[It's actually a nice day out, today, and that's evident in this video when it starts. Several days of rain made for unpleasant traveling, but Jimmy was fine with staying in Azalea for a bit longer. It's a sleepy little town that he actually finds quite pleasant. He'd been so used to things just constantly happening, back home, so having long stretches of downtime like this had the tendency to make him restless. Traveling with someone helped to alleviate that, at least.

The dappled shadows cast across Jimmy's face and shoulders indicate how large the tree he's lounging under is, his Furret curled around his back to serve as a fuzzy cushion. He's not wearing his jacket for once since the rain finally decided to leave for a day, left in his usual green T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers. The shirt is obviously not the same as the one he arrived in, if the pokeball insignia on the pocket is anything to go by.

Next to him in the grass is a Treecko, peering up at him with wide, yellow eyes. She seems to be running on the idea that if she can't see Jimmy, he can't see her, making her perfectly camouflaged in the grass and at a perfect angle to pounce playfully on his fingers when he's not looking. He doesn't seem to mind it, though, wiggling them a little to encourage her as she rolls over with a squeak before bounding off and to hide in the taller grass again.

Jimmy seems a little subdued today. Not unhappy or upset at all, just...thoughtful. It's a little unusual for him, but he's had a lot of time to think while on the road again. He never aged back home, so now that a year's gone by, time really seems to be flying in Johto.

After a moment he talks, not looking at the screen just yet.]


So there's somethin' I've been wondering about, lately. Back home in Miseryville, I never really...

[He pauses, trying to find the right words.]

...I never really did anything, yaknow? Like I mean- my friend Heloise worked as an inventor and helped design pretty much all the products sold back home. My friend Beezy...well, he didn't do much either, but his dad rules everything so he's gonna end up taking his job one day anyway, so he doesn't really have to do anything yet, I guess. Molotov's a body guard, Samy's a secretary guy...

I did have little jobs sometimes. Like, I was a product tester once...and then I worked as a cook at a restaurant for a little while. But other than stuff like that, I never really had anything I was known for. I guess it's just kinda weird to think about that, since I work with the Circus here...that's pretty much what I've done since I got here.

So, I guess I wanted to ask you guys what you do, back home? Did you have any cool jobs or businesses that you ran? Maybe just a hobby or something? If you wanna talk to me about it, I'm not really doing anything today.

[He turns to watch the Treecko jump at his hand again before switching off the feed.]

[ Head tilt. ]

I thought evolution was supposed to be permanent.

Hmmm. So it's more like a temporary power boost than true evolution.

Oh, that's in Cianwood, right? I still haven't been there, actually! The way things are going, I'll probably head over there last...

That's more or less what it feels like! I think everyone should have the chance to get what it feels like to be royalty, though. Living in a castle and getting all the luxuries and whatnot...

You've never been to school before? Not even elementary school?

[Which are mandatory to attend back home for him.]

Well, subjects like math, science, language, history and so on! Those are some of the subjects practically every school teach. They usually teach you things that's suppose to prepare you for the future.

At... Misery Inc.? I hope that doesn't refer to their employees' work conditions. I swear we can offer better than that.

Just in my world. If you've got demons in yours, can't really say if they'd be the same.

[ unlike his boss, Ron's a bit more open minded about things being different in other worlds... Even demons. ]

but now you've got me curious. Why the sudden reevaluating of your life and all?
captainash: (surprised)

............What kind of job is that?

[Congratulations, Jimmy. You've broken Ash's brain.]

[Gosh he's so glad this it's text because he's grinning so much right now.]

Sure thing. I'm in Cherrygrove so it will take awhile to get there.

But I promise the moment I get to Goldenrod I'll let you know

...notifs what the actual hell

[personal profile] nullorvoid 2015-07-14 01:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Not really. This is pretty much what I do.

I'm not going to complain too much about it; everyone's got to be somewhere, right?

[ And he listens intently to what Jimmy has to say, interjecting a thiughtful hum every now and then. ]

s'that it, then...? What I've heard so far though is that even if you've all these things that're the same in some worlds, not everything's the same, yeah?

[ And a small shrug. ]

so... Even if demons in my world aren't the nicest sort... Doesn't quite mean it'll be the same in all worlds. Besides, your lot can't be all that bad even if you've been around them. You turned out alright, after all!

...The market for misery-creating products cannot possibly be large enough to make it a sustainable industry.

[Concentrating on the business aspects almost helps him visualize it. Almost.]

Oh! Ah, ahah, that. Yeah. Now that, I don't think anyone can predict.
