[When the feed turns on, Rika has a big smile on her face. Some may notice that she's carrying an Eevee egg in her arms.]

Mii! We finally made it back into Olivine last night. It's nice to finally rest after everything that happened while we were traveling. [Fending off the bugs while on the road wasn't much fun for her, after all.] I hope everyone is all right.

... If you age while in Johto, do you feel as if you've really become older? When all of us go back home, we'll just be put back to where we left off in our lives.

I wonder how everyone feels about getting older here.

[She falls silent as she looks down at the egg in her arms. It was strange to finally be a year older. But she wasn't even sure that it really counted here at all. She gives one more smile to the Gear before shutting it off.]

[A few seconds later, Rika filters the video feed to just Ventus. Her smile is now bigger than ever.]

Thank you very much for the egg, Ven. I really love it. I will make sure to raise them to be a very strong pokémon! Nipaa~

I would also like for you to help me choose a name for them. We may not know if it will be a boy or a girl yet, but we can decide on a boy name and a girl name before they hatch.

-- Furude!

[Aaaah guess who is so happy to see her ;w;!]

Welcome back.

Kinda do feel older while I'm here. It'll be a bit strange going back home a bit aged.

[ He has just had his birthday about a month ago and it feels strange being a year older here but probably not back home. ]

[justicereigns]

I think it sticks. I consider myself 35 now.

Mitsuru! [She hands the Eevee egg to her Ninetales to keep safe and runs to Mitsuru for a hug.]

I'm glad to be back.

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Yes, it will. I can't help but feel a bit older myself.

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

How long ago was your birthday, Smoker?

[Mitsuru is not a very physical person, but she kneels down to accept the hug happily nevertheless]

That was quite the long journey you and Maebara took. Olivine felt rather empty without the both of you here.

--ah, Rika!

*SCREW THE RULES, you are getting a big (yet careful due to egg) welcome back hug since it has been way too long for him ;A;*

Did you have a birthday while here?

[action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

It was strange traveling without everyone else as well.

I hope that you managed to have fun here in the meantime, though.

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Yes. It was actually today.

[She smiles, even though she still feels sort of strange about getting older here.]

Hayate! [She hugs back, also being careful of the egg.]

Olivine has been a welcoming city so far. I've certainly enjoyed my stay.

[action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

I'm happy to hear that. I think it will be nice to finally rest.

[ Ignoring the fact she's been traveling with Rika for a little while now and actually probably arrived at Olivine with her, Lambdadelta is living up to her nickname and is secretly hiding behind a bush in secret.

Despite the fact bright pink doesn't camouflage well with green bushes.

But at any rate, she secretly Rika from...a pretty close distance, actually. Beware, Rika!!! ]

*ahhhh he's so happy to see her again he has the biggest smile-- not letting you go just yet either*

Ehe... It's great to see you again, Rika! And it's such a relief that you're all back safe and sound... You didn't have too much trouble on the road, did you?

[Rika's perfectly happy to keep hugging Hayate. It's been so long since she's seen her big brother.]

[She shakes her head.] It was a bit tough fighting those bugs, but all of us were able to make it through. I hope you didn't have a whole lot of trouble with that either.

What's that about being put back home?

[action]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

[As she walks by several bushes, Rika catches a glimpse of pink amongst them. So, she walks over to investigate. If her instincts are correct, it should be Lamdadelta.]

... Mii?

Much in the same way that people arrive here randomly, people also get randomly sent home.

[ Oh, today? Well, he gives a smile. ]

Happy Birthday then. Planning on celebrating it here?

[action]

[pink-stalker.livejournal.com]

[ Aha! Foolish Rika, you have fallen right into her trap!

For being unable to see through such a clever ploy--which Lambda does not blame you for, as her ploy is simply the best possible--you will suffer the punishment!

Lambda leaps from the bushes and intends to sneak-rush-hug Rika. ]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

I might. I'm not sure what I will do.

[tarotcards]

It's fun to celebrate it with friends.

Is there anything you want in general? [ Souji just might have met this person but he doesn't mind sending over a birthday card or something at least. Birthdays are pretty special things to him. ]

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Mii! [At first Rika is surprised, but she hugs back nonetheless.]
