[Rika turns the pokégear on, and immediately turns it onto her.] Mii... It's a bit strange being back. [Especially since all of the memories of Johto came rushing back to her as soon as she woke up, but that's something she won't mention right now.] I believe it was July that last time I was here. [She looks at her surroundings before looking back at the Gear.] It's colder than it was when I left, so it's been at least a couple of months, right?

[She lets out a small sigh. Honestly, she's not sure if she wants to know how long she's been gone. Especially if she's been gone for a long time, since it'd be more likely for her friends to have gone home—but she's trying not to think about that right now.

So, whatever frown might have formed disappears as she smiles and turns the Gear to an Absol sitting on the ground next to her.] I also have a new pokémon! Although, I'm not sure what I want to name him. [Rika turns the Gear back to her.] I wonder if anyone would like to help me name him? I suppose I could make whoever's suggestion I use a homemade lunch. [There's a short pause.]

... I should probably introduce myself since I'm sure plenty of new people have arrived. I'm Rika Furude and I was here in Johto for two years before I went home. It's nice to meet all of you. Nipaa~

[She grins before shutting off the feed.]

[She smiles at the familiar face, but it drops just a little at the mention of fall.]

Mii... It's been a long time, then.

[uuing]

... Is that a bad thing? [ she can notice that drop, even if it's slightly, and it's enough to make her frown a little in worry. ]

You don't look so happy..

[complexrestart]

[She shakes her head.] No, not at all. I just didn't think I'd been gone for so long.

[uuing]

It's since times goes re-ally, really fast when you're having fun! [ .. gasp! suddenly she seems to realise something. ] Uu-, Maria's sorry, sorry! It's since Maria was having so much fun that the time went so fast!

[complexrestart]

[She gives her a comforting smile.] It's alright. I'm glad Maria was having fun.

[uuing]

Really..? Uu-, Rika doesn't mind it after all that so much time passed? [ she's still a little worried! ]

sorry for being late!

[complexrestart]

... I think I mind a little, but I should make the best of it, right?
