[Connie's eyes widen for a moment, then her expression becomes carefully, calmly neutral. Carly's making some good points here. But, and this is the crucial part...]
Interesting. Maybe we should discuss this in person at some point?
[...talking about casually gaming the system on technology given to her by said system might not be the greatest idea? Connie is probably being paranoid, but it pays to be careful.]
Pauses. Frowns, and looks down, starts muttering....uh...] well I know there's a train, but there's two weeks for orientation...
...mnnnnhhh but the others at that base...
[HMMM, HMMMM!!] ...Did you get here....just today?
In person is great, I just need to do some math! Actually it...might be better that way?
There's a lot more to this place than Team Rocket, obviously, and... [She........grimaces.] ...The guy that trained me is okay and all, but honnnnnnestly I don't think most of the guys at the base are great for....advice...
[Phew. Carly seems like a good person—too good for the Rockets, really—but discussing this sort of thing on a device that had a very high probability of being wiretapped seemed like a bad idea.]
I... don't know, actually. I have a few vague memories of arriving in this world half a week ago, but those three days are really hazy. I woke up in my bunk here yesterday.
[Pearl was there, so it was probably a weird dream. Probably.]
Yeah, I'll... [Connie's eyes glaze over briefly as she recalls the chaos that she's witnessed in the few days that she's been at the base.] That seems correct. Where would be a good place to meet up once I'm done with basic training next Sunday?
[Yeah that was a weird time she won't go there. BUT HEY.]
Well! Right now we're in separate countries...But! I can wire you a ticket for the train, which is actually in your city! It'll bring you to Saffron- there's another base there, we should definitely get you registered for a dorm there, [she rambles, gesturing about wildly as the pokemon mill around. There's a bulbasaur cuddling a santa-bulba. Aww.]
Free food is really good when we can get it, because while I do have a bit of a kitchen, I definitely don't have the kind of options the cafeteria does! I mean...it's nothing fancy at the grunt's cafeteria either, but still! And, when there's time to stop in, that means baths, a better bit of bed rest...oh.
[heck] Uhhhh....
I. Mm. I have...one bed? It's... ...I'm pretty sure it's a bit wider than a double..?
Oh dear... ...I'll figure something out! Either way it's way too cold to be using a tent on the road, brrr! So don't worry about that.
Oh! Oh gosh, no it's fine! I'll just get one of those foam divider things, I think I saw one somewhere...
...Wouldn't want to uh, end up with someone's foot in the other's face, [she coughs, shaking her head.] Oh~ Yeah~
Uh...there's a good number here, not from my...usual? Original team?
I decided it might be best to use a different team in Kanto... ...also I kinda realized that having the same pokemon while on a Rocket assignment could get really incriminating, and I mean...I haven't been on a LOT of those, but I really want to be careful! The cops here are spooky!
[LIKE CLONES...]
Anyway, anyway...
[There's some fumbling with the camera- aha.
The whole team! Minus Milcery] So there's Red, you met them earlier....and that's Kyusei, and Miss Claus...Baby Boo...though that's not really their name, aha...
Annnnd Solitaire~ I think you have the same kind of pokemon actually, I think I saw one anyway.... [she mutters partly to herself.]
[Connie chuckles at the mental image (she wasn't an especially energetic sleeper, but still), then her face momentarily darkens at the mention of the practicalities of being a member of a wanted criminal organization.]
[Right. Crime. She was going to have to find a way to cope with that. Hoboy.]
Yeah... yeah, that makes sense-
[The Alolan Vulpix interrupts Connie by sneezing in her sleep, letting out a high-pitched rumble as she shakes her head, yawns, and wakes up. She cocks her head to the side, looking at the screen, and bats a paw towards Solitaire.]
[It is indescribably adorable.]
Oh, right! This is Amaterasu—Amy for short—and the grump over there, [Connie points at the Luxio, pouting in his sleep,] is Nemean. Y'know, like the Nemean Lion?
Is...that from a story? I definitely know Amaterasu, I can say that much! Didn't expect an Ice Type for the sun goddess mind...
A-Anyways I'm going to get the ticket set up...in the meantime though, take advantage of the training week; explain needing things like clothes to be undercover, camping supplies, that kind of thing- really push the limits there, they won't do anything worse than grumble about it worst case, but it saves a LOT of trouble! And, I mean, I suspect you don't want to hang around my camper forever, at least not once the weather warms up...
Oh, I was thinking the train station itself actually! It's not exactly the smartest plan, having someone wander around a city they've never been to otherwise, you know..?
Since you're training across Goldenrod, you should at least know where that station is... ...and I'll bet that even with whatever you get from rocket funds, you won't have too much luggage. So it's easy to pick you up that way!

[Camping in the North while chasing after Squaridot was not a fun time.]
I'd also offer my expertise in hunting, but something tells me that would be a capital crime in this world.
[don't hurt the mons connie]
Anyways, I'm looking forward to getting out of this testosterone-soaked dump.
no subject
You'd rather go...outside than split the bed..? [She looks rather defeated.]
D-Definitely, there's no need to hunt!! I've got a fridge in here you know, Solitaire keeps it cold and everything!!
