[ Oh, look, it's a Rinoa! She's standing in her hotel room, a mostly-packed bag on the bed behind her. ]

Hello everyone~ [ Smile and wave! ]

The gang and I are getting ready to head out! We'll be going to Azalea, and from there through Union Cave to Goldenrod.

And oh! [ Shift shift shift~ okay, now there's a Butterfree and an Eevee on the screen. ] Zone evolved a little while ago...he's already a Butterfree! Cecil wasn't kidding when he said they leveled up fast. [ Laughs. ]

And this little guy here [ nudges the Eevee ] is Carbuncle! He hatched a week or two ago. He seems to enjoy getting into trouble...I don't think he and Zell get along very well.

[ And back to Rinoa now. ]

Anyway, I probably should finish up....I don't want to keep Quisty waiting. Talk to you later, everyone!

[ Click! ]

[ Rinoa, bright-eyed, is sitting in her hotel room. There's a Growlithe curled up on her lap, relaxed, and an egg in the background. ]

Guess what? [ She waits a second or two—presumably for guessing--before continuing. ]

I got a job! I've been working at the PokeCenter for a day or two now, helping out with the patients.

It's not bad, and I want to save up some money, just in case!

[ She smiles at the camera, and then looks over her shoulder casually at the egg. ]

I've also got a new member of my team on the way! I'm going to name him Watts, when he comes—

[ As if on cue, the egg starts shaking and cracking slightly. She gasps and picks up the 'Gear, spinning it around so that the hatching egg is in focus. And then— ]

Char!

Aww, look at you, little guy! I think Watts is the perfect name for you~

Char Charmander!
[ ...If you can understand Pokemon? The newly-Christened Watts is trying to explain that she's a girl, kthx. Rinoa just thinks "he's" saying hi. ]

[ Hey, Johto! It's Rinoa again...she's strolling through town, but her main focus is the camera. Have a smile. ]

My friends and I arrived in Violet a few days ago. Since then, I've been keeping busy by working on leveling up my Pokémon. I mean, they got some practice on the way here, but I've got to step up their training if I want them to be their best!

Oh! And before I forget, let me introduce you to the newest member of my team...!

[ After some shifting and a great view of the ground, she manages to hold the camera steady with one hand and lift up a Caterpie with the other. ]

His name is Zone~ after a good friend of mine back home. I caught him on the way here, but I didn't really get a chance to train him much until now. [ The next part is whispered, as if it's a secret: ] I think Angelo might be a little jealous of all the attention he's getting... 

[ Said Growlithe, walking alongside the girl, gives an irritated bark—that's his trainer, thanks—in response to which the Caterpie curls up in fear in Rinoa's hold. ]

Oh, come on, you two—woah! [ Jiggle jiggle as she swerves suddenly, narrowly avoiding bumping into someone. The 'Gear falls out of her hands and hits the ground, turning off. ]
merlebleu: (|| annoyed ||)
[ Hey, have a mildly irritated Rinoa pop on your screens, with a young Growlithe napping off in the background. Her hands are on her hips--yeah, that's right, she's gonna yell at you. ]

Can I just say something? If someone's talking to you, you don't ignore them! Especially if they're just trying to ask you a question...meanie! [ She sticks her tongue out. Yes, she has the maturity of a two year old; how did you guess?

But that seems to calm her down, at any rate, as she seems much more neutral after that outburst.
]

...Sorry about that. I meant for this post to say that Elizabeth and I made it to Cherrygrove the other day!  We're waiting here for now.

[ Oh, and she also wanted to ask: ] By the way, how do you earn money here? I don't think what I have will last me forever...

[ private phone call to Quistis Trepe ]

...Hey, Quisty? [ A pause as she figures out how to word this. ]

Um...so I was talking to this guy who looked kind of like Squall, and he said to ask you about him. And then he wouldn't answer my questions...

What's up with him?
