[This is the Goldenrod gym. Do you hear that sniveling? Yes, it's who you think it is. Whitney is there, flanked by her usual clique of trainers, and Clover is pointing at her with an accusatory finger. Our pink-haired protagonist (no, not Whitney) is surrounded by her winning team - an Absol, a Roselia and a Furret towering over them all.

[....

....

....

Well, that pink hair is hard to miss.]

... Shit.

[Look who's talking, Silver. Clover whips around at that very familiar voice and gasps, nearly stepping all over her Pikachu and the Jigglypuff. She's still clutching her wallet.]

Santa!

[SHE'D CALL YOU BY YOUR OTHER NAME but it seemed awkward. And...not right.]

action;

[cynicizing]

[WELL HE DOESN'T REALLY HAVE A CHOICE IN THE MATTER FOR YOU SADLY. And please don't. YOUR BROTHER ALREADY DID THAT AND IT WAS WEIRD.]

Geez, when the fuck did you get here?

action;

[4leafcleaver]

[AHAHAHA YOU DESERVED IT.]

I've already been here for days, actually. So, who else is here? June?

[reimprovise]

Mm, I didn't know Miles had a fondness for deranged things.

video.

[4leafcleaver]

I don't think so. He said someone left that Mareep, so I'm gonna guess the sheep came from a friend.

video.

[reimprovise]

Ah, that's where it gets complicated.

video.

[4leafcleaver]

And y'know what's more complicated than that? I kinda understand. If my brother left me a crazy Pokémon like that, I'd probably try and keep it in line instead of getting rid of it.

[She sighs.]

But still.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

First experience with Whitney, huh? Dontcha wish you brought earplugs?

[She has... little to no advice on the Mareep but RELEASE IT but... yeah. Wtf Miles y u keepin it.]

[Video]

[4leafcleaver]

[CLOVER KNOWS HOW YOU FEEL, HEATHER. WOOL COAT AND VEAL, ANYONE?]

It's one thing to hear about her or hear her over the network, but it's another thing to hear her cry in person.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

[Or a gas chamber. Heather has no sympathy for creatures that aim to maim, no matter how cuddly they look. Call it a survival-oriented mindset she'd developed after Silent Hill.]

Yeah, it's like a force of nature.

[Video]

[4leafcleaver]

[I now have this mental image of Clover and Heather going murderous Mareep-hunting.]

I was so glad when she finally shut up and I got the heck outta there.

video.

[yaaaaaawn]

Ugh, does she ever shut up? Someone should sew her trap shut. Congrats, though, Clover.

[she gives a slight smile.. it mitigates after she hears Whitney's grating voice again, though. UGH.]

video.

[4leafcleaver]

Thanks, Lotus. Did you battle her too?

video.

[yaaaaaawn]

No. I've been in Goldenrod for a while, though, and I can pretty much hear her screaming every day from my hotel room.

[Sigh.]

video.

[4leafcleaver]

That's...wow. And I don't mean the good kind of "wow".

Did you try getting another room?

[video]

[doorjammer]

And all those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain.

[video]

[4leafcleaver]

...is that the amnesia talkin' again, Seven?

[doorjammer]

It ain't amnesia when you finally remember something again, Clover!

[4leafcleaver]

Oh, really? You finally remembered something?
