[The video starts up in what is probably the Pewter Museum lab. There's the hum of machinery in the background, and all kinds of equipment on screen. There doesn't seem to be anyone there, though, although there is the faint sound of someone muttering to themselves. After a few moments of this, Kay's head pops up from behind a table, and she looks

Hey, you don't know me, but Happy early Birthday.

Name's Shun.

Thanks, Shun!

I'm Kay. Are you a trainer?

[icingstars]

A birthday girl, eh. I wish you a great day tomorrow.

[fossilresearch]

Thanks!

Haha, I don't now about 'great', though. I do still have to go into work tomorrow.

It all depends on you. If I may say so, you do not seem the type to party all night... perhaps a coffee or some drinks with friends would be more suited to your tastes.

... Oh, I have not presented myself. Amelia Mussari, a schoolteacher from Violet. It is a pleasure to meet you, Miss.

Your work seems interesting. What do you do for a living?

Re: [Text]

That's very true... To be honest, I don't really know anyone well enough to suggest that, though. I just thought this would be a good way to meet some new people.
Why, does it seem like a bad idea? Oh no, maybe I shouldn't have suggested it...

I'm Kay Dunn, and I'm a researcher at the Pewter Museum. I get roped into doing some mechanic work, too, since it's kind of a hobby of mine, but I don't mind. Nice to meet you, too!

[Now you have video, and the woman in it looks completely mortified.]

No, no! I did not mean that! I apologise sincerely... When I watched your video, you seemed a bit uncertain, that is all. You should not force yourself to do things you are not accustomed to- [Amelia stops talking, and after a few seconds, the red in her cheeks is even more brilliant.]

And here I go again, rambling... I am sorry. It is a bad habit of mine... It is a bit dangerous to ask for company like this, but I trust you know what you are doing, right?

[Amelia looks a bit calmer now. She clears her throat before continuing.] At Pewter Museum? What kind of research, may I know? [A not so subtle change of topic, but well. The damage was already done; now it's all up to Kay whether to forgive her or not.]

Re: [Video]

[Kay doesn't seem too horribly offended. In fact, she looks a little bit confused.]

But- if you don't make yourself do things you're not used to, how ware you supposed to get used to them? Or find new things that you like?
[she brightens up, and grins.]
Don't worry- I can take care of myself. Even if something does go wrong, my pokemon are very protective, I don't think they'd let me get hurt.

Oh, yes! My field is in archaeology, mostly. I study fossils, and revive fossils that trainers bring to me. I've been looking into ways to improve our revival system, but unfortunately, I haven't been having much luck.

A movie out and some drinks? You know, it's been a while since I've had something to do outside of the gym! I'll pop over with you, little lady! It could be a good time!

The birthday better be a good one, you hear? [His own special way of saying 'happy birthday'. :>]

Re: text

[fossilresearch]

Really? That would be great! [And then Kay fangirled in her head a little. Hanging out with a ~*gym leader*~ *u*]

I'll do my best!

Hey, Happy Birthday.

Celebrating sounds fun, but I don't have any ideas. Sorry.
(The last birthday party I had was when I was ten.
We kicked a ball around in the yard and roasted marshmallows.)

I'm up for a movie though. I haven't kept up with what's new, so anything's good with me.

Re: [text] (late, sorry)

[fossilresearch]

Thank you, Red!

Wow, really? I mean, I haven't had a real party in a long time either, but... 10 seems awfully young to stop!

That would be wonderful. I look forward to seeing you!
