[It's early in the afternoon, a while after a foreboding phone call, and the (mostly) unfamiliar brunette was popping up on the school network. Blue was taking a moment to marvel and the shiny interface of this computer, cause gosh she was mostly just used to the Pokecenter PCs and old spare one back home.]

Oh, it's working!

[She adjusted her hat and smiled broadly for the camera.]

Hello...! I guess you can already tell, but I'm new! I just came in from the Kanto area... You can call me Blue. I'll be an entering freshman for the University program once the new term starts.

I've heard this place has its fair number of Pokemon trainers already, so I hope no one minds one more. I'm really excited to meet all of you in person! ... Erm.. I'm not too used to doing a full fledged introduction, so is there anything else you'd like to know?

[She hesitated a moment, unsure if she was supposed to turn the camera off already or not. Then there was a moment of epiphany and she leaned in with a pointing finger, having remembered an important duty.]

Red, Green, I've got some stuff here for you guys. You better come get 'em!

Did you just get here? Like, just now, I mean.

Just a little while ago, actually. This morning. I figured I should get a little settled in before I tried to make an introduction.

[bestsweater]

Woah, Blue? It's been a while!

[travelingbelle]

[Blink and point.]

Brock! Gosh, I wasn't expecting to see you here! It has been a while, huh? How are you doing??

[bestsweater]

I'm doing well! I've been teaching here. How are things with you?

[travelingbelle]

Things have been well! I've been in the habit of getting myself completely lost places, and it's been working out wonderfully.

But what do you teach? Is this where a lot of the league ended up visiting at some point?

[rivalthunderbolts]

Lookie here, the gang's all here!

[travelingbelle]

[Ohhhh. Ohhhh hold on a second. Marie had just replied in text so Blue didn't have to do that much of a guessing game. CONGRATULATIONS JOLT YOU ARE HER FIRST PEOPLEMON.]

Ohh...!

[Blue is leaning in towards her computer screen as if that will help her get a better look at him.]

... Jolt? Is that you...?

[rivalthunderbolts]

Got it in one!

[travelingbelle]

[YES SHE IS THE BEST GUESSER. She beams.]

Oh good! I don't think anyone else could pull off hair like that, hehe.

[And, you know, the ears and such.]

[paletteknife]

Blue? ...I like the colour blue a lot, hee hee!

Is your rose blue, too?

[travelingbelle]

Do you? It's one of my favorites! But maybe that goes without saying... hehe.

... My rose...?

[paletteknife]

Huh? Don't you have one? Like this...

[She disappears from the camera for a moment, but returns with a vase with a yellow rose in it that she certainly did NOT pilfer from the greenhouse or anything, what would give you that idea, the broken stems in there have nothing to do with her. The rose is kind of wilting.]

I thought everybody had one.

[travelingbelle]

Oh!

[She smiles gently.]

No, I can't say I have one at the moment. I think blue is a rare color for a rose, isn't it? Did you pick that one yourself?

[rivalappeared]

So, uh... hey.

[travelingbelle]

Oh, hello.

[rivalappeared]

You all settled in?

[travelingbelle]

More or less! There wasn't very much to settle.

[Griiin.] How about you?
