PUZZLE 008 - [VIDEO/ACTION FOR GOLDENROD CITY]

[snapandscoot]

One year today! 

[[Good morning Johto! Today on the feed, you'll be being greeted by the sight of one Emmy Altava, standing with her index finger raised in the air, a smile on her face and Goldenrod city in the background. It's the 17th of December; exactly a year since she arrived in Johto, and Emmy is feeling rather buzzed about it all. It's like an anniversary of sorts!]] 

That's how long I've been here; exactly one year. Time certainly does fly when you're having fun, doesn't it? I mean, I still miss London, but I feel there's so much more to explore in this world even after being here as long as I have. I've made some wonderful friends, both human and not! 

[[With a flourish, she whips out her trusty notebook, pen poised over a blank page.]]

 So, everyone! For those of you that have been here a year or longer, tell me your favourite things about Johto! Do you still enjoy it here? Have you explored all there is to explore? What secrets or mysteries or puzzles have you uncovered? That question also goes to those of you who are newer, by the way! The Professor- [[-for a moment, Emmy's bright smile fades, before she quickly forces it back on her face; the Professor wouldn't want to see her sad, after all-]] -may not be here any more but that doesn't mean I can slack off as his assistant! 

[[Pausing for a moment, Emmy chuckles to herself.]] 

One year in Johto for assistant number 1! How terribly fitting.

I don't know what to talk about first here. Your questions, the fact that we've both been here about a year, or the fact that you're apparently a number one assistant.

[She chuckles warmly.]

That last one probably doesn't make much sense, but it was mostly your phrasing.

[snapandscoot]

Ah, right; sorry about that! It's just a little inside joke I have going with my boss and his apprentice.

[[It's a little silly, mostly because it's her spending her time riling a 10 yo, but he know she doesn't mean it!

...hope....fully...]]

You've been here around a year too, Twilight?

[friendyousohard]

I think your inside joke overlapped with one of mine. See, I named my starter after my own Number One Assistant back home.

[Irony! We loves it. She chuckles a bit.]

That's right. Just under a year and two weeks at this point. And I've barely even begun to see all that Johto has in store for us, I'm certain of that much.

[snapandscoot]

Oh, you have an assistant, Twilight?

[[This is interesting and relevant to her interests! You're obviously far more important in your home world than she first assumed.]]

What are they like? As wonderful as me~?

[friendyousohard]

Spike is... young. But he tries so hard to be mature for his age. He takes on so many responsibilities, even when I try to give him some time for himself. Not that he can't have his moments of immaturity or the like, but so often, he can be surprisingly clever and even wise.

He's almost like my little brother at times, and I think I can safely call him my oldest friend.

Sorry about the lateness; I've been on hiatus!

[snapandscoot]

[[That actually makes Emmy smile softly; all this talk of youthful assistants makes her think of Luke. Even though he's an apprentice, not an assistant! She's the number one, after all.

But it's still rather nice.]]

It's a shame my boss has headed home; I think you and him would have gotten along splendidly, Twilight. Did you ever meet Professor Layton?
