[Ryoji's been between Goldenrod and Ecruteak for a while now - he would've gone on to Olivine, had things gone down there that he really wasn't sure what to make of... hadn't gone done there - but today, he resides outside of the theater in Ecruteak.

Oh, he's looking happy. He's still pretty shimmery though.]

No matter how many times I see it, the dance never gets old. It reminds me a lot of the geishas in Kyoto -- ah, but Junpei-kun and I never got to see them. What a shame... [...They would've been lovely.] I wonder if I could get my Pokémon to dance like that?

[There is an unbelieving snort behind him, and Ryoji turns his smile and charm on his grumpy Absol.]

I think Orihime-chan would look really nice, don't you? I mean, there's even already an Umbreon with the girls. She would really be perfect for it.

[OH YES--]

Orihime-chan recently evolved into an Umbreon, and Helmet-chan-- ah, Helmet-kun evolved into a Gallade the last time I was in Goldenrod... I had to pay for the Dawn Stone though. I caught my first Pokémon at the Bug Catching Contest, too - his name is Fuu-kun, and he's a Butterfree. He's as strong as Mina-kun is! It's really exciting. Fuu-kun's really shy though, so I don't think I could show him to you guys like I usually do... Mina-kun'll have to do.

[He leaans back and pulls the Absol over. What? No, the Absol was totally struggling. He didn't get pulled over willingly. He hasn't, like, gotten used to people or something. ~~Bakas.~~]

He and Orihime-chan have gotten really friendly all of a sudden, and I wonder if that means they're going to hav--

[The feed ends there, because a certain Absol doesn't want that kind of thing aired out about him.]

I'm so glad to hear the Kimono girls are doing well.

[ ooc: i guess they should know each other since they traveled together, i think... if this is wrong, feel free to let me know! ]

Oh, Ryoji. [ a pause. ] Where are you right now? Is that a theater?

[ possible... venue...? ]

Did something happen to them before? [He wasn't really around for that --]

It was a long time ago, but someone blew up their theater and hurt them very badly. But we pulled together, helping the girls, and put together a play to help raise funds for them.

[ooc: that's fine! i was thinking the same thing anyway]

Ah, Makoto-chan. [Man he misses his idol girls, actually.] Yes. It's the dance theater in Ecruteak.

[-- oh, idols] If you're thinking of doing a show here, you'd probably have to ask the girls if it'd be all right.

I'm glad they're fine now. It sounds terrible... [...] Was it done by the same people who attacked the centers a month or two ago?

We don't know. The attacker didn't show his face when the theater was attacked, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were connected.

I didn't know there was a dance theater. I'll have to go check it out sometime.

Eheh... was it that obvious? [ it probably was... ] I dunno, I wouldn't want to take someone else's stage. But maybe if they're okay with it...

[ she was going to comment on the dance and... bold comment, but something unfamiliar kind of catches her-- ]

Geishas?

Ohoho~! The joys about love and pokemon~! [ A thinly veiled reference to Orihime and Mina's love. ] I've never actually seen eggs being laid or produced, so keep your eyes open for me! I'd love to know why mammals now lay eggs!

[ She giggles. ] Ah~! You know, I have an interest in Japanese dancing! I might be able to teach pokemon willing to learn~!

I wonder who would do such terrible things... Has anything else happened?

You're all idols, so I just figured that that's what you'd be after. [He really is pretty sorry for just going after it like that --] They don't do dances all the time, so you could probably see if you could rent it for a night or two. I'll even help pay.

[Because he recently won like 50k in a contest --]

Nothing related to the Kimono girls, thank goodness. They've always been so kind.

You sound as though you're doing well these days, Ryoji.

[And from the sound of it, he's pleased for you! He likes hearing that others he knows are doing well, really.]

Do you have that much money...? [ she's always been a bit tightly scrapped for it, mostly because she spends a little on whatever thing manages to catch her fancy where she goes. ]

But... that'd be really cool, if we really could! I know some of the others have wanted to do a performance, we just weren't sure where to do it.

They are, even when they're rejecting you.

[...It's like no NPC is going to go out with him because they're all busy

maybe he should start taking battles for dates from lasses.]

I hope things are peaceful for a few more months.

I won a contest earlier in the week, so I guess I've got a little more than I know what to do with.

[ryoji pls you used to claim you were wealthy --]

I'll ask the girls for you, if you want.

I hope so too.

What's your name, dear?

[wOW YOU KNOW THIS ABSOL DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOU BEFORE RANGIKU

but he's got his eyes on you now

he's watching you]

I'll see if -- [-- yes okay Mina-kun he'll not say anything. But dancing!] Do you really, Rangiku-san? I'll see if any of my team wouldn't mind learning.

[And Ryoji likes hearing the same!]

I am, and I hope you've been doing well too. [He hasn't talked to Zulf since... Let's see, since Zia left, right?

(He misses her. She was cute.)]

[ooc: idk if they're on speaking terms rn but ~~w/e i do what i want~~ we can always claim time shenanigans happened]

What's a 'geisha'?

I'm Ryoji Mochizuki. [If he could offer his hand, he would -- but he'll give her a more charming-than-usual smile in place of it.] It's a pleasure to meet you.

My name is Minnie Mouse. It's a pleasure to meet you too, Ryoji.

Geishas are beautiful women who tell stories through dance. [They're also trained to entertain men with talk and song, but hey --] Back in [--my?] the world I came from, our school trip was to Kyoto, which is famous for its historical buildings and traditions. And geishas. Ah, the hot springs weren't too bad either.

[He knows as much about them as any tourist, really.]

[-- Minnie Mouse ??


the

Minnie Mouse?]

Ah, like the character?
