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.

Comments

[failures]

[Larry can definitely relate on that last bit. It's hard when friends from home go back home.]

I just remember how many awesome people I've met here, Pokemon included, and how it'd suck to have to say goodbye to them too. We'll get to be back home someday, but who knows if we'll get to see our new friends again, y'know?

[snapandscoot]

Oh, when you put it that way, we'll be losing friends either way!

[[LARRY.............]]

I've never thought about it like that! How horrid!

[failures]

[What did he make it worse? Oops!]

Yeah, it didn't hit me for a while either. Johto's pretty horrible to us like that.

[snapandscoot]

[[WHEN SOMETHING SMELLS.....]]

So either way, we'll end up losing some friends. This is terrible! I'd never thought about it in such a way.

[[Larry how the hell did you make her go from happy and perky to traumatized

how]]

How do you cope with this?

[failures]

Uhh...I try not to think about it that much? A lot of the friends I've made here went home too so that saves worrying too...

[He's trying not to sound really pathetic right now but it's true.]

But seriously Emmy, don't let it take over your head. If it happens, it happens.

[snapandscoot]

...you're right. There's no sense in worrying about something if it's going to be inevitable!

[[Sort....of

close enough okay]]

You've been here quite a while, haven't you Larry?

[failures]

You got it. Just relish the present; it always works for me.

[Larry just stop.]

Yeah. A couple months over two years. I kinda feel like I should've accomplished way more than I have in that time, but oh well.

[snapandscoot]

Well, as long as you're still healthy and happy, I believe you could consider that a bit of an accomplishment!

[[You seem like the....kind of klutzy sort, Larry, although she's not sure why she's getting that vibe...]]

You're collecting the badges, correct? Have you got any of the Kanto ones?

[failures]

[Believe it or not but he was the only one out of the Holy Trinity to not get injured via ledges.]

I guess that's true. I've been better, but I'm not super sick or anything so that's all that matters.

No badges on the Kanto front yet. I want to do some more training before I take anyone on. I wanna be completely ready for all the elite teams.
