[ The feed opens on a tabletop in a restaurant, where Miyuki sits with what might actually be the world's largest cheeseburger. She's alone, but seems to be in relatively good spirits, especially considering what she says next. ]

Got knocked out in the quarterfinals by Mister Harvey. [ Look, she remembers your name. ] That means you'd better win the tourney, dude. I don't lose to losers.

Oh, and if any of you dudes were gonna get me Christmas presents, I'm gonna need warm clothes. My winter stuff from last year is, like, way too small now. [ This girl just keeps getting taller. ] And I'm gonna be traveling again after Christmas, I think. Maybe.

I kinda wanna get a house, but I'm only eleven? [ Or twelve, but the real estate agencies don't make much of a distinction between the two. ] Who around here has, like, a real house, anyway? Like, how much does it cost, or whatever?

[ She reaches for the 'Gear and picks it up, then stops, brightening. ]

Oh, yeah! I'm thinking about doing Old Man Surge's survival camp thingie. Anyone ever done that? Is it, like, super brutal? I figure a girl's gotta be able to take care of herself, if she's gonna be traveling alone sometimes. Tell me something good, dudes.

[ The feed clicks off on her grin. ]

Oh yeah, huh? I guess you guys did rent your own place.

Some sis said she can make her month's rent in a week, working part-time. I figure if I work a couple hours a day, like... five days a week, I can do rent and still have some cash, besides. Got instant noodles to buy and stuff.

That's right, they won't let you work more than four hours a day on account of your age. On the other hand, your friend is right that it's a fairly reasonable endeavor to make the month's rent — at P650 per hour at the Pokemon Center, for example, you'd need to work fourteen hours in a month to make a month's rent. Anything above and beyond that would be your own profit.

[ Nose-crinkling takes place at his first remark. ] Four hours a day? Dude, that's almost as bad as school. Nah, I'm just gonna work, like, two hours a day.

Y'think I could be, like, a waitress? Would they let me?

[Coincidentally, that's why he started working it, too. He missed school.]

A waitress? I can honestly say that's one vocational pursuit I've never looked into extensively before, but given some of the other jobs they let children hold, I don't see why not. An old friend of mine spent time as a waitress for a while, as I recall. I hope you're not averse to the possibility of wearing a costume.

[ More nose-crinkling, but she sounds resigned. ] I figured costumes would probably be a thing. No biggie.

Though I'm afraid you may have to resign yourself to the possibility that it will be a cute one.

[What, he hasn't poked her in a while.]

[ Her nose is going to be eternally scrunched up. ]

Yeah, yeah. We all know you like little girls in cute outfits.

[ He's asking for it. ]

[This probably will not help anything.]

Well, I'd prefer it if the girls were cute, as well, but that might be a bit much to ask.

[ She seethes for a second, but manages to dial it back. ]

When I get my new job, you can have all the pictures of cute girls in cute outfits you could ever want. Creep.

[...Hold everything, is that self-restraint he just saw?]

Have you picked a city yet?

Olivine. I was thinking about Cianwood, but apparently there are some people, like, already living in Olivine, so I'll have more company there.

That's a fair choice, particularly if you'll have friends around.

Well, one sis — [ A pause in which Miyuki realizes she doesn't know or remember the name of the girl whose house she'll be staying at. Whoops. ] — she said I could stay with her for a couple weeks while I earn the money to, like, pay for my first month of rent and fix up the house a little.
