[ The video shows Rin and his new partner, a Carvanha. There’s some good news and some bad news regarding Rin’s current state of attire. One is that he managed to grab his team jacket before turning up in Johto, so he at least has something other than his swimsuit keeping him decent. The other is that, well. He doesn’t have a shirt on.

Which one of those is good and which is bad is, of course, completely subjective. ]

Is it common for people to show up here without anything decent to wear? Because I actually have no clothes besides what I'm wearing right now.

[ The joys of being a Swimmer class: he has literally no underwear. Or pants, for that matter. Or shoes, either. But he does have a nice new pair of legskins, so it's not... all bad? ]

And some other questions. Is there a decent-sized pool in any of the cities here?

[ There's a slight hesitation before he goes on. ]

And about training Pokémon. I read the handbook, so I get why we have to do it, but... How are you supposed to decide what kind of Pokémon to raise? Or what the best way to raise them is?

[Shirtless guy? She is fucking there. But... There's something that catches her attention. Another guy looking for a pool? She does a bit of reading over of the other convos and grins, yup. Just what she thought.]

Heya! Name's Roxy, and I'm sure ya've heard already, but there ain't no pools around. There's the ocean in Olivine though.

And I gotta say, you're a lot more motivated 'bout all this than Haru was. So that mean you're a trainer instead of a breeder?

[ So the person who'd been mentioned really was Haru... he's not sure how he's supposed to feel about that, to be honest. ]

Of course, Haru doesn't get motivated over many things that don't involve water somehow.

[ He's (mostly) kidding about that, though! ]

-- You two have met?

Spent a lot a time with him actually, we're friends now. When he first got here, I wasn't doin' anythin' so I offered to give him a lift to Olivine so he could swim in the ocean. Flyin's a lot faster than walkin', but it still took us like a week to get there, most of it in the air unless we had to stop to sleep or eat.

[Lots of quality time with a hot guy. And of course this guy is even hotter. Who's to say Johto doesn't have it's perks?]

[OOC: ALSO. As a note, I'm still waiting to hear back from Ruin on Haru's current location. He might still be in Olivine if he chose to stay there, or he might be in Violet with Roxy if he took her up on her offer when she came back recently. So his current whereabouts are unknown to me at the moment.]

One whole week? I bet the conversation started getting dull by day three. [ but that might be... affection in his tone?? Maybe. Just a tiny bit. ]

-- That's a really nice thing to do for a stranger, though.

[ ooc: ahh, no problem! Thanks for letting me know o/ ]
