[For a change of pace, the feed doesn't open up on Botan or even in the main room of the shop as it usually would. Instead, there's a small Phantump with a red ribbon tied to one of its horns busily scrawling at something with crayon while other Phantump huddle around the Gear evidently passing it between themselves to get it adjusted.

Eventually the first Phantump finishes what it's doing and holds it up. It's a note that reads:]

"helo hello my name is 朋"

[There's a pause, one of the other Phantump insistently takes the note from "朋" and scribbles something onto it quickly. The first takes it back looking mildly embarrassed and holds it up again.]

"my name is 朋 tomoe

my brorhers & sisters frensd friends told me for new years we need to make resoltueions resolushun plans for a better life

(yes we know that we are dead) :(

mama miss botan is lonely but she won't say she is so my plan is for her to make lots of friends!!!"

[A pause, Tomoe turns the paper around.]

"do not tell what my plan is please!!!! she is sleepngi sleeping and doesnt know we have her talkbox"

[How like a small child. The Pokemon sets down its paper and puffs itself up with determination before deflating and looking to its fellows. "Did I do good?" its expression reads, to which the other Phantump seem to respond encouragingly. The feed ends there.]

[Oh my, that's one of the bosslady's phantumps. A little smile dances on Rakka's lips at just how pure this scene is. And she'll just keep her voice down to a whisper for this.]

Hehe... hello, Tomoe. [wave?] I'm Rakka. I work for your...[ahem.] miss Botan.
