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.]

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?

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

I believe so! Although, I am already having a lot of fun here.

[justicereigns]

Glad to hear it kid.

I'm Smoker by the way.

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

I'm Rika Furude. It's nice to meet you, Smoker.
