W1LL TH1S WORK TO G3T BLOOD OUT OF CLOTH1NG OR W1LL 1 N33D TO G3T 4 D1FF3R3NT PRODUCT FROM TH3 N3XT TOWN?
[Here she's attached a photo of the standard bottle of liquid soap that comes with the backpack.]
B. action
[If anyone's on the lookout for newbies, Terezi can be spotted sitting by a flowerbed next to "Mom's" house. She doesn't look any less human than anyone else here, at least at first. Though her ears have a bit of a point, they're hidden by her black hair, and the sharpness of her teeth is concealed by her pursed lips as she taps away at her Pokégear. No, if there's anything to raise concern, it's the fact that she looks like she's had a bad accident with some paint, or perhaps smashed a box worth of Grape-Berry Double Homicide Gushers against herself. Teal and purple mar her shirt and even stick to her face and arms in places.]
[It doesn't really smell like paint, or the corn syrup-laden fruit approximant of candy, either. It's dry by now, but one might recognize the smell of blood.]
[Her starter isn't far: a Gible wanders about the flowerbed proper, occasionally casting a concerned glance back at her new trainer in between devouring whatever blooms might remain at this time of year. She'll settle for withered stems, too; she ain't picky.]

Sixteen, though...gosh, okay, that's not too bad.
Considering this world's age of "you're totally okay to go be out on your own in the wilderness with wild superpowered creatures" is ten, you should be fine.
Just don't eat the berries you find on your travels, they're...not good for people to eat raw. Pokemon can eat them, but unless they're prepped carefully, they make us sick.

But then again, I don't think many of them spring up here, since bugs are also Pokemon, and outright eating Pokemon seems to be a taboo subject. Byproducts are fine, but you aren't necessarily going to know what's in a tube-loaf of bologna, for example.
Oh! That is a very generous offer, thank you!
I would actually quite like that! Though I'm certain there will be things about the Troll experience that I won't be able to quite wrap my head around.

Well, human bologna is like...pork all ground up with seasonings and then formed into a loaf, and then...boiled I think? And then it's sliced very thin and used as sandwich meat. I'm not actually very partial to it, and I don't know what this world's equivalent would even be made of.
Maybe the fallen-off tails of Slowpokes? But there's a whole town here that'd have a conniption if you even suggested that.
[What, Slowpoke tails do look like bologna]
I will do my upmost to be respectful, then!
