's the only place I've ever known.
