42nd Recipe [Video, Goldenrod City]
[Jane knows there's going to continue to be a flood of "what the heck was THAT" sort of posts about Prom for a while. Really, she shares the sentiment. But this is...she's got to do something, and she's got to make it known and make it count. Let people know she's on the case, whether that gives them cause to be relieved or makes them sweat. She's in her kitchen, a stack of local newspapers off to the side and a mug of coffee in her hands.]
Good morning, everyone. I...erm, if you don't know me, that's fine, of course. My name is Jane Crocker, and I want to say something about what happened last month.
[Her delivery's a little stiff, because she is nervous. A touch nervous.]
From what I'm hearing and learning about the events in the ballroom on the night of our yearly Prom...I'm concerned. [That's a very light way to put it.] It's become more and more obvious that Team Rocket was behind the events, in a plot to rob our hosts blind, and their methods were nothing short of deplorable, as usual. I already cannot abide while they continue to hurt and terrorize the people of this world, and this just furthers my resolve.
[A pause, a deep breath. Jane's hands tighten around her mug.]
Which is why...I've decided to make my efforts to counter them more serious. I can't exactly run something like that out of my house, but as someone who's completed her challenge of the Elite Four and as a member of the Aurora League, I've been given the opportunity to open my own gym, and I've decided to take it.
[Her face brightens a bit, and the nerves seem to ease. It feels so weird to say it out loud, but once it's said, continuing feels easier.]
I've already submitted an application and design, and I know it'll take some time for it to be complete, but I will let you guys know when we're open, because I'm not going to just take challengers. I'm going to take cases.
[She reaches over, and - oh, that's a very nice hat! On her head it goes~]
I can think of no better way to give back to a world that's given me so much than by working to curb the trouble Team Rocket causes its people. So, I'll be operating as an independent investigator, and once we're open, I hope you'll pay us a visit.
[Her smile, still warm, seems to take on a touch of an edge at the end. There's sincerity in there that goes both ways: one way to those who would want to push back against Team Rocket, and another way that stares Rockets in the face and says, "Come the fuck at me".]
Ah, but, for now I'm going to stick to combing the classifieds in the paper. Build up a reputation and all that. You guys have a lovely weekend, alright?

[Dimitri Will Remember That]
It is nothing.
Please let us know when your gym finishes opening. We will be sure to take the time to come and visit you, and perhaps celebrate its grand opening as well. Although.... May I ask where it is going to be?
[Dimitri would assume Goldenrod, but also, what if he's wrong?]
[Video]
Ah, well, it'll be in Goldenrod, since I don't want to up and move my whole house somewhere else...but also, there's warehouses down by the docks that don't seem to have gotten a lot of use for a while, and I figured if one's gone empty for a while, it's worth it to fix it up and...you know, fill it with surprises.

[Dimitri grins as he says it.]
We will be quite glad to make the trip back and see its unveiling.

Still, with so much happening, you must be quite busy. I will speak with you again soon, all right, Jane?
