Video + Action in Union's commerce district!

[sparrowfeathered]

A: Video

[And it's Rose. She's grinning brightly, leaning down and looking at the monitor. Behind her, her Blaziken has his arms crossed and is watching. While Rose beams at the camera.]

I tell you, I take one business trip to Caldera and... uh... another god shows up! This got pretty intense, huh? Is everyone all right?

I'm a little worried about you guys!

B: Action

[True to promises made, the Spearowfeathers have set up a shop. There is a storefront with a brightly painted sign of a Spearow on it, and the word "SPEAROWFEATHERS" written underneath it. Rose is standing outside the storefront. They're not open yet; instead, her people are moving things into it, carrying wooden crates and everything else.]

[Rose has her arms crossed. But she looks proud.]

[They're moving up in the world! But it's also quite a sight; it's not every day that a new storefront opens up after all. (Thank Lenna for the loan.)]

[divine_braid]

Welcome back. You missed all the fun.

[He grinned.]

[sparrowfeathered]

Yeah, tell me about it. It sounded pretty... intense?

[divine_braid]

Intense is one way of putting it. There was a lot of ... mind stuff going on. Feelings and emotions and psychic things.

But, it looks like things are okay? [He shrugged.] Not really sure. Either way, I've got this Gengar following me around now. One of the Pokémon that showed up. A lot of them stayed behind after Mew-Two left, and they sort of bonded maybe with some of us? It's hard to tell.

[sparrowfeathered]

Yeah... it seemed complicated.

Sounds pretty cool, though! Glad some of them are helping us.

[divine_braid]

[He nodded.]

Yeah. Having some of them stick around to help was a good benefit this time.

So, what were you doing in Caldera?

[sparrowfeathered]

Oh, it was just a business trip! I was negotiating contracts and stuff.

[divine_braid]

Sounds kinda boring... I hope it was successful, at least.

[sparrowfeathered]

Sure was! Boring pays the bills, mister!

[divine_braid]

Well, yeah... but that doesn't seem to make it any less boring.

Did you at least take a little time for fun?

[sparrowfeathered]

Sure. I visited some old friends and stuff there. It's where I grew up!

[divine_braid]

That's good, at least. [He smiled at that.] Glad to see you're back. And in one piece. [With how things had been lately, it was important to see people in one piece. It had been a rough few months.]

[sparrowfeathered]

Mm-hm. Thanks. Me, too. It's been pretty crazy on that front, lately.

[divine_braid]

[He smiled a bit and then nodded.]

Just a bit. Here's hoping things calm down a little for a while, eh? We've got some big holidays coming up.

[Not that he really was crazy with observing them... he just liked the parties.]

[sparrowfeathered]

Amen! I don't want my party getting screwed up by someone screwing around, man!

[divine_braid]

[He laughed.]

Definitely.

Speaking of parties, do you have anything specific plans for one, yet? I've been debating if I wanted to do something big this year.

[sparrowfeathered]

Nah, not yet. I wanna see what parties people throw, before I start organizing one. Maybe I can help supply them, though...

[divine_braid]

Well, if you need help with delivering, lemme know. It's slow here around that time, so I could use the extra work on the side.

[sparrowfeathered]

Hmm. I think we could work something out there! We can always use the help.

[divine_braid]

Alright, cool. Just lemme know. [He gave her a little wave.] Talk to you later.
