[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.]

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.]

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.]

[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!

[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.

[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.

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.]

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.
