[ 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. ]

[He's touched, truly.]

I'll do my best, I assure you. Goodness knows my team has decided it'd take nothing less than a complete humiliation to get them down.

[Ah, but she has questions.]

If you find like-minded friends, renting a small house should be simple enough, as long as you have a constant source of income.

So, like, we don't need an 'adult' or whatever? [ Check these air quotes and the extravagant eyerolls. Ugh, adults. ]

You don't need an adult to cross dangerous caves with little to no supplies. It'd be hypocritical of them to require one if you wish to stop travelling for some time.

[Not that he'd be surprised if the locals did think like that.]

Yeah, but it's not like this place, y'know. Ever made any freakin' sense before.

[ She's reading your mind, Cecil. ]

I'm thinking Cianwood, or maybe Olivine. What'd'you think, Mister?

Indeed, though one can still hope for the rare nugget of common sense.

[Smart girl. Or girl that's been here for a while. One of the two.]

They'd both be more interesting during the summer, but they surely have potential activities even during the rest of the year. I know that a few people have houses in Olivine. You'd have more neighbors there.

[ A year and two months. Yyyyyep. ]

Neighbors are good, huh? In case I need to, like... borrow a cup of sugar, or something.

Or if you want to fight against trainers other than the locals. Or if you wish to speak with people who understand that this world is strange.

I've got one! They're pretty okay, price wise?

[ Okay, so borrowing a cup of sugar is probably going to be pretty low on her list of priorities. ]

... Or if I ever wanted food that wasn't restaurant food or instant noodles.

Yeah? Where d'you live? Did you have to work for, like... a long time?

Edited (there was another important question to be asked) 2012-11-17 20:23 (UTC)

Nope! You can pay the monthly payments with a week of part-time at the Center. I'm in Olivine, and I didn't even have to pay extra for a seaside!

Cool! Maybe we can be neighbors. I was thinking about a house in Olivine. D'you know anyone else who lives around there?

There's a few other people, but I'm the only one who lives in this part of the city.

That, too. You could offer them snacks in return, or cold drinks during the summer.

If I move to Olivine, I'm definitely gonna live on the beach. Any sweet houses around there up for grabs?

There's a cute bungalow for sale! Needs a paint job and new flooring, though.

Or help with their Pokémon, or maybe, like... clean their house for them. Like a housekeeper? Or I could mow their lawn! I think I could mow a lawn, anyway.

I'm pretty broke right now — totally blew all my money on TMs during the tourney — but I bet if I worked a few weeks, I could afford it! I could have a house before Christmas!

Or I could pay the first month for you?

Whoa, sis. You'd really do that?

Why not?

The possibilities are endless, when it comes to mutually beneficial trades.

Well, I dunno, it's just... a whole lot of money.

[ After a beat: ]

How about instead, I, like, crash on your couch for a couple weeks while I get the money to fix up the house? I'll stay out of the way and I just mostly eat instant noodles so I can cook for myself. And I'll do the dishes and stuff!

That works! The only spare bed I have right now is in the basement, though, so I hope you like sleeping with a Garchomp.

Where're you gonna be staying for the holidays, Mister? Got a house or something?
