[The following message is sent to the Pokegears of John, Eridan, Vriska, Aradia and Gamzee.]

Good day. For those who don't know, I am Rose Lalonde. I am going to attempt in organizing our travel party so we may move on to Violet.
If you are questioning my hand in authority of this matter, you are free to contact John for confirmation.

First, I would suggest everyone prepare for the trip if you have not already. Be sure you have food for the journey ahead, as it will take us at least a week to arrive, perhaps longer depending on how smoothly this goes. Do make sure you have warm clothing for the travel as well. Luckily, Othur has a fire Pokemon to help provide heat. If anyone else also owns a fire Pokemon, do let me know so I may plan accordingly.

We will be meeting in the lobby of the local hotel for preliminary instructions, group preparations and a head count to ensure no one is left behind. In light of how easy it apparently is to get lost within the forest outside of town, I have gone to the locals and one kind man gave me a map for the area, which I have copied and will give to each of you.

Thank you for your cooperation.

[[Rose is sitting in the Lobby with Wooper in lap and Hoothoot in hair, accompanied by the aforementioned Othur who was currently trying to entertain his Togepi, a Quilava leaning against his leg. The rest of his Pokemon were in their Pokeballs and would likely stay there for the duration of the trip. She had already let him know what was going on and how the entire ordeal would be going down, and all that was left was to wait for the others so they would all be up to speed and ready.]]

[Oh yeah. He was already in the lobby when he got that text. He looks around for Rose, not even noticing she was there in the first place. He spots her and sits next to her, munching on cheezypuffs while he waits for everyone else to arrive.]

[[Glancing over, she blinks at the snack in his hand before sighing.]]

Please tell me you bought more than just junk food to sustain you, Eridan.

[bemykismesis.livejournal.com]

.....

[He looks at his bag of cheezypuffs and looks at his backpack. Then back at Rose.]

Define junkfood.

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

Food that offers little content, therefor causing you to eat it in larger quantities to help you feel "full", which would be an utter waste of money for a long trip ahead as you will likely run out before we even reach Violet.

[[She points to the bag of cheezypuffs.]]

In example, that.

[bemykismesis.livejournal.com]

...Oh.

Guess I should buy different food, huh.

[Yeah. He bought a fuck ton of cheezypuffs and soda for the road.]

[8luh8luh.livejournal.com]

[ Well heyyyyyyyy this is just he news that Vriska has been waiting for. Already mostly prepared for the trip, she and her Ariados head on over to meet Rose in the hotel lobby. ]

Rose, right?

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

[[Looking up from a book, she blinks and gives the girl a nod, standing up to offer a handshake.]]

Indeed. I take it you are Vriska.

[8luh8luh.livejournal.com]

That's right!
[ Offers her hand in return~ ]

You have no idea how relieved I was to hear that one of those highblood bozos wasn't going to be in charge of organizing this trip.

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

Well I am glad I could alleviate such worries. Hopefully this will go as smoothly as possible.

Would you mind if I inquired about which 'bozo's you are referring to? I have a feeling, from the way you are referring to them, that they will likely need more supervision than the rest of the group...

[8luh8luh.livejournal.com]

Well I'm of course referring to Gamzee and Eridan. And it'll probably take more than supervision to keep them out of trouble.
If it were up to me, we'd be making this trip without them. But you humans are just so nice, and I wouldn't want to go against the leader or anything!

action; Really Rose? Really?

[He's been sitting next to you the whole time Rose, just playing with Casey and generally not paying much attention. Then he recieves your message.]

Rose...why did you send this to me too? I'm right here, you couldn't just tell me all this?

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

Written word is sometimes easier to comprehend than spoken. I am just making sure you are on the same wavelength as the rest of the group.

action;

[usedwindything.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see. And don't worry about that, I'm on the same wavelength. Trust me, I'm good to go!

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

Good. I hope you have properly shopped then, and are ready for the trip ahead.

action;

[usedwindything.livejournal.com]

Ready as I can be!

[[Within a few minutes, she appears at the store entrance, looking around for whomever was needing her help. She knew who it was thanks to the Pokegear, just not what they looked like.]]

Gamzee?

[TeXt=====>aCtIoN]

[usedmiracles.livejournal.com]

[Gamzee was patiently waiting. If patiently waiting meant dozing off and forgetting what was even going on, then yeah accurate description, no fake.]

[Once he heard an unfamiliar voice say his name, whatever lack-of-sopor-induced-temporary-coma the former troll had been in was interrupted and he snapped back to reality. Is this real life?]

Hey there my brodette, you motherfuckin lookin for me?

[0kwithalot.livejournal.com]

[Aradia is pretty much ready for the journey to Violet! She's headed down to the lobby to meet Rose.]

Rose?

[action]

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

[[And Rose is totally ready as well! So she is quite happy to see Aradia.]]

Indeed. You must be Aradia, correct?

Re: [action]

[0kwithalot.livejournal.com]

Yes, I am!

So what are the plans regarding our trip to Violet?

[action]

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

Straight to the point I see.

I am hoping to implement a sort of "buddy" system, in which each of us, save for Othur here, will have a partner. Hopefully, this way, one partner will look out for the other, and vice versa.

Othur will lead, as he has a Quilava, which will give us light at night and through darker parts of the woods, since we have an odd number of travelers.

I will be watching after Eridan. Vriska suggested you to for Gamzee, so I would like to ask about that.

We also need to make sure everyone is packed for the trip and has warm clothing for when we are traveling.

Re: [action]

[0kwithalot.livejournal.com]

The buddy system sounds like a good idea. And I'd be okay with watching over Gamzee. I just hope I can keep him out of trouble...
