Ah, N-Nanami-san!

[To say she was surprised by the call is an understatement. Especially with all of the "excitement" going on. But good call on Nanami's part.

Though unfortunately she's probably going to be less helpful than Saionji.]

Friendship chocolates...

[Nodding, she sits on her bed.]

...I-I did. Sometimes, yes. I think classmates...and friends are supposed to do that. I don't know if there are rules here about it though...I'm sorry. I think I always did it wrong too...nobody...accepted my chocolates.

So maybe I'm not the best person to ask...

[ Joining in on the "excitement" just seems like asking for trouble...

...and actually, knowing she's not the only one at a loss is a good thing. She has eleven days left to figure it out, at least. ]

Hm...well, if it's something that you did, though...I think that's enough to go on. I've never even done that much...

[ For reasons they won't get into. ]

Although if it's making chocolates, I'm not really sure how to do that, either. Is it bad if they're store-bought...? Or I can try to figure out how to make them. If I pretend it's a game, maybe it'll be easier...?

[ ...Considering her cooking skills are Cooking Mama based, they will probably end up store bought, though. ]

We're not in the same place any longer or I'd say we could try making them together...ah, but I think maybe we'll come back to Goldenrod at least for that day? Or I wonder if Shaun-kun has things that could deliver chocolates?

[ She is way overthinking this but she doesn't want to slight any of her friends just because she doesn't understand Valentines Day in practice. ]

I don't think they'd be bad...? I always made mine but...it didn't seem to matter.

[She thinks for a moment.]

...maybe...maybe I could...show you with the gear how to make them? Since...there's the video function...and it would sort of be like making them together...right?

I don't know how we could deliver them though.

...You wouldn't mind doing that?

[ This is a bit of a switch in terms of who's worried about inconveniencing who, but this is actually an offer Nanami would like to take Tsumiki up on, though it'd obviously take up some of her time.

...Which was the point of this, but still. ]

I think it'd be sort of the same...and probably better than a cookbook.

As to delivery...I think things can be delivered through the PCs now that I think of it...that's how Kirigiri-senpai delivered some supplies to me when I got here. I'd forgotten about that...

N-not at all! If I can be helpful to Nanami-san, I want to be! Please let me help you!

[Plus she thinks it sounds like fun, cooking together. It would probably be better in person, but this would be fine too.]

Really? ...what's the PC?

In that case...I'd like that a lot, Tsumiki san. Thank you...that helps me out a lot. To tell the truth, I was pretty worried about this.

[ But it felt bothersome to bring it up when everyone was worried about really serious matters from home. ]

Oh...! It's a storage system, basically. If you ever catch more than six Pokemon, the ones you catch will be sent there automatically, into the Box system. You can access it from any Pokecenter, and there are a few other places you can do it as well...It's a really useful system!

In the original game, in addition to the Pokemon and item storage sections, you could also get your Pokedex rated, but since they come completed here, it's not something that really matters.

Don't be worried! I've had lots of practice...so I'm sure I can teach you how to make them easily.

[But oh...]

...so they just sit in the box...? Why can't you have more than six Pokemon out of your PC...?

[Guess who is never owning more than six of them.]

...Thanks, Tsumiki-san.

[ This comes with a genuine smile, although admittedly Nanami isn't exactly unknown for smiling.

...She really didn't mean to worry the other girl and strongly suspects she inadverdently gave Kuzuryuu another headache for the future. ]

It's a game mechanic...I think. In many games, there's an enforced party limit of some kind, which has to do with tactics and the like...and it being hard to write a script for too many characters. I cycle my own team in and out regularly. And when you own a house, you can have out more than the regular six there...you probably noticed that at the house where everyone else stays, right...? If you guys dropped by there. There's always a lot of different pokemon out, although mostly the Eevees...

[ Since there are like twenty of them... ]

...We should all probably work together to get a house someday. There's not really enough rooms there to hold our class as well as theirs.

[She did indeed give him a headache for the future, you can just see it on her face. She doesn't seem too sure on the idea of cycling them out or how well that would work. Not only would she not want to leave them in there, but...well she wants to spend every moment with all of her Pokemon. Her Audino and Rattata never go in their Pokeballs...]

A house...I think that would be good...staying at an Inn is expensive. Are Eevees the...cute little brown ones?

[ Nanami is sorry to future Kuzuryuu, although...really, Tsumiki's way of doing things isn't a bad one. Nanami's desire to Catch Them All requires her to be okay with cycling out, as does her general acceptance of gaming mechanics, but she can see why Tsumiki wouldn't like it. ]

If we all contribute to rent...I think we'd be able to afford one really soon? So it'd just be a matter of where, and such...And yes, they are. Eevees are the Pokemon with the most evolutionary options from just one stage, which is pretty interesting...though they don't have every type covered. I don't have one yet myself.

If we all contribute...that would definitely work. Do you think we could stay in a city with a Pokemon Center...?

[...the most evolutionary options...okay, she knows what evolutions are. It goes from the first stage to the second stage, right? So...]

Why do they have so many evolutions? And how?

That would be easy enough...almost all of them have them. I don't know where everyone else would want to stay...I know the other class is in Goldenrod, but I guess we could take a vote...?

[ If people even agree to that. ...If Hinata was okay with it, people would probably follow along. ]

No one is really sure. It's called the "Evolution Pokemon", though...while all three of the original evolutions - the game ones - were stone-based, some of the ones here aren't. Espeon and Umbreon have to do with friendship, for example...It's pretty interesting, but it means that when you get an Eevee, the choice of what to evolve it to can be pretty big.

[ She'd probably go old-school, herself. Gamer nostalgia.

...Tsumiki's still listening, this is odd, usually she'd have lost their castmates at this point in her Pokemon game ramblings. ]

I will live wherever everyone else wants to live...I like everyone so...

[She just hopes that they consider Pokemon Centers. That's where she wants to work forever and ever and ever. And yeah, if Hinata wanted a house, their class would follow.]

Pokemon can evolve based on being friends with them?

[Maybe she should get an Eevee...]

They sound like amazing Pokemon...are you going to get one eventually, Nanami-san?

[Well Nanami, magical things happen when you are actually a decent person to Tsumiki. She is hanging on every word you say.

Plus? If she wants to be a Pokemon nurse, there are things she needs to learn. She's pretty sure evolutions and the like are included in that. Probably.]

I do, too.

[ ...The same can't be said of everyone else, but it's nice she's not the only one on that page. She will have to mention the house thing to Hinata. He's already not staying at the house with the others...and while Nanami has a standing invitation and thinks the Dangan House wouldn't mind putting up some of her classmates, it's probably best avoided in some cases.

...And also they keep yelling at Naegi on arrival and clearly that is not helping their cause here, so. ]

Yes! There are a lot of baby Pokemon who level up like that...Pikachu's baby form, Pichu, actually levels up through friendship. ...So you think Eevees are cute?

[ Filing that away. Maybe that can be thanks for the chocolate lessons...? If Tsumiki doesn't get one before then, anyway. ]

I definitely want to. All the original Pokemon...I'm really interested in getting them. ...It's really fun to do this in person. I've played the games before, but...playing something and doing something...they're pretty different, aren't they? I never really knew that until I met you guys, and even until I came here.

[ She wants to be a Pokemon Master of the real variety. ...It's so cool that's even an option.

At least the pauses typical of Nanami's speech are lesser when she's chatting games like this, excitement very clear. ]

[She listens intently, smiling warmly as Nanami speaks.]

I think Eevee are very cute. I want to see Pichu too. Are they cute?

[She doesn't know exactly what Nanami is talking about, considering she hasn't played Pokemon before and therefor the comparison between the two is a little lost on her. But...she can feel it in her voice.]

I think...that's an admirable goal. And I think if anyone could catch all of the original Pokemon it would be you! Oh but...if you want them all, that means you need three Eevee, right?

[Guess who sort of has the same idea.]

You really want to? Ah, that's an easy one, at least.

[ Give her a second here. When Nanami flips over to video, it's clear she's been doing this from her hotel room, where she's cross-legged on her bed, Kirby - a Musharna, now - sleeping soundly on her pillow in the frame behind her. He's not the star of the video, nor is Nanami, sleepy-eyed as ever.

The star is a Pichu, which she actually does have, thanks to Shaun and Christmas. ]

This is Princess Angelica. ...She's named for a Battletoads character.

[ She fully expects the reference to go over Tsumiki's head, for the obvious reason that Tsumiki had never played games until the island.

Shockingly.

The Pichu peers at the screen curiously, and soon the screen is, well. Pichu face. Nanami does nothing to discourage this, but her voice goes on from behind the Pichu. ]

Three for the original ones, yes...Flareon, Vaporeon, and Jolteon. Those are the three original evolutions.

[OH NO LOOK AT IT. LOOK AT THE PICHU. IT IS FILLING UP THE SCREEN IT IS SO CUTE.]

H-hello Princess Angelica! [It does go over her head, you're right. But she thinks it's a lovely name.]

She's...really cute. Where do you catch a Pichu?

[Because yes, she may need to catch one. This is now one of two Pokemon that she feels she actually needs.]

Flareon, Vaporeon and Jolteon...are those fire, water and electric?

[She can't possibly get all three by herself, right?

No that's a lie. She's Nanami, SHSL Gamer, and seems to really love Pokemon. She can probably get them herself. But still, Tsumiki makes a note to get her one later...when she figures out where to get one. Maybe she can ask Hinata.]

Edited 2014-02-04 23:47 (UTC)

I'm not actually sure...Shaun-kun gave me this egg for Christmas, as well as Vibri's. He got them from the Breeding Centre, I think...?

[ She actually got a lot of Pokemon eggs at Christmas, it was fairly useful. Nanami's voice still seems to be coming from the Pichu for a moment or two, as it smooshes closer to the screen, until Angelica pulls back and chatters happily a the screen, tapping it and looking back at Nanami as if to say Look, it said my name!

Princess Angelica loves her name. ]

Right! In that order, even. By the way, Espeon is psychic and Umbreon is Dark...and Glaceon is ice and Leafeon is grass. Those are the other ones.

[ Nanami's goal of All 150 will sadly be cut short by the box limit but hey, all the original starters and the three original Eevees are doable goals. ]

If I were a Pokemon, I wonder what type I would be...?

[ ...She spends her time thinking about really important matters, clearly. ]

Oh...Kuzuryuu took me to get a Pokemon from the Centre the other day. Maybe I will go back and see if they have any Pichu...

[She nods, considering those options. A psychic, a dark, an ice and a grass...she still didn't know too much about all the types yet so she made a mental note to look into those later. She waves at the Pichu chattering away, giggling a little.]

She's so excitable...are they all like that?

[And if Nanami were a Pokemon...]

I think...that if Nanami-san were a Pokemon, she'd be a normal type.

[She doesn't know a lot about too many of the types yet, and she's basing her opinion solely on the Pokemon she owns...]

They probably should have...they seem to have a decent stock.

[ Though Nanami hasn't actually bought too much from there. Angelica is even more entertained by the waving, and escalates to waving with both arms. She can do this! ]

I'm not sure...Angelica is really excitable in general, and so are some of the others...but some of them are more calm and sleepy.

[ See: the Musharna snoozing away in the background. ]

She is a baby...I'm not sure if she'll calm down when she grows older or not.

[ As it is, the energy is a bit much for the calmer Nanami at times. ]

Normal, huh...? I'd say that seems about right for Tsumiki-san, too.

Calm and sleepy...I think that fits you very well, Nanami-san.

[And energetic balances her out as well, but she's not going to add that. But alright, she'll earn up some money then and go to the Centre to get a Pichu. Because Pichu are darling...]

R-really? We would match!

Mm...that's a pace I'm familiar with.

[ It's not like Nanami's unaware of her own speed...so she hardly mind the reference. ]

Right, we'd be the same. It's easy to figure out some of the others, as well...Hinata-kun, he'd probably also be a normal type...like an Eevee. Really versatile...that sort of type. Pekoyama-san would be more a steel type...

[ Now she's mentally sorting everyone. Welp. ]
