puppetnurse | Second Vaccine; Video/Action for Goldenrod

[There is a deer staring curiously at you all today, good people of Pokeland. A Deerling, to be exact, sporting it's winter coat and flicking it's ears back and forth as it watches the camera. Soon there's a happy noise and it runs off, the camera lifting so you can continue watching it as it plays in the sun.]

...h-hello. I...wanted to thank the Breeding Centre...for my Deerling Egg! It hatched, and she's very sweet...and very excitable! I've named her Vitamin D.

[It then drops down to show off an egg.]

I recently purchased a Pichu egg too. Thank you for th-this one as well! But um...th-that's...that's not the only reason I am making a post today.

[As she continues to talk, the camera view wanders over to an Audino, who is sitting with a Rattata, both stuffing their faces.]

I-I assume that there are other...people who are working for the Pokemon Centers...o-other Nurses, perhaps? I was hoping m-maybe I could...talk to you. I-if you aren't busy. I-if you don't want to talk to me, that's okay! I understand!

[This post is obviously taking a lot of effort to get out there. She practiced it several times before putting it up, but it doesn't seem to be helping much at all. As the gear continues to record, the view begins shaking a little. Just barely, but enough to be noticeable.]

I-I...I-I'm sorry if this interrupted you any! P-please feel free to disregard this!

[After that, the video ends.

Anyone in Goldenrod today can find her outside, sitting on one of the benches in Goldenrod for a rest or wandering the streets with her three Pokemon and window shopping for some warmer clothes. Or at least a coat...]

...so...i-it's like a shelter...

[THAT'S. REALLY SAD...]

...do they find homes often?

[This was the most important thing to address. It's only after she asks this that she realizes oh hey she just got a name.]

I-it's nice to meet you too, Aradia-san...! I'm Tsumiki Mikan...

Yes! We do our best to give them really good homes, even if just with us. We do have a fair amount of adoptions, but they're a little less frequent than our egg sales.

[ The adoptions tend to come in cycles, oddly. ]

Just "Aradia" is fine! Unless you prefer it the other way? And all right, Tsumiki!

...i-if...you don't like Aradia-san, I-I can stop. I-I'm sorry i-if I've offended you any! [It's just more respectful that way...

But on the subject of the Foster home, she may look into adopting Pokemon. Because that's really the saddest thing, even if they do have a good home with the Centre.]

Hm? Oh, it's fine either way. I sort of got the whole "suffixes" thing explained to me a while back, so it's not like I don't get it sometimes. Would you prefer if I used "Tsumiki-san?" That's the one I would do, right...Or would it be Mikan-san?

[ ...She just knows "san" is like, more formal than "chan".

...#nailing it ]

I...th-think I will continue using Aradia-san then...i-if you don't mind. A-and you can call me either! I will respond to anything that you choose to call me...even if it isn't my name. S-so whatever is most enjoyable for you!

[You go, Aradia.]

[ ........This feels like talking to opposite-Equius, what's going on here. ]

Tsumiki-san it is, then! I mean, I don't know if enjoyment comes into it...your name is who you are, right?

[ No but seriously did she find negaequius is that what happened here. ]

[The similarities are there, aren't they?]

I-I wouldn't know about anything like that...but okay. Thank you Aradia-san.

If there's anything I can do to help in terms of the Breeding Centre or Foster Home - or anything else, really, I've been here a while so I can field questions - let me know!

O-okay. ...thank you.

[Even though she agrees, it may be a while before she gets up the courage to ask Aradia anything.]
