TEXT.

[nippy]

yo! i'm not the kind of guy that's big on research, so i hope it's cool if i throw a question out here. wayyy better than flipping through books and digging through some old guy's notes (no offence to any bookish nerd types, but boring is NOT my thing)

anyway, the Q!

does anybody know anything about homunculi?

[imprudens]

never heard the word! sorry. but if you want, i've got a friend who's a librarian, i could ask him.

[nippy]

yeah, it's worth a shot. if it helps your friend, you can tell him that it's like a magical construct made from a living being? but that's about all i've got.

[ well, he knows a little more, but "mage puppet" isn't going to help in a library search. ]

seriously, i'm even using the exact same words every time 'cause i have no idea how else to explain it. so good luck to your friend with finding anything! i sure haven't had any.

[imprudens]

i'll let you know if he finds anything. but wow! that's really interesting. i don't think we have magic like that in union, actually. have you talked to the seekers yet?

[nippy]

... no? uh, i'm kind of new to the city and also not entirely sure what the seekers are.

[imprudens]

oh, the seekers are an organization! they travel around and look for artifacts and old ruins and they gather all sorts of information they come across. we've got a few of them here, but i hear they're in other cities as well.

[nippy]

huh. well, i heard about the homunculus thing from sanctuary, but i could at least see if the seekers have found anything.

[imprudens]

a lot of people just went to sanctuary recently. since they've all come back by now, your timing couldn't be better.

and before i forget, welcome to union! i hope you'll like it here.

[nippy]

yeah, i knew something had gone down. still not entirely sure what happened, but i figured maybe some people smarter than me might have picked up on some info while they were there.

thanks for the welcome. i'm kind of a wanderer, so i dunno how long i'll be around. i'll try to take in the sights while i'm here!

[imprudens]

all i know is that the people from sanctuary asked for our help as well as caldera's to kick gigas out of the city. i'm not really the fighting kind, so i didn't go.

if you need any recommendations, i've lived here all my life! so i might be able to point you somewhere.

[nippy]

sounds messy. guess i'll see what else i can find out about it.

hey, i'm all ears! i've been through here a few times before and i never really looked around, the whole place is a mystery to me.

[imprudens]

well, what sort of stuff do you like to do?

[nippy]

i'm mostly an action guy! i bet i could make pretty much anything fun, though.

[imprudens]

not a local thing obviously, but there's actually a solstice festival in caldera this weekend. that would be a lot of action for sure. i was thinking of going there too! apparently people throw colored powder at each other for fun?

[nippy]

ohhhh i think i've heard about that once before! i didn't go cuz the heat was too much for me, but i could probably take it now. sounds like my kind of fun!

[imprudens]

i think i'll go too! i've never seen this before, so it's gonna be exciting. i mean i should maybe worry about the heat too, but i'm sure it'll work out somehow!

what's your name by the way?

[nippy]

not a fan of heat either? i'm 5' something of snowflakes and ice cubes, what's your excuse?

and on the subject of snowflakes and ice cubes, my name happens to be Jack Frost! you'll know me if you see me, kid with white hair + a pain in my neck in the form of a Duskull friend.

[imprudens]

hmm, is not being an enlightened enough of an excuse?

[ annnd he's just gonna turn on the video feed because that's easier. smiles! ]

And my name is Tatara Totsuka. I guess I look pretty normal, so I'm not that easy to spot, but I'm usually surrounded by at least four pokémon if that helps. Nice to meet you.

[ the fletchinder perched on his shoulder chirps a greeting at the feed. ]

[nippy]

oh!!! wait i think mine does that too, i totally forgot about it.

[ like hell he was going to ask about Homunculi across anything but text, with the high chance of awkward questioning and him having to try and play it cool, but this went differently. this one would be okay. ]

2/2 video.

[nippy]

Okay! Yeah, that is definitely easier than awkward descriptions. Tatara, is it?

[ a Duskull watches curiously from where it hovers just behind him, but it makes no noise. ]
