Two years. And to think I was told my stay here had a good chance of being 'temporary'.

Still, I suppose ferrying a small batch of unadopted Pokemon eggs over to Souji-kun's Breeding Center and then spending the rest of the day in the comfort of what's come to be my "own home" is still preferable to spending it mass-evolving a brood of six rambunctious Eevees, and decidedly superior to the circumstances new trainers customarily find themselves in when they first arrive.

It's a small concession, I suppose, to the much more desirable option of returning home properly — but then, I suppose Johto does have its certain advantages as well.

Shall we have a match today, Niou-kun?

[OOC: There are still free eggs left if anyone is interested in claiming one!]

Thanks again for the egg. I borrowed a sling from a friend and it seems to be doing well.

What was home like, if I can pry a little?

If memory serves, it ought to take about a week to hatch. If it takes noticeably longer, you might want to be concerned.

That's a rather open-ended question, isn't it? From my perspective, it's nothing particularly remarkable — but then, it's also home.

Are you trying to make me paranoid? But I've got it! And so far I'm just focusing on keeping the egg safe, padded, and warm. Have I missed any essential egg needs in that list?

It sort of is. I'm not sure how to ask about other people's worlds. It's never actually been a thing I've had to do. I guess it's badly worded, but I have no idea how to word it properly. Maybe: what was the name of your home?

I would've called it "inspiring you to be satisfactorily vigilant". That is one of your future roster, you know.

[...Like Yagyuu actually gives a shit about the well-being of those eggs. But hey, such is the life of an asshole.]

I'm from Kanagawa, in the nation of Japan. On the planet Earth, I suppose, but that level of generality isn't usually necessary.

I'm always vigilant about the well-being of those in my care! I'd be a terrible medic if I weren't..

[ Let's just ignore the time she couldn't save someone. :T ]

I've never heard of it. I'm from the Fire Country, though. Obito said people know it best as "the place with the ninja", which I guess is what I should lead with, if that's the case.

Strangely enough, even when I get back t'home, whenever that happens t'be, I'll miss this place a bit.

Well, as long as it ain't a dream or somethin' crazy like that.

Assuming you're even capable of remembering it, that is. I've heard most people aren't.

Good point. Would be kinda weird not t'remember this place, but then again, guess I wouldn't know better if that were the case.

And that is, in fact, precisely how it goes — or so I'm told. Prior to my own arrival here, some schoolmates of mine had apparently already arrived here and stayed for a duration of months, yet I couldn't recall noticing any sort of difference.

Thank you for the egg mister, Mayushii keeps it all nice and snug in my backpack (✿´・ω・`)

But two years, ehhh? Do people ever leave this place?

They do. Some more frequently than others, it seems.

Umm, but how?

If I knew that, do you suppose I'd still be here?

I am unsure if congratulations are in order or not.
Two years is a remarkable amount of time to spend in one place, yet when it has happened, does it not bring a certain nostalgia?

'Congratulations' isn't the word I would use, no.

A certain nostalgia? Ah — you mean when looking back on the many things that have occurred since the day I arrived here, I presume?

My apologies for the assumption.
Many find themselves happy to have reached that milestone in this place, but I am unsure as to who feels that way and who does not.

[ Maybe she herself should find joy in it since there's nothing left for her life when she leaves, but guilt of her own failures keeps her from finding happiness in anything of that sort. Still, she had hope that others had it better. ]

Yes, that is what I mean.
Surely it has been full of more happy memories than not.
This world is not one of many troubles.

It's hardly an unnatural one to make; think nothing of it. I suppose you could say I simply miss home more than I enjoy my circumstances here; it's not a question of like or dislike, just one of degree.

Memories are generally indicative of loved ones that helped make them. Are you very lonely, Saber-san?

you know all you've gotta do is ask
sounds like you could use a break from the domestic egg brooding anyway.

Two of them are the byproduct of the purple shark; I'm not particularly eager to contemplate how that came to pass.

Should I take that as your formal acceptance?

the purple shark breeds—
are you sure you can't just smash 'em
or at least give 'em to some jackass who'll take them far far away from us?
but yeah, like you really need formal from me.

I've already found homes for the both of them, believe me. Surprisingly, they went quickly. Not that I was about to dissuade them from it.

Ah, no, that's right, I suppose I'm the formal one, aren't I.

Two years? Impressive.
It must have been interesting evolving six of them all at the same time.

[[Give her a bit. She'll get more chatty once her headache finally fully recedes.]]

Interesting is one way of putting it.

"Utter chaos" would certainly be another.

I bet.
I've raised quite a few Eevees on my own and they can certainly be quite the characters.

Have you? I'd frankly only ever planned for one — my first. The others came about either by receipt from someone else or a series of utterly unfortunate events, or both.

At present I'm up to sixteen, spanning four generations of births and every possible evolutionary result available. I'm told that when they attack en masse they're quite the fearsome sight to behold.
