a kick in the teeth is good for some
a kiss with a fist is better than none

    [ VIDEO: AFTERNOON ]
[ The background of trees familiar to a certain town fills the video as Sakura remains perched high up on a branch of one. A bit of movement and there, finally the camera was angled on her. Despite the unsettling additions from Konoha, she seems to be in a pleasant mood. Finally having mastered her poker face, she leans back against the trunk with a knee pulled towards her chest. ]

A great deal of us rely on the PokeGear listing as a roster of those we know, but that's not the best resource. How many of you have been surprised at seeing someone younger or older than you last saw them? [ Or how many of them have seen the dead come back to life? ] The whole thing is unsettling when you think about it so I've given it a great deal of thought myself. When a person first arrives, they're already so overwhelmed with the situation that adding more pressure may do more harm than good. Wouldn't it be easier to assign an individual to speak with them to discover what they might have witnessed in their life to better protect them?

Well, I'm not sure about that myself. This world has a surprisingly low amount of counsel when it comes to problems of that nature. [ Is she just talking to be talking? Yes, but it's keeping her from being bummed out from other things. ] Anyway, I'd like to keep a roster of things for my own personal record so if you're an ally of mine from back home, do us both a favor and just tell me what you last remember.

[ Adding on strictly: ] In private. I'm not saying I'd be a counselor for that kind of thing, but it'd be nice to keep a personalized roster.

    [ TEXT: NIGHT ]
[ Sometime later in the day (likely after she's had several conversations with others), Sakura will sit down to communicate once more with the network over the PokeGear. While she's neglected the world of Pokemon when it came to her peers (she's too distracted with other concerns), Sakura makes up for it by studying the vast amounts of information there is on the subject. Most of the time this takes place before she sleeps, suffering from late night and short bursts of rest. This comes in later in the evening, maybe at a hour that most would be asleep. ]

I've been working on better balancing my Pokemon party, but I'm not sure who would make a good choice for the sixth Pokemon.
I have a Happiny, Blaziken, Audino, Petilil, and Joltik.
That means I have the following types covered: normal, fire, grass, and electric.
What would you suggest to balance the team?
I'd like to capture or maybe even trade for a new one since I've had to take care of a lot of baby Pokemon as of recent.
Although I do read that's even better in the long run so maybe I'll just hatch a new one.
Experienced trainers, what do you think?
I'm looking to win.

...honestly, the way things are done here was a shock to my system for the exact opposite reason... though, even in my world, that sort of thing seems to vary from country to country, and even then it's mostly done for recreation these days.

Well, I may have overstated it a bit-in most cases my relations with these people haven't been too unpleasant given that our conflict can only really be carried out in our world, but I feel as though it does help to clear the air a bit. Furthermore, I was discussing it in the context of your proposal; after all, people can't always be expected to act rationally, especially in a stressful situation like finding yourself stranded in another world-seeing someone who you consider an enemy could possibly make things a bit harder on you, even if your conflict with that person isn't strictly personal.

[ Done for recreation mostly? What is with all of these strange worlds where people don't have to worry about being rained on or something? ]

Yeah, that's right. People can't be trusted to behave rationally when they're given a stressful situation.

[ Especially people who don't even camp. ]

While this world is a peaceful one, it wouldn't take much for a war to break out here provided enough people showed up to cause one.

[It's called having buildings with roofs.]

Precisely. Even if no one can die here, there's no telling what some people would attempt if there wasn't an attempt to immediately prevent the conflict from continuing. Granted, it can't be guaranteed that there wouldn't be lowlifes who would perpetuate it anyway...

enjoymyatelier: i am just done with this shit (ugh whatever)
