Serious question. Not about moons or relationships or love, promise.

Any trainers in you lot? I’m itching for a good old battle. Flygon’s getting restless, too.

Hit me up if you’re looking for a good time. C’mon, don’t be shy. It’ll be epic.

( out of context of knowing what a “trainer” is, this sounds like a terrible tinder ad gone wrong. )

Personal trainer? I do all my training myself. Both pokemon and physical workouts.

[kingfuckboy]

is that your pet?

you train your pets? to do tricks? fight??

i don't think i've seen anything like that here, though. sorry.

only like personal trainers and stuff.

[raihorn]

Wouldn’t say they’re pets. More like teammates.

Sucks I’m the only one I guess.

What do people do for fun here then?

[kingfuckboy]

um

take some classes for something you enjoy
spend time playing sports or other activities
go to clubs, bars, and things like that at night

it's typical big city stuff

[raihorn]

Used to the city.
Just not a place like this.
You a good tour guide?

[kingfuckboy]

i've been here uh...five months or so

[raihorn]

More than me, so it works.
If you got a sense of humor, we’ll be good to go.

[kingfuckboy]

Food stalls. And a weird goat vendor?

[kingfuckboy]

[raihorn]

You got it.

But just in case.

[kingfuckboy]

[raihorn]

I’ll stay put right here.

Glad to know someone knows that word.
Thought I was losing my mind.

[ Hey, he won't text back, instead - he's just going to make his way there, so if there's a long delay in any answer, that's why. But - Raihan's pretty easy to spot, and JJ lifts up his hand in a wave and answers his text out here. Because why not. ]

What word? Selfie?

[ Yep. That's how he's going to start this conversation. ]

[raihorn]

Yeah. Wouldn’t believe how many people don’t know it.

( he waves a hand despite not really needing to. )

Never actually got your name, helpful host.

( but he’s going to extend his hand, though!! )

[kingfuckboy]

You know, I never got yours, either. Just your face. I'm JJ.

[ A grin and he takes the offered hand, shaking it eagerly, because that's just who he is. He considers that, though. ]

Yeah, I've showed some people their way around these devices. But they're not really anymore challenging than a smartphone.

[ Definitely not ]

Things like selfies and smoke detectors and social media...Things like that are new. You'd be surprised.
