[VIDEO]

[A young woman comes into view, the lighting a bit dim. Were those candles? Regardless, she seems to be dressed a bit oddly, the flickering light doing even more to make her seem mysterious. Even still, she smiles.]

Hello~ With things winding down from the difficult situation in Caldera, it looks like we've grown quite a bit! I don't know how many Calderans have warp bands, but if you do, welcome! I hope that everyone is settling in all right.

My name is Nozomi Toujou, and I work with my family at Etteilla, a shop in Ninetails Vale. You may not have heard of it. Our specialty is in fortune telling and charms, and because of the sudden influx of visitors, as well as the Kurain School of Channelling opening the public, we're running a short special! Anyone who brings a friend to Etteilla will get 10% off for themselves and anyone with them; and 25% if you enroll with our school~

[It's such a great deal, and after a few shameless plugs for her cousin's school, she draws a strange-looking card, holding it close to her face. The Wheel of Fortune.]

My cards say you should take a chance, and they're never wrong!

[ACTION]

[All around Union, Nozomi, Mithra the male Nidoran and Lakshmi the Purrloin are out and about! She is doing what she can to talk up the Channelling school, as well as taking the time to do a fair bit of work getting new customers for her shop. Business hadn't been slow per se, but with the population burst that came from all the new refugees filtering into the city, she would be stupid not to take advantage of that.

In the business district, she is focusing purely upon passing out literature to varying degrees of success. For some odd reason, people didn't take as much stock in psychics and channellers and the like, which always seemed odd to her.

She can also be seen around the market, although she appears to be more focused upon getting groceries than meeting with people. She gets the usual--produce and other foodstuffs, treats for Mithra and Lakshmi--although she stops at a meat vendor and watches for a bit. Is that a small look of longing? It was so expensive, but...

Finally, once her errands are done, she can be seen at the park, letting her two pokemon get all their pent up energy out by running and chasing each other. She, however, seems content with people watching. She doesn't appear to be looking for anything or anyone in particular, but has a bit of a smirk on her face, as if there's some joke there that only she gets.]

Yeah. It is.

[That's one thing she doesn't miss]

You'll like Union, then. It doesn't get too hot even in the summer, and we usually get a bit of snow in the winter.

[Her tone softens considerably]

I've never seen snow I hadn't made myself.

[Nozomi smiles gently.]

It's really pretty, especially when it falls at night.

I'll have that to look forward to, then.

There are things to enjoy in Union.

I figured as much.

If you ever want someone to show you around, let me know, okay? I'd be happy to.

[Because you're an interesting one, and she definitely wants to be friends.]

[She hesitates a bit]

I may have to... take you up on that offer.

You don't have to if you don't want to, but I thought I'd offer. I don't know how many people you know here yet, so I thought I'd volunteer.

You are right though, I really could use someone to show me around. I don't have any idea where anything is.

I'd be happy to, then! Just tell me when.

Whenever you have a free moment, really.

Mmm...

[She looks around, finding a clock.]

I was thinking about closing shop soon...

Well if you don't mind...

Sure, give me a minute.

[And she'll go off to start closing the store.]

Make yourself at home!

[Standing around awkwardly is making yourself at home right? 'cause that's how this is going down]

[Mithra at least is going to try to take advantage of this moment to chat up Jakša. So... how about that Nidoran stuff?

Something seems to be rubbing up against your leg and purring, Eri.]

[Jakša will look at Mithra a bit warily. What are you even doing?

Eri, meanwhile, will look down at whatever is rubbing against her leg]

[Carrying conversation? Or trying to? Yeah, he's not very good at this...

It's a Purrloin, who looks up and trills at Eri before rubbing against her leg again.]

[Jakša sighs. Pathetic.

Eri meanwhile will reach down to absentmindedly scratch Purrloin's head]

[He's not used to talking to other Nidoran! He's just nervous!

Lakshmi knows a sucker when she sees one, and will push her head into Eri's hand. More pets, human.

As Eri busies herself, Nozomi gets everything ready, finally turning over the sign to "CLOSE" before making her way back.]

You'll never get rid of her now.

[Neither am I, you don't see me freezing up like a doofus]

I don't mind. We don't see many Pokemon like this in Caldera.

[Mithra stands there, dumbfounded. He wasn't--okay, figure this out man. Obviously they got off on the wrong foot. He tries to reintroduce himself.]

Really? There are tons of Purrloins in the Old City. They're pretty common house pets.

[I know who you are. Idiot.]

I can see why.

[She continues petting the Purrloin]
