text/action route 29

[dashdash]

S.O.S.

[Is that your Pokegear showing you have a message?]

this place is a mess.

we can't even get one city over.

[And another. And another.]

how are the roads clearing up?

is that don thing gone yet?

[Each one a single short phrase, as if hoping you'd pay attention and pick up if you get multiple alerts instead of one neat paragraph text, and minutes apart, as if all that time is needed to painstakingly check for spelling.]

i need to get to Goldenrod.

somebody fight me.

[There's only so much wandering and battling and begging for food she can take. She has a sense of direction of where she wants to go and what she needs to do, but with no way to get there, she's frustrated and bored and has no idea what the state of the world is like outside of Route 29 and New Bark Town. When's the world going to get put back together so she can have her Pokemon adventure?]

will what take

[dashdash]

to pony me

[callbacks]

idk im not a breeder
how long will it take for you to get to olivine

[dashdash]

i mean. i plan to asap when the roads get clear and after busines in goldenrod. i cant tell from the map how far things are. so its probably like 2 days right?

[callbacks]

its three days from new bark to cherrygrove so im thinking probs not actually

[dashdash]

no way
ive been here so long already its been days and im still on r29!! the distance is too far! everythings too far apart!! how do you make friends and keep them when everyones so far apart you cant see eachother!??

[callbacks]

use the internet??
jesus what year are you from

[dashdash]

its too hard! no one tells me thier email or phone number so i can never talk like this with anyone! i want to see them! go places and do all sorts of stuff together! you cant google friendship!

[callbacks]

oh my god
ok you should be seeing a number somewhere on your gear while youre having this conversation with me
got it?
that number essentially serves as both my email and my digits so just save it under dave strider
boom no google necessary

[dashdash]

i see it! friendship is amazing!
and me too! save mine! you can save it under 'my bffffffff Mafuyu Kurosaki♥'!!!

[callbacks]

pfff hahaha sorry but that particular position is spoken for a few times over
but sure ill save your info
which ones your first name the mafuyu or the kurosaki part
or rather which part do you want me to use

[dashdash]

not enough fs? but thats ok, just friends is ok too!!!

Mafuyu's my first name but Kurosaki is also fine. whichevers more comfortable i guess is how people usually choose

what about you? is dave ok? strider? pony mama?

[callbacks]

ill answer to any of the above but american custom usually has people calling me dave
ill call you mafuyu its fewer letters to type and i got less chance of spelling it wrong

[dashdash]

dave is nice and short i like it
its ok if you spell it wrong tho because if your talking to me i know youre talking about me

but soon itll be face 2 face so i dont have to worry about typing since its hard, i hate writing

[callbacks]

you know the pokegear has video chat and audio functions right

[dashdash]

i know! ive used them! but its always me standing around in the hot sun while some guys sitting in their goldenrod mansions with their lapdogs and mimosas even tho they got here the same time as i did its not fair i want to be there too!!!

if i can see them and hear them the distance feels so far. at least w/ text i can pretend

[callbacks]

huh
with the roads the way they are if someone actually got to town the same time you did theres no way they couldve made it to goldenrod already
are you sure

[dashdash]

yeah he said so himself. he wouldnt lie, right? he's my friend. friends wouldnt lie to eachother unless they absolutly have to

[callbacks]

i mean i dont know the guy so i cant speak to the dudes honesty quotient but yeah theres no reason to lie about something like that
thats weird though
oh well i guess thats one mystery well never solve until it doesnt matter anymore

[dashdash]

yeah. i gues when i meet him in goldenrod ill beat the truth out of him. maybe hell share his secrets for fast travle and i can get to olivine in 2 days like i said

youd like him, dave. he has a dimond pony

[callbacks]

what
here???
theres such a pokemon??

[dashdash]

dunno. back where he lived i think. but if theres one here i bet hed find it. or ill find it for him once i can get around faster and travle the whole world.

[callbacks]

man what kind of crazy tolkien fairy tale world did he come from to have a diamond pony
and how do i apply for citizenship there

[dashdash]

i think he said it used to be pretty terible. like child-eating levels of terible. but then he came along and saved the planet adn became a hero!!
hes cool, right? heros are so cool. i want to be one too.

[callbacks]

[Ah. Er.]

hey more glory to you
and to him i guess
heroing isnt really my scene so ill just cheer yall on from the sidelines
rah rah whos our lass its mafuyu kicking ass yeaaaaah
