oh shit sorry dude i forgot i was supposed to tell you when i got into town
in my defense a lot was sort of happening at once and i actually ended up getting to cherrygrove nigh instantaneously?? so i wouldve been calling you back like five minutes after i hung up
and i mean thats a lot of strider to process at once
anyway hey sup i made it in one unfrostbitten piece
hows your trip going

[awesmazings]

no its okay! im on the road right now anyways so ive been kindof distracted too
might be a couple days before i can send your egg since we literally just left town
i think its three days to pwettr tho f
sorry typing with one hand

*three days to Pewter so it wont be too much longer
glad to hear you made it though!

[callbacks]

yeah thanks
and hey no rush
im trying to build up some savings and shit and wrangle myself a better traveling wardrobe before i head out so i should still be here
and its not like im going to dictate the terms of this nice thing youre doing for me
im not that much of an ungrateful asshole

[awesmazings]

thats a good idea! if you need a job, the pokemon center is always looking for people to help out. and as long as you work for at least five days you can quit whenever after that
it makes making some quick money pretty easy

[callbacks]

i do like quick money
there isnt a stock exchange we can get in on is there
because i am
SO good at money

[awesmazings]

what is a stock exchange?

[callbacks]

they dont have public trading where youre from?

[awesmazings]

I guess not! i have no idea what youre talking about

[callbacks]

they do have MONEY where youre from at least right

[awesmazings]

yeah, of course! Why?

[callbacks]

look you never know
assuming youve got a capitalist economy though a stock exchange is like
...
like
when companies get big enough they get these things called stocks which are like...
..............
......................................
invisible money

[awesmazings]

invisible money?

[Well, considering the fact that the ruler of his world is both the richest and owns the biggest company there is, he's probably the reason they don't need stocks. You don't need them when you're literally the only business there is to funnel money into.]

woah...why would you want money you cant even spend, though?

[callbacks]

well the value of stocks fluctuates according to the principles of supply and demand and how well the company is doing so the point of the game is to buy as much as you can when the price is low and then sell at the highest peak and
like
look
i was thirteen last time i interacted with the stock market and while i fucking owned that shit like nothing has ever been owned before
like seriously i literally possessed the entire goddamn planet basically
i also probably didnt understand the economic principles behind it as well as i thought i did
all i know is gaming the market made me hella cash hella fast

[awesmazings]

[...god he barely understood any of that but it sounds cool.]

i think the reason there arent things like that here is cause like
people can make their own money with meowth and persians using pay day or whatever
so there's really no point
like if everybody cared to own one and trained it up enough they prolly wouldnt have to work ever

[callbacks]

well that just takes all the fun out of it

[awesmazings]

exactly! thats why I work at the circus

[callbacks]

yeah you mentioned that
what do you do are you like the guy that gets shot out of a cannon or what

[awesmazings]

naaah
well i guess i could if i wanted
im a jack-of-all-trades, joker- the ringleader- says
so i can fill pretty much any act that we need
im kinda like his right hand guy

[callbacks]

thats cool
what kind of acts do you do
i ask out of genuine curiosity since im not sure ive ever been to an actual big tent show circus

[awesmazings]

balancing acts, juggling...and my friend ron was

he was teaching me how to throw knives

[There's a weird gap, there. Maybe Jimmy's thumb just slipped.]

[callbacks]

[Whether or not the gap strikes Dave as odd, it's not like he's going to bring it up.]

youre not a clown on top of all that are you

[awesmazings]

naah, id say joker's the clown, not me

[callbacks]

haha just checking
my friend john
the way you talk reminds me of him a little actually
anyway that kid totally hated clowns it was ridiculous

[awesmazings]

john huh?
I had a friend here named john too actually
he was really cool. one of the first people who talked to me when i got here actually
never asked him about his stance on clowns tho

[callbacks]

what a crazy and random coincidence
johns are probably one of those universal constants though
you know like shitty soda
and frogs
