snapandscoot | PUZZLE 008 - [VIDEO/ACTION FOR GOLDENROD CITY]

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.

Threaded | Flat

Congratulations, Miss Altava.

[...goodness, it's always an amazing sign when you get kittyface right off the bat, isn't it?]

This year really has been a pleasure, you know - and to answer at least one of your questions, I wouldn't say I've explored everything there is; at the same time, I find one of my favorite things about this place are the opportunities it's presented. I've been given the chance to experience so much more than I would have back in Amestris; it certainly has been quite the adventure.

Can I say that my favorite thing about Johto is "everything" or would that be ch-- okay...well I just realized that was kind of a lie. [People leaving is one thing he will never love about Johto.] Not everything but almost everything. I love the Pokemon, the people, all the things there are to explore... Which to answer that third one, no I haven't explored everything yet, even after almost two years. Is that even possible?

[A small chuckle.]

I still enjoy it here though. And I am fairly sure that I always will.

Hey, congrats! Making it to the first year's a big accomplishment. Now just wait 'til you hit the second!

There's definitely enough here to stay busy. I've been here over two years and I'm just now starting my Kanto journey. I'm still having fun here, but I've been kinda homesick lately. [Not seeing his friends from home for a really long time is getting to him.] I'm ready to stick it out, though. I've still got so much to accomplish!

[Luke has more or less holed himself up in the house since his trip to the hospital, but hearing how excited Emmy was over her anniversary was something worth congratulating her on. He smiles to himself as he answers the Pokegear.]

Congratulations on your one-year anniversary, Emmy.

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.

[A gasp, then a small round of applause!]

You've been here for quite a while, Miss Altava! Congratulations... I think?

[He's hesitant to do this video thing but it's someone else from London. So have a guy who looks like he never gets enough sleep, Emmy.]

I haven't been here nearly as long, but it is safe to say that this world provides far more mysteries than answers.

[He may or may not sound a little bitter about that.]
