003 [video]

[It's late at night, and Rika is sitting on the ground, resting. In the background, there are a few trees and patches of grass. She's currently sitting on the trail itself, her Vulpix right beside her. She looks sad for a moment before she has the camera completely focused on her, and she smiles.]

I'm currently on my way to Violet City. I believe it is only a few more days! [She gives a big smile.] I can't wait to see this city! I think Hope is excited too!  [She moves the pokegear to show the Vulpix, who is currently sniffing at something on the ground.]

[When the camera returns to Rika, her demanor has changed slightly and she has a sad smile on her face.] Mii, I've been thinking recently about how everyone has been away from home. So, I was wondering... what was your hometown like? [It's obvious she's feeling homesick, and the only thing she could think of to feel better was to talk to others about their own worlds.]

Loguetown's the town of the beginning and the end. It's right near the start of the Grand Line where many pirates hope to start their career in piracy, and yet it's where many pirates ended their careers. And it was even the birthplaces and execution spot of the Pirate King Gold Roger.

That sounds very interesting! Do many people live there?

[justicereigns]

It's a pretty big city, yes.

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I see.

So I'm guessing that you too are a pirate?

[justicereigns]

Like hell!

I'm the White Hunter. I'm the reason so many pirates ended their careers in Loguetown.

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

So, you hunt pirates?

[justicereigns]

Yes. And I'm good at it.

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you are! Why do you hunt them, though?

[justicereigns]

Because they're pirates....?

[Says this like explaining water is wet because it's water.]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Mii, there aren't many pirates in my world.

[justicereigns]

Pirates by definition are outlaws. They lie, cheat, steal, murder, burn down towns, sink ships, and so forth. I follow justice so I stop them.

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see. You must be a very responsible man to be able to do that.

[justicereigns]

It's my job. I'm a marine.

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

That must be a very tough job.

[justicereigns]

Not really. It's the only one I can imagine wanting.

I could do without all the paperwork though.

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Ah, well it's good to be able to do something that you want to do.

[justicereigns]

Yes, it is. Did you get that chance in your world?

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, I have not. I have yet to live past the age of ten. [She says her last statement in a way that hints at another meaning to it.]

[justicereigns]

.... Hn.

Maybe you will here then.

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

I hope so!

[justicereigns]

Good luck kid. Do you know what you're looking for?

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

[She considers this.] Hmm, I'm not quite sure yet. All I know is that I want to have a happy future.

[justicereigns]

Sounds difficult if you don't know what will help you to be happy.

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

That's true. I do know that playing games makes me happy!

[justicereigns]

Well, then I guess if you can find a way to play lots of games, you should have a lot of fun here, right?
