Ha ha. Let me guess, landed yourself a gig as a comedian?

[ Always the funny guy, York. But hey, she can appreciate the whole 'not dead thing' given her own experience with that. ]

So we're on our own for things. [ What's new. She jerks her thumb towards her Hitmonlee. ] And I just let him walk around with me?

[ratherbelocky]

[He just smiles at the first question and lets her keep guessing. Whatever she comes up with is bound to be more interesting than his current career, anyway.]

Yeah, pretty much. Or you can keep him in the ball if conditions get rough. You press the button to get it open, by the way.

[He points. So helpful, our Agent York.]

[failureisntachoice]

[ She stares at the ball, to the Hitmonlee, and then at York. He can't be serious about this. ]

...And he fits in here.

[ HE CAME OUT OF IT, but still. ]

[ratherbelocky]

That's what they tell me. None of mine have complained about the accommodations so far.

[His Luxray makes what might be an amused chuffing noise, tail twitching behind her.]

[failureisntachoice]

[ If it weren't for how solid the Luxray and Hitmonlee looked, she'd think they were holograms of AI. ]

I'm getting the impression they don't talk much. [ Unlike someone she knows. ] Anything else I should know before I go out into the wild?

[ratherbelocky]

[Before he says anything flip, York actually stops to consider his answer. He breathes a quiet half-laugh that has less to do with humor than with self-aware wryness. He said this already, but:]

Carolina's here, and she survived the crash, and she's about as happy as any of us can expect to be, after everything that happened.

[failureisntachoice]

...Yeah, I've seen her around. Didn't expect her to be thrilled. [ To see her or about any of this. ]

She was pissed I had my armor still.

[ratherbelocky]

[He laughs. Sounds like Carolina.]

Well, we've all had to make adjustments.

[Some more than others.]

You hear weapons are illegal here?

[failureisntachoice]

You're joking.

[ But even York knows better than to kid about something like that. ]

Weapons are illegal but we can walk around with creatures that can supposedly destroy cities?

[ratherbelocky]

Y'know, that's exactly what I said? But them's the breaks. No weapons, just unrestricted access to the cuddliest firepower imaginable.

[failureisntachoice]

And for some reason, whatever brought us here dragged in soldiers. [ Not the smartest move if weapons were illegal. She sighs. ]

Fine. I can pretend to be a civilian. [ Once she finds somewhere safe to stash her armor, anyway. ]

[ratherbelocky]

...Can you?

[York.]

[failureisntachoice]

If you and Carolina can? Yes. [ Don't push your luck, York. ]

[ratherbelocky]

Hey, hey, I'm a great civilian. Sometimes I even remember to say 'bye' instead of 'signing off.'

[Liar.]

Can't speak for Carolina, though.

[failureisntachoice]

Clever. [ Except not really. ] Where do they expect us to stay while we're stuck here?

[ratherbelocky]

The hotels around here are pretty affordable, long as you've got some income to speak of. Otherwise, well. Guess you didn't get a bedroll, huh?

I could spot you some cash if you need it.

[failureisntachoice]

Hotels? I was hoping for somewhere more permanent so I could blend in without losing my gear. [ Because like hell she's pawning that off or letting it get stolen. ]

[ratherbelocky]

Well, if you wanna buy a house, 'fraid you're on your own for that. [He's not THAT generous.] Most folks don't really seem to settle for long.

[failureisntachoice]

[ Flatly: ] That's my only option to store things safely? Then they better not bitch at me for walking around like this.
