[004G - Video]
[A hand lifts and she adjusts the video feed to offer a closer look at her. Her expression is a tad thoughtful with perhaps a little concern lying beneath the surface.]
Hello.
[She waves a little. This is the first time she's using video. Evidently this is a big deal for her.]
I understand that tensions are running a bit high at the moment, so I thought it might be appropriate to offer a bit of a distraction. Don't worry; I've not started anything yet. This is more or less gauging the response of the public to see if there's an interest or lack of interest in an idea.
I'm from a town called Lilycove. It's well-known in Hoenn for being the centre of Pokémon contests. I've noticed we don't have anything like this in the academy or in Final Destination. I'm aware we have quite the variety of people here and I thought perhaps there might be some intrigue in having a contest hall right here. It'd certainly make things easier on those who don't wish to return to their regions due to inconvenience.
For those unfamiliar with the term, back home the contests are used to display a Pokémon's particular abilities based on efficiency and aesthetic. It would be a bit unfair for me to limit to Pokémon, however, and I want everyone to feel like they're welcome to participate as well. I'm still working on how I'd like to do that, aside from talent competitions. Such as a 'come and show us everything you have'.
Winners get ribbons of their accomplishments and there are all kinds of ribbons, too. They look like... [For demonstrative purposes, she reaches past the camera feed and draws back a plaque of ribbons.] ...this! Aren't they cute? And there are all different kinds.
I'd really like some of your guys' thoughts on the idea, perhaps suggestions, or things you'd like to see or experience. I'm rather well-versed in the world of contests, so I'd really love to have a hand in making it come to life. I just think this would be a really great way to add something to the community and make it more welcoming.

DON'T LOOK AT MEEEE
Didn't mean he could stop, though. But at least he could accept a different perspective on himself.]
Guess you're right 'bout that. It'd be pretty annoyin' if I believed my own hype.
[Vinnie paused. Letting his self image come between helping a friend was the exact opposite of what he was supposed to do, right? Even if said help involved using his image. He glanced away, idly scratching at the stubble coming in at his jawline.]
...I really don't know anything 'bout this stuff, so. I guess you'd have to teach me?
BUT YOU'RE SO CUTE.
Then she found her expression contorting in disapproval.]
I'm not interested in making you uncomfortable. So if you still want to help out, I'm sure I can find something different. A better question would be to ask what kinds of things you like to do.
