[The video feed turns on with a clatter as Rika's PokéGear falls onto the floor. All that's visible is Rika's hand hanging over the edge of the bed. There's silence for a few moments as everything in the room stays still until suddenly there's the sound of a frantic pokémon.]

Vee! Vee! [At that moment, Rika's hand moves out of view of the Gear.]

Prince? Are you all right? [There's fumbling around for the Gear until Rika manages to reach over the side of the bed and pick it up. She has a worried look on her face despite the fact that she's hugging her Eevee.]

What's going on? How long have I been asleep?

... Was there a reason for why she did that?

Who knows how she thinks? Probably just to mess with us all some more.

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

You think so?

She's the type that'd do anything to make things more interesting... for her.

I've heard from Lambdadelta that they will do anything to get rid of their boredom. They've lived a very long time... so I can understand why they don't want to be bored.

There's gotta be limits to what you're willing to do though.

video;

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

That's true.

Where would you place those limits?

video;

[uselessmagic.livejournal.com]

Hurting other people.

[She nods.] I don't see how others getting hurt can be fun.

They'd definitely disagree with the both of us. If anything, that's the only thing they enjoy.

...

You know a lot about them.

video;

[uselessmagic.livejournal.com]

Like I've said, they caused me a lot of trouble. But it's alright, I've returned the favor too.

video;

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Really? How did you do that?

video;

[uselessmagic.livejournal.com]

Beating them at their own game, of course.

video;

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

How did you beat them?

[ he just taps on his temple... though in reality, it hadn't been entirely him. ]

I had help too, of course. I guess you could say Beatrice and I managed to beat them together.

Teamwork is always the best.

Isn't it cooler for a hero to dramatically save the day on his own though?

video;

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

I think seeing a group of friends defeat their enemy is cooler than that.

[uselessmagic.livejournal.com]

Maybe you have a point. That's the appeal of super hero teams, isn't it? Teamwork and friendship managing to do what people can't alone.

[complexrestart.livejournal.com]

Yes. It makes for very good stories.
