[ as the device's screen turns on, you're treated to the sight of two ralts. they don't seem to be doing anything in particular, but that's enough to inspire makoto to pull out of her device. this thing takes pictures, right? she's not entirely sure, but if it's a phone, it's gotta have that kind of function!

so while she fiddles with her device, inadvertently turning it on, she calls out to another person. ]

Hey, Ryo! Ryo! Look! They're cute, aren't they?

[Another voice gives a light giggle at Makoto's excitement. When she's excited like this, even Ryo can't stay worried about their predicament!]

You really like them, don't you Makoto-san...? Though, to be honest, I think they're more "cool" than "cute".

Really? [ no, they definitely look cute to her. she stares a bit longer, before quietly deciding to herself that they're definitely more "cute" than "cool". but more importantly... ]

Oh! I think this is recording. [ uh... whoops? she turns her device so it's facing ryo, figuring they should give their audience something more than two cute pokemon rolling around. ] Um... quick, say something!

Eh?! Why me?!

[Ryo's shocked face takes up the entire screen. What do?! All right, back up back up... Okay, much better. Well, "something" was kinda vague, and arguing with Makoto is something Ryo doesn't want to do, so... A greeting, maybe? That's pretty basic. Time to flash a bright smile!]

Umm... H-How do you do? I'm Ryo Akizuki. I'm an idol from 876 Productions, though I don't think it really matters right now... With me, is, um... [Ryo tries to discreetly whisper, though it's pretty audible.] Makoto-san, maybe you should say something too?

[ at those words, maktoo turns the camera around so that she's the one on screen now. ]

I'm Makoto Kikuchi, from 765 Production! If I have any fans here, I don't mind giving autographs! [ she laughs a bit as she says it, making clear that she's just joking. she's hardly that popular yet. ] But anyways... it's nice to meet you!

[ she nods, satisfied by the message, before turning back to Ryo. she thinks the message has ended now, though obviously it hasn't... ]

That was good, right?

[Ryo nods, satisfied.]

Yes! You're amazing as always. [Though anything Makoto does is amazing to Ryo---] Hm? It looks like... you might have left it on.

Eh? No, I made sure I... ack, you're right!

[ makoto fumbles around with the device a bit before finally, this time successfully, turning it off. ]

[ a sigh of relief. she just shakes her head vehemently, knowing it's definitely not talim's fault. ]

It's okay! It's my fault. It's just... [ a nervous chuckle. ] I'm not good with bugs.

[ obviously. ]

It's okay- everyone has something.

What do you like?

Oh, hm... [ what would be a good way to answer that?

well, with the image of bugs still going around in her mind, there's one thing she can think of to push it out. ]

Stuffed animals? [ her answer is a bit cautious, since she recognizes that's a bit... out of character for her. but still... ]

Nothing wrong with that.

[ she ducks off-screen a moment, and comes up with her Emolga cradles in her arms. He's a little shy, and sort of cautiously peers at the screen. ]

[ oooh! her reaction to emolga is clearly different, as her eyes light up a bit as she moves closer to her screen. ]

Ah, that's a really cute one! Hi!

This is Sanput.

[ Sanput sort of squeaks out a hello, then nervously clambers onto the top of Talim's head. ]

Ah, he's shy. But there are a lot more pokémon out there that you'll probably like!

Yeah, it looks that way!

[ that might be what she's most excited about, now that she thinks about it... ]

This place is really great. We didn't have animals like this back home.

My home doesn't have anything like them either. It's certainly been an experience!

Oh, do you have badges already? Have you fought the Gym Leaders?

I'm up to five badges! I'll be making my way to get my sixth very soon.

That's really cool! I don't have any yet. [ ... ] Oh, I guess that was kind of obvious, huh?

No worries! I'm sure you will soon enough- you just have to train hard. I'd also recommend an electric-type if you're going to take on Falkner first.

Electric type... [ she doesn't really understand, but that sounds cool to her. ] Don't worry, I'm pretty good at training. I know aikido. [ yeaaaah not really related, but still. ]

Ah, you fight? How interesting!

Um... [ oh right, should she be talking about? it's not very lady like... ]

A little bit!

Mm. I've found that's helped me in training my pokémon a lot, because I train with them.

Oh! I was thinking of doing something like that too! Does it really help?

I think it does!

Getting stronger together... it's just like a manga.

Just like a what?

You know, a manga! [ she waves her arms a bit excitedly and...

no, after a moment, she realizes that doesn't help make her point at all. ] It's a story book. With pictures.

Oh, I think I see!

...do they not have those here?

I suppose I wouldn't know. It's not something I've ever looked for.

I'll look then, and let you know.
