[It is after Halloween, Abbacchio got two more Pokémon and frankly? It's getting to be a problem for him, Bucciarati, and also probably Narancia.

So. He has a question for everyone here.]

How does real estate work for people like us? [Meaning otherworlders.] Do people rent or sell to us or do we have to try and build it ourselves?

Mmmmmm...varies? I mean...Jolyne and I got a deal with our Gym being honest, at least if we're talking about location. But we had someone build the houseboat personally back when I worked in Whirlpool- came out cheaper that way~

[ripetuto]

Houseboat? People actually live in those?

[insidescoop]

Uhhhh...yeah?

Wait did Narancia never say anything about it!?! Really!?!

[MOM FEELS NEGLECTED NARANCIA!!!!]

[ripetuto]

Lady, I don't even know who the hell you are.

[insidescoop]

SERIOUSLY?

Not one of those guys bothered to mention what I look like!?

What was going to happen next time I dropped in, an ambush??

[ripetuto]

You're still not telling me your name, lady.

[insidescoop]

It's Carly!!

And I've got some words for Bruno! Narancia I can understand, but this is just..! Ugh!

I've been working on Christmas invitations to deliver!

[ripetuto]

Oh you're Carly--look, I'm not the social one here, don't blame Bruno.

[A beat.]

Christmas?

[insidescoop]

Of course..! I was setting up for a small family party! Just have to pick a location really...

Can you imagine how awkward that could've been if you still didn't know what I even looked like in vague!?

[ripetuto]

I'd have figured it out when we got there.

[Look Abbacchio does not give a fuck, Carly.]

Wait, family?

[insidescoop]

Well of course! [Carly beams.] Any family of Narancia's is welcome over~

And even if you're the type to get weird about that, we'd be offering anyway, because from what I hear you'd want to keep an eye on him as it is.

[ripetuto]

Can you blame me?

[Look Narancia is a good kid but also he needs supervision so he doesn't blow the goddamn car up. Again. Metaphorically speaking.]

[insidescoop]

Of course not, it's why I made the guess.

It does make planning a bit easier though~

[ripetuto]

Planning? For what? Other than the party, I don't see how me knowing what you look like is going to make that easier.

[insidescoop]

Honestly it just makes things less awkward. Planning-wise, knowing you wouldn't leave Narancia alone is what makes it easy~ I can assume a certain number of plates to prepare for~

[ripetuto]

Alright. If you're serious, let me know if you need a list of Italian dishes to make. Not fucking whatever they sell wherever you're from, actual Italian food.

[insidescoop]

Oh! Honestly I wouldn't even try buying from around here, it's the Sevii Islands. It's nothing but tropical resource here.

Though come to think, whatever Jolyne tells me about is going to be different from direct Napoli huh...!

[Oh, Oh, she should clarify.] American-Italian mother in her case- I don't know if she moved from Italy or if she was born in the States...

[ripetuto]

Tropical just means fish, so you're probably going to be closer to Neapolitan food than whatever Jolyne's told you about.

[insidescoop]

Oooooh~ Well that's great to hear!

Mmm, come to think I should ask both you and Bruno about ideas- I know the names of Narancia's favorites, but not a whole lot about how to actually prepare them...and while I'd love to share some Japanese traditions too, I owe it to everyone else to at least try for their own home comforts!!
