[lifebloomsanew]

Oh my goodness look what I found!

[Rose, in her haste and excitement, has not dialed the right number. She also has not realized this. The video pans to a Snover sitting in the snow. A Snover...wearing what looks like a crooked cardboard party hat that's seen better days.]

The poor thing was stuck in a box someone set out full of old things! They're supposed to be very curious, I'm sure she was just trying to see what was in there...

I don't think she has a trainer, so I'm bringing her back to the caravan!

[songstressedout]

Oh! Um, that's really cute, but... I think you might have dialed the wrong number.

[ It's definitely a cute sight, though. Yuzu, on her end, seems to have only recently woken up based on how her hair is down, she's in her pajamas, and she's got a big Lycanroc snuggled up to her as she sits up in bed. ]

[lifebloomsanew]

Oh gosh I'm so sorry! I did dial the wrong number! I do that sometimes.

Well, that's okay. I'm sure it's not a problem if I bring my new friend home. I don't have a Snover! And they do say it's important for breeders to have all different kinds of Pokemon!

[songstressedout]

That's true! Not that I'm a breeder, but having lots of different Pokemon would definitely help with that.

[ She'd been sleeping in, but she may as well take this opportunity to get up... even if the orange wolf immediately moans about it. ]

[lifebloomsanew]

And with how many Pokemon there are...it's hard to keep to a reasonable number!

But I suppose that's why it's encouraged to catch and hatch so many!

How many Pokemon do you have?

[Rose is more than happy to randomly make friends over the gear.]

[songstressedout]

[ Yuzu giggles. This person seems nice! Since they didn't just immediately hang up upon realizing they dialed the wrong number, making friends doesn't seem like too bad of an idea. ]

Right? It's honestly mind-boggling how many there are...

[ Not that she can talk, what with how many Duel Monsters exist back in her world, but whatever. ]

Mm... I think I stopped counting after a little while. I've been here a whlie, so I've got a lot of them now.

[lifebloomsanew]

Every time I think I've heard of all of them, I learn about new ones!

You know, I did, too. I've been here so long and I just keep ending up with more and more Pokemon friends...

Sometimes it gets very crowded in the caravan!

What was your starter?

[songstressedout]

My starter? She was an Eevee! Though she's a Sylveon now. Aria?

[ Hearing Yuzu call out for her, the gear picks up the sound of scampering before a Sylveon suddenly jumps up onto Yuzu's shoulder, ribbons wrapping around her head to keep stable. ]

W-Whoa...! Yep, here she is!

[lifebloomsanew]

Oh how lovely! And what a beautiful name!

And a beautiful Pokemon! Hello, Aria, it's very nice to meet you!

[songstressedout]

[ Aria coos, clearly appreciating the praise. ]

Ehe, thanks! I liked coming up with music-themed names back when I first got here.

[lifebloomsanew]

My husband did the same thing! He named all of his Pokemon after favorite songs.

But I've just realized I don't know the name of Aria'strainer!

I'm Rose Quartz, it's very nice to meet you.

[songstressedout]

Oh! Right, I'm Yuzu. Yuzu Hiiragi! Nice to meet you! Oh, Rose Quartz... like the gemstone?

[ Huh... you don't usually get people named after gemstones... though she supposes if your last name is Quartz you may as well go all in on that naming convention. ]

[lifebloomsanew]

Exactly like the gemstone! All of my people are gemstones.

[songstressedout]

All of your people? Wait, how does that work...?

[ At first she had started thinking of a friend from home with a special interest in gemstones, but now she was just curious about THAT. ]

[lifebloomsanew]

What do you mean? That's just what we are! The core of ourself is a gemstone, and we project physical light to make our 'bodies'.

[songstressedout]

Huh? Oh... OH!! So kind of like Real Solid Vision...! So you're like... a solid hologram? But you're actually a living gemstone?

[ Whoa... she thought she couldn't be surprised by the many different places people here come from, but here she is. ]

[lifebloomsanew]

Yes exactly like a hologram that's solid! You're very smart.

Most people get confused - not that I blame them, I know we aren't like other lifeforms.

[songstressedout]

I bet they would... though I guess I'm a bit of a special case as well? I'm not a hologram or anything, but back home, we have solid holograms and stuff. It's called Real Solid Vision... because we had regular holograms before that, and we just call that Solid Vision... and then Real Solid Vision is when the holograms are given mass and become solid.

[ Yuzu is probably one of the few people who would immediately grasp what Rose was talking about... ]

Lifeforms... so are you like, aliens then?

[lifebloomsanew]

Really? How wonderful!

[Rose rarely meets anyone who has something so similar to compare to.]

Well, I think we're all aliens here! But that's what people on Earth called us, yes. We came from a different planet, very very far away.

But I lived on Earth.

[songstressedout]

Huh, I guess so...

[ Well, for the most part at least, mostly everyone who ends up here is originally human right? Though in the sense that they all come from different worlds, she supposes that they could be considered aliens. ]

Really? Why did you live on Earth?
