[The journal gets opened with a little gasp and...hello, Aerith's dripping water on her journal.

She also appears to be on the bank of one of the forest rivers, treading water. This is the kind of stuff that happens when you drop your journal in the river while being pursued by Teases. You have to go find it after it's been carried downstream.]

There you are. And now we're both soaking wet. I won't be writing on this for a while...does talking still work--? Anyone hearing this?

((ooc: Yes, this is my excuse for having Aerith be quiet during the Tease event. She lost her journal and was harassed by Teases for the duration. |D And this is also my declaration of slowatus. I still want to stick around with Aerith and not hiatus her and not be as slow as before, but I've been a little braindead with her in luceti (and distracted by job-hunting) so if responses are slow, then. I apologize beforehand. Hopefully this won't last much longer. Fingers are crossed.))

Really?

[l-lol EYES GOING WIDER although maybe she's just...misunderstanding...]

You mean, like computers that can show pictures of animals?

[Voice]

[nofancydos.livejournal.com]

Nah! In my world, we tame critters called Pokemon. Sometimes trainers can catch unbelievable amounts a' them, an' can't carry 'm around an' feed them all tha time.

I invented a storage system tha' transfers them inta data to be stored on a computer until thar needed again.

[Voice] ...this is just not going to make sense to her.

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

...So you...you do some funny business with a computer and turn them into data? They shouldn't be capturing so many if they can't even take care of them!

[Voice]

[nofancydos.livejournal.com]

Well, when ya gotta do research on 'm, ya gotta catch a lot more than tha standard six.

[Voice]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

Why can't you research them in their natural habitat?

[Voice]

[nofancydos.livejournal.com]

Pokemon get stronger when humans catch an' train 'm. An' it's best ta work with 'm anyway, catchin' is jus' an easy way ta keep 'm around.

They're pretty friendly critters and dun mind a bit!

[Voice]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

What kind of training is that, anyway? Like for a zoo?

[Voice]

[nofancydos.livejournal.com]

Nah, nah. They fight fer sport! Kinda like wrestlin' or somethin. Ain't my do personally, I'm no good at it, but it's real lucrative fer most kids.

[...THIS FACE. FOREVER.]

[nofancydos.livejournal.com]

Don't give me tha' look. Thar born ta tussle, missy, an' they enjoy that.

[Voice]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

It's not something I'm used to. [Not that it's unusual for animals to be aggressive, but she's having a hard time thinking of animals that are that and friendly and easy to train. And kids training them, and making money at it...? It's just strange for her to try thinking as okay.]

[Voice]

[nofancydos.livejournal.com]

I figger not... it's mostly harmless fun, 'till tha sour patches do somethin' ridiculous like tryin' ta catch them legendary types an' kill all a' humanity or som'n.

[Voice]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

... You're joking, right? [An animal that could kill all of humanity

whaaaaaat.]

[Voice]

[nofancydos.livejournal.com]

Whut, yer world's full of daisies?

[Voice]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

Oh sure, daisies and cactuars that can poke you full of needles. And plenty of animals are dangerous. But not that dangerous!
