Hello, everyone! Now that things are starting to calm down again, I've got a favor to ask of anyone willing to help me out.

You see, I've got a couple of Pokémon that only evolve via trading, and until now, I've been too busy to see to that myself. So, now that I have some free time, I'd like some help in evolving these Pokémon. In exchange...well, just let me know if there's anything I can do for you. If not, I'd be happy to pay you for your time.

That's all for now. Enjoy some rest -- you all have earned it.

I'll help you if it doesn't require me to move much...

[stop_cannontime]

Ah?

[That sounds like a problem. He's a little worried now.]

Are you all right? What happened?

[ladyofluminosity]

Sakina. She's a monster.

[stop_cannontime]

Sakina? One of the Enhanced people?

[He's inferring from context.]

[ladyofluminosity]

She tried to kill us.

[ With fitness. ]

[stop_cannontime]

...So then negotiations went poorly.

[Which is probably a major understatement.]

[ladyofluminosity]

Oh, no, they went fine. Much better than planned, in fact. She just nearly killed two of us is all.

[stop_cannontime]

I wouldn't call that "fine," even if the net result was positive.

But back to the original subject, would you mind if I stopped by? I'd like to confirm the evolution with my own eyes -- and see if I can give you a hand with anything.

[ladyofluminosity]

Everyone made it back alive, didn't they? I call that a success.

[ Even if her current world was pain. ]

That would actually help a lot. Moving around is... difficult. Not impossible, but I'd prefer to not tempt fate.

[rainsrespite]

Depends. Do you have the items involved too? Or are these the simpler kind?

[stop_cannontime]

I do. In fact, I made them on my own. I've got an Electabuzz with an Electirizer, a Porygon with an Up-Grade, and an Onix with a Metal Coat.

[rainsrespite]

Should have asked, first. I can kind of...circumvent...the need for items like that most of the time. I can ignore the trade aspect, or the item. That's my...Ability. But I'll help out.

[She laughs faintly.]

As for payment, well...I could use an Engineer's help

[stop_cannontime]

Oh, you don't say! Well, that'll be good knowledge to have in the future -- especially as I plan to bond with a Scyther next.

Anyway, you have my gratitude. So, what kind of help are you looking for?

[rainsrespite]

Well, I'm looking for someone to help put together some protective gear. Are you any good with that sort of stuff? Not...armor, technically, but tougher clothing?

[stop_cannontime]

Oh, certainly. I'll need some time to work on it, but that's well within my capability to do. I'll just need a couple of weeks to get it done.

[rainsrespite]

Thanks. I'll meet up with you later on and give you the specifics and we can work the trades out then.

[stop_cannontime]

Sure thing. Where would you like to meet? You're free to come by my lab.

[rainsrespite]

That's fine. Give me...maybe an hour and an address and I'll be there.

[stop_cannontime]

Sure thing.

[Jayce gives her his address, then bids farewell to the conversation and starts tinkering away at stuff for an hour.]

[toxicrevenger]

I wouldn't mind helping you with them. I'm generally willing to Poke-sit as long as I'm not working on a big research project at the time.

[stop_cannontime]

Actually, I had a Master of Evolution offer to help me out. Nevertheless, I appreciate the gesture.

[toxicrevenger]

Then you can consider me your back up.

[She's not going to push the issue, and instead just decides to be sociable.]

How have you been lately?

[stop_cannontime]

Fair enough.

Doing well, for the most part. Looking forward to some business as usual now after that debacle with the Enhanced people. Hopefully they'll get by better now.

[toxicrevenger]

I think they're going to need a lot of patience and compassion before they'll truly get better. They've been through horrific experiences.

[stop_cannontime]

Most likely. But they're also more likely to get that here than they were in Gigas, so I'd say their prognosis is looking better already.
