[Legosi looms into view as the feed flickers to life. He's standing in front of what appears to be a small lot that had previously been for sale. Previous being due to the big "SOLD" sticker slapped over the sign at the front of the little pathway leading back to the house. It's a modest place, but what really sets it apart is the large side yard it sports.]

Good morning. I hope everyone is staying safe, under the circumstances.

[He's been keeping his head low, because Nope. He is DONE with giant birds for a while, thanks.]

I just wanted to let everyone know that I've moved. ...well, it's more accurate to say I've finally settled down someplace. I'm going to be living in Azalea Town, now. Though I expect getting moved in may take a bit more time with everything that's been going on.

[The grey-haired young man (he knows) sighs, scratching the side of his neck.]

Anyway, um...if you need me, this is where I will be staying. I'm still going to travel every so often, but I thought it was time to get to work on the garden I've been planning to build.

[With all of that said, he offers the camera an extremely small, easy to miss smile before cutting off the feed.]

Totally, I'd love to! It's a really nice little place! That big yard reminds me of my old place in Lavender Town.

[bigsadwolf]

It's going to take some time to make it really feel like home, but it's already nicer than the apartment I was living in back home. I couldn't afford much more than a very small place with little furnishing it...not that I needed much. I ended up liking it there anyway, since all of my neighbors were nice. That's going to be the case here as well, I imagine.

[forsaintcecilia]

Yeah, you're right. It's the people around you that really makes a home a home, huh?

What do you do here to make money? Do you battle much?

[bigsadwolf]

[Legosi shakes his head slightly after nodding to the first thing Kazuki said.]

Not as much as most trainers. Some of my Pokemon enjoy it, so I let them battle when they'd like the exercise...but I don't go out of my way to do it.

[Not that he's against it, it's just not as much his Thing.]

I've been working part-time as a waiter or a cook at whatever restaurants I come across in the towns I've stopped in while traveling. I used to work at a ramen place back home, so it's familiar.

[forsaintcecilia]

Yeah, same. I've never set foot in a Gym. My Pokemon that like to battle just spend their time keeping the inn's perimeter safe instead.

Is that something you really enjoy, or is it just something you're doing while you figure out a career?

[bigsadwolf]

[Hm. That...actually gives Legosi pause for a good moment.]

Well...I do enjoy it. It's relatively simple and easy work, but it's something I've gotten good at. To tell you the truth though, it wasn't my first job of choice. I had to drop out of highschool due to personal reasons, so for a while my main concern was making money to keep my apartment over finding more permanent work.

I'm not sure what I would want to do, if I had free reign to choose anything.

It would be nice to work with insects in some way, I suppose...but that's a bit niche.

[forsaintcecilia]

Well, there's no time like the present to explore! You're in the right place too! Bugsy could probably teach you all about jobs you could do working with Bug Types!

[bigsadwolf]

You're right about that. I'd been meaning to speak to Bugsy again anyway...the last time we spoke, he'd just beaten my team in my first and only attempt at a gym badge.

[And he only did that BECAUSE he wanted to talk to Bugsy...]

[forsaintcecilia]

Aww. At least you had to courage to do it! And he knows you now, so maybe it was a good icebreaker?

[bigsadwolf]

I like to think it was. He did tell me that I didn't need to battle him if I just wanted to have a chat...which is encouraging. I think I'm going to need a lot more training before I ever try that again.

[forsaintcecilia]

I'm sure he'd be willing to give you anything you need, for another bug-loving, Azalea Town-er!
