What sort of tools would be required to dismantle a pokeball? Has anyone else attempted such a thing? There's nothing quite like this device where I am from, it's very intriguing!

Oh, and one other thing, I almost forgot. Must one battle to obtain their pokemon? Some of them appear quite friendly, so perhaps merely offering them the pokeball would suffice? I'll have to do some studies about this, too….

So much to do, it seems. One hardly knows where to begin!

You know... I have no idea actually.
I mean, I'm no good at that stuff anyway, but I can't see any screws on these things even now that I'm looking at one more carefully!

And yeah, sometimes Pokemon just follow you.

[neverfinishanyth]

Indeed! And the way they shrink in size, with such an incredibly smooth motion, I've never seen anything like it.

[epitaffio]

Oh... That too!
But now I'm really just wondering how you're supposed to take it apart without breaking it.

[neverfinishanyth]

Perhaps breaking it is simply the cost of understanding how it works.

[epitaffio]

I guess if you're that interested, you can always buy a few spares once you've made a little cash.
You just got here, right?

[neverfinishanyth]

Yes, I have only been here for a little while. A few hours, perhaps.

[epitaffio]

That's what I thought.
Pokéballs aren't very expensive though! You'll probably be able to afford a couple in no time.

[neverfinishanyth]

Yes, they seem quite common for such unique devices.

By the way, how is it that your writing appears to be pink?

[epitaffio]

Oh, you can change that in your settings! Some people like to play with the colors or make them meaningful in some way.
I just went with my hair color for fun.

[neverfinishanyth]

I see! I shall have to play around with these settings later.

[epitaffio]

Have fun!
Oh yeah, I didn't introduce myself, did I?
My name is Doppio.

[neverfinishanyth]

And I am Leonardo!

[epitaffio]

Oh, are you from Italy too?
I don't see a lot of us in this place!

[He THINKS Leonardo might be a name in other countries too, but... surely not that many.]

[neverfinishanyth]

Yes, I am! Before coming here, I was staying in Venezia.

[epitaffio]

Really?
I'd been in Venezia just a day or two before I ended up here!
Of course, it's been months now...

[neverfinishanyth]

And yet, it's hard to forget so many things about such a place.

The smell, for one.

[epitaffio]

Aw, it's not that bad!
I've been in worse places.

[neverfinishanyth]

Of course, of course. It is still a very beautiful place.

[epitaffio]

Do you travel around a lot?

[neverfinishanyth]

No, I usually stay in place for some time. But I do a lot of traveling in between those places.

[epitaffio]

Really?
Is it for work or just something you like to do?

[neverfinishanyth]

A little bit of both. Sometimes the change of scenery helps when it comes to my work.

[epitaffio]

Oh yeah? What DO you do?

[neverfinishanyth]

I'm typically employed as an artist, and so sometimes I must travel in search of commissions.

[epitaffio]

Really? I thought it might be something creative like that.

And hey, maybe you could do the same thing here!
