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.

It's not that I don't miss home, but it seems like it would be petty of me to complain when I'm sure a lot of others have it a lot harder.

[ he doesn't know much about blind dragons so he can't offer much on that end. ]

If it's any consolation, they aren't blind anymore once they've evolved.

[He turns the camera towards the two Hydreigons curled up in a corner snoozin'. D'aw, isn't that cute?]

As for complaints... well, my only real complaint is that there are way too many people hanging around Goldenrod City and there really isn't as much to do competitively when you've gotten all the badges.

I suppose the fact that it's downright pointless to complain is the biggest factor, though I'm still endlessly annoyed with it. I'll admit that certain aspects of this place have endeared themselves to me after some time, but I'd really prefer to be able to come and go at will.

First of all, Deino are notorious for chomping on everything in sight. As such, you might want to prepare a type of gauntlet or glove that it can happily nip at. If it's comfortable and sweet when it evolves now, the chances of its temperament changing dramatically when it evolves is very little, which might happen if you don't pay any close attention to it. [ What would she give to have a non-sociopathic Hydreigon existing in Johto... ]

[ Wow this girl is really ~~hot~~ cool and handles her pokemon in such a cool manner!! ]

Actually I think it's really fun here, and I miss home a lot too. Oh, and for Ringo?

[ Haruka holds up her hands cupped together filled with ribbons and hair clips. ]

Accessorize!

_{[... Well, for all her reluctance to get into personal details in their first conversation, it's a legitimate question. One she can't blame Jeane at all for wondering about, especially in general. It's gotta be bewildering, getting kidnapped somewhere and finding that all the others in the same boat are mostly content, complacent. If she herself were just arriving now, she'd probably assume it was some sort of mass Stockholm Syndrome.]}

It's a little of both.

The longer people stay, the more they figure out that flapping their gums about how unfair it is that we can't go home is pointless.

And for some people this place is just flat-out better than the shit-heaps they come from.

[Hey, it's that blonde girl. She'd been one of the sanest people Blake had talked to when he first got here.]

Shit. That does look like Ringo. A blind dragon can't be good for much, though. You could get him a seeing-eye turtle.

Anyway, that's a good question. From what I've heard, a lot of people stop caring and give up. Some of them act like seeing anything wrong with all this, that what's crazy.

And some people, hell, they come from shit that's worse.

For me, reality doesn't smell like roses, but it's reality. You can't forget about it and go run off to play with fireponies.
