[Here's an irritated looking idol on the network. She's bundled up in a white parka with matching pants, a pink scarf, and some earmuffs that look like Cleffa's. Rise is pouting at the screen.]

So much for my summer at the beach! First it's way too hot, then it wouldn't stop storming, and now snow? This isn't funny! All I wanted was a easy trip to Olivine, but no, I've been stuck here in Ecruteak the whole time!

[She turns her gear around to show an Empoleon, Oshawott, Meowstic, and a Sylveon playing in the snow. All but the Empoleon were wearing some kind of winter gear made for Pokémon.]

At least these guys are having fun... Does anyone know how to make hot chocolate that's safe for Pokémon? I think they'd like that after they're done playing.




[ooc: if you're in the Ectruteak area, feel free to interact with her that way.]

I think something is wrong with the climate of this place. I'd suspect the moon but it didn't make much sense, given it looks normal on most nights.

I... think regular hot chocolate is actually safe for pokemon, though, but they seem to enjoy it if it's made with Miltank milk. I've been giving my pokemon some with that and they seem to be enjoying it.

[dangerousidol]

You think so? But... wouldn't it have happened earlier then?

I never thought about Miltank milk. Maybe it makes it safer for them? I'll have to try it. I was just told that too much human food can make Pokémon sick.

[esthetically]

That's why I'm actually starting to doubt it. [He sighs and just shakes his head.] It has to be related to other factors. I wish I was near a library right now to do more research...

Mm.... I think it depends on the food in itself. They're nature-based creatures, much like normal animals back home; too much processed food may make them sick. I'm... not sure, though; mine steal from my plate all the time, and they haven't given me too much trouble. [There's a fond smile as he says this.]

[dangerousidol]

Can't you read books over the Gears?

I don't eat a lot of junk, so the only time mine have ever gotten a little sick is from stealing my snacks... [A girls gotta eat healthy to stay in good shape.]

[video]

[esthetically]

Ah, you can but I prefer reading them physically. It's just a nuance but I find it easier to concentrate without the buzz of technology.

Then I think in that case you should be alright, especially if you're eating healthy. You may just have to hide your snacks!

[video]

[dangerousidol]

Oh, so you're a true bookworm then! [She'll stick with technology. Much less to carry.]

I'm not supposed to be eating snacks anyways. I'll get fat that way!

[video]

[esthetically]

A b-bookworm?! [He fiddles with his glasses, immediately ruffled.] I just like books, there's nothing weird with that!!

[He laughs.] Could I please take you to tell my friend from swim club? Eighty percent of his diet is snacks.

[video]

[dangerousidol]

It's not a bad thing. Why are you getting so flustered?

[She gasps.] You're part of a swim club? [Think of those muscles. Well built guys are amazing.]

[video]

[esthetically]

A-as long as it's not a bad thing. [He's used to being teased, it's kneejerk by now.

But after a few seconds, he lowers his hands to nod more clearly.] I am. I was previously in on the track team, but I switched to swimming during first year.

[video]

[dangerousidol]

I wish I was more of a bookworm, but that gets so boring after a while...

[Two sports? Wow!] You must be really strong then~

[video]

[esthetically]

You may just have to mix up where you read. I find it easier to read fictional material outdoors surrounded by the sounds of nature, and studying at a desk indoors. Sometimes the atmosphere changes help.

...I--I guess? I try to maintain a healthy amount of muscle mass and physical activity, but I've never thought of myself as particularly... strong.

[video]

[dangerousidol]

Never thought about doing something like that. We studied at a food court once because a lot of us were having troubles. Is that a good change of scenery? Or should we have picked a library?

You're definitely a lot stronger than me just having any kind of muscle. Girls with muscles aren't too cute, you know?

[video]

[esthetically]

Well, a library offers optimal studying, but sometimes some use background noise to assist with concentration. As long as the studying gets done, I guess? Food courts definitely do provide new scenery.

Hmm... Well, everyone ought to have some muscle. I guess it just depends on how much or how lean. I wouldn't say a muscular girl isn't cute, though; at least she is healthy, though I'd be worried she'd be easily able to punch me. [Valid concerns when you're friends with Gou.]

[video]

[dangerousidol]

I talked to a girl named Maka, and she said that studying here is an option. You must be a really good student if you keep studying here with no schools around.

Oh, I'm healthy. All the dancing I do keeps me in good shape! Though... Chie isn't so bad off. She's got a lot of lean muscle, and she's still a cute girl.
