[OOC: Because my permissions post isn't up yet, there will be no spoilers in this post except in threads with castmates.]

[The woman on the screen doesn't look happy, and there is high pitched wailing in the background. She has to raise her voice to talk over it.]

Okay! These animals that we get in the balls, what do they eat? It's been screaming

[Well, who's this cute, older woman? Yosuke doesn't know, but he's glad to help.]

Hehe, well, it'll probably sound kind of weird... but if you treat them like little kids, sometimes that calms them down? Usually they eat like... berries and grass and stuff, but they'll eat human food sometimes too. [An awkward laugh. Does his tone sound kind of familiar?] But just holding them is enough to calm them down sometimes, even if they're hungry.

[There is... something about this boy that reminds her of Toby. Instantly taken with him, but no, Yosuke, not like that.]

You know what? [She laughs, and it only sounds a little strained.] That's really not that weird. At least, compared to the rest of what's going on here. Thanks.

[ALRIGHT LET'S GO CRADLE HER LITTLE SCREAMING EGG. Who... instantly starts to calm down, what is life.]

Hey! It works!

Yeah, most stuff around here is pretty weird - so I totally get what you mean, hehe. [Winking into the camera.] It's probably because it's not used to you yet, you know? Some Pokémon can be pretty shy like that. Well, other people's, at least...

[Erica is now kinda... cooing over the Togepi. So cuuuuuute when it's not screaming!]

I'm still trying to figure out what it's supposed to be... Eggs aren't sentient here, are they? [TOO WEIRD, TOO WEIRD.] I guess it's just a baby, and it doesn't know me... [She laughs.] Kinda cute, when it isn't trying to deafen me...

I'm pretty sure it's a Togepi, isn't it? So it's not like... a sentient egg. More like a Pokémon with an egg-diaper. Kind of.

Pokémon are the weirdest things to try and explain...

[Erica takes a deep breath, then just... sighs.]

Alright, tell me... These things aren't... really pokemon, are they?

If they're not, then I've been doing something totally wrong for the last five months...

[Erica groans.] My life just keeps getting weirder and weirder...

Yep, that's Johto for ya. Sorry to say it, but it probably won't get any more normal while you're here. This place is pretty nuts sometimes.

I guess I'll just deal with it... [She sighs.] Or wake up. Hopefully I'll wake up.

I was waiting for that for a long time too... but... it's been like 5 months and there's no sign of it yet. Hehe...

[Groans.] I have a life, I don't want to be here for 5 months...

[usedkunai]

It's not like we all don't have lives too...

[Erica laughs a little.] Kid, if I lose my job, I lose my place to live. But it does suck for everyone, I won't argue that.

Okay, so it's not that bad for me. Aside from, you know... dad hanging by the neck from the coatrack in the office or something.

[Small sigh.] I-it doesn't really matter here anyways, though.

[Erica makes a face.] You work for your dad? Oh god, I feel for you. My first job was for my dad too, and it's like you can never get away from them.
