Ahhh... [Such a happy sigh, here.]

You know what's an extra-weird thing about this no one has mentioned yet? This is a repeated world change - kind of. Years ago now, we went to a world that had Pokémon too. I guess it's probably the same world! I haven't seen any of the kind of Pokémon here that were there, but maybe it's just a matter of time... and anyway, that world change was my favorite one I'd ever been on! I think if I had to live in any world that the castle changed in to for keeps, I'd pick this one.

[She goes quiet for a second. She remembers Zexion asking her that question... the first world change took place when he was still around. She wonders if he's here somewhere. Maybe he'll talk to her if she is. Or maybe she'll broach the subject.]

This world is a lot of fun and it's really interesting and beautiful. And there's so much to explore! And to be honest, I really like Pokémon. Tad has been one of my best friends ever since I met him on the first world change. I hope everyone has fun. This will probably only last a week, anyway... [Her voice drops a little. She's disappointed, yeah. Rin could spend a month here, or even more.

Then reminded of something:]

Ah, yeah, for those of you who saw me... um, I'm older again. That was a quick loss it seems. [Little does she know, ohoho.]

[Zexion]

[A little hopeful:] Hey... are you here?

[Open: for those of you who have hit the ground running, you might run into Rin face to face! She went through Route 4, the desert resort, and hit Nimbasa City already, acquiring a new Maractus along the way. She'll go back over it more later and then push on... maybe to Driftveil, or maybe Mistralton? She just wants to see as much of the world as possible.

Anyway, she's sitting on a bench in a public park, kicking back and keeping an eye on her Pokémon. Tad the Arcanine and Certain the Absol are curled up licking each other, while the new Maractus is wobbling in place, staring back at Rin. Apparently it's (at least temporarily) put down roots.]

Hmm, you need a name... [She looks up at the sky, still relaxing on the park bench.] But it has to be a good name. I guess it can wait, anyhow.

I wonder if we should just sleep here in the park tonight...

Well, I was here a few months before that, I just don't remember it.

Where did you end up?

Ah, a fast turnaround...

Anyway, I'm in this city called Nimbasa! There's a bunch of stuff to do here. A gym, an amusement park, there's this place called the battle subway, stadiums where people are doing sports, all kinds of things! And tons of people. Where are you?

Hey, me too!

[ Because why the hell not. HE'S BEEN ON THE MOVE LOOKING FOR A GIANT, ESCAPED CAT. And sometimes a girl. Maybe she's always a girl now, he's not sure! ]

Don't really have the time to goof off and train unfortunately, but I'm definitely seeing a lot!

[Giant escaped cat??? GOODNESS WHAT WEIRD ADVENTURES ARE YOU HAVING BOY]

Oh! I'm in a park on Victory Street... where are you?

[ THE WEIRDEST. ]

By the musical theater.

Did you compete a Pokémon there?

Hahah, no, but that does seem pretty cute.

I'll be over in... well, a little bit, if you want to hang around.

Sure! I plan on sticking around this city for at least another day, as big as it is. [ For this place, anyway. ]

Okay. I'm probably going to move along, but I might spend the night here. [She just closes the journal there, haha, to go recall Maractus and Certain and jump on Tad again. Sure enough, in short order Tad comes loping up the sidewalk with Rin astride. He does take up a lot of that sidewalk too.]

[ And he is just lurking around outside with Vulpix, looking at a map. When he glances up to see them, Jr. smiles and waves. ]

Nice to see you two didn't get separated.

[Grinning and waving right back.]

Yeah, I would be pretty worried if we had! I was just a kid still when the castle was flooding, you know? I had no idea where Tad even was. I guess the castle was nice enough to put us back together here. [She scratches Tad's ruff as she talks a bit, and the Arcanine grunts in enjoyment. There's a good boy.]

That's right. Glad to see you're back to your old self.

[ It had been so strange to talk to Rin with her memory wiped. He'd felt it would just be rehashing the old if he'd followed her around while she was a kid, too, as tempting as it had been to check on her. ]

Have you signed any of yours up for this musical thing?

[Rather oblivious to the precise content of Jr's thoughts at the moment, Rin just glances up at the building, raising her eyebrows briefly at its cute/tacky splendor.]

No... how is this even supposed to work? Tad can do a lot of stuff but I don't know if he can sing.
