2nd Order [joint video post]

[hallacious]

Good afternoon, Union! I hope your day thus far has been as productive as possible!

[The intense-looking boy on the Warp Band gives an impassioned salute and moves the camera over to encompass both him and a girl around his age.]

Yes, good afternoon! For those who do not know us, I am Pearl Fey, and this is Kiyotaka Ishimaru.

[The girl in question gives a smile before bowing politely, looking every inch the proper young lady. ]

As I am sure you are all aware, the recent earthquakes in the city have taken a toll on all citizens, some to a harsher degree than others. That’s why we feel it is of the utmost importance to deliver this information to you as promptly as we can!

We of the Kurain School in Ninetails Vale practice meditation as a way to hone our spiritual abilities, but it can have many positive effects even for those who don’t study the spiritual arts! That’s why the two of us have decided to pool our efforts to help anyone in Union who may want to learn how to properly meditate in order to help deal with any stress or negative energies that may be burdening you at this time.

If you are interested in calming your spirit once more, we will be giving an instruction at the Kurain School for both beginners and those with some experience already! We hope that you take this offer into consideration.

As always, stay vigilant!

[ PEARL IS THAT A BOY??? WHY ARE YOU WITH A BOY?! YOU'RE, LIKE, 12. ]

[ SHE'LL TALK TO YOU LATER ABOUT THIS YOUNG LADY.

In the meantime, the older psychic-type smiles a bit, somewhat amused by the fact that, yeah, okay, this is actually kind of really cute. ]

Did Mayocchi suggest you two do this?

[hallacious]

[He doesn't know who...Mayo is, but he decides to answer anyway.]

I'm afraid not! Fey-kun and I thought of the idea shortly after the initial tremors. Have you ever meditated before, miss?

[The poster child of chivalry.]

[ EXCUSE YOU NOZOMI SHE IS 15

and for now, oblivious to any thoughts Nozomi might have about her new-found friend, oh dear. instead, she positively beams, her hands joining in front of her in that excited gesture she shares with Maya. ]

Oh, hello Nozomi! Actually, Mr. Ishimaru and I came up with the idea ourselves. I must admit I wasn't really thinking about publicity for the school at the time, but I guess that's a nice bonus, right?

[ because that is clearly what is on everyone's mind right now, Pearly... ]

[Video]

[The other member of the Kurain School can't help but answer the call. She's behind you 100% Nozomi! Pearl you are too young to be hanging around with weirdly intense boys! Seriously!

Still, she puts on a politely tight smile as both she and a rather serious looking Xatu both appear on the video. The bird leans in close, clucking to itself almost like it's trying to shame the kids before Rei pushes it's head out of the way.]

Pearl? Goodness, who's this fine boy? and where did you need him?

[SUSPICIOUS.]

[Video]

[pearltergeist]

Mr. Ishimaru? I just happened to reply to the public service announcement he made just after the earthquake a few weeks ago. Um, if it's not rude, Rei... why do you ask?

[ because even Pearl can't miss the implications in Rei's questioning... ]

[Video]

[faithfulflame]

Because...he's a boy? And you're a family friend?

[She is just being responsible! Like a responsible adult! That's Rei!]

[Video]

[allergictoloveletters]

It's wonderful to see you both willing to help, and with something that is quite useful too. I'm sure you'll have multitudes lining up to learn meditation. [She knows how, and while it's different from Rei's, it is still meditation.]

I wish you both the best of luck.

[video]

[hallacious]

Your well wishes are greatly appreciated! We won't let you down!

[He definitely hopes her expectations come true. Being able to teach so many people the value of discipline has been a long-time dream of his.]

[Video]

[allergictoloveletters]

May I ask who all the teachers for this will be and class sizes?

[celebrity_commentator]

Hm...

[Rise had honestly been avoiding the various general entreaties for Psychic School ever since she realized she was Psychic, but if it's just a meditation class...]

I might be interested. I'm kind of surprised to see you helping advertise it though, Ishimaru.

[hallacious]

Is that so?

[Ishimaru nods.]

I may not be an Enlightened psychic like some people, but a student must be able to balance their body and mind to achieve success. Meditation has been one method of balance I've practiced for years now!

Either way, your consideration is very much appreciated! Fey-kun and I hope to see you in attendance.

[celebrity_commentator]

Huh! I hadn't thought about it like that. I guess there's more to it than just thinking about nothing.

[toxicrevenger]

I have some experience with the Kurain School classes already. They were quite helpful.

[At least as far as learning to work better with her Ghost-type Pokemon.]

[Video]

[pearltergeist]

Oh, really? I am very glad to hear that! What sort of classes did you take with us?

[Video]

[toxicrevenger]

I took classes to help me connect to my Ghost and Psychic Pokemon better. Particularly one of my Ghost types. A Golurk, then a Golett. Mimosa is painfully shy and the classes helped me to work with him better.

[makeitquick]

You guys are both Kurain? Maya's? Jinxie's?

[ Other related people there. But she's seen at least one of this dynamic duo around ]

[ video ]

[pearltergeist]

Oh no, it's only me! Mystic Maya and Mystic Jinxie are both my cousins. I've been training in the Kurain technique since I was very small.

[ video ]

[makeitquick]

Oh! So y'are Maya's! Never met you there, must be this is your big début, isn't it?

[hallacious]

As for myself, I am a completely ordinary person, but I meditate fairly frequently! In fact, my Pokémon are all well-versed in meditation as well!

[VIGOROTH SCREECH...]

...except...for perhaps Aritomo.

[makeitquick]

That's surprising! I mean, you've sounded loud every time I've heard you.

[niepokonany]

So like... not that I'm interested or anything, but what kind of negative energies?

[pearltergeist]

Well... what I mainly had in mind was those kinds of negative energies that can occur in someone thanks to emotional hardship. When practiced properly, meditation can be a great aid in helping to dispel the effects of negative emotions or stressful experiences.

[niepokonany]

So like... if someone kept getting into fights with their friends 'cause something bad happened and their friends keep trying to help but they don't know how and it just makes it hurt more when they try, it could help with that kind of stuff?

[...Lying and subtlety are not really in Feliks's skill set.]

[hallacious]

That is simple! Excessive stress, debilitating sicknesses, troubles of the very soul...all may be resolved through proper meditation!
