begetsvengeance | 002 Video in Violet City Inn

[When the camera turns on, viewers will be greeted by an image of Jeane casually sitting down on her bed, with 1 mop top-headed blue dragon on her lap. Unlike the last time she used the damn gear, she's actually dressed sensibly for a change. Shocker, huh?]

You know, when I bought that Deino egg a few weeks ago I really didn't know what to expect. However, this...

[She gestures to the dragon on her lap, scratching it on its head.]

-wasn't something even I'd consider. Seriously, this thing looks like a crossover between Ringo Starr and a dog, with some lizard bits sprinkled in for good measure. If I wasn't a fan of the Beatles, I'd probably be angry.

But I'm not. Even named him Ringo for good measure. Hopefully he grows three more heads when he evolves so we can have the whole band.

[She puts him down on the ground, watching him for a few seconds as he walks off screen before turning her attention back to the camera.]

Anyway, now that the update all the "cool kids" do is out of the way, I can get to the main point of this message. I've been in this place for about a month, give or take. During that time I've been watching the network. People give updates like the one I just did all the time, telling us about shit we really don't care about, yet the one thing I never see is people complaining about this place.

We're taken from our homes to order a bunch of animals from a video game around for no apparent reason, yet I can count on my right hand the number of complaints I've heard, not counting newbies. So that got me thinking, why is that? Is it because bitching about our situation is pointless? Or...is it because back home just flat out sucks.

[A smile creeps across Jeane's face as she shrugs.]

Dunno why I'm so curious all of a sudden. Maybe I'm just up for a game of "if you tell me yours I'll tell you mine". It's probably the boredom sinking in, but feel free to enlighten me either way, I'll be sure to return the favo-

[Right before she finishes talking, Ringo appears behind her on screen yet again and...walks right into a wall. This must happen a lot, since Jeane just pinches the bridge of her nose and looks disappointed as the scene unfolds.]

...also tips on how to raise a blind dragon would be appreciated. Thanks.

What I don't get is how they reached such advanced technology when this whole place seems to be lacking in serious education. What, is there some secret college for brainiacs that nobody ever talks about?

[And yes, having fun things to do definitely would ease any tedium. Some cities have attractions, but it never hurts to have more options.]

As for hobbies and activities... Well, I know Saffron's got a concert hall, and Fuchsia city's big on movies these days. I know Ecruteak's got a dance theater and Goldenrod's probably got at least a handful of arcades, plus its baseball stadium.

Yeah, and it's probably related to that mysterious meat-packing plant.

[Seriously, this place is pretty mysterious.]

Well, that's a pleasant surprise. And out of those places, which is closest to Violet City?

Or Pallet Town's fishery...

[Because, seriously, where do they catch the fish that aren't Pokémon?]

Anyway, if you're looking for something close, Goldenrod's probably your best bet. It's Johto's biggest city, so you're bound to find at least something to do. Ecruteak's also pretty close, but it's a bit on the quieter side.

Goldenrod, huh? I'll be sure to keep that in mind. If nothing else, it'll hopefully be able to keep me entertained for a little while.

Hey, as long as you aren't stuck there for six months, you'll probably be okay. Goldenrod's not bad in small doses, but I don't know if I'd want to live there.

[But that's his oldbie bias talking more than anything. He's even harder on Violet City.]

I'm not really the kind of girl who sticks around anywhere for long, so that won't be a problem.
