[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!

Comments

[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?

[paletteknife]

Um... I...

[That's weird, how do people get by without roses? Wasn't that supposed to be a thing for people here? Now that Mary had a real one to fit in, was she still the odd one out? BOO...]

...I picked it. As a... decoration...? I had a blue rose once, too. A boy gave it to me. I didn't know they were rare...

[travelingbelle]

[Is it you that's the odd one out, Mary, or is it the girl without a flower ohhhhhh.]

Hmm... Well they seem to be where I'm from. Maybe not from where you come from though! Different places have different kinds of flowers, after all.

[paletteknife]

[BLUE ARE YOU... THE LADY IN BLUE...]

Maybe... Where... are you from?

[travelingbelle]

[WOULD THAT BE GOOD OR BAD.]

A place kind of far away, called Kanto. There's a little town called Pallet Town there, and that's where my home is.

Where are you from?

[paletteknife]

[Oh, only the best.]

Pallet Town... [Judging by her smile, she is very comfortable with the sound of that. But it quickly vanishes as she realizes that she has no response for Blue's question.]

Where I'm... from...? It's...

...nowhere important or anything! It probably isn't even on a map!

[travelingbelle]

[Mmmmm roses. But, no, Blue tilts her head curiously.]

But isn't it important to you....? [Blue don't bug the little kid geez.] Oh! You don't really have to tell me, though. I know we just met!

What's your name?

[paletteknife]

[LADY YOU ASK TOO MANY QUESTIONS. Note to self: Create some kind of cover story. For now, just very quickly jump on the chance to change topics.]

My name is Mary!

[travelingbelle]

[TOPIC CHANGE: SUCCESS.]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Mary. Are you going to be attending school here too?

[paletteknife]

Yeah! I just got here a little while ago. But I've never been to a school before...

[travelingbelle]

Ooh, then I should be telling you welcome to the school too! Though maybe that's odd, since you were still here first. It'll be something new for both of us, at least! I've never gone to college either.
