Fourth Jump. [video/action for violet city.]

[The weather was weird, sure, but Phi's always happy to be wearing short skirts sans leggings again, and she's looking far more comfortable in her video now than she ever would have during December, even snuggled in her winter coat as she was. With weather like today's, she doesn't even have to regret her perch of choice! Even though her perch is a chilly Glalie floating a few inches off the ground.]

I need a Leaf Stone and a Sun Stone -- I have the money to pay for them, and you'll get something for your troubles, too, if that helps.

[She seems to consider something for another few seconds, then directs her attention to the 'gear once more.]

If you have a Vileplume or Bellossom yourself, I wouldn't mind hearing about them. I'm sure Venus would appreci --

[A fwip! of paper being brandished interrupts her, and she sets the 'gear in her lap so she can inspect the offering. With the sun, it's easy to see through the back that it reads 'VENIS AND PHI' in crayon with the writing of a small child, and includes a heart.]

Close. This one here's a 'U', the smiley one. Remember? V-E-N-U-S.

[A determined hum fades as Phi picks up the device and shuts it off. They got the idea.]

I can purchase both stones for you and send them from Celadon, if you wish. It'd take longer for you to receive them, but as I have a 41% discount in every store it'd be less expensive than usual.

The cost for Leaf Stones was greatly lowered years ago, but Sun Stones still have a base price of P8000. As for the time it'd take... About two or three days, perhaps? I'm half expecting a sudden storm to fall on us, so I cannot be certain.

[ Rubs his chin a bit. It felt weird not having to go around without his coat on... Perfect bandanna weather. ]

Vileplume? Bellossom? The names of some of these things... [ Shakes his head. ] Teaching yours to write?

Indeed. Considering some of the past few winters, we'll surely be hit by great quatities of snow soon. Is your Gloom looking forward to her evolution?

I happen to have a Leaf Stone on hand. I don't have a particular use for it so I may be persuaded to part with it if you'll satisfy my curiosity and answer two questions for me. Nothing particularly difficult, I assure you.

You have little to fear from a few harmless questions. But very well, we have a deal.

What do you think separates a somebody from a nobody?
doubleornothing: (End game)

[personal profile] doubleornothing 2014-01-10 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Or perhaps, you simply haven't met a nobody yet. They're quite wretched creatures; doomed to exist yet not exist, craving hearts when they have none. They linger on as remnants of their former lives, a mere shadow, even a whisper, of what they once were.

Fate deals them a cruel hand, for only death may release them from the nothingness that poisons their every being.
doubleornothing: (I embrace the future)

[personal profile] doubleornothing 2014-01-10 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Not a title, no. An actual living thing. But as you're quite set on your definition of a nobody, I shall spare you the explanation of the intricacies of one. Let's move on to the next question then.

What would be the most drastic move you would make to accomplish your heart's desire?
doubleornothing: (Each move I calculate)

[personal profile] doubleornothing 2014-01-10 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
What a bold proclamation. Not many are willing to soil their hands with such treachery. Ideals like 'never-ending friendship and loyalty' are often quoted as the pinnacles of human valor, along with the desire to what's right and good, of course.

[ Lovely. ]

... I guess it's in them to learn a language. They can understand us when we speak, anyway. Never really thought about getting them to write stuff down.

Pragmatic and realistic. I quite like you. Don't be afraid to dream a little every now and then. After all, our presence here is living proof that the impossible could well be just a blink away.

Well, I am not so charitable to fulfill a request for free, but frankly speaking I was bored and in need of some entertainment. So the answer would be closer to the latter than the former. But I did enjoy our previous conversation so I took the opportunity to further engage you. I hope you don't mind too much? After all, the stone is yours. You need only tell me where to send it.

Excellent. I've always envied youths; the world is more of an open road when you're young. As you grow older you tend to lose your sense of wonder at what the world can offer you. Treasure your time.

Very well. A deal is a deal. You shall see the stone in your possession.

Might I trouble you for a name? We may speak again.

But she's not quite sure which of the two she favors yet? Since you requested both stones. I imagine it must be a difficult choise to make.

A Sun Stone it is, then. It'll be much easier to find a purpose for either of them than for a Dawn Stone, at any rate.

[He nods.]

The only other Pokémon that can use it are male Kirlias, if you favor Gallade over Gardevoir.

Newspapers, huh? [ Was that a jab at him being old? It was hard to tell. Snake shrugged his shoulder. ] I read it sometimes.

There might be, but I've no idea what it is. Other species have evolutions that depend on gender or evolutions from multiple stones, but only the Dawn Stone has both.

You may call me The World. I hope it's not pretentious, but I really enjoy observing the numerous worlds I've had the luck to step foot in.
