Right. I have a few questions about all of this:

1. From what I can tell, we seem to be the Pokemon Mafia. At the very least, we're organized criminals. That said, why on earth are we calling ourselves *Team Rocket* of all things? It's not exactly a name engineered to strike fear in the hearts of many.

2. I realize that it's not likely a criminal organization would have vision or dental coverage, however: would it be possible to request prescription contacts for use when wearing my uniform?

3. Who should I talk to in order to maximize my chances of gaining employment in the radio tower after training is over? I understand that there's no way to check my references, but I can provide a resume, once I get a chance to retype it.

What kind of thoughts?

[What? He's curious.]

[insidescoop]

We went into a cave once and he obsessively checked every nook and cranny to test the limits of the game and honestly whenever something HAPPENS here, he'll probably try to do the opposite of the thing that makes sense.

Which, doesn't work, as you can guess!

It's definitely gotten him arrested (off job at least, so).

[fingersandteeth]

If he does think we're in a game, I suppose that would make sense that he'd be checking everywhere. He wouldn't want to miss some loot, after all.

[insidescoop]

Somehow I feel like he was looking for more literal breaks in reality.

[Can't Imagine Why.]

I honestly wish it was loot at this point! People get stuff for helping out here, so he'd probably do that instead of fighting cops!

[fingersandteeth]

I mean, that's actually a reasonable reaction to being supernaturally kidnapped. I wonder if he's been through it before too.

[insidescoop]

At the levels he's taking, it's REALLY NOT!

Please don't encourage him :[

[fingersandteeth]

Have *you* ever been abducted to another world before this?

[insidescoop]

Look, I'm not saying there's no reason to try and look for a way out. If I wasn't dead, I'd probably do the same thing!

But I am going to say that putting your health aside, deliberately going against helping the people you're stuck with, and harming the things around you in the process is the wrong way to do it!

I'm not going to stop him from spending two weeks scouring a cave. He'll figure himself out.

But I'd appreciate it if people didn't tell him that deliberately causing problems for everyone was the greatest idea!

[fingersandteeth]

I see. *That* is what you mean by the 'levels he's taking.'

[insidescoop]

I was trying to be subtle about it, but it's really hard to grasp the levels without saying it outright huh...

[fingersandteeth]

[He's quiet for a very long moment before he types:]

It probably doesn't help that when I was supernaturally abducted before, the only way anyone got back *was* finding those cracks in reality.

[insidescoop]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmthat wouldn't help no

[fingersandteeth]

Honestly, I still haven't decided whether or not I think I'm back yet, just in a different part of it.

[insidescoop]

Hopefully it's...better regardless?

I mean to be honest, there's stuff that's better than my home here in spades. I haven't been this financially stable since...

well

I'm financially stable now~

[fingersandteeth]

Given that I'm no longer trapped underground for 95% of the time? And there's actually artificial lights down here? And I actually know what I'm eating most of the time?

Yes. It's better than where I was taken before.

[insidescoop]

wow

Just wait until you're out of training, you're in for a treat then.

[fingersandteeth]

It's just this one week, right?

[insidescoop]

Yep!

It was still two when I joined, man...

Oh, I guess you'll be out before then though, since there's a lot of practical training out in the city proper? So there's that too.

[fingersandteeth]

Yeah. Maybe I can catch myself something else while I'm at it. If we're meant to use Pokemon for everything in this world, I might as well build up a strong team.

[insidescoop]

Yeah!

....

Between you and me, they don't exactly check to see if you stole your quota either, so stocking up where you can isn't a bad idea.

But when it comes to teams! I'm actually able to keep a team specifically for Rocket things now- it's pretty handy to be able to say 'what no, I don't have any of Thooooose on my team'.

[fingersandteeth]

Honestly, as things stand, I'd rather put in the extra effort to catch something I won't use than to risk myself every other week for our damn quota.

[insidescoop]

:]

[Yes she's implying that this is all she does.]

Good luck with catching~!

Stay on top of how many pokeballs you have! Oh-

And advice! There's a few locations with Rocket bases. And all the cities have connecting teleports. You uh....get a bit motion sick if you use too many buUUUUT!

We also have certain free resources, right..? Like food, and bed...

The food is the big one though stock up on some tupperware if you catch my drift. We're using as much of the company dime as possible~

[fingersandteeth]

If they're going to force us to work for them, it's only right we take advantage of them in every way possible.

[insidescoop]

Exactly~!

See you in the field!~
