-- winter? Last time I checked, it was spring. Not that you'd be able to tell in Ashland-- rainy day central.

[Blip. Looks like it's that time again, Route.

The 'gear is focused on a pair of feet, clad in bright yellow rain boots, attached to a pair of ridiculously spindly legs. Glimpses of white claws can be caught at the screen's edges as the 'gear

[psychunaut]

No fair! You started somewhere else! [Raz said, over the 'gear, his goggles firmly over his eyes. Also, your Pokemon already looks more useful then the Slowpoke who's back to holding his 'gear. In mid-air. Which isn't visible, if you weren't on Raz's side. Well, you might be able to tell that something's up by the fact he's holding his own egg in his arms, which any good Pokemon nerd would be able to tell was a Ralts egg.

Yes, Raz hasn't left Team Rocket base yet.]

[video get!]

[exp_loraline]

[She just blinks confusedly at the 'gear for a moment, glancing briefly at her Sneasel. The Sneasel glances right on back and rolls his eyes. Coraline folds her arms over her chest, frowning.]

Well, so-rry I got dropped off in Wackoland in an area different than yours! [HMPH.

... But she quickly loses the sarcasm; she's not gonna make many friends being snippy, as her mom always said.] Look... I don't even know where I am, okay?

[video]

[psychunaut]

Neither do I! I just know I've become a villian! [Raz is also not in a good mood. Damnit, he's meant to be saving camp, not... being in Team Rocket and stealing things.] And I can't go back home yet, either!

[video]

[exp_loraline]

Yeah, it's like...

... Wait-- Become a villain...? [She raises an eyebrow.] How do you become a villain without knowing it?

[video]

[psychunaut]

Whoever brought me here put me into 'Team Rocket', [Yes. There are air-quotes.] and they kidnap these Pokey-creatures and other villian-like things. [:|]

[video]

[exp_loraline]

So... you got kidnapped to... kidnap other things. [Head tilt. The Sneasel looks a little irked at the mention of Team Rocket, giving a small growl.]

Well... Do you want to do villain-y things?

[video]

[psychunaut]

[Raz isn't sayng he understands it either. But him? A villian? Of course n--]
Of course not! That's not what the Psychonauts stand for! But I'd better take advantage of the free pass to find out about them!

[video]

[exp_loraline]

[She thinks that over for a moment, and eventually grins.] Yeah. That's pretty smart-- you can take 'em down from the inside! [She doesn't know much about this world, but no matter how she looks at it, kidnapping is just all-around wrong.]

... Wait, did you say "psycho-nuts"...? [8|]

[video]

[psychunaut]

No! I said PsychoNAUTS! The coolest group of psychics ever! [How do you not know about then. :| This is clearly more important then taking down Team Rocket.]

[video]

[exp_loraline]

[....?]
Never heard of 'em.

[But she's intrigued!] So... does that mean you're a psychic?

[video]

[psychunaut]

Only part of the best group of psychics ever! The Psychonauts are the coolest guys out there! They go into peoples minds and save them from their own emotional trauma and insanity! And I'm one of them! [oh so giddy. even if he's technically lying. he's in-training, not a real one.]

...But this stupid place robbed me of my powers. [And now he is back to frowning. if only he could use his awesome powers, team rocket would be outta here so fast]

[video]

[exp_loraline]

[She just stares, wide-eyed. She's not sure if she should either be ridiculously intrigued or slightly weirded out. ... Maybe both.]
Riiiiight... Got it.

... Huh. So you can't prove you're a psychic then. [Smirk.]
Well... I guess that's why I never would've heard of 'em... I'm not a psychic. [MORE SMIRKING.] I'm an explorer. And a place like this can't take away an explorer's technique! [A winner is me! She's mainly teasing though. Try not to take her antagonizing too seriously. ;;]

[video]

[psychunaut]

I can so prove I'm one! [And he puts his egg down, and then grabs his bag, pointing out some badges sewn onto them.] See! These are all my Psychic Merit Badges, signed off by Ford Cruller himself! [Note: He's important.]
[...And this is when his Slowpoke accidently drops the 'gear to the ground. Raz scrambles to hold it himself.] Guess I should have been paying more attention. And I can explore as well! Better than you, I bet!

[video]

[exp_loraline]

[She leans a bit closer to the screen, inspecting those badges with narrowed eyes.]
Uh... huh. [She doesn't actually seem disbelieving; maybe more intrigued than anything.

... And then she looks appalled. Better explorer than her?! THIS BOY SPEAKS MADNESS. She laughs.] What?! No way! I'm the greatest explorer there is!

[video]

[psychunaut]

I managed to get all the way to camp all by myself, I'm great in wilderness! [...On a pony. From the circus.] But if you're so sure... we should have a race! I mean, if you're a great explorer, you should be able to get somewhere new quickly!

[video]

[exp_loraline]

[She folds her arms, looking thoughtful.]
Hmm... Well, exploring isn't about getting to places fast... It's about finding places!

So-- [She smirks.] Yeah! We could race to find someplace!
