[The Gear, for once, isn't being carried by a certain Jynx; instead it's in the claws of Sojobo, the Murkrow, circling down as Heiji is leaving the Azalea gym. Heiji stops to hold the door open for Baskerville, who struts out into the blazing sun with his head and whiplike tail high; a few curls of smoke follow him out the door, and through the

Congratulations!

[k9tantei]

Thanks!

Can't help but think that Bas may've been overkill, though... [He laughs, with a smug snort from the dog.]

[Video]

[lc_whitequeen]

You're very welcome.

Bas? [ Smiling at the Baskerville ] That is your friend there, I presume.

[Video]

[k9tantei]

Yep! He's come a long way from when he was hidin' in my coat 'cuz it was raining.

[Video]

[lc_whitequeen]

[ Laughing at that. ]

He must have been a cute little thing.

He isn't so little anymore. He must be very strong now.

[Video]

[k9tantei]

He's definitely gettin' there - we might be able t'charge through half'f the Gyms at this rate, an' now he's big enough t'carry me. [Is that a Houndoom practically preening in the background? I think it is...]

[lc_whitequeen]

I wish you all the luck. Both of you... oh.

I forgot to introduce myself again, didn't I? How rude of me. My name is Lacus Clyne.

[Video]

[k9tantei]

Thanks, an' its a pleasure t'meet ya! Name's Heiji Hattori.

[Video]

[lc_whitequeen]

It is a pleasure to meet you too, Heiji.

[ Pause. ] I hope this will not seem rude, but I can't help but notice your accent.

[k9tantei]

Nah, not at all! 'm from Osaka, born an' raised; it's a lovely city an' an amazing area, so I'm proud t'be from there.

[Video]

[lc_whitequeen]

Osaka? No wonder it sounds familiar...

That is in Japan, isn't it?

[Video]

[k9tantei]

Yeah, in th'West - take it you're from a version'f Earth, then?

[Video]

[lc_whitequeen]

Yes. And I've been to Japan a few times.

[k9tantei]

[he perks up a bit - he's been running into more people not-from-Earth than from-Earth.] Where're y'from originally?

[Video]

[lc_whitequeen]

Originally? Oh my, that is not a question I encounter very often.

[ At least without her mentioning about space. ]

I was born at the PLANTs. Space colonies.

[k9tantei]

[He whistles - that's a new one for him.] You're probably from th'future, or I guess for you I'd be from th'past.. there's a couple space stations but nothing people live on long-term - 'm from 2010. How far've people gotten?
