[Ritz is curled up with her Gear propped up a bit away; she's leaning against Mathis with Bijou curled up in her lap, asleep.] Is there anyone here who just... doesn't want to go home? It's not like I want to stay here because I'm getting out of school or anything! But... well, I started something here, and I've made friends that I probably wouldn'

[Hi there this is relevant to his interests.]

I don't.

I can see why you wouldn't want to. It's awesome here. I didn't have pets at all back home, and where else can you get a pet that could probably swallow you whole in one gulp? [Ritz is pointing at Andre with a grin.]

That's a good thing...? [That's just kind of worrisome, Ritz.]

Well, it's not like he's going to, and if I run into anything dangerous it's like having a pack of bodyguards. A big dog can still only bite or knock a person over if they throw their whole body at someone, but Andre could knock someone away just by twitching his tail. And my 'big dog' can breathe fire. [She's pointing at Mathis.] I got used to fighting monsters where I was last, so I think about stuff like this. [You should hear what she said in canon about zombies. 8D]

[It might be a bit after the actual post - as much as most of whatever he might say is things Zidane knows already, he doesn't particularly feel like juggling two people on a subject where he'd like to maintain control of the conversation.]

[And getting Kate out for a bit - now a Charmeleon and a good bit bigger - makes a perfectly good pretense.]

I imagine you may already have a guess to my answer to your question for Johto.

Oh, I might have an idea or two. I'd have to be about six kinds of stupid to not. [Ritz is perfectly content with a pokepile around her. She's making sure to keep her voice soft, though, on account of the sleeping ones.]

[He's settling down sitting nearby, carefully not disturbing anyone.]

I must admit, I wonder about your situation - I'd certainly hope you at least have more to go back to than I.

[Ritz is glancing over.] I have a lot more than most people do. Even without the whole dream Ivalice, I have a parent who loves me and doesn't spend nearly all of our money on alcohol so she can forget about her problems, or try to. [Ritz is going to scoot over and try for a one-armed hug.]

I mean, how many people can say that the worst thing about their home is that it's boring compared to all this?

I wouldn't mind staying here, but...I got stuff to do.

[Video]

[usedfeint]

That makes sense. The only thing I have to do back home is school... but I was already in a situation where I was missing school.

[ctrldemons]

I've got home, as well as my friends and an important job to do. But Johto's also fun to stay in.

I've got some friends back home, and Mom, but I figure my friends might turn up sooner or later. They turned up in the last place I randomly appeared in, after all!

I've actually gotten used to camping- before I came here I was living with a bunch of people that preferred to stay in the woods. As long as you've got a reasonable camping kit it's not a big deal... [And she has a good chunk of her team to haul that.] I do wonder what some of my friends from home are doing, but I'm not worried. [Short of one of them being stupid and wandering into a jagd they're all pretty much safe.]

You know, there are air mattresses and cots and stuff you can use instead of sleeping on the ground... You just have to be careful about where you put them down! [You need camping tips like a man in the desert needs water, it sounds like.] Or, in a pinch, some evergreen boughs...

[usedfeint]

Well, my mom... But I'm already in a situation where she'd probably miss me, so it's not that big of a difference if I'm here or there.

[usedfeint]

Yeah, it is.
