[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.]

I'd have to learn to make good food, first! I mean, it already takes everything I have not to eat all the food I'm supposed to bring to people's tables, when I'm working as a waitress...

You would, yeah! But it's not all it's cracked up to be, as fun as it is sometimes. There's a lot of responsibilities and meetings and stuff...

Yeah, I did it in Violet City for a little while, and I liked it so much I started doing it in Goldenrod and Olivine, too! It's actually really fun, when you do it for a while everyone is really friendly and they remember your name when they come in and talk to you and everything! I even got my sister to do it a little bit, too, and she really enjoys it...

Oh, that's easy! Getting to know all the people is the best! Talking to everyone in Arendelle and making sure they have what they need is always my favorite part. That, and doing big things at the castle!

Maybe we'll make a stop back there soon! I'm actually on my way over to Ecruteak now but I kinda wanted to make a stop at the National Park before we go to Mahogany, I'm looking for a certain Pokemon there...

It's really nice, though! When you're a princess you have to be a bit more, y'know, prim and proper and whatnot. Which I don't really mind, but I'm a little clumsy, especially in big huge dresses...
loveisanopendoor: (Aww)

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...
