[[Good afternoon, Johto. Have you noticed how it has gotten a tad chillier as of late? I bet you have.

So has Rose, judging from the fact she's wearing her light jacket once more. Of course, the cold is not what she is here to discuss.

No, it's the rain she is interested about.]]I have a few questions. I've done a little venturing of my own

You know you don't really need to ask me that, right? The answer is never going to be anything other than yes.

[usedtherapy]

I ask anyway out of the same courtesy you offer me, even when my replies will always be of course.

[usedwindything]

Fair enough. So what do you need? [As he says this, he begins pulling on and tying up his shoes.]

You'll see upon arrival. Oh. And while you are at it, would you also bring Casey and Lestat? I will require their assistance, and therefor will need them for the same thing I am needing you for.

[p2iioniichacker]

Why do you need a tarp? Are you getting ready to leave or something?

[usedtherapy]

I have been considering it. I would prefer for Goldenrod to remain a pleasant city in my mind that I would not mind revisiting, especially considering the vast amount of resources it offers, rather than one that brings me nothing but visions of a small, stranded boat desperately trying to reach the waters of the ocean, only to be held back by a continually rising mound of sand in front of it, much like Violet has now become.

Not only that, but now that the weather is not so horrendously arid, I believe I would enjoy the travel.

Of course, nothing is yet set in stone, but it would be ideal.

[p2iioniichacker]

Yeah, I can see that. It would be nice to be able to come back here to shop or something without absolutely hating the experience.

Once you do decide you'll let me know, right?

[usedtherapy]

Indeed, and most certainly. I already had plans to. I simply felt that, if I wasn't going to leave quite yet, there would be no point in ruffling the feathers of others just yet.

If Johto is anything like New York during the fall...?

[usedtherapy]

Indeed. New York, at least where I come from, is quite rainy. Rainy in Autumn, rainy in Spring. We have bouts of snow in Winter and a month and a half or so of sun in the Summer. But it is mostly rain.

And judging by the chill that is descending upon us, I'm fairly certain we are about to receive at the very least a few days of rain.

Well, when it does rain here, it does tend to be very strong... Once, it was so bad, it created a flood...

[usedtherapy]

Mmm, I remember that. I had a friend attempting to travel to us in that time. He was quite inventive. Came in on a raft.

I can clear my schedule if there's a bubble tea waiting for me.

[ Not that he wouldn't clear his schedule anyway, but why not get something out of it? ]

[usedtherapy]

I suppose I could pick a round up while I'm out and about. Even if you are also getting something out of this visit already.

[striderismo]

Never hurts to bribe a little extra. When do you need me? Besides always, I mean.

filtered video; Of course.

[usedtherapy]

Always isn't an acceptable answer? I suppose I will have to offer you 'as soon as possible' then. Preferably today.

I was able to find a good tent to use at the Goldenrod department store, but I'm not sure about plain tarps.

( video. )

[usedtherapy]

Mmm, we have a tent thanks to a trip a friend and I took a while back.

Though...I suppose I could always purchase another and re-purpose it, if need be. It's odd that they don't sell tarps.

( video. )

[usedrapidspin]

It is. There must be somewhere that does, considering the large number of travelers and adventurers that pass through Johto...

[usedtherapy]

With my luck, I am likely simply looking in the wrong venues. I've never actually needed tarps for anything before, so I'm not quite sure where to look.
