isthedeadcat | 11. Preparations and the most irrelevant post ever, but that's Lion [Video/Action for Violet]

[The transmission starts with a little shaking and some purple gooey thing moving all over, before the camera settles. We are currently in the pokémart, and Lion is doing important stuff. And by that I mean shopping. There is also a Lucario with a shopping basket who seems to be carrying some of the groceries too.
A very happy "Ditto!!" comes from behind the camera, and Lion turns to look at it.]

Thank you, Ennis, and good afternoon Johto.

First of all, I wanted to thank everyone who assisted to the Ice Cream party, and also to those who had the thought but couldn't make it. The party wouldn't have been such a success without all of you.
It was the perfect chance to meet new and old acquaintances in person too, so I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I did.

I know it has been a while since I last spoke to many of you, and I apologize, but I was handling the last preparations for our departure. We are planning to leave for Goldenrod, and for that we'll take the road trough Azalea even if just to see the city.

If things go as planned and if everyone is fine with it, we should be departing next week or the following one, so if anyone is interested in making the same way and do not wish to make it alone, feel free to get in contact with me, I'd be glad to help, and traveling is much easier in groups.

Does anyone have any warnings regarding the road? I'd like to be as prepared as possible.

[For the rest of the day, Lion can be found shopping for supplies for the trip... It's actually a huge amount of supplies, as the group is bound to get kind of big.]

[OOC: All Seacats cast members who are still in Violet can assume Lion has already invited them to make the way to Azalea together. Everyone else, feel free to join in, since that's how Lion rolls.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Just small things. Sharing birthday dates, talking about what we like... It would be nice for all of us to get to know each other better.

[Uwoooing should be considered a superpower.]

That would be very nice, I'd like to get to know you, so far I think I'm justified to be quite proud.

I'm glad you think that way... We do have quite a bit of catch up to do, so I think it would be fun.

Can it really be called 'catching up'?

I don't have a better term to use for this situation, so I suppose that one will have to do.

'Get acquainted'? Or, well, something like that anyway. [laughs]
Sorry, I don't think I'll be much of a grandmother at this age, or when you look about the same age - I'd feel like I'm just being a bother! How does it work with Kinzo...?

I suppose what we are doing with Grandfather could be called both "catching up" and "getting acquainted" if we wanted to... Being in a place that can play with time so easily, those concepts can get really mixed up.

After all, it would be a little cruel from me to expect someone to behave as if they were a completely different person, wouldn't it?

Hmm, that makes sense, at least you know him from home, even if he's an old man then. But...I guess I never get to meet you.

Maybe I'll be grandmotherly in a few years [laughs] You can visit me in New Bark while I knit and force cookies on you~

Not knowing you back home only gives me more reasons to want to get to know you here.

Grandfather was never a conventional man, and he was fine that way... So I'd rather have a more adventurous grandmother, who likes going on strange trips in new worlds, than one who just wants to knit and make cookies. [Lion chuckles at the thought.] Though the cookies are a tempting offer.

[laughs] That's true, I don't think I AM cut out for knitting and baking! I'd love to travel all over and see new and exciting things!

[Considering how you were fathered, Lion? No, he never was very conventional, was he...]

And with how energetic you are, I think you will be seeing me settling down, baking and knitting before we see you doing it.

[S-sob, let's not even talk about that part xDDD]

Kinzo wouldn't be satisfied with that either, I'd hate to disappoint~

[Just sayin']

And with so much to do here, it would be a waste too.

["Be non conventional" is like the Ushiromiya motto xP]

That's true too! I'm actually quite glad we came here...there's so much to do and see, interesting people to meet, and, well, it's nice to be with the people you love, too.

[You mean "be crazy", right?]

I'm happy you arrived too... With all these identity confusions, and all the different Beatrices in this place, Grandfather was really growing jaded.

You two deserve to spend some fun time together.

[Crazy, non-conventional... totally the same thing.]

It really is confusing with Beatrices left, right and centre... It's one thing to have the same name, but to all share my face? I wonder if I should be flattered, or...

It is a little confusing... But you are all also very unique. I don't think that anyone would be able to get confused after talking a while to all of you.

Yes, none are the same in that regard, but still, it's pretty difficult. More than one person has mistaken me for one of the other two...

It's not easy... But I suppose that with time most people will get used to each one, and will notice the differences right away.

Hmm, fair enough, I would hope so, at least. I'm still confused about the witch, though.

Things are really confusing for everyone else too, so I can't really blame you for it.

That's...good. At least it's not just me...but not that no one at all seems to understand what's going on with her. [sigh] It's too strange.

She has a long and difficult story... I know a bit about it, but as it is hers, I don't feel I have the right to share it.

With time, I'm certain you will come to understand her a little more.

Hmm, I can accept that. I hope she'll share it with me someday.

But - of course you would know [she laughs a little], you're the kind of person everyone goes to with their problems or trusts with their secrets, aren't you?

[or maybe you are her in another timeline, whatever, same thing]

[S-sob, grandma xDDD. Lion chuckles a little at that.] I always try to help people when possible, but in the case of Beatrice, it wasn't her who told me of the story...

[Are we getting a headache yet? XD]
