1 ♣ [TEXT/ACTION FOR GOLDENROD CITY + ACTION FOR THE ROCKET BASE]
ACTION
[Having grown tired of the sparseness of her room, Celes has taken it upon herself to investigate her new surroundings - in her regular clothes, of course. She's walking slowly, peering around the halls and taking in everything she can, eyes flicking back and forth suspiciously, as if expecting something to pop out at any moment.]
How mysterious....
[Behind her, a Gothita and Vulpix are pattering along, doing their best to keep up with their new trainer, despite the fact that she's ignoring them. The Gothita appears to be doing worse than the Vulpix (having tiny legs will do that to you), but she struggles furiously on, watching her trainer with wide, reverent eyes.
Feel free to interrupt Celes' wanderings if you happen to spot her - she'd be grateful for the information. Maybe.]
TEXT/ACTION
[It's later in the day, and Celes has managed to find her way out of the Rocket Base and into the heart of Goldenrod City. She's currently seated at a table outside a rather quaint cafe, sipping from a cup and idly flicking through the feed on her Pokegear. Seated opposite her, sharing the chair, are her two Pokemon, eagerly watching both their trainer and the small cake sitting in front of her. Celes hasn't touched her food, but is onto her second pot of tea, murmuring to herself.]
...it's perfect....just how I like it.
[Her appetite hasn't really kicked in since she awoke in her room in the Rocket base, so with a slightly repulsed look she roughly cuts the cake into two pieces with her fork and pushes the plate over to her Pokemon. They fall on it in grateful desperation. However-
Do try to have some decorum.
[Celes' words are calm and even, but her Pokemon immediately freeze and start to eat slowly, any traces of their prior frantic feeding completely gone. Her Gothita even attempts to use the fork.
Having dealt with her Pokemon, Celes goes right back to ignoring them and instead focuses on her Pokegear, placing her teacup neatly back in the saucer.
She's spent most of her day gathering what information she can from the citizens around Goldenrod and her fellow Rocket members - now it's time to see if this 'feed' works as well as she's heard.]
I have a few questions that I would appreciate answers to, should any of you be able to help.
1) Are any of you familiar with a place called Hope's Peak Academy?
2) What can you tell me about 'Gothita' and 'Vulpix'?
3) What exactly is Team Rocket's purpose? Should I fear them?
Thank you very much for your time.

[Those aren't her only questions - by far - but at the moment they're the most pressing. If she finds someone helpful she'll pick their brain, anyway.
For now, her tea is waiting.]

[He's starting to get depressed...]
It's not Alter Ego... More than that, I'm not sure that the pokégears actually have the capacity to support an AI to that level...
[His porygon is a different story.]

Fujisaki-!!
[well hell she didn't give a shit when she thought you were dead but now you're...you're not dead and she's trying to put up a classy facade so what the fuck kind of honorific does she use here?!]
Fujisaki-san...you really are alive, aren't you....
video 2/2
video
Um... Yes... [Whether to tell her she doesn't need to use that -san or not...for now he'll leave it.] I-it's good to see you again...
[He does mean it even if he stammers over it.]
video 1/2
I feel the same, Fujisaki-san; I...was so devastated when you...
[when you were brutally beaten to death by Oowada-kun and then hung up like a wet shirt by Togami-kun ;w; it was very sad
so very]
...seeing you again...I feel I do not deserve such good fortune.
video 2/2
[just don't start winning at gambling
then you're screwed]
video
[Chihiro are you apologising for dying and making people upset no, stop it. Never you mind that if he was anyone else from after certain events, Celes' words would give him room for doubt.]
We are pretty lucky to have been brought to this place. Not just because some of us...um... But anyway, it's pretty peaceful here.
video
...again....]
What exactly is this place, anyway? Are we still in Japan?
[If you say we're still in Hope's Peak Academy then she's just going to give up tbh]
video
--well, he's not the cautious kind, is all.]
No, I don't think so... This is going to sound strange, but it's actually another world.
video
I had thought as much.
[Let her just chuck a side-eye over at her...new pets over there. Right.]
...and these...creatures? "Pokemon", I believe?
video
[If you feel bad capturing them. A-ahem.]
They're really strong...
video
....hmm. That's strange - Fujisaki must have only received one Pokemon when he arrived. So why did she get two?
...maybe this 'Team Rocket' would be more useful than she first thought....]
I have been impressed with mine so far, I suppose - apparently she's a Psychic type. Whatever that means.
[lol sorry Beatrice the Vulpix, you're being ignored]
Are the eggs a good choice? I hardly want to end up with a bunch of wild animals....
video
[Because he's got a few himself. Though they're all not chatty at all. Ah well.]
I guess it depends on who and what type you're getting from others. E-either way, they're not like wild animals, so much. And they can be trained.
video
Please let me know before you try to do that, Vee-chan.
[As her nervous Pokemon nods profusely, Celes turns her attention back to Fujisaki.]
Ah, have you been training, Fujisaki-san? I hope it works out a bit better for you this time!
video
But when he look back at the gear's screen, there seems to be some resoluteness in his expression he'd never had a chance to show the others before.]
I've been training... together with these little guys, we've been working on getting stronger together. It's...going to be different now.
video 1/2
....I believe you, Fujisaki-san.
[And for once, she isn't lying.]
video 2/2
[....
well she was honest for a comment, it's not...too bad...]
video
Eh? N-no, I didn't think that about you at all, Celes-san...
But it's okay... You don't have to worry about me.
[Because he's tough! And he's found some self-confidence from his fellow classmates, as well as in training his pokémon.]
video
It's worrying, really.
...
well not really, but it should probably be]
I wouldn't dare, Fujisaki-san.
....ah, I should probably ask...is -san acceptable?
[She may be an asshole but she is a polite one!]
video
I don't mind, so whichever you'd like to use.
[Though, Naegi had switched from -san to -kun lately. Which reminds him, actually...]
Um... Speaking of that, you already know, right...? That I'm a boy?
video
[Fortunately she wasn't one of the ones who...actually checked, but she's willing to believe them...]
Although I must say, Fujisaki-san...you make a very pretty girl.
video
He's not sure how to react to hearing that... It. That was probably a compliment, right?]
T-- Thank you?
video
[....ok Fujisaki-san it is a testament to how utterly harmless you are in that she actually doesn't want to torment you further
it'd be like kicking a very small puppy
even she doesn't kick puppies
...
well unless there's $$$$ involved but-]
Ishimaru-kun and Oowada-kun will be bringing me to Violet City very soon - will I see you there?
video
Ah, Ishimaru-kun and Oowada-kun are? [He may be more concerned about how they would get along if he knew about certain things but uh. Right now all he's thinking is about that it's nice of them to go and get her.]
Yes! We'll all see each other here.
Take care on the trip, mm?
video
[She can't speak for her guides, but she will be fine ^_^]
I look forward to seeing you again, Fujisaki-san.
