[As Winston's second day at sea starts, he feels the distinct creeping anxiety of his mind preoccupying itself with worry over what could be happening back home in his absence.]

[Normally, he'd try reading to pass the time and keep his mind busy from those thoughts- but Mom only packed him two books, and he's already read through both of them cover-to-cover multiple times by now. ...he started to realize somewhere in the middle of his fifth re-read of the trainer's guide that he wasn't actually working to absorb the information. By that point, he was just glancing down at the turning pages to feel some amount of productivity as he's stuck waiting for the cruise ship to reach Kanto.]

[Setting the books back in his bag, Winston opens his Pokégear, thumbing through its features until he reaches a text posting option. ...it can't hurt to put something out there, right?]

Hi.

Current events outside of my control have left me temporarily unemployed, seeing as I'm now stuck in a different dimension from my former workplace.

I know- we've ALL been there before... /endsarcasm

While I'm sure my coworkers will be understanding of the situation and leave my spot open until I return... I don't see that reunion happening anytime soon. So in the meantime: if anyone could point me towards a job listing in the Kanto area, I would appreciate it a lot.

Many thanks.

- Winston Zeddemore

Hey, you don't need to apologize! You're here now, aren't you? Besides the nice part about being here after we've settled in is that you can take full advantage of Venkman being rich now!

Also we came here on Christmas Eve and as fun as this dimension is, it wasn't exactly fun to be camping out in the freezing cold with barely any food and just a sweater to wear.

[Looks like this universe wanted Winston to have a fun late-summer early-fall vacation... but that doesn't stop his tone from remaining pretty dismal over the phone.]

I'm... I know you said not to apologize, but I'm sorry you had to go through that- and during the holidays, too...

[He sighs, falling silent for a moment again.]

...do you know where he's getting the money from. Because I wouldn't be too quick to celebrate about Peter's cash unless I know how legal that tender is.

Oh don't worry! It was kinda romantic cuddling up against Egon during cold nights.

[Romance = trying not to die, I guess.]

Oh yeah! There's a Pokemon that produces free money! I'm... pretty sure it's legal! I've never heard of anyone say that it wasn't legal, after all!

[It's fine don't worry about it.]

[yousayyes]

So Peter can just print money whenever he wants.

[...]

...and that hasn't singlehandedly wrecked this world's economy how.

[ghoststanning]

I dunno! But we don't gotta worry about going broke here so that's nice!

[Don't think about it Win it's fine.]
