Who: ANYONE IN VIRIDIAN!

Where: Viridian!

When: First part of July

Summary: Mingle log for everybody in Viridian!

Rating: Possibly PG-13 for potential language

Log:

Summer is well underway, and Viridian City is bustling.

Particularly so, at the moment. A number of traveling groups are all converged on the city at the moment, entirely by happenstance.

Lust has been in the city for a bit of time now, enjoying the library and the forested scenery and leisurely training her newer Pokemon. She plans on taking on the Pewter Gym, when they finally rouse themselves to move on. And with Envy and Heather in town, as well as Boone and his companion arriving...all the more reason to stay.

There's certainly more than enough to do in the city, between the library and the battle clubs and the city's enthusiasm with sports. The library enough would be enough to hold Lust's attention...

Which is why she can often be found there, when not training or relaxing in one of the verdant, shady parks in the city.

I figured you would.

Sometimes she reminds me of you. She can philosophize the rest of us under a table.

_{[She picks up one of the straws and tears the wrapper off, poking it into her own drink.]}

I know I keep saying it, but I'm really glad you're getting to go see stuff at your own pace instead of having to get dragged around after me.

'Cuz you know you wouldn't get all this unfettered library time with me running around in the lead.

Always a good skill to have.

[He chuckles.]

I know. And despite me saying I didn't mind it, which I didn't. It is interesting to see more of this world. Especially since more apparently appeared while I was gone.

[He'll take his own drink.]

But yes, library time with you worked much better when you were younger and could be distracted by toy blocks much easier.

I don't know if 'appeared' is the right word so much as whatever passes for a government in this place finally decided we were safe to start let crossing borders.

_{[There had even been that one weekend they'd all gotten flown out to that place that was BASICALLY PARIS for New Year's Eve. They hadn't been allowed back into Kalos since then, of course, but it was pretty cool.]}

Eventually I just got too powerful for the toy blocks.

I could not be contained.

That makes more sense.

[Even for this place.]

They were no match for you. Neither were the dolls. Or any of the other toys.

_{[She grins, leaning back in her chair and gesturing grandly.]}

Now here I am wrestling crocodiles and riding unicorns.

Probably not the career you envisioned for me, but probably the one we should have expected.

_{[It's so fucking nice to talk about this place as though it's the world they were always meant to be in.]

[As if Silent Hill had just been a gruesome accident that they'd emerged from safely.]}

[It is. Honestly Heather's career choice was something that would have been incredibly hard and probably would have had to make him sit down and tell her. I'm sorry sweetie but you can't be or do anything high profile. Which could have gone so many ways, a lot of them terrible. Here...here she can be whatever she wants. And he can joke about things.]

No, I'm pretty sure I could see a future where you were wrestling crocodiles. The riding unicorns less so, but only because they didn't exist.

Now if you had become an accountant, that seems more implausible.

_{[YEAH, there's pretty much no way that conversation would have ended well...]}

Like I'd wanna become an accountant anyway. You know I always sucked at math.

[It would have either broken a lot of things or brought up the truth of silent hill...and broken a lot of things. It might have worked itself out in the end but well, they never had to worry about that. The cult stepped in and took the problem out of their hands.]

Yup, if you did. I'd have to start looking for the pod the aliens replaced you with. Giant warning sign.

_{[It most certainly had...]}

Wouldn't be the weirdest thing that's happened to us.

But yeah-- honestly back in high school, I didn't know what the hell I wanted to do. Thought about fashion design for a bit.

But never anything like this.

And I think this is better than anything I'd have done back there. Even when it's frustrating or I eat dirt falling off of Carousel or get my butt kicked by another trainer.

[He nods.]

It helps that even if you wanted to, you probably could still do something like fashion design here. I mean, I can still write here. There's just a lot more options then before.

And it suits you.

[So yeah, a lot better then the world where he's dead, and there was always the chance that the cult was still around in some way to try and drag Heather back into that endless nightmare.]

Heh, yeah, true...

_{[She doesn't think she's cut out for fashion at this point, not anymore-- but that's okay. Dreams change. Even just from when she first got here.]}

Either way... it's always good to know I've got that Dad Approval.

_{[She leans back in her chair.]}

Speaking of writing, have you been doin' any?

I know Hazel basically commandeered your laptop, but we can totally get you another one if you need it-- I make, like, way more money now than I did back then.

You do.

I have actually. Just notebooks so far. I've been thinking of getting another laptop actually.

But you should keep your money. You are travelling a lot these days and I've been writing without a computer for years.

_{[She holds up her hands.]}

Haha, all right, all right. If you insist.

But the offer's there!
