[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

[awesmazings]

you sure about that? the soda we have in miseryville is pretty awesmazing if you ask me

[NOT REALLY it makes you breathe literal fire. I mean, that's cool if you're into that.]

[callbacks]

that may be dude that may be
but you cant tell me there isnt subpar soda in there along with the good shit
especially in a place named after literal misery

[awesmazings]

haha, youve got a point! but I think im prolly just more open minded when it comes to offbrand sodas

[callbacks]

yeah you could be
im not really a soda kind of guy in the first place
it seems like that and lemonade are the sugary vending machine concoctions of choice around here though
i mean i FOUND apple juice but it just doesnt look as popular? i dont really get it

[awesmazings]

yeah, people seem to like those! its either that or like, just plain water in the vending machines
do you like apple juice better?

[callbacks]

i like apple juice more than i like most sentient beings

[awesmazings]

pfff why do you like it so much?

[callbacks]

i dunno i never really thought about it
i mean i like gross processed shit like bottled juice across the board so maybe thats why
but that wouldnt explain why i like it more than soda or anything
i guess its just one of those arbitrary taste things i cant even justify by implying my obviously sophisticated palate is superior to all others
like why do people have favorite colors its not like particular wavelengths of reflected light have any more aesthetic value than the others

[awesmazings]

...well i like chocolate a lot, and i dont really have a reason either, so there prolly isnt really a reason
maybe our tastebuds are just different

[callbacks]

probably
im sure thereve been scientific studies to back up our well researched and peer reviewed hypothesis on the subject

[awesmazings]

maybe if you spread the word about apple juice enough, theyll start putting more kinds of juice in the machine!1!

[callbacks]

well shit see you man dave striders out to lay some GOSPEL TRUTH down on the populace

[awesmazings]

go dave i believe in u!!!

2/17 [Action] HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIMBO

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[How freaking nice is Jimmy Two-Shoes? His name is literally Jimmy Two-Shoes, what the heck. Not only did he fly her there - kind of fun, honestly, flying on the back of a Pokémon - but her hotel room's paid and provided for, even though it's...quite expensive. There's definitely a new inspiration for her to get into battling, much to Agatha's joy...

Today, they're meeting up outside the hotel, and he's going to show her around Goldenrod City, which...yeah, she has to admit, is kind of cool at first glance. Her Pokémon sure seem to like it, the four of them she has with her. Yes, four, because she awoke to a surprise this morning, that being the Trauma Friend Munna hatching from his egg. Hopefully Jimmy won't mind her little parade of small creatures, what with the Zubat snuggled into her neck and the Espurr staring at the sun and the Litwick looking for water-types to fight and the Munna just...floating there.

A fun team.

In any case. Here she is, waiting, stifling a yawn. (Yeesh, she can't wait to test out her Munna's powers.)]

[If Ashley was worried that Jimmy would have a problem with her gaggle of 'mons following her around, then she'll be pleasantly surprised when she sees him approaching the hotel from the distance. Incidentally, he'd been spending most of his morning checking up on Jack's Mansion along with all of the resident ghosts inside since they'd been left alone while he was traveling. Now, he's got his trusty Manectric partner trotting at his side while his Houndoom quietly pads along at the other. He thought about bringing more of his companions with him to meet Ashley, but...well, best not overdo it.

He pulls his hand from his pocket and gives her a wave in greeting once he and his canines venture close enough, a wide smile spreading across his face.]

Hi, Ashley! How'd you sleep last night?

[Action]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[What a loaded question.]

The, uh, hotel's really nice! Very comfy. Thank you again for putting me up.

[Doesn't really answer the question, but if she just presses on-] I see you're bringing your Pokémon out too. They're so much bigger than mine!

[She's only 5'3" so they're actually just a head shorter than here.]

[Action]

[awesmazings]

Happy to help! Oh yeah, I don't think you've gotten to meet these guys yet, have you?

[Jimmy bends down to one knee between the Manectric and Houndoom, a hand resting on each of their heads as he introduces them in turn. The Manectric looks happier to be here than the Houndoom does, but between them they have the patience of ten saints. Jimmy snickers when the Manectric bumps his nose against Jimmy's hand while the Houndoom moves to sit on the asphalt with a low snort.]

This here's my partner, Leader, and this is Lucius! They weren't always this big- both of them barely went past my ankles before they evolved!

[Action]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

They can get that big if they start off this small? [She glances at her Litwick, the smallest.] Well jeez, that'd be something to get used to.

Can I... I mean, do they like being pet...?
