Good morning, everyone. I've got a couple of opportunities that people might be interested in.

First off, I'm looking for people who'd be interested in learning to operate Pathfinder, either as pairs of humans or a human with a Pokémon who has hands and isn't weak to Fire. If you work out, I'd be hiring you to pilot Pathfinder to and from the Tropical Island for a variable portion of its regular trips. Details will be discussed one-on-one.

Secondly, I have a Bibarel and a Diggersby who I haven't had much for them to do in a while. Rather than them just spending most of their time in the Habitat, I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in looking after them and giving them more chances to get out.

If either of these opportunities interest you, please contact me so that we can discuss the details.

Banzu out.

All mockery aside, I'd much rather be a hand on your ship than wait until the probably never when I'll be able to afford my own again. Sign me up.

[outtahere]

I'd ask about your qualifications, but I already know you're probably near the top of that list.

You have a Pokémon that can toss fuel into the firebox? I mean technically you could do it yourself, but there'd be a lot of running up and down stairs and leaving the ship without someone at the helm. I'd like to avoid that if possible.

[victimlessdetails]

Hm...most of my crew with hands are giant...Ludicolo could probably manage it if you gave him a shovel.

[outtahere]

That might work, actually. If not you can probably hunt down a Pokémon that'd be able to do the job.

Well, come on over and I can start showing you around. We can hash out the details too.

[Basically his intent is that, for every trip she makes she'll get a cut of the profits for that trip. He'll be taking some of the money himself of course, but she'll get the larger share (how much larger is up for negotiation). Who does which trip is a matter of scheduling, but if she can entice extra people to ride when she's piloting she'll naturally end up with more money (as will Banzu, but that goes without saying.). She won't be any richer than Banzu, but she'll certainly be reasonably comfortable.]

So what, you're looking for a babysitter? Or renting out their services?

[outtahere]

I was really thinking more of a trade, just without me getting a Pokémon in return. I suppose if you wanted to do rentals I could.

[makeitquick]

Oh. Just getting them a new trainer-like? [ Most people don't think like that... she didn't see it coming ] That's interesting.

[outtahere]

[Most people aren't Banzu, fortunately.]

Yeah. I figure it's better that they go with someone who can give them an more interesting time.

[It sounds so much less dickish when he phrases it like that.]

[makeitquick]

You don't get on with them? The connecting isn't great?

[ that said. ] I'd talk with 'em.

[outtahere]

Sure. Were you thinking over the Bands or in person?

[What? He didn't answer that first part? Fancy that.]

[makeitquick]

Person, obvs. You don't know someone fro ma little picture.

[toxicrevenger]

How long were you hoping to have someone look after them?

[outtahere]

Indefinitely. Like a trade, except I wouldn't be getting a Pokémon in return.

[toxicrevenger]

So essentially you're giving them away? Or would you be wanting them back eventually, just with no set time limit?

[outtahere]

The first one.

[toxicrevenger]

Is it because you didn't bond very closely with them? Or because you don't have the time to devote to them?

[Trades are common enough. Sometimes it can benefit a Pokemon to train for a while with someone other than their trainer, simply because there's a fresh perspective and no real expectations. But actually giving them away is uncommon.]

forgot I hadn't tagged this orz

[outtahere]

Things haven't worked out the way anyone thought they would in a few ways, but I'm still not gonna just kick them to the curb because of that. Least I can do is see if I can find someone else for 'em.

[He may be an asshole but he's not that much of an asshole. He's still a huge asshole though.]

[toxicrevenger]

Ah, I see. That makes sense.

[She can't imagine giving any of hers away, but she supposes she would if it really seemed like she wasn't what was best for them.]

[outtahere]

So are you interested in seeing if they'd get along with you?

[toxicrevenger]

I'd like to meet them and see if they would get along with not just me, but other members of my team.

[She doesn't have any delusions that every single one of her Pokemon will get along. Indeed, they don't. But it's still a concern as far as making sure they're a good fit.]

[outtahere]

Sure thing. Where'd you like to meet up?
