A - Morning

[The screen opens up to a calm peaceful scene focused on the window of a hotel room and the.... giant Golurk plush that is seated contemplatively by it. Seriously, this thing is- huge. Enormous. Not as big as the real deal, but larger than most children. And maybe some people in general. It's even wearing a t-shirt depicting a Jigglypuff and a Wigglytuff flexing, with the words WORKIN' MY PUFF INTO TUFF written in bright pink letters.]

[A shiny Absol is napping under one of its arms, with a plush hand resting on its head.]

[Of note: a sketchpad with words in sharpie written on it that has been propped against the Golurk plush.]

I AM BILLY-BOB THE GOLURK.
YASH AND I HAVE COME TO SIGHT-SEE KANTO.
ALSO
HOW WELL WOULD A LONE ABSOL FAIR AGAINST ALL THE GYMS?
WE ARE VERY COMPETITIVE.

[The camera stays focused on the pair for a few moments, just so people can take in the scene and the words written on the sketchpad, before clicking off.]

[Please let Billy-Bob know your answers.]


B - Afternoon

[Later, after she's had a bit of fun, Dee turns on the 'Gear to make her own post to the network. That strangely familiar face pops up again, all smiles as usual, and the background hints she's in some sort of cafe. Has she gotten a pumpkaboo spice latte? Absolutely. They seem all the rage, and she's curious, so sue her.]

[But pumpkaboo spice lattes aren't what she wants to talk about.]

Halloween! Samhain. Dia de los muertos. Zhong Yuan Jie, sometimes. Totensonntag. All Souls Day. Chuseok. I could keep going but then that would just be me showing off.

The point is, this is around the year when a lot of holidays surrounding the dead start to pop up. Probably something about the atmosphere- all that bright green foliage fading away bit by bit, the air getting cold, the night coming sooner... I guess it makes people think about the inevitable.

While Halloween seems like it's just as popular here like in a few other places, do you guys have any plans to celebrate something different? Pay respects to the dead you knew? Although, considering how this place is, that could get a little awkward...

And if you're not in the mood for that- how have you all been doing? I've been prepping for the cold weather the past month. I mean, t-shirts and jeans aren't exactly winter wear, ha ha!

...I'd like that. Maybe we could go and win carnival toys together - one of my Pokemon likes the prize I won at the Obon festival, so perhaps the others might like something too.

I’ll have to give you a ring when I get there, then. It’s Goldenrod, so they have to have some pretty cute toys, right?

[cyan_maid]

I guess so! I haven't gotten there to see it myself yet.

Where have you been checking out while you’ve been in this place, then? If you don’t mind me asking.

[cyan_maid]

Well, I've been to New Bark, of course, and Cherrygrove, and Violet City...Ecruteak for Obon, and Olivine for a little while, since that's where everyone was when I arrived. So that's not very many places, but it's still a fair amount in my opinion.

[oldestfriend]

Oh, were your friends over in Olivine for the gym, or just hanging out? I keep meaning to drop by over there...

[cyan_maid]

I think they were just spending time over there, I'm not sure if any of them challenged the gym proper. Actually...I don't think I ever asked why they were so far out. It was very nice there, though.

[oldestfriend]

Sometimes that’s all you need. I mean, there’s no rush to enjoying this place, right?

[Video/Private]

[cyan_maid]

I hope there isn't. I...I'd like a lot of time to get to know it. As much as I can get.

And first step to that: carnival prizes!
